Most of the good 3-4 teams do NT by committee they carry atleast 3 NT's. Neild, Joe Joseph & Ian Williams I know they are all young but their full of energy.

Also, if the Redskins spend money on a young guard like Yanda, I wouldn't mind.

Is it just me or is a lot of Football writing becoming very b*tchy nowadays? Maybe is the effect of the lockout

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agent Rumors and Reports Thread

He does at least acknowledge in the past it was a case of signing the wrong guys, and guys like Asomugha, Holmes, Jenkins, Cofield and Yanda aren't high risk players. And he does give the draft some credit too. But yeah overall I agree with there's a bitchy tone. Seems like a lot of writers go that route these days. I guess that's what sells.

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agent Rumors and Reports Thread

^ The article is not that bad. I think the past/truth is a little hard to swallow for some.
The fact is Snyder/Ceratto did make those bad decisions and the Haynesworth/Mcnabb mistakes were not to long ago. They are still on the team.
Non-Redskins football fans and the press don't give full credit to the fact Allen/Shanahan now run this team. Not Ceratto/Snyder. Some see 6-10 from last year and Snyder and think not much has changed. Things have changed, but it will take winning on the field to prove to them.
Winning cures everything, especially in this case.

He was the one whose stock dropped coming out of college with reports of him having stress fractures in his lower legs. Has he proved to be healthy? Does he fit into the scheme? If so, why not?

Not for a high price tag. Otherwise, why not.

Was a DT in the 4-3, would be a DE in the 3-4.
