should we try and sign Grady Jackson?

I say add him if we dont have to ditch anyone on the d line...perhaps cut a WR, we have too many.

We've actually been better vs the run (4th overall in the NFL) than vs. the pass (8th in the NFL).

I like our young defensive tackles Montgomery and Golston. Don't muke it up by bringing in some old, out of shape and overpaid player that not going to address a need.

Not per play.

We're #2 against the pass, and #4 against the run when you divide the total yardage by the attempts.

I think having a two possession lead at half in 5 out of our 6 games has a lot to do with that.

I agree.

To me, Kedric Golston should only be a starter on a poor mans team, so I would look at the possibility of drafting or bringing in a very good DT over the next two years.

The DT situation is not nearly as dire as I originally thought. Neither is the DE situation, although I think teams are going to start exposing both Daniels and Carter in the running game soon.

no need to use the fatass term he is probably sensitive about his weight

like I said,I dont know the reasons,if it was for a bad attitude I guess pass,but being on the falcons could give you a bad attitude,he's an upgrade to what we have now and I'm for anybody{within reason} that can help our team out

It's easy to be ranked high in the running game when you are playing passing teams like Detroit, Philly, GB, etc.
I am impressed with our pass D....but just like in the offseason, I am still not sold on our Dline against the run yet.

Yes, Grady is older but if we lose a Dlineman, do we live with Golston again?
I just dont know.

I really don't think he's an upgrade to anyone we have now.

[skinsfan_nn]

If he's a RG or RT I'm all for it.....but he's not. NO!

Maybe something cap friendl like a 5 years deal starting around vet min. with performance bounuses making it worth 1.5 mil the first year. years 2-5 maybe a mil each year. We could use some bulk in the middle.

JLC just posted about this:

Redskins Insider

Apparently nobody picked up big Joe S.

[MTK]

I'd take back big Joe in a heartbeat over blubber-butt Grady Jackson. I just don't see where Jackson would fill a pressing need.

[GMScud]

He's 35, 350+lbs, a bad locker room guy, and his contract is too big. NO.

Looks like he could be heading to Jacksonville

[CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR]

well maybe we need a few guys with some fire. Because when you get your ass kicked like we did on sunday and dont do nothing about it. Shows this team has no heart.
