Thanks for the daily round up HTTR

If you believe the rumors and the talking heads ("If" being the key word), it really seems that Flynn is not going to be an option for the Redskins.

While I agree that the ‘Skins probably are not Manning’s first choice, but I would think if we decided to sign him we would be able to upgrade the line with a FA guard, and a couple of picks in the draft.

It will be interesting if they go after Fletcher’s heir this year. If they do, I’d like to see them go after Acho or Cole.

I'm getting concerned that we won't be signing or drafting any starting interior linemen this year

I would think if we decided to sign him we would be able to upgrade the line with a FA guard, and a couple of picks in the draft.

They seem to be happy with Chester and I still think they like Lichtenstiegerdsfadfasdf4tGer enough to resign and keep him (assuming he is still healthy and fully recovered). It seems like the only thing they’ll get is IMO is a right tackle.

Why?

by SSBlitz on Feb 13, 2012 10:24 AM EST up reply actions

I've heard too many reports that they are satisfied with both Licht and Chester.

I also think Monty is coming back without question. To me, the only logical change is RT. Though, you never know, I’ve been wrong before about this team.

The injury that licht suffered is a particularly nasty one

that has effectively ended the careers of some of the players who suffer it. Even if they like licht, I would hope they learned from Kemoeatu and Jam that you need someone to be there if he doesnt get back to 100%

Washington Redskins Hold Special Place in Black History Month : Washington Redskins

Great point about how important Doug Williams was/is.

Important also to keep in mind the Redskins bad history under George Marshall and the refusal to integrate in the 60s. We were the last NFL team to do it, and did so only under pressure from the federal govt.
