[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1209829]Selfishly, I hope he gets it. This is probably one of the better teams for him to join because the Bama Boys we have here all seem to be about business and winning. If they can't rub off on him, maybe no one can at this point.[/quote]

Or it has the opposite effect and becomes a Bama frat party at Club Jay

Being saying the samething everyday for bout 4 years straight. Its cool to be overly sensitive and then to go faux outrage.

[quote=Irrefutable;1209809]per Ken Burgundy tweet;

Everyone has an opinion on the Reuben Foster claim. It's interesting to readit all. He likely doesn't play again in 2018. His contract runs through 2020. The "Alabama influence" may help. One thing is certain - the Skins can drop him quickly with no cap hit - if need be[/quote]

Agree. He isn't playing this year and is cheap. One thing I know is that if he cleans up his act and plays great nobody will care about his past. Winning is the ultimate deodorant.

Except Kaep. Because what he did is inexcusable. [emoji849]
I know he isnt AP or Foster, but we did sign butt fumble as a back up so....

IMO, the main reason the Skins (or any team for that matter) didn't consider Kaep is because he hasn't taken a snap in two years. He's been out of the league too long now.

Is RF any good? Seems like he was hurt all the time.

That excuse may fly now, but what about 6 months ago, or a year, or 18 months?

Thank you. This needs to be screamed in the face of anybody who gets up on their high horse.

If you still watch on Sundays, if you still buy tickets, if you still buy jerseys and hats, then how principled are you? You're not. You don't care if Reuben Foster beats women, not enough to turn off the TV on Sunday.

Get off the high horse or put your money where your mouth is.

Tremendous rookie season. PFF had him ranked amongst the highest rookie LBs. Very poor this year though, missing tons of tackles. PFF has him among the worst in missed tackles.

Sanchez was with the Bears last year. He didn't play in a game but he was on a team and practicing. Kaep wasn't.

Bottom line is Kaep turned himself into kryptonite. I'm not trying to say anything about the merits of his kneeling but teams just didn't want to be bothered with him and his protesting. Too much of a distraction from a player who wasn't enough of a superstar to make all the noise he brought with him worth it.

Foster is just better off leaving that woman the hell alone....I see nothing wrong at all with the Redskins claiming him....he hasn't been found guilty of anything yet....the legal part of it will play itself out...and justice will take its course either way....[/quote]

What I do know is there was only one NFL team that even spoke to the Tampa police inquiring as to what transpired for this latest domestic violence arrest. And that team was not the Redskins.

And I understand it is all 'alleged'. But in this instance, the victim had visibly 'alleged wounds' to include scratches and bruises.

Stunned at your stereotype. I assume you are single?

[quote=SolidSnake84;1209811]I'm glad you remember how bad the beatings Peterson dished out were. So many people forget about that now, i feel. Peterson wasn't providing discipline, he was committing assault on a tiny, small child. He beat the child to the extent that he had cuts and open wounds, probably permanent scarring. The wounds were to / around the child's genital area, as well as defensive wounds on the child's hands and face. That is beyond sick. He also has a "discipline" room where he hung all of his belts and switches on the wall, like a torture chamber. i believe we discussed this on the boards here when the news first broke, but here's the recap in case anyone has forgotten Peterson's abuse.

I'm ready to move on from him. Bibbs can get the job done and AP is showing his age. And just to show how stupid he is, after he almost went to jail and lost a year of his career, he admits he still whips his kids. SMH.

I still think it is fair to simply not want these people on our team though. It is like if our sons or daughters date someone we do not approve of. We don’t necessarily cut ties with them, but we can surely implore them not to.
And yes I love the Redskins as much as my own flesh and blood. Kidding not kidding.
