Shaun Rogers and Redskins Talking

When motivated the guy can dominate.
NOT the phrase I am looking for in the potential new anchor for our D-line.........

I would say Ngata, but being B-more have seen both play and Rogers was very good and doesn't have the supporting cast that Ngata has.
Ngata is a DE.

Rank the NTs right now in this league:

1) Vince Wilfork
2) Casey Hampton
3) BJ Raji
4) Shaun Rogers

Anybody else that should go ahead of Rogers? That puts it in perspective, he'd be a gigantic addition for us.
Shaun Rogers started one game this season. Just one.

And he cracked your top 5?

Total 100% waste of time even talking to this guy. Rogers is basically an older Albert Haynesworth. Plays when he feels like it, rarely stays in shape and is somewhat of a headcase. Plus he's being flat out released by one of the worst teams in the NFL.

My thoughts...exactly. This smacks of a crappy "win now" strategy. Shanny is just a fluffer in the porno flick of life :D

Both Williams in min are better, Tommie harris is better and jay Ratliff is way better

If the Redskins were to sign Shaun Rogers, the signing would be true to their tradition.

No kidding. Does anyone around here pay attention or have we all lost our minds?

I mean that Shanny has set the bar on how he expects his players, including vets, to practice & play. Rogers would know he's not coming here to loaf & collect one of danny's big checks.

Excuse me, but once Danny Boy's big fat signing bonus check clears the bank and goes into a player's bank account, that player can loaf and create all kinds of dastardly distractions - - - because once the check is cashed, he has what he wanted from the Redskins. Shanahan can fuss and fume and stomp his feet - - but the money is already in the player's account.

If "getting paid" is at the top of the player's agenda, Shanahan is totally impotent should it come to a confrontation. See Shanny vs Fat Albert last year. If anyone declares Shanahan the winner in that spitting contest, he does not understand what happened and who is in charge of the next move.

Character and self-motivation are the keys to signing useful free agents - - not just stats and Madden ratings and declarations that the guy is "a beast".

Rogers can play very well when he wants to and is healthy. The key part of that is "wants to" because injuries cannot be predicted. The Skins have to figure out just how much he "wants to play" as opposed to "wants to be paid". The failure of the FO to do that over the past decade or so has been a significant part of the team's failures on the field.

Shaun Rogers reminds a bit of those veteran RB's (Larry Johnson and Willie Parker) we signed last offseason...their best years are behind them. All this talk of Shaun Rodgers is the 4th best NT or 5th best or whatever, it does not matter. That is true from his play over a year or two ago, not in 2010/2011 season. In the NFL, one or two years is a lot and it means the difference of really being a top 5 player and not being in the NFL at all or being a backup/role player.

He is so much younger than Maake Kemoatu!
Championship!

:doh:
