Who Stays; Who Goes? Defense

And Champ and Rashad Bauman both told me (off the record) that they learned nothing from Green, because he doesn't teach technique at all since he relied so much on his god given talents. He's like Magic Johnson, not capable of teaching what he can do. He spent a spring "coaching" Justin Tryon. How's that working out?

I think this sums up why I wouldn't want Green coaching our secondary. I don't think he would be an effective communicator to his guys, simply because his own experiences were a combo of unique talent and hard work. He wouldn't be working with a group of guys as talented as he was, and I don't think he can effectively communicate with his players the way a successful coach needs to.

he's also not a people person. he likes himself, and he's not too concerned about other people from what i've heard.

It really disgusts me that people seem to hate Doughty so much, the guy clearly shows nothing but heart out there on the field. I realize he should never line up at FS, but he is definitely one of those guys every team should have...someone that does whatever is asked of him and gives 150%.

As far as the question at hand, Golston has worn out his welcome, along with Rocky, Buchanon, and Barnes are the only for sure guys that need to go.

Franchise Laron Landry????

And most recently Jim Harbaugh been making a pretty big name for himself.

Almost all coaches play at some point. But admittedly not alot play after college.

Not a good idea IMO.

"Brian Orakpo: stays, unless we get a super awesome trade offer as outlined in other threads"


if this happens, I seriously will have second thoughts of acknowledging this organization as a legit NFL franchise. I am absolutely dumbfounded why this is even discussed or even thought of as a possible scenario. I will have serious reservations about rooting for this team if it gives away a possible serious playmaker on the defensive side of the ball. This guy commands respect from the offensive coord, and you have to account for him when he is on the field. Stupid to even think about it to be honest.

The front 7 is fine, but the secondary needs some serious work.

There's a good reason that fans are not front office personnel. Some of the 'trade speculation' put out on these boards is example #1.

Jim Haslett was a good linebacker for Buffalo in his day. So was Ron Rivera for the Bears. Dan Reeves was good QB way back in the day did pretty good as HC of Denver. There are some that have excelled at both levels.

Really, you think Adam Carriker is gone? Surely, he stays in my opinion.

I'll say it's a 50/50 and depends on training camp really and Jenkins health.

Speaking of Carriker, he just posted this on Tweeter:

"Adam Carriker
I wonder if I just played my last game as a Redskin?"

[12thMan]

Carriker literally just tweeted this:

@AdamCarriker: I wonder if I just played my last game as a Redskin?
