Uh, no. That's because if we all thought that way most of the posts of this entire community would be BS. And that would be sad because, right now, only about 49% of all our posts are BS. I'm not counting my own posts, of course, because I didn't want to raise the BS percentage above 50%.

He was definitely not great in Tampa, but keep in mind the scheme fit has a lot to do with that. I think given the teeny tiny price we're paying in both draft picks and guaranteed money, I think folks need to be reminded of the upside that comes from a guy getting out of a scheme that didn't fit him.

Will our scheme resemble San Fran's? Well it's one-gap, press corner, and aggressive. It's not too far off. So keep in mind what you could be getting:

[Schneed10]

If you think about what Goldson's good at, it's reading and reacting to plays in front of him, and laying dudes out with snot-bubbler hits. He's not a center-field angel like we had with Sean Taylor (who was simultaneously the best hitter we've ever had).

So Goldson's success with us will come down to our pass rush. If the QB has time and he's asked to cover deep then we'll get gashed some. But if we're in the QB's face with pressure (like we could be with Kerrigan + Fowler), then Goldson will be there to lay out punishing hits and force fumbles.

Coverage skills not so much, but tackling? Massive upgrade.

I'm not saying he's Revis but wasn't Revis cast off to the Bum Island while in Tampa? Some guys can't play that Tampa 2 System. It's just how it is. I like the move. He plays with an attitude and is physical. Even though he's caught a fine or two, hopefully it doesn't continue here. Hopefully it spreads to the rest of the defense. Mighty McCloughan of The Clan McClloughan is doing pretty good so far.

Sorry. I shall endeavor to reduce, not enhance, the BS quotient. I will also remember to use the sarcasm font when appropriate.

Guys you have to realize that we have a lot of experts on this site..to listen to some of them you would believe they were GM's at one point..the move was a good move..end of story..to argue this point proves you know nothing about football..What really scares me is using a top draft pick on a player that has never played in the NFL and expect that to work out every time. A proven NFL player that has reached pro bowl level in his career to replace some of the worse DB play i ever saw last year..yea right on guys ! we should have just sat still and did nothing ..The truth is no matter what the redskins do you will always have the experts doubt it..

Meh. Low cost, but I'm not expecting anything good either.

No way!! Conte sucks, He gets burnt a lot and is slow. We got the better end of the deal, another reason to be happy we didn't get Lovie as our coach.

A lot of 6th & 7th round guys dont make rosters, even if we get just 1 year from him, it was a solid deal.

Was it goat or cult that had a hard-on for lovie? One of them right now is typing somewhere how lovie just punked the skins with this trade...

Poor tackling by the defensive backfield has been driving me crazy for years. The fact that the new administration has added several good tacklers to our DB has my enthusiastic approval.

As you pointed out, more pressure on the QB would help our DB's a ton. Like you, I'd love to get a talented edge rusher in the draft. Fowler would fill the bill, IMHO.

Tom Brady was drafted in the sixth round. If we miss out on the next Tom Brady because we lost our six round pick on this trade so help me....[sarcasm]

If we make the playoffs, I think there ought to be a contingent of fans in Redskins jerseys and kilts with blue Braveheart facepaint shouting "Clan McCloughan." The Funbunch, the Smurfs, the Hogs, the Dirtbags, and now the Clan. Would be hilarious.

What is the sarcasm font?

Asking for no particular reason.
