2006 Point & Laugh at the Redskins thread

This year i have come to realize that the salary cap means nothing to us. We piss players off because we have HUGE deals that are back loaded. I remember smoot wanted a contract that was front loaded and i was pissed because it was similar in numbers with the deal the vikings gave him. I was like it is only a little more. Now it is easy to see why he didn't come to us. We didn't give him a front loaded contract, and he being a vet here noticed that he needed a front loaded contract with this crazy ass front office. We just break all our deals when they reach a little passed the half way point. We force them to resign or we trade them. This makes us very few friends with players who get upset. Some players, like samuels, will redo their contracts to stay with the team.

And as the eagle fan said, whatever we lose in the draft we make up in FA. I mean lloyd, arch, ARE, Duckett, christian, and Carter. What is that? That is insane. That is in a year that we were going to be in "CAP HELL".

Now again just think of the 3rd and 1 where we need to convert and we put duckett and sellers in. The D is going to be scared out their minds. How can you stop that line with that backfield. How? Now sellers is the master of being elusive. Last year he would get open after a short block. Everyone packs the line thinking sellers is going to block and we and maybe we will get a ton of yards. I think this is a great move. Duckett isn't a great player but he does what he does very well. He is going to be behind sellers and that is a garanteed 3 yards if you need it. The amount of times we convert this year due to TJ and sellers is making this a great trade.

I say that betts is a lesser version of portis. Betts isn't huge. He is big but nothing that is going to bruise the defenders and knock them down. We need a back-up if portis goes down and that is betts greatest role on the team. He can do it. I think rock can do it too because he is quick and if you mix him up a bit with duckett or sellers he can do the job. I see us having 4 RBs with portis and duckett being 2 of them and one of the other two being on the p-squad. If portis is hurt we can take the guy off the p-squad and make portis inactive for the week.

Now it is a big battle
lumsden
rock
betts
white
nemo

for what i see as two spots, one on the team and one on the practice squad. I see white as gone but the other 4 have huge upsides to me. I like them all. Nemo is a brusier and i think we have no need for him after duckett so i see him gone(we all like nemo). Nemo can catch though but we see duckett is fast too. That leaves lumsden rock and betts for two spots. We could keep betts and rock and drop lumsden. If we decide to make up our 3rd we could try a trade for betts. Maybe rock can pull in a 4th if we are lucky.

I have no problem with lumsden and betts with lumsden on p-squad.

I see lumsden making the team if a decent trade is available for betts or rock with lumsden being on p-squad.

For the team i think the best 4 would be lumsden, betts, duckett, and portis.
