Figured this merited its own thread

Ryan Plackemeier Is The Skins' New Punter - Redskins Insider

Lots of Seahawks flocking to Redskins Park today

Jamaican'Skin · 10-14-2008, 06:08 PM

Well he should be far more consistent than Brooks.

Years ago we were the Washington Jetskins, now we're turing into the Washington Redhawks

SFREDSKIN · 10-14-2008, 06:08 PM

And a new safety, Michael Green.

Ruhskins · 10-14-2008, 06:14 PM

Oh Durant Brooks, we hardly knew ye.

CA_Redskins · 10-14-2008, 06:16 PM

What a waste of a friggin' 6th round draft pick.

Thanks VC.

Bushead · 10-14-2008, 06:21 PM

Waste of a draft pick, Please. We've seen in the past 3rd and 4th rounders not make the roster or stay around for a year. They took a chance on what was suppose to be the best punter talent in the draft and it hasn't worked out so far.

Exactly! Its not the end of the world when a 6th round draft pick doesn't work out.

CA_Redskins · 10-14-2008, 06:27 PM

So you don't consider it a waste when the PUNTER we drafted doesn't make it half way through the season?

Hell, it was a waste to draft him, let alone draft and cut him.

You don't agree?

TheSmurfs22 · 10-14-2008, 06:28 PM

You got to wonder if Derek Frost isn't laughing his butt off.

Brooks will pan out in the long run, but he has a long way to go.

firstdown · 10-14-2008, 06:30 PM

Why did we sign this punter to a two year deal?

I have to disagree. Brooks most likely would've went undrafted and I thought he could've been had as an UDFA instead of spending a 6th rounder on him. If memory serves me right Brooks was the only punter drafted this year.

a waste...where's good ol' Chip L.

SFREDSKIN · 10-14-2008, 06:34 PM

This guy is a horse compared to Brooks. 6'3" 252Lbs and also a Ray Guy award winner in 2005. We'll see.

johnerotten · 10-14-2008, 06:36 PM

Considering it was in the 6th round, no. Think about it, how many 6th round picks pan out? Let alone punters?

Was it waste? Maybe.....but we hear about 6th rounders getting cut all the time.

When the Broncos spent a 3rd round pick on Maurice Clarett.....thats what you call a waste.
