Taylor and Springs no show Commanders OTA's

[adamknite]

If I were Taylor I wouldn't show up until they drafted/signed some pass-rushers. The lack of pass-rush is making his career go down the tubes.

I think his lack of talent could also be a cause of that

not talent, brain capacity

it's like Skin fans, they're talented, they can string sentences together in replies and use the quote function, but they're still dumb as a bunch of rocks

being a brain-dead safety is a bad thing, just like being a brain-dead, Commander fan poster

My mistake, thanks for the correction lolZ

Funny, since Shawn and Sean have been regulars at the "non-voluntary" offseason workouts since January. They miss the one day that the media shows up, and it's a big deal.

That's not what the article quoted in the first post in this thread says... it clearly says that Sean has been down in Miami... it also says that Springs has been working out in Arizona...

So either you don't know what you're talking about, or you're willfully distorting the truth... which is it??

The article also points out that this is with Gibbs' permission, apparently he let his vets con him into working out on their own this offseason... can't wait to see how many of them take advantage of this indulgence by Gibbs and show up to training camp in less than top condition...

This is nothing less than a passive aggressive slap in the face to Gibbs, and a demonstration by Sean Taylor that he can do whatever he wants and the Commanders just have to eat it and smile (the sad part is that he's right). I feel kind of bad that a man with Gibbs' stature and reputation has to be routinely publicly humiliated by disrespectful punks like Brandon Lloyd and Sean Taylor. Things have changed since the 80's, haven't they Joe?

If Gibbs doesn't stand up to one of his malcontents soon (by "standing up", I mean cutting one of them), the inmates will continue running the asylum...

Nobody at Commanders Park is scared of Joe Gibbs, and that's a problem...

www.Commanders.com has posted videos of the offseason workouts since February. Shawn24 and Sean21 have been seen clearly in several of those videos. Yesterday was the first day of voluntary OTAs, both were absent. Different workouts.

I see your point 100%. I work for a large oil company, and am a manager. My younger employees tend to put in upwards of 60 hours per week because they see the relation to their hard work and organizational success. They are on fixed salary, with a requirement of 40 hours/week. I have times when I have to force them out the door, even if it means scheduling a happy hour for them, and my picking up the tab. I gladly do so, as I know that they have earned it.

Voluntary or not, I do feel that everyone should show up. In speaking with my employees about why they work so many hours, they say it has to do with fear. They don't want to be passed up for a promotion, or have the next person pick up a skill that they don't have. There are more guarantees where I work, as opposed to pro football. We've all seen multi-million dollar players get nixed at the drop of a dime in football. In my workplace, I've never had to fire anyone in 8 years of management. These players don't have any fear because they have their money in the bank, plain and simple.

Are you hiring??

Good thing Sean will atleast show up in shape unlike Roy, who will again come into camp overweight like always.

Leave it to a Commander troll to make stuff up to defend his pathetic team ....

Given that the article clearly says they've been down in Florida, I'm gonna need some links to those videos... I don't plan on wasting a whole bunch of time finding the alleged videos on that website...

IOW, this is the first ORGANIZED workouts the Skins have had... and a number of Skins are no-shows...

 

[superpunk]

How's a man to protect his ATVs from a thousand miles away?

Ba-dum-cha!

I wonder about Springs' decision to not show. Is it because of the trade rumors? Has he been ordered to stay away because they're working on a deal, and they want him rested up? Is it possible that he was really the force behind that ESPN tell-all on the Commanders defense for morons, and is protesting Williams'?

Taylor is expected - Springs is interesting.

He made them an offer they couldn't refuse

This is going to be a make or break year for Gibbs...

I think they have a pretty tough job ahead of them.

At least compared to the Cowboys I only see three areas where the Skins are superior:

OL
Safety
ILB

I would have to give Dallas the nod on:

WR
TE
QB
DL
OLB

I think it's a "push" at RB and CB.

Superior at Safety? I'd put that more as a "push" considering one of their safeties has never played an NFL down.

A push at RB? Be serious, man. They've got us beat, bad.

I'd give us the edge at CB, tho. Henry is better than Rogers, at least when he's healthy, and Newman is at least equal to Springs. Glenn is better than whoever they've got slotted at 3CB. They've brought in so many rejects, I've lost count.

Are you kidding there is no way Glenn is better than the great Fred Smoot. Just ask a Skins fan, they'll tell you all about it.

There could be a convincing argument made that the Skin's running backs were clearly superior BUT the numbers aren't that far apart and when you factor in the overall quality of the olines I think they are much closer than what you would initially believe. On top of that the Cowboy's 21 TD's on the ground vs. the Skins' 13 is very telling.

Naw, Springs is just so fragile these days that he gets hurt in a high wind, and the forecast was for breezy conditions...

The Skins don't have a better offensive line...

I would have to give Dallas the nod on:

WR
TE

I'd rate TE a push...

They have the better RBs, we have the better CBs...

Roy makes his weight. Taylor on the other hand doesn't make his tackles.

Are you hiring??

Sure, but the job wouldn't be in my department. My peers have numerous openings. These days, even with the price of oil being as high as it is, even an oil company has some revolving doors.

Feel free to PM me if you're in the market.
