Daily Slop : Will the Redskins draft a cornerback at No. 6; Fred Smoot Speaks on Tebow, Griffin III and Rex Grossman

Tyler Wilson Returning to Arkansas

Where will QB carousel stop for the Redskins? - Washington Times
You can't pay too much attention to the quarterback position in the NFL (though the Washington Redskins have been ignoring this axiom for the past year). Until you find a bona fide QB, you can forget about hoisting any Lombardi trophies, forget about making any history — the good kind, at least. In fact, until you find a bona fide QB, you're pretty much roadkill for all the teams that have found bona fide QBs.

Self-described ‘Redskin For Life’ tells me who the Redskins should draft, and whether you should root for the Ravens.

Redskins positional review: running backs | John Keim | NFL | Washington Examiner
Better or worse than 2010: Better. Last season Clinton Portis couldn’t stay healthy and though Ryan Torain appeared to end strong, there was little to no depth. Now they have two rookies in Evan Royster and Roy Helu who, at the least, add solid depth.

On Special Teams, Kick Coverage Stood Out
"We watch every special teams play as a team to let our players know how important those plays are," Shanahan said. "[They are] usually the difference in winning and losing."

Will the Redskins draft a cornerback at No. 6?
Two well-known draft analysts have the Redskins taking different cornerbacks with the sixth draft pick. Is this a good idea?

Redskins might be wise to keep, not trade, picks
If the Redskins' 2011 class is any indication, they might be inclined to keep their picks and not trade them for a quarterback.

If that happens i will be happy

You would be mad if we got one of the top 4 players in the draft?

Those two positions are far from our biggest need but both are so good that it would be worth it.

I've got some good news for you then, iH8

I was reading some posts on thewarpath.net and someone had an interesting tidbit they learned from one of their sources: Shanahan is willing to trade two firsts and a third to move up for RG3.

Perhaps this news will stop you tears and save some wear and tear on the crotch of your Taylor Lautner body pillow

Daly is actually a huge Cowboys fan. He went to Arkansas so he is friends with Jurrah.

I wonder with the new CBA rules

just how much learning our younger players can get in…sounds like they can’t do football related drills until mid April…I wonder if they’re allowed to have class room study prior to April as well…this will be an important offseason for us I think, whether through acquiring talent or making the talent we already have better

As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.

I was listening to the radio this morning, and I apologize I forget who the guest was but...

It was a guy with close ties to the Manning family and he said Peyton would not go to any team anywhere close to Eli, especially not in the same division.

I would say look at San Francisco and how they lose this weekend.

If Smith stinks up the joint and they lose then i suspect we will hear lots of talk about Manning going to the Niners.

My gut tells me we've seen the last of Peyton

There are some rumors he’d be interested in going to Arizona. What would be really cool, but obviously won’t happen b/c of Brees, is if the Saints needed a QB, Peyton could end his career in his “hometown”

Regarding San Fran, I really think Peyton prefers a controlled environment, so I don’t know if he’d be interested in going to an outdoors team, with a crappy field and facilities.

If i had to bet i would put money on retirement

You are probably right about the field conditions in San Francisco but to me that is the only team where Peyton could realistically come in and have a SuperBowl contender in the 2 years or so he has left in the league.

My gut concurs with your gut

I think this is such a serious injury, I’m not certain he play again, and if he does, I have a feeling he’ll be quite fragile out there (that being said I would love to see him continue playing so long as he is healthy, he just brings so much to the game in general)

and when you said anywhere close to Eli, that makes me think he wouldn’t go to the Jets either, because its the same market

As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.

Peyton Manning is done

Do you have any idea how desperate you have to be to play around with stem cells?
Granted, money is not an issue for Peyton Manning but, stem cell therapy is an extremely risky procedure at this time.
Don’t ask me how I know, but I do.
When I saw that he had elected to do this, I knew that his neck was beyond repair… if he ever plays again it truly will be a small miracle

if our kicker can play through 2 broken bones in his back. i think manning can come back after a succesful surgery

And the third is a total Hail Mary. He is still awaiting a successful surgery

However after two seasons the media (if we can call contemporary sports writers that) still associates the Redskins with this type of activity.

It’s irresponsible what sports “journalists” do.

you mean like trading for McNabb? or Resigning Brown for way over value?

by Steve Shoup on Jan 13, 2012 2:09 PM EST up reply actions

every team swings and misses with free agents and trades

historically we just did so more than other teams and in a much more ridiculous way…while this regime has made its mistakes (although they could have been worse, say a first round pick for mcnabb, or a poorly structured/high guaranteed money contract for brown), we are no where near operating like we once were…I think his point is that the media types are still pigeon-holing us into pre-shanahan ways even though lately we are operating in a more traditional manner

McNabb

deal should have never hapened. I often wonder were we would be as team if we kept Campbell and had traded down instead taking Williams that first season. I think ultimitely, if shanny has not turned the team around by 2013 and is fired, he will look back at the McNabb deal as his undoing.

The Brown deal I had supported, and it turned out to be a disaster-but at least there was a little bit of logic behind it. I wonder if we would have resigned him if their was no lock out.
