The Goat 01-30-2013, 03:17 PM I don't remember. I think you tend to lean toward playing veterans-Gaffney, Ochocinco, etc-until their legs fall off. But at some point you have to let the young guys get on the field and gain experience
It's a good point. Though my beef with the Gaffney vs Garcon discussion was about value, and it was before the info on Gaffney's off-field thing was public. (I figure the FO knew about it, and made the right decision)
Do you think Robinson has a higher ceiling than Jackson? This year? Next year?

Can we truly compare Lawrence Taylor to Ray Lewis? Lawrence Taylor never played inside linebacker and Ray Lewis never played outside linebacker. But Rob Jackson has proven to be the better and more valuable player between he and Robinson. Keenan Robinson will improve with time. He was just a rookie this season.

Ummm...fine post.

I don't know what you mean, but we're talking about how close the Redskins are from being a consistently good team.
Here's why Jackson at MLB makes little sense...
Q: what’s the likelihood of an OLB transitioning successfully to MLB. Could Rob Jackson fill that hole? Dude had 3ints this yr. — @themoshe
JK: Depends on the player; Lorenzo Alexander did it but as a backup and not in a full-time role. For Jackson? No way. He did a nice job making plays but he would not be considered a good cover linebacker by any means. He did a terrific job on the picks, but playing in coverage is a big weakness and to move inside would require a major improvement in this area. (He’d also have to lose about 20 pounds). I can’t imagine him covering tight ends or backs. It’s safe to say the coaches would not want to see that either. You’d also need him to re-learn the defense from an inside ‘backer’s perspective and I think that would take time for him.

GusFrerotte 02-02-2013, 10:06 PM WE can still make the playoffs, just depends on how Cousins adjusts to being the starter for most if not all of next season. RGIII has no business playing football for the 2013 season if I had anything to do with it. They should "Strauss" his butt next season. I know I will get flack for that, but he is going to miss most of the season anyway, why risk anything at all?

OK here's the beginning of the flak.
What evidence or expertise do you have to say that "RGIII has no business playing football for thr 2013 season"? You specialize in rehab of knees, are you an MD with an orthopedic specialty? My guess is that, at most you stayed in a Holiday Inn Express at some point. Stop talking out of your a--.
I assume your reference to Strauss was for Steven Strasburg. Yeah, that makes sense, compare a shoulder injury for a baseball pitcher to a torn up knee by a football player. Brilliant.
And has anybody, any expert, you know, someone that actually knows what they're talking about recommended that RG will "miss the season" as you suggest? I think not. So stop making baseless statements about what RG will or will not do next season and wait with the rest of us to see how his rehab progresses...

Robert's knee rehab is ahead of schedule. We still don't know how much time he'll miss if any. He's been off crutches for 2 weeks and is doing fine. It's only February now and the 2013 NFL season kicks off in September so that could prove a long time for him to heal. Cousins has already brought the Redskins back in a come from behind win in one game and started another game. We all know he can start....after all he was a 4 year team captain at Michigan State.
The Goat 02-07-2013, 01:14 AM Things are bound to change between now and the season, but right now I think our success for 2013 will depend on 50% RG's status, 25% London's status, 20% division quality and 5% other.
If RG doesn't "feel" healthy it could be worse than starting Cousins. If London is done the defense will suffer badly. And in 2012 we benefited from all the other NFCE teams having lousy seasons for one reason or another, what's gonna happen if they all improve i.e. play to the level of their talent and without a crazy string of injuries like the Eagles and Cowboys experienced? If three of those go badly we could be a 5-11.
If RG feels awesome and we tweak the offense to protect his health, London returns and the division has another average year we could 11-5.
Probably turns out somewhere in the middle, but hopefully more on the high end of wins.
