Redskins trade for Free Safety Dashon Goldson

I'd like to help clarify if possible......
Our safeties suck shit.....
This dude did not cost us shit.....
For a potential starter that does not suck shit..
In a safety draft year that sucks shit......
Pissed at this deal? No shit...

LMAO

Best... Clarification... Ever...

We do not lose ANY picks this year. We get Goldson and 2016 7th rounder for a 2016 6th rounder.

Hell, we win the SB and TBay ends up with the worst record in the NFL next year, we get a starting caliber FS for dropping one spot in the 2016 draft at the 6th/7th round turn (Yeah, I know it's unlikely - but people are critiquing the move based on BS logic, bad facts, and speculation; I think only fair I get to use the same in response).

Uh, no. That's because if we all thought that way most of the posts of this entire community would be BS. And that would be sad because, right now, only about 49% of all our posts are BS. I'm not counting my own posts, of course, because I didn't want to raise the BS percentage above 50%.

He was definitely not great in Tampa, but keep in mind the scheme fit has a lot to do with that. I think given the teeny tiny price we're paying in both draft picks and guaranteed money, I think folks need to be reminded of the upside that comes from a guy getting out of a scheme that didn't fit him.

Will our scheme resemble San Fran's? Well it's one-gap, press corner, and aggressive. It's not too far off. So keep in mind what you could be getting:

If you think about what Goldson's good at, it's reading and reacting to plays in front of him, and laying dudes out with snot-bubbler hits. He's not a center-field angel like we had with Sean Taylor (who was simultaneously the best hitter we've ever had).

So Goldson's success with us will come down to our pass rush. If the QB has time and he's asked to cover deep then we'll get gashed some. But if we're in the QB's face with pressure (like we could be with Kerrigan + Fowler), then Goldson will be there to lay out punishing hits and force fumbles.

Coverage skills not so much, but tackling? Massive upgrade.

I'm not saying he's Revis but wasn't Revis cast off to the Bum Island while in Tampa? Some guys can't play that Tampa 2 System. It's just how it is. I like the move. He plays with an attitude and is physical. Even though he's caught a fine or two, hopefully it doesn't continue here. Hopefully it spreads to the rest of the defense. Mighty McCloughan of The Clan McClloughan is doing pretty good so far.

Uh, no. That's because if we all thought that way most of the posts of this entire community would be BS. And that would be sad because, right now, only about 49% of all our posts are BS. I'm not counting my own posts, of course, because I didn't want to raise the BS percentage above 50%.

Sorry. I shall endeavor to reduce, not enhance, the BS quotient. I will also remember to use the sarcasm font when appropriate.

Guys you have to realize that we have a lot of experts on this site..to listen to some of them you would believe they were GM's at one point..the move was a good move..end of story..to argue this point proves you know nothing about football..What really scares me is using a top draft pick on a player that has never played in the NFL and expect that to work out every time. A proven NFL player that has reached pro bowl level in his career to replace some of the worse DB play i ever saw last year..yea right on guys ! we should have just sat still and did nothing ..The truth is no matter what the redskins do you will always have the experts doubt it..

Is Chris Conte An Upgrade Over Goldson? - Bucs Nation (http://www.bucsnation.com/2015/3/12/8198849/is-chris-conte-an-upgrade-over-goldson)




Meh. Low cost, but I'm not expecting anything good either.

No way!! Conte sucks, He gets burnt a lot and is slow. We got the better end of the deal, another reason to be happy we didn't get Lovie as our coach.

A lot of 6th & 7th round guys dont make rosters, even if we get just 1 year from him, it was a solid deal.

Was it goat or cult that had a hard-on for lovie? One of them right now is typing somewhere how lovie just punked the skins with this trade...
