This hurts them cause their Dline wasn't very good with him, its gonna be terrible without him. And just think, they took 3 recievers with their first 3 picks in the draft. Who's idea was that?

Gee... hard to believe that if you rely on an injury prone 36 year old and ignore a replacement that you might actually be in this situation.

Way to go moron Commanders. Good job wasting 3 picks on recievers in the 2nd round.

They are going to be desperate for a LDE.

What do you think they would give for Spears for right now?

I'm thinking a 1st round pick.

Spears would play inside in a 4-3....and there is no way in hell we get a 1st for him.

I like that idea.

Besides, not like we have to worry about facing him twice a year.

I'd want at least a first rounder and a 3rd rounder in 09. After all we giving up a legit start DE and sacrificing him to play with another division opponent. I might consider a 4th instead of a 3rd if we have a choice as to which rookie WR we can have off their roster. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Spears could play strong side DE in a 4-3. It's not that much different than a 3-4 DE. He would typically line up with the RT and TE on him and have to hold ground as the running game headed to him.

And as far as the 1st round pick goes, I wouldn't trade him to a division rival for less. Especially when that division rival is being run by a MORON like Snyder who gives away draft picks as if they are bags of chips and is desperate.

This is the idiot who gave up a 3rd for TJ Duckett and 2 2nds for Brandon Lloyd. We could get a 1st for Spears out of him.

This conversation is blasphemy. We all know the punishment for such a sin.

DANIELS OUT WITH KNEE INJURY

Posted by Mike Florio on July 20, 2008, 11:22 a.m.

Commanders defensive end Phillip Daniels hyperextended a knee on the first play of 7-on-7 drills. He was carted off the field and an MRI is being conducted.

Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post reports that Daniels, a 35-year-old starter, “looked bad” as he was leaving the practice field.

Previously, the Commanders had expressed no interest in Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor. If Daniels is out for an extended period of time, the ‘Skins might have to re-think their position.

IT BEGINS, FINALLY

The offseason is officially over.

The Washington Commanders gathered on Saturday afternoon for a team meeting, and on Sunday morning they’ll be the first NFL team to have a real, live training camp practice in 2008.

Coach Jim Zorn said on Saturday that morning practices will be “heavy,” with players typically in full pads. The afternoon sessions will be less intense, and on some days veterans will practice only once per day.

“You will see some days will be a morning practice and a special teams practice in the afternoon,” Zorn said. “There won’t be anything else but special teams.”

Still, the experience will be more intense than the camps under Joe Gibbs, with more contact.

“I think our lines — they’ll have physical contact every day,” Zorn said. ”Our running backs and our linebackers [will have contact]. Even our defensive backs and receivers have to learn how to block or shed blockers downfield.

“It’s the live contact, where you’re taking a guy to the ground and leaving your feet — we have to watch that [to avoid injuries].”

Because of extensive offseason practices, which entail plenty of contact in T-shirts and shorts, training camp for most if not all teams generally isn’t the same grueling, physical hardship that it has been in past years.

Still, it can turn serious. Seven years ago, Vikings tackle Korey Stringer died due to practice in intense summer heat.

That sucks.

Reminds me of the LeCharles Bentley thing all over again.

I hate the Skins, but I hate injuries even more.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Sorry to hear that, hope it's not severe...

And just think, with their first 3 picks in the draft, they took 3 recievers knowing that their Oline was old and hurt all the time and their Dline has absolutely ZERO pass rush.. Their frtofc is a complete JOKE...

This is weird. Here's ESPN headline:

Sources: Skins DE Daniels done, Taylor on radar

But when you click on the story, it doesn't mention Jason Taylor at all.

When was the last time you checked the article?

Commanders defensive end Phillip Daniels suffered an injury Sunday to his anterior cruciate knee ligament, according to a source, a potentially season-ending injury that could lead to Jason Taylor coming to Washington.

I find it funny (funny/strange, not ha ha) that almost every Foreskin fan on ES has posted that we won't go anywhere this year because we are due for the injury bug to bite us. Then they sustain a potentially serious injury on the first day of training camp. Irony? I never, ever want to see any player hurt, but I actually think many Foreskin fans silently hope our players will sustain injuries. Jealous much?

 

[ajk23az]

And the injuries for the old, fragile Skins' begins..

 

[theebs]

that sucks for them.

I wonder how dealings with cerrato/snyder and parcells would go.

Parcells has called that franchise out many times because of snyders meddling ways. I bet that snyder remembers all that too, the moron that he is.

If they did get jason taylor they then become a better team if he still wants to play football.

 

[Skinsmaniac]

One player doesn't make a team, and while fans (including me) constantly use injuries as an excuse, hopefully the team realizes that you just have to play with who you have available.

I thought the Fred Davis pick was extremely strange and would have been happy with a DE there, but I'm not going to complain if he was their highest rated player because I think it's best to look longterm and not what today's needs are.
