Although I haven't heard anything about this before, Posluszny would be a good pick up for us. We could let Rocky walk, put Posluszny with Fletcher in the middle. That'd be a helluva tackling machine duo in the middle.

Yeah, exactly. I kept seeing that Cooley said Burress would be a fit, but no where does he ever say that.

Redskins misquoted in the press? Nooo...

SmootSmack · 06-26-2011, 06:06 PM

Title says he could go to Redskins, and article says Cooley thinks they need a big time receiver and Plax is someone who could do well. That's all, we're the only ones making the assumption the Redskins are going after Plax, and that somehow CC is confirming it

Just like we are looking for stories so are they looking for stories, nobody ever checks these writers they can misquote whoever and get away with it.

SmootSmack · 06-26-2011, 07:36 PM

What exactly was misquoted?

NYCskinfan82 · 06-26-2011, 07:43 PM

I beleive i was watching the NFL total access I forget who they were interviewing, they asked the player about such & such player he stated he was a good player could help his team. A few hours later he was quoted on several news stations that the player wanted such & such on his team. I might still have the show I DVR them I'll get back to you if I can get more precise.

NLC1054 · 06-26-2011, 08:05 PM

It's the wording of the title that's misleading.

"Cooley: Burress could go from prison to Redskins' roster" implies that at some point Cooley said he wanted Burress on the team. He didn't. He said we needed a playmaker at wide receiver. Now even though the question was specifically about Plax, Cooley was actually careful to not say something that would basically be him endorsing Plax.

Saying "if you're going to take a risk on a good player, he'd be the player to take a risk on" is not the same as Cooley saying Plax could end up with the Redskins. At all.

WHICH Roy Williams? The one that can't tackle or the one that can't catch?
