You gotta get to the one first!

Troy Williamson does look like he could be a big time player. He dominated top opposition corners and has super speed. I would be real happy to draft him at #9. We need speed.

Taylor Jacobs has speed and he's gotten some seasoning - I think he very well may be a star player before long in this league. He seems to have a real good attitude and had great success at a big time program in college. We have a winner here I believe.

James Thrash provides speed and real leadership and he is a powerful spark plug for this team, not to mention an excellent special teams player. He is a great player to have and he sets a great tone.

If we could bring in a Derrick Mason and an Andre Davis that might be ideal. One of them would be good.

McCants I think is still just as likely to be released or traded as before. His attitude doesn't seem to fit in with the "all for one and one for all" approach needed in your foundation core of players.

Musin Muhammad's agent just lit up a big victory cigar because now the skins need two WRs and we know that Joe Gibbs puts a premium on veterans who are dedicated to football and conditioning and all that stuff.

Burris does not meet those tests. Porter may or may not meet those tests but Porter has not been a "true Redskin" type of guy in the Raiders' clubhouse. Even if the Skins decide to draft a WR, they need a solid vet and his client just went to the head of the class.

Ladies and gentlemen, the price of poker - to win the services of Mr,. Muhammed - just went up - - because now Danny Boy Snyder and his checkbook are in the game...

I doubt Muhammad - too old, too expensive. DOubt we could afford him if we wanted to.

I was hoping they would draft a DE, but if Coles & Gardner are gone, I guess a WR is likely

Let's still remember that our D was #3 and Phillip Daniels has yet to show how good he can be.

I don't see it happening either. He's looking for a monster payday.

TheMalcolmConnection · 02-21-2005, 03:41 PM

Honestly I don't think he's even CLOSE to as talented as the money he's wanting is suggesting that he is.

that is true, but daniels is in his thirties so i dont know how much more he can show really.

I know, but I would say to at least give him a chance since we spent some decent bucks on his in the off-season. I'd hate to see him sit the bench.

On a side note, my g/f and I just got a job down at VA Tech. She'll be in Biological Engineering and I'll be at VBI. If you're down, we should all get together for some beers and maybe show us around if you were cool with that.
