^ Awesome start a thread on it, I am sure plenty folks want to hear about your adventure!

We have to resign Brown. 2010 rules most likely means no Harris and no Joesph. Rumors also have the Buc's working out a long term deal with Joseph.

Well, just imagine if you will, there's a line at One Buccaneer Place for long-term contracts, big ole Roly Poly Penn, as in Donald, got his. Davin Joseph may get his, but there's Barrett Ruud standing there with his bowl and Mark Dominik is controlling the soup

Didn't feel like another thread lol, I hope we keep him and he really seemed Like he enjoyed his time in WSH. One thing I can say is JB thinks MS is a damn good football coach and liked DS also. I really couldn't ask him much though.

I got you covered. If it fails I'll take the heat.

The way I see it once Free Agency gets started we will sign VY to be our QB. We will give him limited plays until he learns the offense. Grossman or Beck will be the starter. In 2012 draft we will be able to get a good QB maybe Luck will fall to us because most teams that needed a QB picked a QB other than the bills, cardinals, & seahawks. We will release Grossman or Beck in 2012 and we will have VY starting for three years and then the QB we draft in 2012 will takeover. HTTR.

And saying that we're likely to take a step back doesn't make much sense to me. Consider:

- It will be hard to get QB play much worse that what we had last year. McNabb was awful, look at the numbers. When we put Grossman in we had a great deal more production per game. We also had a lot of turnovers, but McNabb wasn't great in that regard either.

- We haven't even gone through the free agency period yet. There are still plenty of impact players available. It seems silly to assume we're building through the draft now and thus precluding ourselves from building through free agency as well. In the end, the idea is to get Shanahan/Haslett type players, any way you can.

- The offensive line has not been upgraded personnel-wise (yet), but should get better regardless. Trent Williams is likely to grow in his second season and Jamaal Brown is likely to get healthier.

- Last year our only effective runner was Ryan Torain. But as we all know a team must have more than one effective runner (especially considering Torain is hurt so often). The rookies will make an immediate impact in the running game.

- Having a second capable saftety in Atogwe will make a big difference. And having a second pass rush threat will make a big difference.

I think our offense will get very aggressive. We'll be putting up crazy yards, and probably turning it over a lot. I don't think we'll make the playoffs but there's so many sources of potential improvement for the 'Skins.

Agreed. I don't expect a playoff season, but I do expect a more fun season watching a very young team grow and play aggressively.

I know it is only a rumor, but what is everyone's thought about Matt Hasselbeck coming to DC

I could be wrong but I thought we drafted Jenkins to play mostly DE?

If the Redskins win fewer than 6 games this year, then there would be good reason to heap a lot of scorn on Shanahan and company. The reason has nothing to do with whom he drafted or anything about the schemes or anything at all attached to roster creation.

If the Redsksins win fewer than 6 games this year there should be floggings at Redskins Park on the basis of the schedule.

The Redskins get to play the NFC West this year. There are no great teams in the NFC West; there are two bad teams and two mediocre teams there. That represents 4 games against less than fearsome opponents.

In addition, the Redskins get to play the Bills (when did that team last have a winning season) and the Panthers (or should I call them the Pantloads?) There are two more games against less than fearsome opponents.

The Skins have 6 games against mediocre to bad teams right there. If they end this season at 4-12 against that competition, somebody's head ought to roll.

With the way free agency is shaping up I group the QB's as follows.

"I will accept no less then a starting job." - Marc Bulger, Matt Hasselbeck,

"I better have a good chance of winning the starting job" - Alex Smith, Matt Leinart,

"I'll settle for a backup job, but a starting job would be nice" - Senneca Wallace, Matt Moore

"Can I haz job? Any j0b will be K." - Brady Quinn.

Hass has a hard time staying on the field because of health issues. For this reason I would prefer (gulp) to have Vince Young.

Shanny and Allen are trying to change the culture in Redskins organization and they are succeeding so far. Even Willie Parker said that Redskins organization didn't care about football, all players cared about was partying. The FO are trying to change that by bringing in young hard-working players (see Kerrigan, Hankerson, and etc..). That is what I care about the most.

I'm w/ you. Sure I'd love for the team to win 10 games next year. I'm ok winning 5 or 6 b/c I think we are heading in the right direction.

We already had 1 hasselbeck
