trottier and gardner

Oh yeah....almost forgot. I don't think anyone wants Trotter anymore. I hope I'm wrong....but we all know he hasn't proved anything here in DC.

Trotter is a solid middle linebacker, he didnt give up big plays and would always make the tackle. He was played as a roaming linebacker, not a blitzer. He head the team in tackles and did what he was supposed to. I dont care if they get rid of him, I think were going to run two lbs most of the time anyways, but I dont think hes a subpar player by any means, and hes only 26. The skins should have been more suddle about it to create interest.

I agree the skins shouldn't have pretty much blurted out that he wasnt gonna be playing for us anymore, but I have to disagree with the statement that he didn't give up big plays. the important one that comes to mind was when he let Stephen Davis slip out the backfield and get that huge pass and run against the Panthers and it was late in the game if I remember right 2. And was it Arrington or Trotter who gave up the big gain in overtime against the Giants cuz I'm not sure which of the two blew it on that one? Trotter definitely isn't a coverage LB and looked very confused and out of place when he tried to be this past year. but if used correctly like he was in Philli, he could wreak havok in the backfield.

At most, we'll get a third for gardner due to a deep WR draft. As for Trotter, no one would offer more than a 4th or 5th round draft pick. He hasnt prooved he can play on a probowl level for 2 years, he's making probowl money, and he's coming back from a torn ACL

Arrington was the one who let the fullback out against the giants, and we played carolina in pre-season, so that wasn't that big of a deal.

we played Carolina in the regular season as well, and I beleive thats what he is referring to

I know that I have been bashing Trotter, but there is one thing to remember......we had a rookie D-Coordinater with a system that obviously didn't work at the NFL level.

I think the main reason why we're getting rid of him is first, his cap number is high and second coach Williams has said numerous times that he wants his defense to be "fast". He wants speed on D and and Trotter is slow as hell.


I hope we can at least get a 3rd rounder for him, but that's a long shot.

yeah that was the game I was talking about.
