Commanders Philip Daniels carted off field w/torn ACL...done for year

[Bob Sacamano]

I don't know whats in the water up in Germantown, but would you like to ship some of that down to me? I would love to tell the future.

Jason Taylor wants to get into broadcasting.

Ahh, those were words out of Taylors mouth that he wanted to play just 1 more year.. He told his own future... By the way, the water is good here in Germantown though..

That was on a 1-15 miami team. I think most players over 30 would want to retire after a 1-15 year

Call me crazy, but I have a feeling your new boy JT is going to be replaying those same thoughts this December.

Fred Smoot must be jumping up and down right now

Can't. He's got a bad ankle...

SMOOT GETS HURT, TOO

They say bad things happen in threes. (And whoever the “they” is that came up with that one should go to hell. Three times.)

In Washington, it has proven to be true, at least for today. With defensive ends Phillip Daniels and Alex Buzbee already injured, cornerback Fred Smoot has suffered an apparent foot or ankle injury.

Smoot was “walking gingerly” after the injury.

Ouch... if this keeps up the Deadskins aren't going to have a team on opening day.

Too bad we don't have any aging CBs on our roster to offer while the skins still have draft picks next year :laugh2:

I believe that fact has been well established for some time now.

 

[AsthmaField]

Well, that should make Jason happy. I bet Zorn never lets Taylor walk into a room without saying hello in a friendly tone.

JT can't have anyone dissin' him.

That kind of mental toughness will fit right in at Commanders Park.

Um... none of those guys would be starters on the 2008 Dallas Cowboys.

We rid ourselves of a large amount of cap space moving those players (especially Ferguson and Ayodele), players who would NOT crack our starting lineup.

The need for Ayodele (one of our very worst defensive starters in 2007, and a guy who would NOT see time as a backup on the nickel or dime) is minimized with the Zach Thomas acquisition, and the need for Ferguson is non-existent with the emergence of Jay Ratliff and the potential of Tank Johnson (who we are paying pennies for).

Ferguson likely wouldn't even be our 2nd string NT if he were here, and look how much he is due to make in 2008.

The trades worked out beautifully for both the Dolphins AND the Cowboys, unless if you think it's a GREAT idea to pay a bunch of money to backups who will hardly ever see the field...

But it's not surprising that casual fans would look at it and simply see the names switching teams, and think, "They screwed us!!!"

Finally, someone who understands those two trades. We got rid of three bodies we didn't need/want that didnt' fit into our plans. More importantly, we got rid of their salaries and cleared up cap space.

 

[BourbonBalz]

I didn't say they would be.



We also weakened ourselves in two areas in terms of depth. We got what we could for both players and saved cap space. But we didn't get value or come out ahead. They did.



Zach Thomas has to prove to me he can play a whole season. I am very far from fond of Ayodele. I was scratching my head about him when most of you were applauding the signing two years ago. But he's still quality depth. Better than what we have right now, which is nothing.



No, casual fans think we got away ahead because we lopped off cap dollars or got close to value for all three players.

Three starters for fourth and sixth round choices is robbery. Or at the very least a friendly and healthy discount.

Continue judging singing contests, because you don't know squat about the trades we made. We got rid of players (salaries) that wouldn't contribute this year and that didn't fit into our schemes since Parcells left. Just accept it and quit licking Parcell's balls.

Well I think its safe to hold your breath til the next Commander injury.

 

[skinfan2k]

Dude, do what you feel. Whatever makes you happy and allows you to cope with the fact that your frtofc is the joke of the league and your team SUCKS and is projected to finish DEAD LAST by every analyst and NFL publication out there for 2008. Do what makes you feel better!!!

those same analyst that thought the patriots were gonna win the superbowl, the chargers would be bad with norv.

 

[Boysboy]

As much as I hate the Skins, just hearing about injuries is the MOST GUTWRENCHING thing for ANY fan, regardless of the team.

I'd like to know-HOW can someone tear up their knee in NON-contact practices?!?

 

[TOOMBS]

this whole ordeal is a giant LOL


edit* I have so much to say about this but will save for a special moment

learning how to rush the passer

It is unfortunate that Rob Petitti wasn't there to help him out.
