No kidding. The bulk of Garcon's success last year came in three games against some really bad secondaries. His numbers in the other games are pretty pedestrian. I hope he can handle all the pressures of the spotlight, big contract, and Skins FA curse. Garcon & RGIII better put in a lot of extra time to build some chemistry.

As for Cooley, I think he's battling for a roster spot, if he doesn't show improvement from his last two injury-riddled seasons. I can't see them restructuring him if he's on the roster bubble.

Tanard Jackson Bucs FS has been cut, i think i would like to pick him up on a one or 2 year deal. despite his off the field troubles a few years back he is young and talented and better than any other safety on our roster and any of the others out there like madieu williams. im sure Raheem Morris has the best opinion on him out of anyone and will have a big impact on if we go after him

I thought he was cut for failing physical.

Maybe he was but he is still relatively young (26) and he also had his best seasons under Raheem Morris when Morris was TB's DB coach back in the day. I would bring him in, he can probably be had for cheap.

[los panda]

i like it, maybe all he needs is a fresh start. he did grow up in/near howard county

[theJBexperience]

He's really struggled the last two years, huh? I wonder how serious the shoulder injury is. He did have some good years with Raheem.

Drafted by Allen, plays FS, had his best years with R. Morris, 26 years old, and is from the area... Hopeful we can sign him

havent we had enough guys on the defensive side of the ball who cant pass physicals or frikkin endurance tests? Get young hungry guys from the draft, and coach em up.

Like Chris Horton?

There is nothing wrong with taking a look at FAs and create competition. In the end, we are pretty screwed at safety and having FAs and drafted rookies compete for it is not a bad idea.

Also, I am sure this has been repeated many times, but teams have different standards in terms of physicals. A player may fail a physical with one team and pass another's team physical the next week.

Besides, we have two people that should know Jackson very well. If they do sign him (probably for nothing) I am sure they know something about him that we don't. And if they don't, well then they definitely know something about him.

It wasn't Jackson's failed physical, but more of a falling out with management (according to Jackson) that led to him being cut. Remember he has been suspended 3 times for drugs, (19 games) but he'd still be an upgrade over what we have at FS right now.

Ya, thats just what we need, more 3 time drug offender addicts on our defense, brilliant. So instead of having half our offense going to Narcotics Anonymous, lets just bring the defense too!!!!!

Shiiiiiiit, give me doughty over that crap.

Yeah could be a touch call on Cooley. I don't think he brings the speed factor Mike/Kyle are looking for, but maybe if he's staying slimmer and fully healed we can still contribute. I mean what Cooley was always good at was finding open space downfield at that's still a lot of what Kyle's offense needs whether he's scheming for it specifically or not.

I didn't know that stuff about Garcon, but it doesn't surprise me. It's interesting that P Manning didn't take Garcon w/ him i.e. had Peyton made it clear he wanted Garcon w/ him any team would have said "Done...and done."

Doughty is ass, all he brings to the table is being a sure tackler, he is slow and always late on plays. Jackson is a pretty good playmaker, its not like this guy would be expensive and hopefully he has matured and cleaned his act up, people do that believe it or not. I say sign him to a one or two year deal he is still young and he is better than anything we have. I say still pick up a safety in the draft as well.

i hope they are forcing any of these offenders to go to na. na was mildly helpful for me

So , I guess the Haynesworth "training for NYC marathon " story is false ?
