Redskins positional review: tight ends | John Keim
Better or worse than 2010: This one is tricky because tight end was all over the place. Fred Davis was better and explosive. But Chris Cooley was never healthy and therefore not the same threat. They combined for 98 catches and six touchdowns in 2010; 67 catches and three scores in 2011.

The 49ers had won eight games under Mike Singletary and with fellow ‘05 first-rounder Alex Smith. Both franchises, bastions of greatness in the 20th century, continued to struggle in the 21st. Then they diverged.

An NFL franchise overseas is a horrible idea.
I guess they just aren’t making enough money here in the US
That London game
(sorry UKSkin) is one of the worst thought out ideas the NFL has had. First of all, It totally disrupts a team mid season. But, more important, it takes a home game away from a team every year. Not only does that have competitive ramifications, but it robs the fans of one of the 8 games they get to see. Goodell is such an a$$hole, he has no regard whatsoever for NFL fans.
Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
I agree with you about Goodell and I don't like the London game.
But at the same time complaining about fans being “robbed” of a home game, I don’t agree with. Look at the home teams for the series Dolphins, Bucs (x2), Saints, 49ers. I think with the team selection, lately, they are finding teams that are floundering in home attendance.

That's a good point
Though it would make more sense to just have Jacksonville play there every year. But, still, that’s Goodell worrying most about the bottom line. I understand, in the end, that’s his job. But I still have a problem with him taking the US fanbase for granted. The biggest joke is that they hold “local” cities for ransom for having dilapidated stadiums, then fly two teams overseas to play on a minefield.

The 1 game a year is fair enough as it's all about the $ in the end
but a London franchise could never work. Of all the current fans I know not one of them would switch to supporting a new team.
It would only take a year for attendances to start struggling.
Few things
- Forget Rackers, why the hell didn’t we go after David Akers?
- I would trade both of our tight ends for either one of New England’s.
- I would be happy to never hear the word Zorn again.
- it burns me beyond belief to say this, but Eli Manning has become a hell of a quarterback.
- the 49ers give me hope. Now all we need to do is find another Harbaugh

Eli is better than Peyton IMO because Eli wins when it matters.

I'd like to remind everyone...
Ken continually predicted Packers would go undefeated and win the Super Bowl. I’m looking forward to the 6-pack today where he tries to get out of this. We’re all in agreement Giants are winning the Super Bowl, right?

I can definitely see
That playing out. They’re the most balanced team left, and Eli keeps getting better (ugh). There’s a good chance they could get revenge on the Ravens.

Me too
But I’m not particularly confident. The AFC game has me torn. I may have to too gfor Baltimore. I just can’t stomach Belicheck or Brady.

I actually hate the Giants more than Dallas.
I’m losing my mind watching them in the playoffs.
I’m just jealous though, they’re successful. They have had the same coach and same QB for a long time now, that will win you some games.
If only we could get a good QB here and something more than a rent-a-coach.
I see it as more cushion for the pushin'
Maybe you should change your name then.

Not really. the Giants-Redskins rivalry is much older than the Cowboys rivalry.

Sure, but
Not as heated. Im sure Sam Huff agrees with you, when he’s lucid.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not judging. A bunch of my cousins feel the same way, but they’re all in their twenties.
Truthfully, we don’t really have a rivalry with anyone right now. The closest thing to it is between the owner and fans.

as long as the G-Men continue to play teams that...
hurt themselves trip over themselves, give the ball to the Midgets and give the game over to the Midgets, the Midgets can win it all.

Nails in the Packers’ coffin in that game, in my opinion, were the hail Mary, and going for it on missing on the 4th and 5.

The Giants revival stems from the two-headed running game in my opinion.
San Fran can shut them down.

The Patriots will defeat them this time as the Giants will be favored.

that Greg Jennings fumble call was beyond belief. How is that ref employed?

That ref crew will not be seeing another playoff game for awhile.

The Depth Chart Article
Claims we are likely to cut Cooley. Does that sound ridiculous to anyone else? Or am I just too set on this guy being a Skin for life?
How did you get that we are "likely" to cut Cooley out of "there's a chance he's cut"?
Chris Cooley is signed for another two seasons, but is clearly No. 2 on the depth chart and there’s a chance he’s cut loose.

Cooley said himself he will not be getting cut
His knee already feels good and his contract is cheap since it was front-loaded (like all our contracts pre Bruce Allen)

He’s been saying that for two years. But I don’t see him getting cut regardless of what happens with Davis. That knucklehead is such a wild card right now, they’ll keep CC for insurance at least.

I don't think he's going to get cut
but he has to restructure his deal. His salary Cap hit is $6.2 million next year, and that is pricey for even a non elite starting TE, much less a probably number 2 TE coming off an injury filled year.

but he's a leader!
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
actually i do think he is somewhat of a leader
he might not be a leader in the Fletcher/Manning/Polumalu sense. But I think Cooley is a good secondary leader on this team. Be it with hanging out with players and bringing them together, or helping organize the offseason workouts this past season with Fletcher (and being there, unlike some other prominent Redskins).
Now I don’t think that alone keeps him in B&G, but it helps and if he’s willing to trim some money off his cap number, it is better to have him around at a lower rate, than cut him and still have him count for $4 million against the cap.

I guess I'll start the daily "What the F-ck to do about the QB" discussion.
http://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/jay-cutler-1.html
But here are Jay Cutler’s college stats. They’re not particularly impressive, but he didn’t have a good team around him, kind of like Foles in Arizona.
I see it as more cushion for the pushin'
So are you saying you wanna draft Cutler,
Or take Foles in the first?
Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
What I'm saying is that Shanny might look at a lot more than a 70% completion rate, 1,000 TDs and a billion yards.
I might consider taking Foles in the first.
I see it as more cushion for the pushin'
Admittedly
I don’t know much about Foles, except that he looks a little too much like Napolean Dynamite.
Personally, I’d take the guy with the 1000 TD’s and a billion yards.
Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
Foles is the guy I've been saying since last year.
And I mean that as in “draft time last April” as the guy who it looked like Shanny should target if he couldn’t pull off getting one of the top players, and even if he could if he could trade down and get enough value. Foles is the right type of QB for Shanny’s offense, high percentage type of QB who has played well in less than ideal circumstances… this was Foles best supporting offensive cast this year of his college career, and he was putting up those numbers BEFORE this year.
No Danny, Nooooooo - Tom Landry, 1982., and Washington Redskins fans, 1999-
hmmm
Grubbs is 27 and he was a rock at left guard for four seasons before he missed six games with an injury this season.
Lets pillage as many of these types as we can. I think we need to lavish the line with attention this offseason.

I like Grubbs because the name is similar to Grimm

Resting Kerrigan
I think Kerrigan is a stud, but I agree that some rest could do well for him…also Jackson seems to do really well in his limited playing time.
This is the daily slop
So I will take my swing here
So how many elite quarterbacks won this weekend?
In every one of those games, the more complete team won regardless of who was quarterback (Denver/New England a likely exception)
It was argued on a thread here all week that elite quarterback trumps better team ad nausea… that didn’t seem to be proven at all.
If there is a good quarterback at number six then by all means, we take him; but for the love of God, please do not advocate trading up for any one player when there are so many positions that need starter quality players on this team.
The world looks mighty different when you're peeking out your belly button
I was happy to see some of the more balanced teams win out
It must have pissed goodell off to no end to see teams like the 49rs and Giants win. Look for more pass happy rules to come into play next year.
It is still a team sport though, regardless of how much they keep trying to turn it into a pure offensive sport.
Trading up, probably wont happen unless Bruce negotiates an awesome deal. Maybe he swaps firsts and give the other teams gm a box of cubans.
