how bout short?

[PSUskinsfan11]

I read in a poll of the top 50 free agents that Short could be picked up. Also, I do not see Peirce filling the hole at lb very well. He never impressed in pre-season and only makes dumb mistakes on special teams. Short would be a much better fit.

I'd like to see Pierce get a shot too. Is he a free agent himself? I seem to recall that he might be, not sure.

:confused:

After that stunt in Dallas last season, when he gave the Cowpies a first down after forcing a field goal -- Pierce can carry his ass.

We cannot have linebackers with such limited intelligence on a Joe Gibbs coached team.

I'd forgotten about that......

I'm just wondering about how the Skins are going to make all these pieces fit. Like everyone else here, I just want free agency to start so we can find out. The suspense is killing me!!

That was inexperience. If you remember, the coaches didn't even know that rule at the time. This year's staff will undoubtedly be better teachers than Edwards and company. I can't really blame Pierce for that one.

By the way, you should check out ESPN's guide to Free agents if you haven't already.

It lets you look at them by position and gives scores and a summary rating for each. It's a pretty nice little tool.

Thanks for the links!

I would like to see Eric Barton of the Raiders in the Burgundy and Gold next season. He bought out the right to his contract and would be a major upgrade to Armstead because of his age

That's a fair point. However, it still speaks for boneheaded thinking on Pierce's part. Just after the game on the old site, someone else pointed out the fact that the Cowpies were inside the 5 yard line when they tried the field goal. The best outcome of a penalty if Pierce was able to draw them offsides would have been something like a 25 yard field goal instead of a 20 yarder.

That's just plain common sense. I won't disagree with you about the pathetic coaching last year, but stupid mistakes by players like Pierce was as much to blame as anything else.

Oh well, I'm tired of going back to last season anyway. This is a new year, and new season, and a new coach. Who cares about last year?

In regards to that penalty, I think its freaking rediculous that they got a 1st & 10 on that. I mean unsportsman like conduct, yea yea, but as long as its not physical, they need to lighten up. ( I forget what the actuall down and distance was so if its like 4th &2, then my point is void, but i thought it was pretty long)
