Roster Moves: Redskins Re-sign Phil Taylor
April 3, 2018
by Steve Thomas
The Redskins announced today that they have re-signed defensive lineman Phil Taylor Sr. Terms were not disclosed, although the Washington Post reported that the contract is a one year deal. Taylor himself also confirmed his signing on social media:
Blessed! 🦍🦍 #httr https://t.co/3nQTkEgafP
— Phil Taylor (@PhilTaylor98) April 3, 2018
Taylor, 6’3”, 343 lbs, was originally drafted in the 1st round of the 2011 NFL draft out of Baylor by the Cleveland Browns. He has played 44 games in his career, starting 42, all for the Browns, with 109 tackles, including 69 solo and 49 assisted tackles, and 7 sacks. Taylor also spent time with the Broncos in 2016.
Taylor came to the Redskins for the 2017 season, but suffered a torn quad muscle that forced the team to place him on injured reserve for the season. He re-joins a defensive line group that struggled last season but will see the return of last year’s first round draft choice, Jonathan Allen, from injury. In addition, the Redskins have recently been linked to a number of other free agent lineman.

Thanks
For some reason I didn’t think he had a good year in 17
What do I know
He got his diaphragm/lung/ribs fucked up. If we were horses, his flank. It’s a button, makes you think after an injury like that.
Normal recovery time to come back from the injuries he sustained were at least four weeks. He came back in two. Give the dude a break; he toughed that shit out, and of course he probably played a little less intensely/physically than he normally does because I’m it was quite painful.
Agreed.
Just because PFF says something doesn’t mean they know what they’re talking about.
C’mon man!
The question for me becomes if you drop back a bit can you still get impactful players who can start day 1
I think you can
Pats got Jordan Matthews for next to nothing. Why didn’t we take a chance?
Meh
Again and until the cows come home
Dead last in the entire league against the run
Wore out almo ran for 150 on us
Someone named Orleans Darkwa shredded us as well
But rb at 13??
Both of those guys are currently unsigned just so you know what the league thinks of them
Right and injured Foster and Allen didnt play any of those 4 games…not mistaken Ion missed a couple of those as well.
And Philly shredded the Pats for 6.1 yards a carry and 161 yards in the last NFL game.
Dont need cows. Healthy bulls.
AND we will have significant injuries again this year. You have to bank on having significant injuries (maybe not as much as last year, but they happen every year). So injuries are not an excuse for letting RB’s shred us.
Replied already below…
I think Perine will be fine as the lead back…of course have him earn it in TC but i think he’ll be fine.
Whomever the RB….blockers needed. Top G trumps DL by a mile.
…’its ok to run between the tackles’..
Well block coach.
top G will be gone at 13
They should run the 40 in pads and a ball in hand for RBs. Underwater Olympics just doesn’t translate very much.
Le’Veon Bell ran a 4.6….
Kalen Ballege is faster and 20 pounds heavier
Ron Jones ran a 4.66 at the combine
As slow as SPerine and 30 pounds lighter
SMDH
Folks have lost their minds
4.4 at pro day…but yes I’d pass. Either top shelf or wait til next year and shoot for Ridney Anderson
so perine weighs 2030 lbs?
He wears it well…..head like a 50lb watermelon

With less than three weeks to go until draft day, the chances are good that the #Redskins will go defense with their top pick. Who’s the favorite to go first? https://buff.ly/2qbRPns
James if there be my choice. Or Edmunds perhaps… Someone that changes the course of a game.
So would we all rather take an OG at 13, RB at 44 and not address the DL? Where are people at?
DL players around later.. but its one vs the other. Keep your 3.6 yd rushing avg and keep punting or roll and hold the ball like playoff teams and champs do.
I see folk talking CB at 13… I dont care who it is but sure hope Skins are thinking Impact vs correcting mistakes here.
Running Back faps
https://twitter.com/JReidDraftScout/status/982216546448695297?s=20
Hopefully not at 13
And hopefully not Jones
Right. I hate the mid-round of day one. I’d rather pick top ten or in the 20’s. Picking at 13 is like coming up $3 short for dinner on a date with the prom queen.
with 4 and maybe 5 qb’s selected before 13, we will have a shot at 1 or 2 of the top 10 picks, in essence
Hopefully, but you’re dependant on a QB run.
cleve qb
ginas 50% chance of qb, but may trade back
jets would not have spent all that draft capital if not for qb
cleve may trade back to someone who wants qb
I’m wondering what Baltimore is up to. They need to get ahead of Arizona.
I see both Balt and Buff as possible trade partners for that reason
Guice ALL day ! And a too shelf G. #TBT
Top shelf G at 44?
Probably not
Why not ?? Why probably not?? Can be done.
Top Guard
Nelson
Hernandez
Wynn
All will go in the first
That’s why
So there is only 3 ? No one drops ? Rouiller was a 6th that kicked Long to the curb… there is a Guard besides those 3 if they dont fall to 2nd or 3rd or 4th or 5th rd etc
..

That dude always sounded like he was on his 6th cigar of the day.
Should we take a look at Marquette King who’s an excellent punter released by the other Gruden? Dude is legit. 3rd in net yards…
I think he signed with Denver.
Shit.
He got a 3 year deal. He’s a douche anyway and I totally side with Gruden on how to treat a fucking punter.
Besides, we have a franchise punter!
I blame the pants

Heyyy….
Lol, ok…..Hope! Last Saturday
Actually, strong money is on it being wif.
I, on the other hand, would have knocked it cleanly into the lake and had to take a drop.
you can tell he’s a right-hander trying to hit lefty. he addresses the ball with the clubhead upside-down.
You remember this day?
Nailed it!
yes. even though i missed the ball, it counted as a swing, and as i fell in, my foot made the ball move, so that’s another stroke, plus the ball is basically where it was, except with a worse lie. i hit the next shot in to save par.
Because you were wet already, so you could stand in the water and hit right-handed! Well played sir Walter!

How bad is KFC? So bad it makes you want to drive a truck into the building
Three people were injured April 5 in Pinellas Park when a box truck crossed a median into oncoming traffic, struck a pickup truck head-on, then crashed into a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant building.
Pinellas Park Police said the crash occurred around 1:17 p.m. just off 66th Street, when the brakes on the box truck failed, causing the driver to lose control. The truck then jumped the curb, crossed three lanes of northbound traffic and hit the pickup truck.
That collision then sent the box truck into the facade of the KFC.
Steve did a Jon Snow cultural entertainment reference
I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here.
I enjoyed it.

Wow, peeps over there haven’t figured out the deal with Kirk yet.
I know . I don’t get it either .
I’m not gonna try, lol, fuck it.
That conversation has been over for weeks and its pretty clear .
There seem to be some new kids over there that are trying to wade through the negativity. They’re taking honest shots at picking players, talking football, ect.
I saw that .
We’ll have to blow them up sometime, ruffle some feathers
Walter is gearing up for a banner year.
MUCH, much more of a snow fan than a hurricane fan.
Weather in general. You’re getting some snow on Saturday.
Above average hurricane season predicted this year.
those seasonal predictions are mostly a joke. maybe 51% accurate….maybe. lots of chaos involved.

While I totally understand and empathize and sometimes get angry at what I see….people need to understand the law and what the supreme court says about policing.
I’ve always said people shouldn’t settle these civil suits out of court….go all the way. But I know it’s incredibly expensive and the odds are stacked against you, but all it takes is one case to go all the way.
Most of the ground-breaking Supreme Court civil rights cases are hand-picked by civil rights advocacy groups because they happen to fit the exact fact pattern that they’re looking for. But yes, pursue the lawsuit – that’s how you get justice.
I’ve been locked up before but that’s another story…LOL
I’ve been locked up and beaten by the federal government, but that’s also another story.
MPs?
SERE school, the B level school for aircrew. The C level is just classroom/online for everyone, barely training at all, and the A level is what they send special operations forces to – I didn’t go to that one.
Gotcha. I know an electrician that had a thing for going awol when he was in the Marine Corps, has some funny stories about MPs stomping his ass.
Oh, no, mine was training. Take everything you heard about what happened at Gitmo that certain people were outraged over, subtract the waterboarding, and that’s what they did to us.
I’m sure, they have to know what you’re made of, it’s not a ball game.
I sympathize with (most) cops. I am a public servant and I get cussed out all the time. I have to exercise restraint and maintain professionalism so I can only imagine a cope on patrol roll past a group of kids and they’re taunting the cops.
Yes, and that’s where I think that this outrage over the police by various groups in society is doing more harm than good. You can’t teach your kids that cops are the enemy and then be surprised when bad things happen as a result.
Anger and frustration play a part as well. I made that mistake a few times as a kid, and was handled accordingly.
Shouldn’t cops be held to a higher standard? Aren’t they trained to take a certain level of shit while focusing on their job?
Sure, in a perfect world. How ’bout that Boston PD? The Stateys?
A lot of cops are assholes because they deal with people who lie to them all day long
generally I’m nice to cops since so many family members have been in the profession
I’ve only been a dick to cops twice
once when one came to serve Mrs Noone a supeneoa at 630am and refused to ID himself, he got a gun in his face, he was not happy
and a traffic stop where the cop was being a dick first, I mentioned field supervisor and internal affairs, and the conversation went a whole different way at that point
been pulled over a bunch of times and only got two tickets, both speeding which they knocked down to 0-9 over cause I was such a nice guy and they could have stuck me with huge tickets
Yes, why not use your brain.
When I say this, I’m saying it without any ill will towards anyone….but the reality that you’re saying about “compliant” is just not realistic for SOME people, mostly people of color. Aggressive policing is real…Excessive force use among the poor and people of color is real.
There’s no doubt that’s true. Some cops are wannabe soldiers and cowboys with too little training and too much attitude.
But people need to be compliant. My point with all of this is that people who are stopped need to not argue, not mouth off, not scream about their rights, not question the stop, not yell about racism. Take the ticket, then fight the ticket later. If the car is searched illegally, sue the police and/or use it as a fruit of the poisonous tree defense at trial.
On the other hand, if you’re hiding something illegal, my sympathy level for you drops dramatically.
Agreed
And the other part of this is that it’s just a fact that serious crime happens to a much greater degree in, say, South Central Los Angeles than in, for example, McLean, VA, and I can understand why those LA cops are edgier than the McLean cops.
True story…
My girlfriend, now wife, left my house late one night. I followed her halfway home to ensure she was safe. We pulled up next to each other at a light. For some reason we both ran the red light. Cop in Montgomery county stops us both. I had on pajamas, no license, no shoes on. I was calm and explained the situation. My wife in her car was mouthing off…she got a fat ticket and I was told by the cop to tell her to keep her mouth shut next time.
Reality vs. ideology
That’s what I’m talking about – take the ticket, calmly, move on, even though it’s distasteful to do so.
I got a warning.
You an outlaw!
Similar situation with my wife arguing with two lesbian cops, federal cops on the parkway. It took some serious talking to get my warning after she fucked it all up.
Cops hear some verbal attacks from women , if PD live is anything like the rest of the country .
These cops were Ray-Ban scuba diving Chuck Norris wannabes
They do put up some shit though . Everybody lies right off the bat for one thing . Then there is the people that are drunk or stoned on meth . Dirty , nasty , stinkin people who haven’t bathed in forever .
Sure. My first ever felony stop was on 14th St. Washington DC, scared the fucking daylights outta me, and they weren’t fucking around. I didn’t do shit, but was in the wrong car. One stupid move, they’d have shot me.
Is that the street that once had all the strip bars , massage parlors , etc
Street walking hookers. Yeah
Yeah , I thought so . I went there once when I was eighteen . It was a culture shock . Never seen anything like that before or even since . I was a kid still . Wild .
Good place to get killed.
They’ve cleaned all that up now haven’t they ?
I think. So I’ve heard. Haven’t been over there in more than a decade.
Good Times
Philando Castile told the police officer he had a concealed carry permit. Did what he was told…
No charges.
I followed the Philando Castile case closely. The officer WAS charged, and it went to trial; the jury acquitted him.
I watched both videos (dashcam and the woman’s Facebook Live) and listened to the police audio.
In my judgment, based on that evidence, the reason the jury acquitted him is that there was insufficient evidence to prove that the officer’s act of shooting Mr. Castile wasn’t justified. There was no video showing Mr. Castile’s hands. The audio showed that the cop was a bit edgy, but under control, and then all of a sudden he got very alarmed and said something like “hands!” (can’t remember the wording now), and that’s when the shooting took place.
i.e., no evidence to show that Mr. Castile didn’t do something threatening with his hands. Just a case of cop testimony and woman testimony on that specific point; in that case, the jury verdict was reasonable.
Which is a classic case of benefit of the doubt for the police officer.
“based on the officer’s statement” is a powerful thing.
Yes, but as a broad societal point, isn’t that the right thing? A jury should have even faith in an officer’s testimony to lend it credibility absent contradicting evidence.
The woman’s Facebook Live video, as sad and powerful as it was, didn’t really contribute much to the case except to show that she was remarkably calm, to her credit.
So if you’re told, “just take your ticket and move on”…what if you’re tired of that? What if you want fair treatment. What if you PEACEFULLY protest? Why is that wrong?
First of all, I don’t know what you mean by “peacefully protest”. If you mean, march, MLK-style, at some point later, sure, absolutely, that’s the American way. If you mean to say, question what the cop is doing while in the midst of the incident, that’s a terrible idea 100% of the time. Take the ticket and then bring it to trial – that’s how to fight a specific incident the right way.
…and isn’t it the American way also to take a knee at the anthem. May not be agreeable to others but it’s peaceful and the right of every American citizen.
I very, very strongly disagree with, and am extremely offended by, the acts of Kaepernick, et al, in disrespecting the national anthem by kneeling, and I have chosen to never support them ever again. I boycotted over half the NFL season (except for the Redskins games, because of this site) because of it.
I’m pro law enforcement and understand that police officers have to go where the crime is. I also cannot imagine how hard being a police officer is.
BUT…when the use of lethal force is statistically more likely to happen to one group of people and has been so for decades, then there’s a problem.
So then you take the argument that most people that think, but don’t say…”well it’s that group that’s committing all the crimes”. Even if that was true, and it’s not, it’s still not carte blanche to kill.
People have to understand. Police officers, with good reason in some cases, have a wide range of judgement in the use of deadly force and for that reason, few cops are convicted of murder.
In my opinion a cop can pull you over anytime he chooses without cause . All he has to do is claim you crossed the yellow or white line a couple times . Nothing you can do about that . Once you’re pulled over , then they can most likely find drugs or run your name or whatever they can find . Not a deadly force scenario , just saying .
I guarantee they target certain areas , types of cars , tinted windows, type of passengers , etc.
Of course they do. That’s playing the odds. Throw crime-heavy neighborhoods into that as well.
I understand that
Way it is here, it’s up to you to skin out from under it.
exactly . famous for it here as well. After my son got in his trouble which was his own fault , they followed him often. Pulled him over twice , said he was swerving . He was all clear though . Learned from his mistakes
They sat in the church parking lot across the road from me and ran radar . when he left the house , they followed him. He didn’t get in trouble for drugs , or theft , nothing like that . I could have understood it if that was the case . He got in a fight and charged with a crime for it.
and they did this often.
Point being , they knew he was on probation and they were begging to catch him doing something illegal.
…and is that right?
IDK , seemed excessive to me but it’s kind of small town BS they do around here too. There’s crime but not murders , rapes, etc,
Certainly not
I’ve been on the other end of that, and the sad fact is that a large percentage of people on probation end up violating. I’ve helped send people to jail for it. I personally have no issue with the local police watching someone on probation more closely.
It’s a serious game, with serious consequences.
It’s a motherfucker if you get tagged.
Dude , they still follow him sometimes and all his legal shit is behind him. He’s clear with the state , judge , fines , all of it .
Might need to approach the Sheriff on neutral ground and have a “give the kid a chance” conversation.
He’s 26 , I’m done going to bat for him . I love him , but he’s on his own . I’ve been there and done it too many times . He’s on the right road, finally.
He, as a man, can have that conversation.
yes .
I’m not telling you anything I haven’t lived through myself. I know how the system works, outside and inside.
If the Sheriff is any kind of a man, he’ll consider what your son has to say, long as he does it respectfully in regards to the Sheriff’s position.
Understood , and I appreciate that . They had him walking a fine line , which he probably needed , but even the slightest mistake , judge was gonna put him in jail , for awhile . And he had a perfectly clean record prior to this mess .
That’s great news, outlaw life is overrated.
I bet it is .
Cold beans for lunch, lol
No thanks . He pulled weekends , so I got a small taste of it from the outside .
WHAT!!! “without cause”??? That’s unconstitutional and a violation of one’s civil rights. A police officer can’t just pull you over just cause he feels like it. And your scenario is quite real for some people.
again , you crossed the yellow line .
Ever tangled with deputies? I’m not being sarcastic.
Yes.
Did you use strategy?
It is unconstitutional, and it’s also reality. The correct thing to do in that situation is NOT to argue with the cop or question him about your constitutional rights; it’s to take your traffic ticket calmly and move on.
In almost every one of these high profile shooting cases that I’ve studied over the last few years, there appeared to be insufficient evidence to convict.
I know…coupled with Supreme Court backed excessive force cases.
And in many of the cases, the defendant/victim greatly escalated the situation.
Doesn’t mean they should have been killed.
ICYMI… http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2768386-rgiii-to-ravens-completes-the-nfls-dumbest-offseason-of-qb-signings
having watched LivePD for months now, it is amazing at the number of legal experts on search and seizure laws, constitutional law experts and privacy right experts that are driving around in the USA every single day
the only problem is that 99.99% of them don’t really understand jack about the law
best scene I saw was the lady cop who is also a lawyer started quoting legal statutes and case law when a person said she could not do what she was doing “legally”
the funny part was when the person said “they teach you all that in police school” and her response was “no law school, I’m actually a lawyer unlike you”
None of that prevents you from going to jail. That’s the part they don’t grasp.
The most important rules, coming from an attorney.
1) Do what the cop says to do while you’re being stopped, no matter how much of an idiot he may be
2) Don’t threaten, appear to threaten, or argue
You can sort out civil rights violations later, but not if you’re dead.
Exactly
So what is the police’s responsibility?
I’m just talking about how it is, from my experience in dealing with law enforcement. To speak bluntly about it, I’m behaving this way regardless of the charge, any advantage I can gain for myself is a positive.
Fair enough
If they don’t view you as an immediate threat, then you aren’t until you are, in extreme circumstances. Often, petty things get overlooked if you act right. Paperwork sucks for many of these dudes.
C’mon Steve…you’re a lawyer, you know chances are slim that officers are convicted of civil rights violations.
Cases are thrown out, you could walk.
My point is this:
Don’t get dead because you want to bow up to a cop. That’s stupid.
Did they J Walk? Fry ’em.

Mr Steve, you mind if I drop a link to some new fish at TI?
Sure, invite ’em all.
Well, I know what you mean.
You prowlin’ the high schools, again, Booger?
🙂
it’s “combin’….when quoting classics, get it right.
At least proves that I was doing it from memory. and not googling.
No team hits on all picks. I just think the Redskin have missed on high round picks…can’t have that.
Woods fights back, finishes one-over par in return to Augusta National
I watched him in the amen corner over lunch and he looked terrible.
What is the “amen corner”?
11-12-13 at Augusta is called the amen corner by golf snobs.
’cause you pray to do good on those holes they’re difficult
Ah, OK. Thank you. Love to play golf, but never got into watching it on TV.
I love playing golf, but don’t have a chance to play much and I’m not good at it.
Same here. Took it up when I was like 26/27. Got my game into the 90’s when I lived in Vegas for a few years (and was in sales and therefore played several rounds a month). Now I get to play once a year if I’m lucky. Going to make sure my son gets lessons when he’s 5 so we can go out and play He’ll probably kick my ass by the time he’s six.
I just saw the photos of the incident just prior to Saheed Vassell being shot. No wonder they shot him – that thing in his hand looked alot like a gun and he was holding it in a threatening manner. He appeared to be in the act of shooting someone. No wonder the cops shot him immediately. Cops to sometimes have bad and racist shootings, obviously, but unless there’s more to the story (which is possible), it looks like a pretty open and shut case this time, to me.
it’s a shame when the police shoot unarmed people but if you act in a threatening manner or don’t comply with lawful orders and they think lives are in danger you are going to get shot
there are some plain bad shootings but the vast majority end up being justified
people die over stupid stuff like I don’t like the police so I’m not going to obey what they tell me to do
Exactly what I said earlier. Was on the local news this AM in the NYC area. Clearly looked like a threat.
Nebraska
Wow, that’s like a Back to the Future movie on LSD……or PCP…….or Meth…….or bath salts.

* sports hate being different than actual, real hate
I don’t hate Nick Saban, sometimes when I actually see college football coverage it’s all a bit over the top, but don’t hate the guy. Right place, right time. He’s very organized.
so Sharpe is 11+?
Yeah, I guess. I ignore Sharpe, mainly. He maybe could’ve gone in there for Yuri Gurriel.
Top 10 Sports Hates

I take issue with you calling Rhythmic Gymnastics a sport in the first place.
I’m not calling it a sport I hate because someone deems to think it is a sport
1. Cowboys
2. Giants
3. Eagles
Lather, rinse, repeat.
I definitely blew it by leaving something Philadelphia off of my list. Philly sports fans should’ve been on there somewhere. Fail on my part.
I can get behind all professional Philly sports teams. Villanova (although out in the burbs) could fall into the category if professional isn’t added, which wouldn’t work for me.

Class of 2019 quarterback Paul Tyson (Hewitt-Trussville High School), the great grandson of Bear Bryant, has committed to Alabama.
The South shall rise again!
Maybe someday.
-Scott “William Tecumseh Sherman” Frost
1997 was over 20 years ago….
But 2018 is now.
If Alabama can make title game this year that’s 4 straight appearances
that would be better than Nebraska’s 1994-1997 run
but not better than their 1993-1997 run
where they only lost 3 games, and 1 each of a national title game and a conference title game
the other one was Frost’s first ever start. And the national title game loss is one of the most controversial and nip-tuck games ever played for a title. And, in those days, for example, the Big 8 in 1994 had 4 teams finish in the top ten, and none of them were named Oklahoma. It was a fairly tough league at that time, even with a post-Switzer OU.
Yeah, but 2 of those appearances were undeserved and unearned, in my (greatly biased) opinion.
Will be the first QB to play games wearing a checker fedora
I think the story would have been if he didn’t commit to Alabama, right?
I hope he’s very good. Grand expectations for obvious reasons .
May mean they’re not in on Hankins.

Heard from Tandler than Shaffer has a formula that calls for 50% of all players on the roster should be on rookie contracts. This explains why the exodus of veteran players, even some good ones. I trust Shaffer, but they’ve got to have another good (we think) draft class like ’17
when the W’s start to pile up, I’ll be on board
^This.
Exactly
Can’t miss on picks
the salary cap alone somewhat explains the exodus of some good players
Except the biggest cap hit and financial committment is a free agent QB.
I discuss the financial structure of the roster in my salary cap post from Tuesday.
Steve, quick, hurry over to University of Houston

Jackass, welcome to NYC
Losing out on Hankins plus drafting cb or safety would be head scratchers for me
Financially, they really shouldn’t give Hankins a large amount of guaranteed money. If he’s insistent on that, I think they should let him go. But I think they have a decent chance of waiting him out and getting him for cheap.

Chiefs sign NT Xavier Williams (2 years, $2.712 million; $705,000 guaranteed): A- Grade
Before I begin, thanks to reader Karl W. for sending links to details of the Xavier Williams and Doug Martin contracts!
The Chiefs needed a run-stuffing nose tackle after Bennie Logan struggled this past season, and they managed to steal Williams away from the Cardinals. Williams was just a restricted free agent, yet Kansas City was able to sign him.
Williams has developed into a stout run-plugger, and at just 26, he should continue to improve his game. He’ll definitely help the Chiefs’ woeful ground defense, and at less than $1.5 million per season, he seems like a great bargain.

I agree, btg. I think coaches like Hood at DE. But he was forced to play NT the last 2 years. Don’t think Logan is a step up for us. We’ll probably look at draft if we can’t sign Hank

I don’t want to start a whole big thing here; suffice to say that some of the things he’s said have made me think that he’s a bit prejudice against white folks. I’ve never met the man; maybe he’s not.

These reporters need to stop citing PFF rankings. It’s just lazy journalism. They’re just helping to perpetuate a fraud.
the NFL has a lot of stats
if I were them, I would load them up into a database in the cloud and throw a BI tool on top of it. Then charge for people to access it something like $29.99/year.
if would be neat to be able to find out things like
in the past 10 years, how many 6th or 7th round draft picks had game starts
or maybe the average number of games played by them
I would think people would be able to develop some interesting composite stats to indicate player value and reporters could dig for info to create additional articles based around interesting data they mined
Hankins is a good player
Who’s not gonna cost anything other than a contract
Huge win for us if it’s possible
Feces sandwich

Steve
In the first two games RKELLEY rushed 22 times for 108 yards
A 4.9 per carry clip
Then he got hurt
In the first two games, the DL gave up a total of 155 yards rushing yards combined.
I like Kelley; wrote a long piece about him. He’s better than Samaje. Neither one is a starter. They need an elite franchise back.
Agree to disagree
Disagree to agree
I wouldn’t throw out Perine with the bathwater yet
some backs take a little while to adjust to the speed of the game
I think he started to get better towards the end of the season and then the o-line fell apart
CTHOMP went 6 carries for 81 yards
Shannon Sharpe….all around terrible human being.
From Wikipedia:
“Shannon Sharpe’s girlfriend Michelle Bundy filed a restraining order on September 9, 2010 in an Atlanta court, making this the 10th complaint filed against Sharpe in 16 years.[10] Bundy accused Sharpe of sexual assault and threatening her life, according to legal documents obtained by SportsByBrooks. Bundy was allegedly forced to have sex with Sharpe. The restraining order petition also says Sharpe called and threatened her life along with placing her under surveillance and would call to say he was watching her.[11]”
On the bright side, that makes him better than Beto.
Am I right???
I remember when we were kids, there was an older couple that lived up the street. We used to spy on them with binoculars and such, and somehow we had their phone number. So we would call up and tell them we were watching them and then tell them about what we saw them doing over the course of the day.
Horrible (but funny as hell then).
I hope they don’t both get banned on TI also, trigger detox.
did someone get banned?
DC and Scamp, for a week.
Ah, that explains why no retorts from D_C yesterday

Yeah, they’re hashing it out on TI right now.
Just checked out the Master’s on my lunch – Tiger is playing veyr poorly. +2 on 12, but just put his ball in the water off the tee, so he’s looking at at least another bogey. Wonder if he’ll even make the cut.
Yeesh…..he’s finished already lol….all that build up too.
Bogey on 12, so he’s +4 and 7 back.
Of course, historically, he’s always been bad on day 1 of the Masters. I’m pretty sure that he’s only been below par on day 1 once in all the years.
PSmith is a different player when he’s playing along side talent
We’re all different “playas” when we’re playing with some side talent.
I don’t want a cb nor a safety
Again dead last against the run in a strong running division
And with ZHood playing a prominent role
Harrumph!
But right though
What if we address DT as well?
I’d rather have top end talent
^Wouldn’t we all….
Even if it’s the next sean taylor?
Who lines up on average 10-20 yards away from the LOS
How much will that help?
My very strong preference is (1) OG if Nelson is for some reason available, or (2) RB. Those two things are the key, to me.
Neither of which is going to help us on the dL
I get Guard but rb over dL makes little sense to me
DL isn’t a crisis. They’ll get healthy and be better. RB is a disaster – one of the worst RB groups in the league.
They were dead last against the run
And you can say the same thing about rb
They will get healthy
Because the DL isn’t horrible. They were doing fine until the injuries hit. Our starting RBs, on the other hand, just aren’t worthy. That’s the bigger need, by far in my opinion. They desperately need a franchise back.
Who the eff watches this show regularly. Shannon Sharp is dumb and just argues semantics.

Buffalo traded up to 13 for Mayfield.
I don’t know about Hurst
I heard a quote of his. “You furnish the QB and I’ll furnish the Sack.”
I traded back, and Vea and Payne were already taken. They were available at 13, but I wanted the extra picks. The trade was reasonable, with Buffalo trading up for Mayfield. We got 1/22, 2/21 and 3/32. That’s about +116 on the trade chart. I also traded back in 4th round, trading 4/9 for 4/22 and 4/24.
Well, that was fun.

That car hit a piece of metal laying in the road and propelled it into the air. It struck the Lexus’ hood and crashed through the windshield, FHP said.

.@JPFinlayNBCS on #RedskinsTalk pod: “The name people need to remember is Minkah Fitzpatrick. If he’s there at 13, they’re taking him, 100%, I’m told.”
If he’s there they should.
He probably won’t be.
Chubb, Vea, James, Smith, Nelson, Fitzpatrick, Barkley
I think those are the no brainers for us at #13
The real question is what order do we have them. One or two of them should fall to us. I doubt that Chubb, Barkley or Nelson fall there. So I’m thinking we will draft one of the remaining four. And if it’s only Vea, we have to assess the concern that he takes off some plays, and can he get pressure in passing downs. If not, we may look at Payne.
Gosh I hope not
What good is another cb s if we can’t stop the run
No thanks
We probably will not keep Norman after this year. So getting a top cb would make that transition much easier. There are good DT’s later in the draft.

A UK pensioner has been arrested after a suspected burglar was killed during a violent tussle at his home.
The 78-year-old was held on suspicion of murder after the 38-year-old died of his wounds in hospital in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Police said the struggle broke out after the pensioner, named locally as Richard Osborn-Brooks, found two men inside his home in South Park, Hither Green, south London shortly after midnight.
One of the burglars, who was armed with a screwdriver, forced the homeowner into his kitchen while his accomplice went upstairs.
Detectives believe a struggle then took place between “one of the males and the homeowner” and the 38-year-old intruder was stabbed in the upper body.
knife violence in London is out of control
this was screwdriver violence
ban screwdrivers!
just the flat ones, not Phillips head
I’m ok with banning Phillips and Flat, I draw the line at Torx.
Those rechargeable automatic screw drivers should be banned. They can kill you a lot faster than the manual ones
I like the ratcheting drivers.
See if the 38 year old had a gun, none of this would have happened.
If the 78 year old had a gun, he wouldn’t have had to struggle with the whippersnapper
If he had a shotgun, he could have taken out both of them
Aye
You can still own a shotgun and rifle in the UK. Handguns are illegal, logically.
If you’re a Lord

Nope, anyone can get own a shotgun or rifle.
They do also limit semi-auto ownership to .22 caliber.

So when you think about Russell comments…
Dan is upset with Bruce and he told…
1. Told everyone by speaking his mind while walking around Redskins Park or 980AM so people could over hear him
2. Told his wife and she called in his thoughts
3. Told Jay and he threw Bruce under the bus
4. Told Eric S or Doug W and it’s their turned for the secret power play to grab all control
5. Told Bruce who has MPD and he told on himself
6. Told some other lowly flunky and they called it in
anyone else got any possibilities?
7. Told an unnamed source who promptly called a 813 number……YOU ARE THE MAN ON THE GRASSY KNOLL!
But I didn’t know until this day that it was Barzini all along.
I find it hard to believe that Dan Snyder possesses zero intuition.
that is the problem when you lie big, the path to follow is narrow
Bruce’s Finlay interview didn’t hint to him being on a hot seat, or even close to it, not even a faint wiff of it.
8. Tweeted it in confidentiality
That’s a thing? – Donald
Sure…who would be listening?
*accidentally tweets VP some classified shit.
9. Dan uses a on-line diary/journal and Russell hack into it

——————
Maybe but I don’t think this is political at all. Chicago is quite frankly a national (or local) emergency. Marshall law is needed. It’s that bad. I served a tour in Iraq and witness less gun violence than that city…
That’s pretty bad .
What you wouldn’t know, is that so far there’s been something like a 20-25% drop in gun violence every month for the past year now. Now, still high, but those are the kinds of numbers that they can say hopefully that something they are doing is working.
That doesn’t add up . There would be no gun violence at all .
i clarified above. So lets say Jan/Feb/Mar of 2017 there were 100 murders, Jan/Feb/Mar of 18, there were 80 murders. That kind of thing
If that’s true , then there must have been some drastic changes made to account for it.
I’m trying to look into it, haven’t found anything yet to suggest why. I’ll always start with the theory of “well all the problem people killed each other”
Billionaire with Napoleon syndrome, what could go wrong?
Russell on 106.7 The Fan…
“Why now?…I’ve been told this has been brewing between Snyder and Allen….that Snyder was trying to be more supportive of Kirk…also that Snyder was REALLY upset that Wade Phillips was passed over not once, but twice…and then there’s an expected ruling on the McCloughan issue in the next few weeks which could cost them 4-5 million dollars.”
I’m hearing from inside the building that Russell makes shit up to boost his ratings
Snyder is the boss. If he wanted Phillips then he should have made it so.
which is why I think its BS . If he wanted these moves he would have demanded it.
yeah cause Dan is talking to whom? and then that person is calling up Russell and giving him the scoop
makes 0% sense
the only person who could be feeding this story to Russell with any plausibility would be Jay Gruden
so Jay is trying to force Bruce out?
Or someone from when he worked for 980.
but Dan would have to be telling someone what is on his mind…
Well if the stories are that Snyder walked in and started shouting at everyone, we all know how that works in cubicle world.
This is a bunch of complete garbage.

Redskins’ patient approach in free agency must pay off with wins
___
http://www.espn.com/blog/washington-redskins/post/_/id/36176
“In many ways, the Redskins have been damned if they spend and damned if they don’t. Part of that stems from one fact: They haven’t won consistently in a long time. Until they do, every approach will be scrutinized.”
I think they’re content with being mediocre (such an improvement over the past 20 years).
Reading a lot of the excuse laden tripe up here makes me think they’ve done a fantastic job of convincing the fan base that mediocrity is okay too!
Lol
Yep….We’ve been so conditioned that mediocrity seems acceptable.
horrible. guess bruce has done his job
it is the biggest thing “wrong” right now, doing the “right thing” has not led to as many wins as one would think
crushing injuries, inopportune turnovers, bad defensive play and poor game management have all contributed to snatch defeat from victory
Yeah man like Hopkins missing the FG in London…we make the playoffs if not for that. That’s not the FO fault. Countless other situations like that.

Thing is, good teams survive those mistakes (or don’t make them in the first place). We don’t.. You are what your record says you are and that says we’re a mediocre team.
Family of slain bipolar black man slams NYPD for killing over ‘a piece of iron’
==========================================
that’s the problem
how do to tell an unarmed crazy man versus an armed killer in less than 4 seconds
when you assume a shooting stance and point a piece of pipe that resembles a weapon at police, you’re going to get shot 99.9 times out of a 100
And for that matter, how do we possibly know what actually happened based on a short news blurp? We don’t.
Saw the video. Cops had three reports of a guy pointing a gun at them. Dude set himself up for that, unfortunately.

I somehow received a text message yesterday afternoon from the Beto O’Rourke campaign asking me to donate even though I’m not a democrat and would never vote for him or give him money. It really irritates me that they got my cell phone number somehow. The GOP doesn’t even have my cell and I’m a registered Republican. I blocked the number, though, so it shouldn’t happen again.
It’s a message from God. Donate to Beto and get involved in your new calling.
I’m proud of you.
I didn’t respond, and I blocked the number, which was the right thing to do. I’d rather claw my own eyes out than vote for that hand-wringing liberal.
He has an interesting family background .
From wikipedia:
“He was arrested in 1995 on burglary charges after he tripped an alarm while jumping a fence at the University of Texas-El Paso, but prosecutors declined the case. He said he received deferred adjudication 15 years ago on the drunken driving arrest and was not convicted. He called the incident “a mistake”

He’s great, and Texans love him. Especially when he is visiting every one of the 254 counties in Texas. He’s held open Town Halls with Q&A everywhere, even in the deepest red parts of the State.
That takes the type of cojones that Rafael Eduardo Cruz just doesn’t have.

You must not have seen many candidates for office.
Seen ’em all.
And, of course, the very nature of a receiving deferred adjuducation means that he was found guilty, most likely by a plea agreement, and a received a sentence of deferred adjudication.
That’s just plain lazy talk. But I don’t expect hard-line “conservatives” to vote for Beto. They will buy whatever Ted Cruz’s latest soundbite is.
Beto will draw heavily from women, young voters, and centrists. There will be a record mid-term voter turnout in Texas, which is basically a non-voting State.
Conservatives appreciate that Ted Cruz is a true small government, social conservative and constitutional originalist.
That’s okay, snub a message from God. Enjoy eternal damnation.

Ozzie Newsome, John Harbaugh to be questioned Thursday in Colin Kaepernick collusion grievance
========================================
OK who called it yesterday when they said the RG3 signing would come back around to the Kap situation
Me – the world
you are free to say whatever you want, but they are always consequences for your actions
are teams colluding together to deny Kap a job – no
are they all looking at the PR nightmare signing him would be and backing away – yes
Signing RGIII is entirely different than signing Kapernick. Kap was outspoken in such a way that he created a lot of controversey within the league. RGIII is the son of a vet, was raised in the military. RGIII just sucked and said stupid shit.
You’re crazy if you don’t think they are colluding….
jordan speith, just for fun, yesterday:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kcs2bS0XdMs&feature=youtu.be
holy shit!
So, evidently Moe has discovered some SS out of a school in Alabama that we should strongly consider, some kid named Derwin James.
If they sign Hankins then I’m on board
Drafting DJames and having ZHOOD as a starter and hoping for PTaulor to work out is just dumb
🙂
Fwiw, there’s life after Hankins. He may come lumbering in with John Hancock before the draft.
I think he signs draft weekend
Probably a dude that mulls shit over with his momma first, annoying when you want an answer, but probably a great guarantee towards commitment.
This. Signing Hankins would give much more flexibility with our first two picks, especially considering we don’t have a third (Fugg that Alex Smith trade).
Obviously, but there are options at DT beyond #13.
Yeah, ones that suck! [insert smiley face]
Sure…..
Poorer options
There are multiple layers to a Defense. Depending on who’s available, you may have to readjust who’s taking the slack.

We gave up draft picks and coin to get B. Lloyd. That may be worse. Lasted a year?
Three firsts and a second
Gutted this team
You have proven, veteran leadership you can go all in on FA like the Rams did and be ok. I’m just unsure if they have that. Broncos did it. Eagles did it (twice). We did it but absolutely sucked at it. Huge difference.
Who’s the veteran leader?
Goff
In his third year??
Sure 👌
That’s the sign for the world’s smallest violin……
Hence why I typed I don’t know if they have that. Maybe Aaron Donald? For them it’s 50/50
Why do people post images of people being interviewed on television? ThatsT so fucking annoying.

It’s amazing (and hilarious), the impact that Russell has on the Twitter masses.
He may be the teams greatest media foil at this point, in the line of what Jason LaCanfora did, and much less so Mike Wise.
Evidently
Nothing wrong with that, this team has and deserves to have someone muckraking them.
I hope JP Finlay keeps his boots outta that shit, seems to have nuzzled in to Bruce.
Anyone who’s at CSN/NBCS or 980 is on the inside with the team.
Can’t really trust them because they are a bit too mouth piece’ish.
Anyone at the Post, 106.7, is gonna be on the outside.
Not like the Rook, though. He’s special – Bruce
The guy is a complete tool, though. If you argue with him to the point he loses, he will block you (like he did me). Thin-skinned for a pig.
Consider it a complement.
I think he’s a horses ass when it comes to things like Hasslett, or how he thinks he could be an NFL coach.
But he is connected and gets rumors, he is the one who broke that Scot was gonna get fired last year.
Rams heading in for 4 tires
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/04/05/rams-are-done-for-the-moment-to-preserve-their-2019-comp-picks/
So, let me see if I got this, you’ve signed all the top free agents at any position where you were even just okay, traded for a butt load of talent, getting rid of many of your draft picks in the process and after you re-sign the big name trades you will have no cap space.
No shit they are done this off season
We do that = Snyder being Snyder
They do that = Great offseason
well, greg, it depends on HOW you do it. when “snyder” does it, it’s guys like hatcher and paea and haynseworth and so forth. no problem with an active free-agent offseason, if you know what you’re doing.
Yeah because Suh is such a great teammate for a young coach
I’m sorry but Hatcher and Haynesworth are very different conversations.
One was Dan overspending on a total sleezeball the other was all Bruce Allen looking for value and not finding it, but at least Hatcher was a guy who was good for the locker room.
alex,
just examples that come to mind. there are probably 30 guys people could name who’ve been FA busts for us over the last 10-15 years.
I just have a different definition of a bust than that.
To me a bust is someone who not only doesn’t work out, but flames out like an explosion of napalm in the middle of a football field.
^ ala, RGIII
Could probably do a Redskins bust power rankings from the dan snyder era and have some fun.
Top 3:
Shuler
RGIII
Haynesworth
Busts unless they help our Team win
You sound a whisker jealous.
Nah, just making light of the situation.
I’d never want to see the skins trade away so many picks for vets.
They either catch the ledge with their fingertips, or they don’t.
but because they didn’t sign any FAs of note, they get compensatory picks next year
plus, they’re done to preserve their compensatory picks
it’s master’s thursday! completely different animal now that tiger is involved. (swidt)

Some people just need a good ass kicking.
Coddled golfers makes me sick. Ridiculous cant say anything AFTER their swing. Can’t stand watching golf and all the ridiculous archaic rules. Pussies
to each his own.
do you golf?
I hack around at it but stand by my statement. An event where AFTER the swing is made, spectators can’t yell is fucking ridiculous
what are you talking about with the AFTER the swing bit? many yells come after the hit. do you mean “dilly dilly”? i read something about that. seems silly silly to me, but that’s not a golf rule, that’s a masters rule.
Yes it’s a Masters rule AFTER golfers complained. Pussies and worse
it should be like a soccer game… non stop noise, chanting, singing
and then, maybe it moves closer to sport from recreational activity
2″ mortars, Roman candles, mass rioting.
you have a clock
you have a 24 second clock from which time your arrive (refereed) from when the defensive rush can come in and sack you, and they may alter your shot, but if you don’t get the shot off at all… 2 stroke add. And each player gets a rusher, which adds some strategy, each sack they make is a 1 stroke subtraction. So, you’d have to have some strategy to move around your rusher.
I’ll be in the bar with their wives and girlfriends.
^Too late. They’re mine. Already slipped them each a micky.
-NPI
There’ll be a smart one or two left over.
^Ha!
Also the other guys you’re playing with should be allowed to play defense, when you’re hitting they should be allowed to try and swat your ball out of the air with a bat.

Good news for the Nats as they extend GM Mike Rizzo, for 2 seasons. Rizzo turned that team around with a record of 767-696 since taking over in 09.
I only wish that the Redskins could find a GM like that, someone who’s not about his ego, but just loves to find good ballplayers, and has a clear plan for the next decade of the franchise. He’s easily the best general manager of DC’s major sports teams.
Coach, looks like there’s no, triple spin double pump, jump spin twist ignore the open man, impregnate something and take it to the house play?? – rg

Steve…do you know Eric Shaffer professionally? ….being a lawyer and all.
Yes all lawyers know each other, like black people
I knew it!!!!
Rich knows I represented a couple of NFL teams. No, I don’t know him at all.
Only reason why I asked is that he’s been around for a while and seems well respected.
I kid, I kid.
Lawyers don’t all know each other
…but black people do. Colin Kaepernick my cousin.
Lol
thought he was you broh
Another way to look at it is the Ravens were is such dire financial shape they ended up with RG3 as their back-up QB. Twenty-some other QB’s taken off the market before they could be players.
Funny thing is Kaep is a better QB than Bob3.
He’s too toxic to get on a franchise right now as just a backup.
Yes but he is better
Agreed. He’s done. Never coming back. RG3 getting signed before him only cements that fact.
RGIII will be toxic in the locker room I’m betting.
He’s not toxic. The people who hate him are toxic.
But what is his asking price?
Griffin needs to leave the Dundalk “white wimmen” alone.
The Block
I think he married the Estonian chick. I’m sure it’l last forever.
If Griffin EVER learns to slide and protect himself, he’s a STEAL.
Oh….and progress through more than one read.
Lol
And keep it in his pants
His attitude really did him in. His combination of arm talent and athletic ability were awesome. If he’d only not been so arrogant and actually listened, he could’ve been Russell Wilson, only alot better.
Yup…100% agree….
D_C and Jesse Jack must be riding each other now that Griffin is back.
Of course, the odds of Griffin (1) actually getting on the field in the regular season, and if he does (2) playing alot before going down with his annual debilitating injury, are slim.
Frotting in the shower no doubt.
Can’t tell where one begins and the other ends.
You’re welcome fur the visual
NPI…we’ve had our dust-ups but you are one FUNNY ass dude! You a dude that coulda hung in my circle back in the day.
Thanks Brotato Chip! Feeling is mutual.
The Redskins PR department and media need to get together and promote Alex Smith. I’m really excited to have him.
Griffin and Cousins are gone…
They will, and they’ve published stories about him on Redskins.com. Not much to do in March and April.
Griffin is back baby!
My boyfriend’s back and you’re gonna be in trouble

It will make our annual pre-season game vs. the Ravens fairly interesting.

I actually dislike him. He was a liar and a poser and he never, ever, took responsibility for getting himself hurt. Always someone else’s fault for him being in the game when he was hurt or being benched when he was healthy.

So the Rams have had an interesting off-season so far. The GM needs to be right about several things, but McVay must be excited as hell.
I figure the GM looked at it like this:
1) Seattle has a couple of years of rebuild in them
2) Niners might be a season away
3) QB still on rook deal for at least 1 more year
4) Eagles sorta did this

We had to put him and scamp in timeout for a week as a result of this morning’s blow up.
Ah. I missed that, but no one can say we weren’t warned about that ish.
They are both welcome to come back, but we just don’t want the personal attacks here.
here I guess . I find it hilarious he picks right up with the RG thing .
I can’t get the comment section to load properly over there . Had that happen once before, No big deal anyway .
Haven’t been over there in a while, think I’ll drive-by…
doesn’t matter what the article is . It’s the same Snyder and BA bashing for everything . Same replies on every one .
Yeah, what a bunch of boring comments. I didn’t make it very far.
Banned here. Must mean Scamp’s been banned as well. They got into it pretty good last night.
This is why I hate golf! Golfers are such pussies and they’ve been complaining about the crowd yelling things, AFTER, they’ve shot or swing. Can’t stand cry babies
It’s not the golfers, really, it’s the snobby racist prudes who control Augusta who are the ones passing the rules about kicking spectators out of the Masters this year.
though, if I paid that kind of scratch to be a member of a thing, I’d be a snob about the rules too
It actually doesn’t come with an exorbitant annual fee as far as snobby private golf clubs go. The Masters income subsidizes alot. It’s just very, very hard to get an invitation. I’d love to see Augusta once and experience the Masters, but I’d rather hang myself than be associated with people like that even if I had the money and contacts to get on the list. Which I don’t.
I got down there 3 years ago. I was very special. Hallowed ground, as far as I am concerned. The course is just spectacular. One special memory was standing inline to go to the Men’s room, while the women just walked into the ladies room. Funny.

Kirstjen Nielsen is a total smokeshow for a cabinet member and she’s a smart and as articulate as she is hot.
No one here would have a shot in any debate with that woman.
That is all.
I will debate her that her fist name is ridiculous. And win.
She would humiliate you in a manner even D_C could never imagine.
You’ll never get 1/10th as far as her.
Deal with that.
I’m fine with that. I still don’t have a extra “j” the most un-American of letters in my first name for no reason.
So you are a libby and you are ripping someone because of their name.
Ironic.
Wouldn’t hating someone for a foreign sounding name be conservative?
no-it would be bull shit projecting from the left, trying to apply to the right. The right is just as bad, as both parties are worse than the other

Oh , return sarcasm ? I get it
I figured you were getting it… Never sure if NPI is.

See, those J’s make sense, you actually pronounce them.
why do we dot the lower-case J?
Because the J is actually a bastardized letter I, it’s one of the last letters of the modern alphabet

It didn’t really become a letter till about 400 years ago. In-fact, even as late as the writing of the constitution at times they were used interchangeably.
Just ask Thomas Iefferson.
I’ve heard some say that’s the real reason there’s no J street in Washington DC.

There’s Mounting Evidence The African Continent Is Splitting in Two
The East African Rift is unique in that it allows us to observe different stages of rifting along its length. To the south, where the rift is young, extension rates are low and faulting occurs over a wide area. Volcanism and seismicity are limited.
Eventually, over a period of tens of millions of years, seafloor spreading will progress along the entire length of the rift.
The ocean will flood in and, as a result, the African continent will become smaller and there will be a large island in the Indian Ocean composed of parts of Ethiopia and Somalia, including the Horn of Africa.
Is this news?
– Pangaea
nice
Over 200 million years ago, the continents were joined together. Dr Iain Stewart explains how the Earth’s moving tectonic plates resulted in a supercontinent called Pangaea.
At this time most of the dry land on Earth was joined into one huge landmass that covered nearly a third of the planet’s surface. The giant ocean that surrounded the continent is known as Panthalassa. The movement of Earth’s tectonic plates formed Pangaea and ultimately broke it apart.

The best thing Hilary Clinton could do for the Democratic party is to shut up and stay out of the limelight

She’s not even the smartest woman Bill Clinton has slept with.

I know the rumors.
I’m sure everybody does.
You would be shocked. Many do not know that one.
How about Bill’s son ?
That, I think more would know because it was in the flick Primary Colors
Danney Williams? Fake News
It had been rumored forever.
fake
you think danney williams is clinton’s son?
I don’t think anyone knows for sure.
We do know that Bill Clinton got more strange than a 70’s rock star. So the odds of a few extra Bill Juniors being out there is possible.
it would be SOOOO easy to prove with proper DNA tests. so easy.
Yep, so lets get some Clinton DNA
^Send a stripper over. He’ll share some DNA.
I was just gonna have you put on this wig and this sun dress and ask you to do us all a favor.
I thought Chelsea was Clinton’s son?
she’s the smartest lesbian Bill’s ever slept with

Probably not if the rumors are true
Just ask her

I had high hopes for KRob, at one point.
Technically, Jordan Bernstein is “Out of knee.” Still finding parts of that knee out there. Horrible mess.
That’s a whole bunch of dreck
KC and KRob and then utter nothingness
Really bad draft
KRob currently being unsigned, himself.
LeRibeus has made a career of it somehow.
He sucks and that is not for debate
Shocked K Rob isn’t even a backup right now.
Remember the pile driver against the Ravens in preseason a few years ago? Loved it.
KRob also trash talked the Redskins organization on his way out the door. Went to the Gnats. Fudge Keenan.
He sucks and that is not for debate
How is lerib,a center who consistently forgot the snap count, still in the league?
Crawford had a lot of potential but had a nasty knee injury

@alex35332:disqus the easy thing is a Google Sheet with with handle and location then create a custom map with Google Map using that as a layer
you would get a map with a bunch of pins on it
I did that for a buddies website a few years back
I would just have to remember what I did since I only ever did that once
but there are instructions on Google some place
Saw your post, I will look into it see if I can figure it out. But in that case it’s all manual to do it on my end I assume
yes, build a sheet with the peep’s name/locations to display a on custom map which you can share on the site
From the WaPo article comments on RG signing in B-more:
9 minutes ago
Ravens Coach John Harbaugh said. “I feel like we got a steal. I felt like he really wanted to be here, be a Raven.”
He did want to be a Raven… It was that or be a checkout guy at Safeway.
All I can say is THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU…I’m a Steeler Fan.

At this point I am wondering if the skins should talk about bringing back Sean Lauvao on a 1 year deal, just so they have someone at guard.
Yeah, that has occurred to me, too. It’s either that or Craiglist.
No, Craiglist took out the Anonymous Encounters Section.
May as well use Craigslist. Best place to buy a big, old, comfy chair.
That’s all Laovau is.

Now that nothing else materialized he signs
When he could have had a year in this offense

the whole 6 versus 7 minute debate was one of the most funniest things ever on the WaPo
6 versus 7?
D_C getting a number of minutes passed incorrectly and then spending the remainder of the night arguing that he was right.
it was an argument over when something was posted with the timestamp on the post
and the timestamp on WaPo was just hours and minutes
so someone posted something like at 8:01 and and D_C posted something at 8:07
and someone commented something like that was so six minutes ago and the debate was on
I know Scamp, NPI and I were involved and a bunch of other peeps jumped in too
Could be a time difference of up to 6 mins and 59 seconds.
right could be 6 minutes or 7 minutes
Never reaches a full 7 minutes….
A date…which will live…..IN INFAMY!
Some random poster actually pointed out that D_C reminded him of the moron from the “I AM FENWICK” commercial that came on during a game (so everyone saw it) which really hit it on the head; especially from some random passer-by.
like that abs workout deal in Something About Mary?

I had a sammich that was (appeared to be) just a decent sammich with decent bread, and lots and lots of sliced turkey… and then I bit in and it had this thing I had never had before. Havarti-herb cheese. It was glorious. I snuck around like a rogue agent, and took two more back to my hotel room that night.
Havarti-herb eh,
wait till you try a turkey with melted smoked gouda, brother, it will blow your mind.
something happened and I don’t like the smell of fake smokery anymore. grilling is fine, but liquid smoke makes my stomach churn, and “smoked” foods tend to have that fakery smell. love gouda. my point was that … tying this all together… 4 star hotels make better sammiches
but gouda is better on like a pizza. the havarti was so creamy and quality and there was so much turkey, and the bread was right, it was next level conference sammich food.
A roll AND cornbread? I’d go cornbread every time.
i regularly, with good reason, imo, make fun of people who post pictures of their food.
It’s even more fun to make the wtf-face when watching someone hold their camera over their food at a restaurant like they are from ZAGAT or something.

I’d rather have a baconator
I gave up fast food a year ago now but did hit a Wendy’s on the way back to DC from VA sometimes and ordered the baconator.
Never, even once, had one (had many) where I didn’t hate myself upon taking that last bite.
you know it’s good if you eat until you hate
that’s a rule
Yep, that’s what the baconator is. first 2 or 3 bites, it feels like a good thing. By the end you feel sick.
well, it’s what, half a pound of beef, plus bacon, cheese and (mostly sugar) bun, and one eats it in prob 1/4 of the time you’d eat that steak from Mortons’
if you eat any fast food after the age of about 30 with a sugary drink, you’re bound to a t-minus countdown to the couch and then the toilet
I hate when the upper management folks try to eat with us. I just want them to leave so I can order a beer.
I mean, do they bring McDonalds for Trump? Does the SecDef eat raw meat? SecEducation drink chocolate milk and bad creamed corn like a typical school lunch?

Ravens make confusing move signing former Redskins’ bust Griffin
he was a bust as a starter
and he couldn’t be a backup here
he can be a backup for the Ravens; Kirk isn’t there
he was cut by the Browns and he was the last QB to win a game for them
DC’s excuses for why rg gets cut
1. Only had 5 months to learn the offense
2. Knee never fully healed
3. Baby is keeping him up at night
4. Ravens training staff not prepared for his needs
5. Suggs wasn’t gentle

I highly doubt he makes the final team
Who knows wtf they’re up to.
Actually, they don’t really have a #2 QB right now, so he might be more than camp fodder.
Best comment so far on PFT:
Great, now we have 2 QBs who peaked in 2012
Everyone worried about the trade war with China and markets tanking
the actual big worry is not the US economy but the China economy which is even more heavily debt laden than ours, the trade war could severely impact them and cause major ripples in the world economy
I think cooler heads will prevail on their end, because we require domestic and international investment in our gov bonds to operate and they require us to produce junk we create and send them blueprints for.
prob the only country who might be worried more is Germany, who makes all the stuff that is in the factories that China uses to produce… and Germany is very reliant on niche conspicuous consumption for a lot of their small industry economy.
He seems like an odd choice to back up Joe Flacco.
polar opposites
And with the No. 16 overall pick, the Baltimore Ravens select……….Lamar Jackson
that’s the plan get the team ready for Lamar and then cut RG3
But….. I’M A POCKET PASSER, GODDAMMIT! – Lamar
so am I and don’t use that language .

YOU’RE A GOD-DAMNED MEAT POPSICLE! – Lamar

A man died Tuesday morning after swallowing seven grams of cocaine during a traffic stop, according to the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office.
On Monday night, an unidentified man was stopped for a traffic incident. He was arrested and charged with a suspended license and possession of a controlled substance.
Before he was taken into custody, deputies say they saw him swallow a small object. He was checked by the Sheriff’s Office medical team and placed in a close watch cell for observation.
Tuesday at 5:45 a.m., the man admitted to swallowing seven grams of cocaine and was taken by an ambulance to a hospital. He was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to deputies.

Wow, so apparently this wasn’t a joke.
WTF is wrong with Baltimore.
Prostitutes at hotel breakfast buffets, now this….
The only other QB Baltimore has on the roster is somebody named Josh Woodrum, so it looks like RG has a good shot at the #2 role.
That is until McPhee puts him on IR in week 3 of preseason.

A “Blast” from the past…
RYAN ANDERSON
“Ryan Anderson is an explosive edge rusher. … He sets a physical edge. He converts speed to power better than any edge rusher in this draft. … He’s a leverage player. He gets underneath you and knocks your jock on the ground. I like him in the run game. I like his energy in the pass game and he’s an all-day sucker. Really good football player.” — Mike Mayock
BOTTOM LINE Well-schooled with a high football IQ and a history as a winner. His disciplined, assignment-based approach to the game should resonate with defensive coordinators. Lack of length and average athletic traits could put a cap on his draft stock, but he should be a safe pick and a long-time starter as an outside linebacker.
He didn’t play last year like an explosive edge rusher.
he wasn’t playing with the rest of Alabama’s defense?
He played like explosive diarrhea
Wow, it’s happened again. Sports t-shirt makers again putting a Washington DC sports team in Washington State. And it’s the same company doing it!!!

how many superb owls will cousins play in? win? how many nfc champs? playoff games?
he’s been dropped into a ready-made situation.
I won’t be shocked if he never gets there, I won’t be shocked if he does. It’s such a team game. But I’ve said before, he’s Matt Hastelbeck. Hastelbeck got to 1, but mostly thanks to a good team around him.
what is a superb owl?
is that a 3 star or 4 star owl?
does that owl have free breakfast?
Owl have to get back to you on that
(it’s a little running joke i’m enjoying….)
The Vikings window is the next two years, maybe 3, so if it doesn’t happen then it won’t at all.
I’m rooting for zero, but think they’ll at least get to 1.
It needs to happen while Adam Theilan and Dalvin Cook are still on reasonable deals. Theilen is signed through 2020 on a contract worth $19M.

I’m glad Kirk did not sign here. Why would a team play a player a MASSIVE deal if the truly doesn’t want to be here.
Smith does…
Plus, we’d have to live through strike three.
My wife is disgusted with me because I admitted that I would rather stay in a 3 star hotel than a 4 star.
I just want to walk down to the lobby in my pajamas and grab continental breakfast and not see a bunch of people wearing ascots and sipping wine but she’s all uppity.
Opposites attract, I guess.
Here’s the sweet spot:
Must have free/included breakfast, breakfast should have real milk to put in coffee, now powder.
Prostitutes working the breakfast buffet?
^ Usually what you find in a place that only has powdered milk
Holiday Inn Select, Baltimore MD
Or express, can’t remember. Downtown
3 star hotels are usually full service business type hotels, like a Marriott
they almost never have free/included breakfast, but that also means you can go to the lobby in your pajamas or workout clothes and sometimes they have a relatively cheap buffett largely free of snot-nosed kids and people who think orange juice is a healthy treat, and maybe they’ll splurge on being healthy and waddle back to their room with an apple.
4 star hotels are just a notch better, the in room menu is usually more uppity. they might have a spa. valet parking is $50 a night and it is the only parking available. I think in all my travels I’ve only stayed at a handful of 4 stars. but all of that is subjective.
if it has a bar it’s prob a 3 star and above.
free breakfast, prob 2.5 star and below. Hampton Inn might be sweet spot there, but they still have the annoying children at breakfast
I’ve stayed in a few 4 and 5 stars in my life, I do like a nice SPA
sipping wine at breakfast….? could be cool in the right circumstances.
Mimosas, maybe. I don’t know. All I know is if I don’t see a do it yourself waffle maker in the lobby, imma be cranky.
Had a conference in Vegas several years ago. Conference was Tuesday – Friday, and we had to stay at Caesar’s Palace, paid for by company. Wife came along. We wanted to stay through the weekend, because it was Valentine’s Day weekend, but the prices Friday went up to something crazy like $500/night. So I made her move down the street to the Hooter’s Hotel on Friday afternoon, which in my defense (1) was new then, (2) she actually found online in the first place., and (3) it’s not like we’d be hanging out in the room all day anyway. But when the place turned out to be 3 star worthy, no Caeser’s Palace-worthy, somehow it became all my fault.
Staying at Hooters on Valentine’s day is always your fault
In retrospect, it was a bad idea, but it was also a group decision no matter what she says now.
steve,
you “made” just her move down to that other hotel? or you both went down there?
No, we both moved there for the weekend after the company stopped paying because it was a reasonable price, not $500 per night.
gotcha. seems ok in my book. both together, so… all good.
It would’ve been fine except our room ended up being dirty.
Imagine if you’d brought a black light
there’s a 2.5 star business hotel right off the strip, near the arena, and shares a parking lot with the Haufbrauhaus, which if you’re like me, is real handy because they serve beer by the liter there. plus, it looks “better” on the ‘ol receipt than a casino hotel when it is voucher time. and luckily my wife thinks Vegas is the devil’s lair and doesn’t have any interest in a romantic weekend there (to tag on to a business trip).
It actually got worse, though, because we were there at this conference with a client, and wanted to do something unique to entertain them. In that vein, I had called the Thunderbirds squadron out at Nellis and set up a special tour of their facility for everyone on Friday afternoon. But to get that done, I had a bunch of logistical things to do Friday morning, so I had to leave it to her to check us out of Caeser’s by the checkout deadline and get all of our bags down to the new place by herself.
The tour was great, though, and I was also able to take everyone out on the flightline to climb on an F-22, which even I was happy to do.
You should be able to find a hotel that is less than $500 a night and still clean. That’s not unreasonable.
That’s a tough task in Vegas on Valentine’s weekend
Yeah, the problem was that it was Valentine’s Day.
That’s a fair point.
Good theory Steve and it makes sense….
I also think the Giants debacle at the end of ’16 was deciding game for Kirk, for better or for worse. Yeah, it was a TEAM loss, but Kirk threw an interception at the end against Giants’ backups.
You wanna pay 150mil to see strike three?
Hell no!
And he’s northbound!
Police: Suspect claimed he shot girlfriend only after worrying he’d buried her alive
For a week, as police in suburban Maryland searched for a missing, pregnant high school teacher, they grew convinced her boyfriend knew more than he was saying. Then they found the body of the teacher, shot once in the back of the head and buried in a shallow grave several hundred yards from where the boyfriend lived.
——————-
he was worried. it was more like a mercy killing. i mean buried alive has got to be among the worst.
Horrible.
Either way, that’s murder 1
Not enough evidence to convict based on those facts, though.
“suspect claimed he shot his girlfriend…”
Oh, ha, I actually didn’t read the headline, just the blurb. My fault.
So now the guy pleads guilty in exchange for a lighter sentence. No trial, done.
haha
maybe not. murder 1 to me, more thought out, would be to take the body and drive it a lot further than several hundred yards, avoiding toll roads and other major roads where your license plate may get dinged, don’t fill it up with gas along the way, and then under cover of dark, killing the lights and dumping the body in a creek by the side of a field in a thicket/windbreak, and then calmly driving away, and THEN when you get home get a very quick non-alcoholic drink, non-chalant at a restaurant… maybe even have a pron site playing on your computer while you are gone… you know… planned out, thought out alibis, that kind of thing. this you might be able to plead heat of the moment, insanity, etc. not enough thought was involved.
Criminal intent doesn’t have to be a long, drawn out thing. It can be in a split second.
First degree murder should be stuff like contract killing, assassination, gang hits, …murder planned out in advance. Stuff you react to with a reptillian mind should not be first degree… put them in the chair… type of murder conviction.
In this case, he might have dug a hole first, but I didn’t read the story either.
Bruce said (and you can take this for what it’s worth) that they knew Kirk was not coming back after they applied the 2nd tag.
I think what really happened is this: the front office never convinced themselves that Kirk truly was a franchise QB to build around, and as a result they were never all-in on making him a contract offer commensurate with that kind of ability. So they strung it along for two years hoping things would eventually click for Kirk, but they never did, at least in the minds of the front office. At the same time, though, because this is just the Redskins way, they wanted the public to think that all of this was Kirk’s fault, not theirs, so they put out public statements like the one last year about the phony contract offer, and also leaked stuff to the press. In the meantime, Kirk, who if nothing else has a ton of faith in himself, thought otherwise, and so the relationship eventually became so toxic that a divorce needed to happen. Then, right after the season, the front office – to their great credit – finally ripped off the bandaid and made the Smith trade, but then felt the need to continually kick him in the nuts on the way out by leaking some of the negative stuff that has come out (how they didn’t really like him, etc.).
That’s what I think really happened.
I largely do agree with you. But I do think that a year ago the team had settled in and wanted Kirk long term, but they didn’t want to pay him what it would take.
Things never clicked for Kirk ? I couldn’t disagree more , That’s why he is in the position he is in now , and why he had all the bargaining power throughout Things clicked extremely well , that’s why he hosed BA for 50 million dollars
….in the minds of the front office. They clearly didn’t believe it, or else they’d have made Kirk a massive 5 year offer last year.
Ok , my bad , that’s more likely true than not .
Slandur!
-Flouner
I think that’s largely true, not sure how much of the conspiracy part is correct. I think part of it too was a communication issue, and reality that Kirk didn’t treat it like a team thing but this is me getting my chance, prob soured the locker room a bit.
It’s NEVER a good thing to only hear from the owner when it’s time to fire or hire a coach. We don’t know Dan’s vision…we don’t know how Dan feels about his coach….we don’t know how Dan felt about the past season….we know nothing.
A mouthful, there……
Right, so we have to rely on rumors, like the one Russell put out t here. He may be right, he may be wrong, may have been given bad info from someone with an axe to grind, we don’t know. But all we can do as fans is take in all the information and make a determination based on that information.
Being a redskins fan and trying to get good info on the front office is like being in the CIA and trying to get info on North Korea
A billionaire with Napolean syndrome is a dangerous thing
To Steve’s point, who knows how true this report is? Things are pretty quiet this off-season….no QB drama, no coaching drama, so what’s the next story? Drama between Bruce and Dan. The media HAS to have something to carry the day up to the draft.
nevermind bungling or not bungling the cousins deals, i am thrilled with the alex smith signing.
I disagree that there was no QB drama, we just got it over with early, which was smart.
they knew Kirk was not coming back before they franchised him again
they gambled on having a good year and possible playoff run
but the team got decimated by injuries
Yes, but there was still QB drama in the offseason. You let arguably the best QB you’ve had in 15 years walk, and traded for another. That’s drama, weather you admit it or not.
if they had no plan that’s drama
this is only drama because you don’t see good QBs change teams like this, ever before
Best QB the team’s had in 15 years? He was the best QB this team has ever had, and he’s deliciously dreamy!
-Hope
yeah, it’s not like the media has a history of making up stories about the Redskins just to “sell copies”
My BIGGEST criticism is Dan Snyder is that he doesn’t know how to navigate or lead his organization through adversity. He also doesn’t seem know when to step in and when to fall back.
Hasn’t he fallen back the last few years
Yes. He seems to lack leadership ability and management skills.
But he makes up for it with social awkwardness
he has a big ego and doesn’t like being viewed in a negative light
his biggest lesson which he is still trying to figure out is
hire some damn good football people to run the franchise and hold up the trophy after the Super Bowl win and then Thank God for the talent we have running this team and all the hard work they do.
noone,
it is so frustrating because he should be the PERFECT owner. rich, local guy who remembers the glory days. just wants to continue/re-ignite that childhood energy…. how bad he’s been is puzzling, really.
Maybe he should go back to college. Finally get his degree, take a few classes in Business Management and learn how to not be bad at it. Pull a Thornton Melon.
If there’s one thing being in and around the military for my whole life has taught me, it’s that you can learn to effectively manage an organization, but that leadership is an inherent behavioral characteristic that you either have or don’t have. You can never learn to be a good leader.
No, but you can learn what kind of leader you are and how to still build a good team around you to shield your weaknesses.
Just put up some motivational posters with kittens and shit on your office and be done with it.
Like that weird picture in Bruce’s office that we cannot figure out what the hell it was for?
The difference between success and failure is 👌
I love him, He’s my hero
I tend to seriously doubt Chris Russell’s latest report about Dan Snyder being mad at Bruce Allen.
Because he’s not
Dan is one who did not approve the a bigger LTD for Cousins because everyone could not agree if Cousins was the real deal or not back in 2015
and most of the PR nightmares are Dan’s fault not Bruce’s
Bruce is cannon fodder
compared to the owner yes he is
Part of Bruce’s job description is taking the PR bullets for the owner.
But i thought Dan was so much better now?
Dan is better now, but he’s certainly not perfect, or even “good”. He’s just not a walking disaster anymore.
we have advanced to consistently mediocre
Lol gotcha
Exactly, if he’s not there the finger points at Dan
and Dan isn’t going for that
to quote a famous movie
Buffers, yeah the family had a lot of buffers
There are some parts of the story I doubt, but I’d not be shocked if Bruce gets to be the sacrificial lamb after then next disaster.
He has been there 10 years or so, teams not been good. That’s the run Vinny had.

If that sport sucked less they would red-card anyone who dove.
If the sport had any integrity, they wouldn’t left the refs randomly decide how much time is left in the game.
It’s not random, they supposedly keep a stopwatch. But they need to adapt to modern times and just stop the clock when plays has stopped.
This is a sport where the entire leadership of the governing body was arrested by the FBI and refs have been busted for being corrupt. I’m sure that stopwatch that nobody but them sees is totally accurate.
Flopping is awful in the NBA and in soccer but futbol is a great sport.

Only if Soccer hurt your kids.
I’ve tried to watch World Cup soccer, but I find the game incredibly boring. I told a bunch of soccer fans a couple years ago that the games needed to be shorter, the fields narrower, the goals wider, and that stupid offsides penalty needed to go, and they were hugely offended.
And the nudes of Hope Solo.
I’ll never eat a roast beef sandwich again.
Didn’t see those, thankfully. That girl is a mess, though.
she’s the kind of girl you call when you’re single, after a bad breakup, you call her up about once a month, get out the cheap, rough-around the edges hard whiskey, let her throw you around the room, have her way with you, and then, SHE’s the one who leaves before morning.
Make sure you get a hotel room so she doesn’t know where you live.
I agree that the game is way too slow. It’s a defensive game, and that’s hard to put up with. I think American sensibilities with sports are geared towards high scores
there’s also considerably less strategy than football, even basketball
Less than baseball, too.
I’d argue that no sport has more strategy than Football.
Not sure if Soccer has more or less than basketball.
the strategy in soccer pretty much begins and ends with formation… 442 433 334 343, there’s not that many combos. and then deciding basic stuff like whether to play defense and boom ball. but even Basketball has multiple kinds of zone defenses, called plays (which are mostly limited to set plays like penalty/corner kicks in soccer), you can sub in to match up; which you almost can’t do in soccer because of the severe sub limitations.
please discuss the effect of compression waves on soccer formations.
verbal communication is a compression wave phenomenon
indeed, mike. but i see your lips move ahead of your compression waves hitting my ears. every time. every. time.
no, you don’t. I yell and point without any lip modulation
pointing, sure, but that’s not verbal. yelling, no.
my violent pointing sends off compression waves in ALL directions!
I disagree, There’s several variations of the formations, that are based on what you put above. you will see teams do extra layers having defensive midfielders, attacking midfielders things like that.
there is not as much or as many instances PER game as there are available to you in football, and to a lesser but still meaningful sense, than basketball. that’s my point. you might change strategy a few times a game, call a dozen set plays per game in soccer; in football you might do that almost every play, and in basketball in theory it could be done every possession, though it often isn’t. along that spectrum, soccer is a bit below basketball. but along the spectrum of playing it, you just need a ball and some cones (or similar cheap demarcation) for the most basic version. so it is low bar of entry into the sport. you don’t even need shoes.
goals wider (even slightly) AND no off-sides would do it
maybe some other ways to add strategy to the game, and those two things do that
you could almost make it basketball by getting rid of the goalie… you could have 11 players, but nobody can use their hands… American Rules Soccer!
steve,
i’ve had this “offsides” conversation with lots of soccer fans. they all think i’m crazy. to me it seems like every time something exciting happens, it’s offsides…. imagine if basketball had offsides? it’s nuts.
Yeah, I don’t get it, but to each their own. Their free to watch; I’m free to not watch.
I also agree with the idea that the offside rules are terrible
If I wanted to watch 90 minutes with no scoring, id pop in the video from my prom date.
Baseball is boring af to me
One other thing about soccer…. NFL/NBA/MLB players may be prima donnas in some cases, but they’ve got nothing on these Euro soccer stars – totally unlikable, to me.
Totally agree.

I am not even sold that Bruce is capable enough to get a new stadium done.
Look at the great new stadium he got the Raiders back when he was their GM. Oh wait.
Look at how successful he is at signing franchise pieces. Um. Nope.
Look how happy Richmond is with the training camp. Errr.

“bad moon” is one of the great sports nicknames.

I thought the origin of “Bad Moon” was simply a Chris Berman tag-line, which he was still doing all the time during those years.
Some of my fav’s include but are not limited to:

Chris Fuamatu-Maʻafala – “He’s a baaaaaaaaaaaad Ma-afala!”
Nick “Pontiac” Sundberg.

Reid and Gruden may be great offensive minds but Reid is known to abandon the run when most needed. Gets really cute (mcfade) when just running the ball is necessary. I hope Gruden doesn’t fall into that trap. Playoffs require a running game and stopping the run. Or so it seems…
True, very similar issues.
Jay just ignores the run from the get go
Well when the defense stacks the box on us we don’t have much of a choice. It would be nice to have a RB (or as Alex said, another CT type) who could get us 2 or 3 yards no matter what the defensive front looked like.
We don’t have that.
Yep, power guys don’t do it in this system. But Gruden’s system is great when he finds a speed mismatch underneath.
Gruden still rubs one out to old film of Gio Bernard.
That’s what he wants. Maybe a slightly larger/stronger version of CT.
I know personally my dream setup is a Thunder and Lightning situation, like Ron Dayne and Tiki Barber were for the Giants in the early 2000’s. I don’t get why the Thunder hasn’t worked for us yet
F MARA
Agree.
But nothing wrong with admitting that’s what I’d want to see.
Nick mothetfuggin Chubb
etrod,
i think they try to run a fair amount. they’re just generally bad at it. say what you will about shanny, but i loved his run game. gruden is too predictable with his runs, imo.
Jay has 2 run plays: 22 dive and 22 dive for loss.
ehh I don’t agree. Screen and tosses to the back are the same as the running game. He utilizes the back a lot.
49.27% of all plays called were either runs or passes to a RB.
the running game takes scheme, creativity, and practice… and commitment. from the team

Careful with the family insults!
Pretty lighthearted interview with Gruden on 980. Talked about player evaluation, free agency and if he knew anything about Alex Smith trade. Thinks Alex will transition well into his offense as it’s essentially the same as Reid’s offense. RPO will always be an option but a focal point. Thinks media makes too much out of that….
But nothing earth shattering. He does tend to talk about RB a lot. I think RB on day 1 or 2nd round is a real possibility…
Probably right. There’s a lot of overlap in what Jay Gruden does and what Andy Reid does. Say what you want about their success, but they are arguably 2 of the top offensive minds in the NFL today, especially when it comes to the West Coast coaching tree.
as much as I would love to have an elite running back, offense has not been the problem the last three years
Well last year it was, but that was because 100% of the starters got hurt at some point (except the QB)
But when we keep going 3-and-out our defense is gassed by halftime.
We have a run game no one respects.
That actually hurts our defense.
Even last year when Gruden was calling way more runs, if you are getting 1.6-2.1 ypc in a game, it doesn’t matter if you run it 16 times or 30 times.
That’s true. I don’t think that we will ever be a pound it out grind-it-out rushing team though that takes advantage of that not with Gruden who Whose offense gets people open on every play.
Roger that. I don’t even want us to be that. But the Saints are not a grind-it-out offense either but people damn well respect Kamara and what he can do, even between the tackles, whenever he’s lined up behind Brees and they have to adjust accordingly.
That’s what I’m talking about in terms of a run game people must respect.
Is there a stat to show how often Redskins’ opponents rush 8 or even 9 on us when in obvious run situations?
Seems like whenever we have a 2nd and short, we try to run left and end up losing 2 yards. Every fucking time. No one respects our run game; nor should they I guess.
Woukd love that! I guess the reality is for me anyway, our team needs help on both lines I just tend to favor fixing the defensive line first
That’s partly why I’m in love with the idea of getting another Chris Thompson type.
Embrace what works, have 2 speed guys who are receiving threats. Have them both able to go out on the field at the same time. Either could be in the slot or backfield any time.

So the NFL’s most bland 90’s football team is finally updating their bland 90’s uniforms to something that looks like a bland LATE 90’s look:

They didn’t even have the guts to put those stars the one interesting part of the design, on the outside of the collar, rather, it will be in a place no one can see it.
they do, however have one of the best names in sports
True. But they do nothing interesting with it.
If I had an NFL team named the Titans, I’d have a 50 foot statue of Atlas standing in back of 1 endzone.
I just looked at Jon Hankins Twitter feed and every tweet had 1000 replies from Redskins fans begging him to sign.
Is this what we have become?
What’s wrong with tweeting?
-Trump
Skins fans are like TLC, we ain’t to proud to beg but we’re acting like Scrubs chasing waterfalls
True
And I was all for Left Eye setting Andre Rison’s house on fire!
Andre “Bad Moon” Rison
“bad moon” is one of the great sports nicknames.
Thunder Dan
I smoked a joint with him and Tom Gugliatta in Georgetown circa 2001. One of the girls we were with ran a tanning salon on Grace St. and Dan wanted to go tan. Shocking, I know.
I smoked a joint with Woodie Harrelson in Seattle in 2001.
That was at Seattle Hemp Fest. I also think I was slipped crack in a joint at one point there, which wasn’t cool. Nothing like someone passing you something then telling you it’s laced with crack. Spent the next hour hiding in a garage.
I’m so old that I remember him being that hot prospect from Michigan State… playing in a bowl game. Watched it (the bowl game) on a 13″ color TV. yeah. I had that kind of scratch in HS… to have a 13″ color TV WITH cable in my bedroom. straight gangster.
HDS
want to make it clear that he’s “wanted” here?
tangentially related: so glad we got alex smith.
Those were all Dan Snyder’s sock puppets.
Just an FYI,
I deleted the whole Scamp vs DC fight. Attacking each others families, crosses a line for me.
Childish. Was hoping classless wouldnt migrate…
“crosses a line”? ok. fine. what now? tossing around insults, aimed at specific commenters, like “bitches”, “douche” and “tampon”…. well… i guess that’s what internet tough guys do. it’s sad, and a giant fun-suck.
I am against censorship.
You are a tampon.
In a good way
Lol
There’s also a time and place for uncivil discourse. This Blog is a great forum for having heated debates over issues. Personal (and fucking vulgar) insults are not necessary and don’t add to debate of the issues, IMO.
I understand that believe me I do. But I’d rather know who we’re dealing with up here wouldn’t you?
Any form of censorship of things is not a call either Steve or I make lightly, We’ve talked each other out of taking actions more often than not. Nothing up here is removed with out him and I discussing it first.
We tend to leave Sean out of it because if he had his way, all you dicks would be suspended by now.
alex,
if only there were some easily-identifiable commonality to all the blog “fights”.
There is.
Religion and Politics.
alex,
yes, and…..
Yes, yes, we know, you and Scamp secretly want to ___k each other
Well, fudge him, then!
Alex, I understand what you are doing and why you feel the need to do it especially with regard to other readers and what their thoughts must be. I’m just saying as a general principle I am against all forms of censorship. Alex I am offended now by the way, I didn’t know I was a dick. LOL just kidding my friend
What did I miss? Your momma’s so fat cracks?
Yo momma is so hairy…Bigfoot takes pictures of HER!
^There’s truth in that statement. However, forums that allow that type of discourse could certainly dissuade new bloggers from participating (not that I’ve seen any new ones since migrating over here).
That’s very true. And I understand why Alex and Steve I mean mister Steve, feel the need to do this.
Are you bringing (in) any weapons?
No
Then you’re not changing anything.
The pen is mightier than the sword… so long the one with the most powerful swords is the one with the pen.
Write that down.
Pretty sad. Attacking unknowns on a blog is some serious loser shit…
I think those two secretly like each other and this is them being frustrated they can’t display their true feelings for each other.
I don’t get that feeling at all. Nope.
Sometimes the yin and yang fight, but there’s a magic completeness there waiting to be fulfilled.
And then you’ve got those with irreconcilable differences, irreconcilable philosophies, incompatible ideas. And those who are debaters… debating against people who are black and white thinkers. Communication is nearly as impossible as the incompatible approaches.
Morning folks. Taylor being able to actually hit the field would be a feather in the cap for sure. 50/50 ?
Wonder how that dinner went with Guice last nite. Hopefully robust and well…
FWIW…Philly averaged 4.5 yds a carry last year on a whopping 473 carries…and averaged better still a whopping 6.1 yards a carry and 164 yards rushing in the Super Bowl. Dont be fooled by ‘its a passing league’…..
I watched the 1992 Nebraska vs Colorado game this weekend. It is widely acknowledged as the breakout game where the Empire that ran until 1998 began. And Neb ran out of the I, but you see all kinds of creativity in it, and wholllllly **** that (expletive expletive) FB? It’s glorious to watch that FB shoot through like a missile and destroy the NT along with the C. And when I say destroy, i don’t mean a cheap shot low block, I mean he and the C have him up high and he gets knocked back like he was shot with a 44. Like he got speared in the WWE, and then, they each take out a LB on the next level. And then, you know the Other is done. Soul taken, back broken when the FB bursts through the line and takes it to the house from 50 yards out. That when the Other’s defense has decided they aren’t tackling anymore. That’s when your defense is on the sidelines pinning their ears back, waiting to get on the field, knowing they’re about to have some fun.
And the thing is, when you see who Colorado had on that team… it was almost like an all-star team. So many future NFL players on that team.
You can go a long way when you 1) practice your scheme with the baseline of perfection, not the other team; 2) have schemes that maximize your talent available and 3) prepare to win in the off-season.
Yes..Fournette and the Jags got it done on the ground as well.. 527 carries. Kamara and NO rush game w a 4.7 yd per carry avg. I think RBs are moving back up the importance totem pole. As they should.
Happy Wednesday!
Happah Happah!
Phil
I can’t believe Taylor hasn’t played in 4 years. That’s insane for a DT or any position…good luck!
I can’t believe he’s still getting jobs.
It shows how hard it is 2 find decent nose tackles
Yeah
or, how de-emphasized it is because stereotypical “NTs” don’t play very many downs
Do not come to me at the beginning of next season and tell me he is penciled in as a starter.
I see DC and Scamp are in mid season form…dayum
Nasim Najafi Aghdam.
Scrolling down. C’mon guys!

The Rams have lured Barry Sanders out of retirement .
Superbowl
On paper they are about as strong as any NFL team can be , this day and age . Gonna be interesting to see how it plays out .
Yeah
http://img.gawkerassets.com/post/4/2013/03/12.gif
did we sign Hankins yet?
The Rams want him.
Lol
The Rams traded the rest of their draft picks to Roger Goodell for his rights
Bryce Harper gets more ass than toilet paper.
More butt than ashtrays.
So much ass they call him an asstronaut.
ewww
His wife’s a 10
that’s the kind of thing young guys do
a guy who’s been around the marriage block wouldn’t marry a 10. yes, she’d be attractive and younger, but she’d also be organized and together, no daddy issues. That way you’re not searching to escape her on nights and weekends other than the 1-2 time a week she feels the call of the wild and the pool boy isn’t around. I’ve seen it a hundred times.
Two exceptions. The unicorn exception. And the late bloomer chick that becomes a 10 later in life.
The Unicorn? We talking a 3rd woman mixed into the relationship who has sex with both partners?
As far as the Rams….the beauty of the NFL is that you still gotta play the games. I remember the Redskins looked good on paper many years after free agency only to go 5-11 or 6-10.
Curious to see how Suh pans out on his one year deal.
the Rams think they can replicate what the Eagles did
but part of what the Eagles were able to do was impacted by their scheduling and the fall of the Redskins and Giants to injuries. they got an easy +1 by playing the Redskins in the Skins 5th preseason game. And still needed a luck play from Wentz to separate. The Skins DL dominated their OL in that game.
Nationals bombed Tehran.
Cole couldn’t be sunk.
He’s some trash
He had a HR, but he still sucks.
Harper goes yard again.
until Harper puts the team on his back in October, color me skeptical. And the Nats are always going to have to be a build-within program until the MASN thing is worked out with Balmer.
I like how everyone is praising the Rams for their moves this off season but if it was the skins FO making these moves they would be saying how disfunctional they are.
Those guys are playing with fire over there… going all in to make LA love them before the new stadium is built.
Could be the gold standard… or a YUGE disaster
I’m hoping it’s a Yuge disaster. They don’t have a pick this draft until 87.
I like McVay… but can’t stand that owner or Wade Phillips.
So I would be okay with either I guess…
I like him also, but I think he’s going to be fired if he can’t produce with all of these additions.
I see Douche_Clown is STILL the expert in everything including things that others have personally experienced but he has only read about.
Hey guys.. it’s tax season… and Douche_Clown is the tax EXPERT!!! Get your free advice on how to do your taxes… if you want to go to Federal tax prison
he’s been a screeching hysterical windbag much of the day .
Maybe you can get him to give you some more FEMA advice

You seem to have a lot of childrens pictures handy…
Look at you two little bitches squawking! LOL
Don’t go cry to your blog mommy again… we know you love to tattle.
You have an active fantasy life, don’t ya?
We all know you owned up to hitting the report button on the last blog and writing the blog handlers their because you had you little vag all sandy from getting made fun of. Do you really think we’d believe you’ve changed? Only bitches around here are you and your tampon Walter
I wrote the Post to get unbanned one time. And sure, reported many of your completely inappropriate posts like the ones above. Because you are a huge asshole.
I’m still a huge asshole to little bitches like you…
Now go cry to your blog mommy again you whiny little pussy.
Fuck off, punk.
Pussy
And this is why you deserve to be reported. Because this is how every conversation with you goes.
Yea… you’re better. Only difference is you’re a pussy with zero brain cells.
Pussy
Good God…
Call people bitches and then cry when it comes back… good Lord you are one pussy ass loser
blah blah blah. You’re a child in a child’s body.
Your a fat old man in a retards body

Another self portrait. That’s a picture of you writing out your report email to WaPo…

Less than five minutes to the “I know you are but what am I!” Not a record but pretty good.
By 5 minutes do you mean 2 or 7?
OHHHH SNAP!! Good one!! LOL
Turned your face red
Yeah … that really hurt.

Now teenagers…
Bet that guy is way better at math than you… and he’s clearly not even out of high school yet
Amazing what comes out after shouting at an eight-year-old for a few minutes. I’ll leave you to your level.
You’re just mad your wife fathered kids with everyone else in your neighborhood except you.
She did everyone a favor.
Now go fill her water dish
Yes, that level. Have fun.
More fun than you will. I know you’re in for a long night of scrubbing the Cheetoh stains and skid marks out of your tighty whitties.
Here… wait a few minutes and I’ll send your wife home with some Vagisil
Eight year olds think you’re immature. How fucked up is your poor kid going to be?
At least my wife would have kids with me… yours knew better.
What a mistake she made, right? Society will suffer as a result.
No… your wife did the right thing. Any spawn of yours would have hooves and 3 brain cells.
I guess that would be an improvement on your blood line.
Wow….Nats Pitcher AJ. Cole hits a HR.
What happened to boxing?
Me and my boys watched the Hagler vs. Hearns fight from ’85 this past weekend. 8 minutes of HELL! One of the greatest fights in history.
I still think Hagler beat Leonard.
Meh…Ray beat him on points, but not decisive enough to take the belt.
I’m a Sugar Ray fan and Hagler definitely won that fight
The golden days of boxing are most definitely gone…
AUSTIN — U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke raised more than $6.7 million during the first fundraising quarter of the year, a larger haul than any U.S. Senate candidate in modern Texas history, without adjusting for inflation.
All without donations from PACs, Special Interests, or Corporations. 141,000 individual donations, averaging to $47 per donation. Dude knows how to run a campaign.
The Redskins haven’t had 2 first round picks since 2000.
Samuels, Arrington.
At the time I thought we were bringing in 2 future HOF’ers. Samuels was solid. Arrington, to me, was a let down. Not a total bust, but definitely let me down.
Every Redskins 2017 draft pick was on the active roster at some point during the season.
https://cdn.drawception.com/images/panels/2012/12-3/9QFFnDNhG1-14.png
Teams giving away picks…paying fully guaranteed contracts….rarely works.
Was it a net zero for the pats in what they traded to get cooks versus what they got from trading him?
What did they give again?
Leased him for the Superbowl, trading in for the rebuild. Can’t remember what they gave.
Last against the run
29th in yards per carry
DL in the first
OL in the second
Amen!
That guy is fragile – rg
At this point, I’m rooting for the Rams to go down in flames.
As Redskins fans, we should be aware of how this type of off season ends.
The Rams are trying to emulate the 2017 Eagles but they are going to end up like the 2011 Eagles
I don’t see any reason they shouldn’t be a powerhouse for the next few years. If they blow up it’ll be because they can’t sustain all these contracts more than a few years.
We shall see.
https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/981287566019309571
Fucking Rams are all in.
It’s gonna be a spectacular disaster.
Beautiful disaster?
– 311
Good trade by the Rams, IMO. I don’t think there’s a WR as good as Cooks in this draft.
7-9
It’s getting to the point that the Rams need to win the SuperBowl or the GM and McVey are going to get canned.
Anything the team gets from Phil is a bonus
Gravy?
I didn’t put this in the article, because it seemed overly negative, but he hasn’t played in a regular season game since November, 2014.
While that might be accurate, he was back in football shape and actually playing at a high level until ripping his quad. He put in a ton of work to get back on the field and I am heartened that the team believes he’s going to get himself back to that level of preparedness again.
I expect nothing, however. But I am pulling for the dude. (sorry).
Oh, I agree, I’m rooting for him, too; I just hope it works out. Can’t imagine this is anything other than non-guaranteed min salary, so it’s basically no risk.
I’m sure.
Taylor, Hankins, Allen, Ioanidis, Lanier and Vea/Payne.
That DL rotation would wreck shit.
Hankins?
BWAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! Maybe Santa will deliver him riding the Easter Bunny.
Unlikely he’ll give us much, but he was looking really good before he got hurt last year.
One voice of sanity remaining.

What a moron to suggest the Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces cannot direct them to protect our border.
TDS!
Moron.
The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878 by President Rutherford B. Hayes. The purpose of the act – in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807 – is to limit the powers of the federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States. It was passed as an amendment to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act
You are a fucking idiot and you are always wrong.
If the President wants our military to protect our border, that’s national security you retarded blob, not local law enforcement.
You are dumber than a box of wet dog shit.
Fail.
First of all, there are exceptions to Posse Comitatus, and second, this is Trump just talking, so relax.
If Trump is serious, the right thing to do would be to federalize some Army National Guard infantry units, which is legal.
Yeah, that’s…you know….military.
^Good point.
Whoever Jon-Christopher Bua is clearly doesn’t really understand.
Ah…Clinton appointee and Huffington Post blogger. No wonder.
He was certainly correct with respect to the regular military. There is no exception that would apply. And Trump didn’t say anything about calling up the reserves. Also, the exception for the National Guard only applies if requested and directed by the state government, so that’s not in Trump’s control.
Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong. I love it when people try to argue with me about the military.
Not wrong at all.
“KEY EXCEPTIONS TO THE POSSE COMITATUS ACT
A summary of key exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act follows:3
• National Guard forces operating under the state authority of Title
32 (i.e., under state rather than federal service) are exempt from
Posse Comitatus Act restrictions.”
I guess I didn’t spend 24 years of my adult life in uniform, and I guess I didn’t grow up as a kid as the son of a military officer. Dude, stop while you’re ahead. You really don’t know what you’re talking about. You have zero idea about how the active duty, reserves, and national guard works either by law or by practical reality. Just stop. Please. It’s embarrassing.
I guess your personal history has nothing whatsoever to do with the FACT that the National Guard is considered part of the military for purposes of Posse Comitatus when under federal control. So say the courts.
https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/p/posse-comitatus-act-and-related-matters-a-sketch.html
You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.
While Posse Comitatus does not specifically apply to the actions of the National Guard, National Guard regulations stipulate that its troops, unless authorized by Congress, are not to take part in typical law enforcement actions including arrests, searches of suspects or the public, or evidence handling.
National Guard troops have assisted the border patrol under W and Obama, but only in a support role and directed by the governors of border states.
See, I keep stating facts and you keep spouting nonsense.
No, you keep quoting Wikipedia, but you have no real understanding about how it works, how the active duty military, the guard, or the reserves actually operate. I’ve done it. Sending troops to do border security isn’t a big deal, even though you want it to be because the anti-Christ Donald Trump spouted off about it today.
You’ve sent troops off to guard the border? Right!
Multiple presidents have sent troops to do border security, including fairly recently. This isn’t new to Donald Trump. I know Bush did it, for example. The true intent of Posse Comitatus is to keep active duty military from doing domestic law enforcement, not border security, and even then, a limited number of units can operate in very limited circumstances. There are a couple of hoops to jump through, but border security is easily done. And listen, nobody’s talking about sending an active duty infantry unit down there – they are much to scarce for that. Also, this is just Trump talking off the top of his head. But sending some troops to help with border security isn’t cause for a constitutional crisis.
“Operating within the limitations of the Posse Comitatus Act, and as acknowledged by the Obama administration, National Guard troops deployed to the Mexican Border States will, as directed by the states’ governors, support the Border Patrol and state and local law enforcement agencies by providing surveillance, intelligence gathering, and reconnaissance support.”
Trump needs to stop talking…and tweeting.
