Schefter: Archuleta traded to the Bears

[superpunk]

At this point I think I'd crack up if Archuleta failed his Bears physical.

Archuletta fails his physical...

riggo: "Well, at least we don't have to fill the void at personal punter protector due to Archuletta leaving. I admire the organization's commitment to ignoring the draft."

:laugh2:

"The way this FO drafts, a sixth wouldn't have made the team anyway. Now we at least know we have a solid backup, and now he knows GW's system. All it cost is $5,000,000 and it's Snyder's money anyway, so who cares what it cost.

So we've turned a 6th rounder who wouldn't have made the team into a good backup with a hot wife. Excellent move F.O."

Yeah, got that already. Where's your outrage? Is it so bad in Redskinsland that all you can feel is relief?

The outrage was when we signed him and let Ryan Clark sign with Pittsburgh for nothing. Then after the first few games when it was clear that AA couldn't cover a 3yr old girl. Then when, most likely, he mouthed off to a media source complaining about how sloppy the defensive coaching staff was. (speculation) Then when he sat the rest of the season on the bench behind the old man Vincent and the nobody Vernon Fox.

...and finally when it was clear we were stuck with him. Some folks are pissed that we let him go and blame GW for miss-using him. Seems valid, but you guys saw him on the field, he looked awful for us.

I didn't see much outrage over the AA signing, just the usual self-glorification, overration

I like your silver lining, sir.

That punter DOES need personal protection.

dude, that is bs.... here is just a miniscule example from ES board March of 2006

I am glad to see that we are going after a solid SS hitter for our D. Since supposedly talks with Clark are not going well and we don't know if Stoutimire will re-sign we need some safeties. Taylor's trial is coming up and the outcome is uncertain. It is good to see some new talent checking out Commanders Park. Do you guys like Adam? I think he is exactly what Gregg Williams wants. I think that he will fit nicely into GW's D. What are the chances we get him? Is he looking at other teams this week or today? Who would wear #31 him or Rock? Rock use to wear #40 and Adam wore #40 in college. So I guess he could wear #40. Anyway I like this aggressiveness of Gibbs. Let's build toward SB XLI.

I'm with you, I think Adam will fit amazingly into GW's scheme. I've only heard that two teams (Skins and Bears) are going after him.

I still think we need to draft another safety even if we do sign him just incase Taylor goes to jail so we have depth. That way the starters are Priouleau and Archuleta with depth from Rookie and another FA.

Archuleta = Pre-Injury Bowen, and I mean that in a very good way (my absolute favorite one-liner skins response…..brilliant)

look man i hate the thought of st going to jail and i hate negative talk....Hes not going to jail....lets just be positive.....AA will be a great pick up to PLAY with ST next year....

Archuleta would be a awsome pick up

No Adam Archuletta better not find a way to take Rock Cartwrights number becuase Rock Cartwright is awesome.

Though I hope we get Adam Archuletta.

Archuleta will give us a very lethal hitting duo back there. Going to see a lot of aligator arms when teams lineup against them.

Archuleta is far superior to Bowen, in all areas..

I am looking forward to signing Archuleta, though I would still like to keep Ryan Clark also. That would be a nice rotation with Archuleta, Taylor, Clark, and I guess Prioleau (I hope Stoutmire goes). Archuleta would provide us with a more dominant SS and let ST use more of his abilities all over the field.

Man this guy is the best safety on the Fa market and we could really use him!! He has been my keeper in my idp league and has speed and power . Get him signed today !! Him and St will be real special

Trust Gregg Williams...if we wants the guy, you know he is going to be special in this system.

If we get Arch. we would greatly help pass coverage....he is also a very good blizting safety. Interception wise....he could improve.

All round he is a great player, can't wait to have him.

The Skins would pick him up to play strong safety anyway. On the majority of plays, he's going to be a run-stopper (though hopefully the RBs never get to him), and he'll probably blitz a lot. He won't have to step up and cover as much as Taylor. I think this would be an important pickup because of our lack of a scary pass rush last year. The D-Line had their moments, but not enough of them. I loved to see the interior getting their hands up and knocking down passes, but I would have rather seen the quarterback on his back with the ball bouncing the other direction. If the Skins can manage to sign Carter and Archuleta, I think they'll have that scary type pass rush they've lacked for so long.

Archuleta would be a major pickup especially if the Commanders lose Clark. Also, AA is an upgrade over Clark. A hard-hitting safety duo of Archuleta and Taylor would be a vice nice thing to have.

All I got to say is Terry Glenn will not be willing to take the field 2x a year.
I can't wait for one of our safeties to collide with Plaxico.

Does anybody know if Archulleta has the mean streak that ST has? I mean is he going to b!+ch around the likes of TO every chance he gets or is he just gonna let his game do the talking?



Today I cried in joy.

Archuleta is going to be a fan favorite I see it already with big hits and causing trouble.

Riggo,

The BS is in relation to any Skins fan claiming outrage when you signed AA. There was no outrage in the signing of AA, maybe a few but the overall response in Deadskin land was jumping for joy over the greatest Duo to ever play safety together....

Oh and please help me with something....most of not all Skin fans think that lloydd "deserves" another year to prove himself...that you cant judge him after one year....why not the same respect for AA?

Man, that is my favorite show all time. It replaced seinfeld as the funniest show I have ever watched.

they play the reruns on hdnet on wednesday nights, it is fantastic.

David Cross's Tobias character is one of the greatest in tv history....

Fox cancels all the crap I watch though...

tell me about it - and Family Guy initially, too.

I didnt even see arrested development til it was over. there is a great site with archived tv shows, basically in a youtube environment, that you can watch pretty much any decent tv show's episodes. I love the thing.

hmmm...i cant really speak for randomc's, but i think if you take another look at his post, he was looking all of the mistakes of the front office in this debacle and in a retrospective way saying 'doh, what were they thinking?' in retrospect, seeing as clark, who we had, played well at times for pittsburgh and AA - the highest paid safety in the league- did not. and so on a so forth with the rest of his post recapping the moments when skins fans went with regards to everything AA this past season.

i'll be honest- i think there are a number of things that went into his failing here in dc, starting with springs and prioleau being hurt. its hard to believe the FO thought arch was going to be a cover safety when everyone knew he wasnt good at that. seems his role changed- and anyone can correct me on this if i'm wrong- when the skins lost 2 important players in the secondary before the opening kickoff was done.

taylor with his speed did well in coverage the previous year. arch was supposed to be good in run support. seemed like a good combo at the time, although i've always thought his contract was over the top- how could you not? so, with as much of a fiasco as the signing turned out to be, i can only guess that the injuries killed what they wanted to do with him, at least thats part of it.

as far as lloyd, i dunno why some are more eager to give him a second chance. they should have signed el and been done with it. at the time i was wondering why they got both. loved lloyds highlight catches and he put up ok but not great numbers with no qb and nothing around him, so i hoped for the best. what happened to him? probably had to do in part with the QBs adapting to a new system (another questionable move by the FO in changing the system) and brunells reluctance/inability to throw downfield. if they let him go, i cant say i'd be upset, but i'd love to see him show some of that athleticism.
