Pierce gone, Barrow Cut rumor (merged)

SKINSnCANES · 03-03-2005, 04:45 PM

Pierce is gone, and my dad just said they said on the Doc Walker show that Barrow is gone.

So what do you guys think now. I think we could get a steal on Kendrall Bell. The guy is freaking amazing, he just has had the injury bug. So if we can get him for a good price then it would be awesome.

jdlea · 03-03-2005, 04:48 PM

If they can get Kendrell Bell, they should definitely go after him. If he is healthy and seems like he could stay healthy they should go after him. He's better than Pierce.

I would rather see us take Hartwell if we can. He is going to show people how good he is without Ray Ray by his side.

offiss · 03-03-2005, 04:57 PM

I thought he signed with the G-men? I guess not, Bell can be the best MLB in the game if he stay's healthy, interesting that we would cut ties with Barrow the same day Pierce leaves? if we can get a reasonable contract with him perhap's incentive latent I would defiently take a chance on him, he has the potential to be that good no doubt!

Hold up. I think we should wait a bit before jumpimg to conclusions. It does not seem likely that we would release Barrow, our only other MLB, right after loosing Pierce to the Giants. That really makes no sense at all. We need to hear this from other sources before we start believing it.

brandon barnes is our other middle linebacker on the roster. and coach williams loves him. brandon used to play wr in high school and is very quick to the ball. we might just see more of him this year and not on the practice squad. might be another linebacker cinderella story

AndySkinUK · 03-03-2005, 05:22 PM

Id love to see Hartwell in a Skins uniform.

He is underrated cos he plays next to Lewis.

monk81 · 03-03-2005, 05:23 PM

This is BAD news............I guess Pierce didn't mean what he said about being a Redskin........

.......... I trust Coach Williams has a plan to replace him.......
IN COACH WILLIAMS I TRUST!

Barrow is a great player but he has a degenerative condition with his knee. It is not going to get any better, only worse if he keeps playing.
If he plays, it will be with discomfort and swelling. His days are numbered.
Kendrell Bell played in a 3-4 system. Big jump to MLB of 4-3.

Yea, I would have liked to see him stay but from what I've heard the Giants gave him alot more than we were willing to give up. Can't blame a guy for making what he can when your one hit away from being retired.

shallyshal · 03-03-2005, 06:05 PM

i want to see it official before i believe it... but...
bell has been injury prone for much of his career. he is also looking to sign a mega contract.
better to look at:
hartwell- almost made the raven's fans forget lewis when he was out
fields- similar to pierce. smart, mobile and tough
ruff- underrated player at san diego

as for barnes.. every time he was in, it seemed he got blown up taking on the blockers. better to give clifton smith, who is a true inside backer and weighs over 250, the chance at the position

if barrow is indeed gone, they already have the replacement in mind. he might even be onthe way to redskin park as we speak...

No, I think his actions, combined with what coach Gibbs has said, are 100% consistent to what has been said in the past.

He said that Washington was his first choice and he would give the Skins the chance to match any offer. Gibbs said they've gone as far as they can.

I don't really see where Pierce's actions are contradictory at all to his actions.

No different from the jump Ed Hartwell would have to make, he too was in the 3-4. Not to mention he played along side Ray Lewis.

Hey Guys Im new here, Ive been on this site a lot, maybe 20 times a day at work. I just saw that David Patten was supposed to visit Redskins Park today, dont quite know how to do the links but it was in the washington times. If Patten signs and we can keep coles or get moss, I think we would be set, Patten definitely has better hands then Gardner

welcome to the forum. I like us getting Patten he moves the sticks and knows how to win.

I'm sorry to see barrow go, I hope he's just a system linebacker like Trotter and then comes back when he get's released. Bell would be an upgrade, Hartwell is looking for a pay day. what about shifting Washington to middle and signing Ian Gold or something... Just a thought
