Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Panthers at Redskins)

Why? Because he's wise enough to stay away or were not pursuing him?he won't have a choice if he is claimed off waivers. if he clears waivers, then he can stay away.

anyone think he'll clear waivers?

we would be pretty early on in the waiver list, I didn't look at his contract but it is clearly something we need help in and if he is inexpensive and a mulityear guy that could take some of the pressure off the front office in the offseason to add to that group with free agents.

I think his contract is an issue. Also, gotta wonder why teams are dumping him so soon after signing him to big deals

Even if we jettison our newly healthy RT, saving us tons of money?

You mean Jammal Brown? If we learned anything from Brown's tenure with the Redskins is that he can't stay healthy for a full season. It would be better if the Redskins found a Jon Jansen type in the 3rd or 4th round of next year's draft. My patience with Jammal Brown has run out. Even if Brown starts the remaining 7 games and plays admirably, if I were the general manager and the head coach I would be looking past him to a healthier, younger, and stronger prospect.

Until this team shows a heart, it doesn't matter. It starts at the top with Snyder, and a fish rots from the head down. Down to players who may remember the old culture of bypassing the coaches, straight to the owners and rumor mill, ego and parties before football. A locker room that still might be a mess.

We can bring in 53 new guys, and if the culture of the locker room doesn't change, it doesn't matter.

From Ryan Clark. LINK. (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2011/01/ryan_clark_on_redskins_vs_stee.html) Others have said similar things.:
"I think in Washington you just have so much going on. You have such an organization built on putting people in the seats and finding extravagant ways to do things, instead of winning football games all the time. You know, I loved playing in Washington. It was a great place. And they just go about their business a little differently than the Pittsburgh Steelers do."

This team's current drama reminds me of the bad old days in 2000 after our own dream team blew up. Fingers pointed everywhere, not just at the guys obviously screwing up.

I think we could win with the guys we have now. Gibbs could get these guys heads out of their asses at least every other year. But we're talking about HOF coaching there. Yeah Gibbs wasn't great in picking personnel, but nobody got better from people they coached. It shouldn't have to come to that now. This team is supposed to be full of adults.

All blame. No heart. Looking at team news, and the internet, I really really hope we're not back in 2000 mode. Prove me wrong please, Skins! Come together this bye week! I'd rather even keep Haslett and Smith on the team, if all this drama would stop. This franchise seems to have gone full retard already this season with all the rumors flying, just like the bad old days.

Wanted to post this good breakdown of some missed opportunities by RGIII.

Despite what's happened so far this year, I think the Redskins can pull themselves out of this and play great football during the remainder of the season. We must look at what's straight ahead. We've lost games that were winnable. I think Haslett and Shanahan knows this and so do the players on both sides of the ball. All they have to do is play smarter and harder and just like that the Redskins can end up 10-6 and make the post season.
