When he was talking to the players did he actualy name the players. The article was kind of fuzy on that.

It's probably just the idea of having core players. You can't really create a list if your Joe. But Im not Joe, so I will analyze your list.

Two flaws. Lavar is not a core player. Core players are not regularly in trouble with the coaches. And we don't often have too quantify the value of a core player. And Lavar makes to much for what he provides. Atleast, that's the argument. 3 years ago, he was the fan's core player. But not the coaches. And his situation has not improved.

And I don't know that Casey Rabach after one season is a "core" player. Just because he doesnt freak out every time Buge's uses the f*** word.

I agree with the others entirely. I would rather have core coaches though. Ya know. Guys you can count on to stick it out for a decade or two.

I would have to diagree on Lavar. if he was not a core player why such a hugh contract. (its not because the fans liked him three years ago) I agree with core coaches but half of our will be dead in a decade or two.

Two words....Ethan Albright

Tell me. Have you ever seen a thread here complaining about Albright? No. Why? Because he does his job and he does it well.

I second that. He's been perfect for five years. He's a cyborg. I was going to give him a shout-out during the playoff run but was afraid I would put the whammy on him. In fact, his low-profile appraoch has worked so well, I think we should try to avoid bringing him up unless it is absolutely necessary.

Wow, you'd leave Samuels out?

70Chip · 01-26-2006, 05:55 PM

Core players are not necessarily the stars. I would include Thrash and Cartwright based on past Gibbs statements.

Dana87 · 01-26-2006, 05:28 PM

My List is more than 15 Core players, because I believe there are:

Shawn Springs
Sean Taylor
Marcus Washington
Lavar Arrington
Joe Salavea
Cornelius Griffen
Philip Daniels
Carlos Rogers
Renaldo Wynn

Mark Brunell
Jason Campbell
Santana Moss
Chris Cooley
Clinton Portis
John Jansen
Chris Samuels
Randy Thomas
Casey Rabach
James Thrash
Mike Sellers

albright doesn't sign autographs. When he walked by the players lot and i yelled ethan ethan and he didn't even flinch. I continued to yell and some really hot lady came by and gave him a hug at which point i was like EEthha and stopped. Son of a bitch.

Rock is a core guy we ought to resign.

Jason72 · 01-26-2006, 10:49 PM

Offense:
Portis
Moss
Samuels
Jansen
Thomas
Cooley
Campbell
Rabach
Dockery

Defense
Washington
Springs
Griffin
Taylor
Marshall
Saleve'a
Rogers

Honorable mention to ST players Rock, Thrash, and Jimoh
Brunell and Daniels are a huge part of the team right now, but their time is getting short.

Perhaps it's due to people calling his name in the past only to teas him about wanting an autograph. I mean, how many people actually care for the autograph of a long snapper? This brings up the question of whether a long snapper should ever be eligible for hall of fame much less get in?

I understand where you are coming from about a long snapper being in the hall of Fame, but remember what happened to us back in 1999 in our divisonal playoff game against Tampa? His job is very critilcal to the game, especially when the game is on the line. I think that someday someone will see how important special teams are, and how on punt and field goals it all starts with the man snapping the ball.

Well, that is exactly what it is but i got my jersey signed by as many of the 2005 skins as i could and he isn't on it so i would like his autograph.
