DT now a Panther

YOU are correct CRR. This team has wasted way to much money and time on guys that should not have been aquired....AND then waiting forever for the "never to come" pay off. It is SERIOUSLY refreshing that the new regime can cut ties, walk away with the "come bust your ass and maybe you can be a proud Redskin" philosphy for he next candidate..........
Shanny talks continuosly of "building something here" type jargon...Love it!

Well I guess we all will get to see if we were right or wrong pretty soon.

He starts and shines= we screwed up.
He starts and doesn't see the ball thrown his way= SSDD.

So they signed Devin Thomas "to boost stagnant offense" ?

Good luck with that Panthers.

The same may be said about McNabb.:duel:

This is the thing. When you watch other teams toying around with the likes of James Jones and Jordy Nelson you wonder if a player is just not being utilized.

I wonder the same thing, but with DT...how many years does he get? I mean we have done this and done this with players with HUGE deals that never come to fruition. I REALLY liked DT and was excited when they drafted him. Damn disappointed he didn't work out.
That is why a guy like Shanny is SO damn valuable. I would keep the bastard forever hoping he would get it. I don't think emotion is part of the equation for MS. AND it should not be or?????? YOU have the Redskins roster problems.
AND finally it is....ridiculous that I as a fan, (even if I was an exceptionally astute fan) am qualified in ANY way to make those decisions.

If he has some bad habits, he may have not learned his lesson geting picked up so quick. It just seems he was given a hard time. Regardless of when he was drafted, he still contributed and seemingly more valuable than Roydell Williams. A ton of money wasn't saved cutting him either.

I just don't understand them keeping Williams or Galloway over DT. But I guess the coaches have their reasons.

The same may be said about McNabb.:duel:

Kinda confused? McNabb is producing. McNabb showed up to OTA's. McNabb practiced all preseason. At the end of the day McNabb busts his butt and gets the job done. I guess your refering to the same thing could be said about Thomas also?

I am with you Skins, but the vets paid their dues and obviously showed up to practice and worked hard. Shanny is going to build something, the thing is he didn't have a solid foundation to begin with, and it will take time. He acquired Donovan, but before that, all he had was Cooley, Portis, and Moss on offense, with a crappy line, and no complimentary Wrs to help Moss out. Armstrong is a start, but we need two more Wrs,(at least one more), a couple guards, and a tackle. The D we need linemen and a few DBs.

I think I would have the same problem. I will say though with DT, I felt it was either the position coach Hixon or DT himself. We bring in a whole new position coach (that alot of people were happy to have), new HC, and new scheme, DT still didn't pan out. So basically I gave up on him when he was moved up the roster. Clearly he's doing something wrong.

But Gibbs was the same way he would label players starters and there was no challenging for the roster spot it seemed. Loyal to the end I guess. This new coaching staff is impressing me all the time. You either perform or your gone. There is little time to wait for a player to "get it."

Well, Joe2 during his tenure help us regain some respect, putting us in the road to recovery, provided much needed leadership, etc. BUT Joe2......was a shadow of Joe1. He, Casserly, and Bethard were unequaled in player aquisition
