The toast master!!

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

I just remember Porter baiting Manning in the SB, picking it off and sealing the game for New Orleans. Not sure what's been going on with him lately but I always liked this guy. I like guys that have man cover and ball skills. Seems like this is what type of defense we're going to have, blitz and man up on the corners. I like this move if he can get back to his old ways. Hopefully with a better pass rush this year he'll make more plays. Good signing here.

Can anyone find terms?

May the best player suit up, camp competition is a good thing.

Seems legit.

Tony P. is always on point.

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

To me it comes down to what's guaranteed. Now we have three guys at corner with ball skills. I like this move.

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

I kinda still want to add one more corner.

I hope the guarantee is room and board until September , and if he makes the team a small bonus... vet minimum

That's a steal, do you understand we just stole that guy.

We need to add a corner and a couple of safeties.

We're set at corner I think. Also, we have two guys that were drafted there in Rambo and Thomas. I have 0 confidence in Rambo as he showed that the NFL was just too big for him. Thomas is an interesting prospect and we need to see what he can do. I'd like us to sign one safety.

4 yrs 28 mil for tracy effing porter?

we've been penny pinching on everyone decent at positions of need but ... spend twenty eight million dollars on tracy effing porter.

im just assuming this is a joke.

we could have kept biggers for a slot corner or let crawford or one of the depth guys step in .... 28 million for a below average no 3 corner?

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

Nice, really wanted him back in 08 during the draft

lol you shouldnt have told me.

i would have whined and bitched and made a total embarrassment of myself for the next few hours.

i thought tony p was an industry nickname like pasta belly etc. i dont have twitter or facebook so when i hear random names implied as sources i just assume its some legit twitter source guy.

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

Chalk another one up for the pizza slinging twitter source

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

I feel like this move was made because their first options didn't pan out. I've never been very impressed by him but he has made some plays. I think he's a gambler in the mold of D.Hall. We'll see if this pans out.

Keim says he is signed as the third corner and is better at man than zone.

Burgundy Glasses On: Okay, that makes sense and seems to fit the scheme. Should be quality signing if we aren't relying on him to be the No.2 corner and Amerson steps up.

Burgundy Glasses Off: WTF? Tracy "2 steps behind you" Porter? Working on his 4th team in four years? Smells like desperation to me.

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

Porter or Biggers?

Give me Porter.

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

^I'll side with that...

..but laugh with this..

HAHA!

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

Wow. Oakland's pass defense last year was terrible - 5th most yards/pass attempt (7.9). We were tied with Atlanta and San Diego for slots 2-4 at 8.0.

I am sure it was not ALL Porter's fault, but ...

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

Didnt Biggers play safety mostly?

Ifso thenso.... We upgraded.....

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

We upgraded from Biggers - at least Porter makes some plays - but the margin of upgrade is not large.

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

Porter is actually really good at man coverage, just sucks in zone. Not the brightest and like has been said he is a gambler. Part of which explains why he is considered weak in zone bc he will jump the under routes constantly looking for the big play. But he is a definite upgrade over Biggers and is bigger and better than Josh Wilson IMO. But he would be solid at the Nickel at the least.

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

[quote=Mattyk;1063766]Porter or Biggers?

Ok, if those are the choices, then I agree. Pretty sad.

Revis is on his 3rd team in 3 years. So is Talib. Players move around in today's NFL. Not sure why everyone is so sour grapes about this. Porter seems like a more than capable 3rd corner to me.

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

Porter can cover the slot, which this team needs.

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

Porter isnt camp competition. Lol he was the lone bright spot in the raiders secondary he had a solid year last year. Similar to Halls, nobody expected him to play as well as he even did. And thats just the tail of his track record. Hes our #2 hes an upgrade from Josh Wilson imo once again we got better somewhere. Sheesh.. thats all i wanted to see, few improvements.. few improvements.

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

Ok i just wikipedia`d porter.. me n this guy share a birthday hes clutch fellas. Super clutch.

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

[quote=GTripp0012;1063805]Porter can cover the slot, which this team needs.[/quote]

Yep you hit the nail on the head. Porter can play in the slot or on the outside if needed. Remember Crawford is coming back from a injury so we may have to give him time to get back to full speed. Hey we have a lot of holes and it will not be fixed in 1 off season.

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

Has anybody been able to find the terms of his contract? I've been trying to find it everywhere... I'm interested to see what he got in relation to the other corners that were/areavailable.

I think a lot of people have forgotten about Crawford. I sure hope he fully recovers. He looked very promising in 2012.

No, Porter cant cover the outside.

Re: Redskins agree to terms with CB Tracy Porter
 

Porter is an excellent addition to our secondary......he's a sure upgrade over the often scorched Josh Wilson.....
