Coach Gibbs press conference live @ 12pm

also said that they began negotiating with Fred and Antonio during the season

If you pay more to a player, effecting decisons down the road. Not so much the money as it is players, wants to keep players together. Not as much $$; "wish we didnt have salary cap" - someone on this board called that quote.

basically going to say that they cost too much and would have hurt the team in other places, and that he didnt want to pay more for smoot than springs, because it'd set a precedent to overpay springs or whoever else further down the road.

Hopefully Greg Williams will speak. Then again, He respects Gibbs too much to have to. :oink:

In this situation; they had 14 FA's. They gave the players a choice; and they went after guys. Thinks were all set with Ray Brown. Were successful with 14 guys and lost two guys (Perice/Smoot)

"Trying to work hard to keep the football team together." "As long as it is resonable, we'll work with the players. We've lost 3 out of 14 players that we've wanted to keep"

As long as things remain within reason, they are going to try to resign players. They dont want anyone to leave here. He sounds very dissapointed about losing these guys; although he wont really say it.

Is this press conference meant to keep all of us diehard Skins fans from pulling a Kurt Cobain or to introduce Santana Moss?

"We don't want it to happen, now or in the future, we want to keep players". "We work extremely hard, Vinnie and the scouts" "We put grades on, we make a choice. Whenever we make a choice we're all together, the player has a Redskins garde on themn. Me, Vinnie and Dan make the best plans we can. Having said that officially someone has to take the heat when it doesn't go well".

Red Robert; Kurt Kobain.
