The Redskins 25-Year Report Card
April 17, 2018
by Steve Thomas
Since my last column was a comparison of the Bruce Allen and Vinny Cerrato eras (click here to read), and, frankly, we’re in a slow news week, it seemed like the right time to tackle something I’ve been thinking about for a long time: how have the Redskins objectively stacked up against the rest of the NFL in the recent and long-term past? It’s going to come as no surprise to anyone who hasn’t been in coma for the past 25 years that this franchise has not seen much success during that time. The real question is how far down the list of awful the team really resides. Are the Redskins truly bottom-barrel dreck, or is the fanbase just being overly negative? Let’s find out, in as objective a fashion as possible.
We’re going to evaluate the team in comparison to the rest of the NFL over three separate time periods: since the first retirement of Joe Gibbs prior to the 1993 season, the Dan Snyder era, and the ongoing tenure of Jay Gruden as head coach.
I don’t mean this to be a downer of a column, but the numbers are what they are, so stay with me.
1993 – 2017
Since the retirement of Joe Gibbs after the 1992 season, a full year removed from the Redskins’ last Super Bowl on January 26, 1992, the team has posted a combined, cumulative regular season record of 168 – 230 – 2. The 168 wins is ranked 27th in the NFL, with the following teams being the only franchises that have fewer victories:
28: Rams (166)
29: Jaguars (165)
30: Lions (161)
31: Browns (111)
32: Texans (110)
The Texans, of course, are last only because the franchise came into existence in 2002. For those who are curious, the Patriots (273), Steelers (254), Packers (252), Broncos (238), and Colts (229) are the top 5. The Eagles, the Cowboys, and the Giants have all won significantly more games than Washington, at 221 (ranked 6th), 220 (ranked 7th), and 205 (ranked 12th), respectively.
The Redskins have a .423 winning percentage over that same time period, which is ranked 28th, ahead of only the Raiders (.420), Rams (.416), Lions (.403), and Browns (.315). Leading the pack are the Patriots (.683), Steelers (.636), Packers (.631), Broncos (.595), and Colts (.573).
The Redskins have played regular 170 games against opponents that had a winning record for the season (tied for 21st), winning 50, for a winning percentage of .297, which is ranked 21st.
The Redskins have played a total of 7 playoff games from 1993 – 2017, which is tied for 31st in the NFL with the Texans and Bengals. Only the Browns have played fewer, with just 3. New England, (44), Green Bay (38), Pittsburgh (35), Indianapolis (29), and Philadelphia (26) lead the NFL. NFC East rivals Dallas and the Giants come in at 10th (20 games) and 12th (19 games), respectively. 22 different teams have played in a Super Bowl over that time span. 26 teams have played in a conference championship game, not including Washington, Houston, Miami, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Detroit.
The Redskins scored 8,018 points in the regular season from 1993 – 2017, which is ranked 23rd, ahead of the Jets (7,857), Cardinals (7,838), Bears (7,767), Panthers (7,732), Bucs (7,553), Ravens (7,547), Jaguars (7,501), Browns (5,993), and Texans (5,228). The Patriots (10,173), Packers (10,094), Broncos (9,694), Saints (9,354), and Colts (9,350) led the NFL in points scored over that time period.
Defensively, the Redskins have surrendered a total of 8,898 points in the regular seasons from 1993 – 2017, which is 24th in the NFL, ahead of the Colts (8,926), Bengals (9,016), Falcons (9,069), Cardinals (9,195), Saints (9,316), Raiders (9,322), Rams (9,374), and Lions (9,439)
The Redskins combined point differential over this time is -880, which is 26th, ahead of the Cincinnati (-947), Detroit (-1,117), Rams (-1,185), Raiders (1,194), Cardinals (1,357), and Browns (1,889).
In summary:
Wins: 27th
Winning %: 28th
Winning % against
Tms w/ winning rcds 21st
# of playoff gms: 31st
Points for: 23rd
Points against: 24th
Point differential: 26th
AVERAGE: 25.7
In other words, the Redskins have basically stunk. Not a novel thought. As you can see, the average of these rankings is 25.7, meaning that by these measures, Washington has been roughly the 25th ranked team in the NFL. As I mentioned, one variance to these numbers is that the Texans are an expansion team that came into existence in the 2002 season, so the accumulating stats – everything except winning percentage – are not accurate with regard to Houston. In reality, then, the Redskins should probably be ranked slightly lower than the Texans if evaluated on a per season basis.
The Dan Snyder Era
Dan Snyder purchased the Redskins prior to the 1999 season. During his leadership, the Redskins have won 132 regular season games, which is tied with Buffalo for 26th in the NFL, ahead of Jacksonville (130), Oakland (122), Detroit (113), Houston (110), Cleveland (88). Much like the 1993 – 2017 data, the Texans get a pass on the accumulating stats since they came into existence in 2002. The NFL leaders were the Patriots (222), Steelers (194), Colts (193), Packers (186), and Eagles (177). The Cowboys have won 158 games since 1999, ranked 10th, and the Giants have won 156 games, ranked 12th.
Over that same time period, the Redskins earned a .436 winning percentage, which was 26th in the NFL, ahead of Buffalo (.434), Houston (.430), Jacksonville (.428), Oakland (.401), Detroit (.372), and Cleveland (.289). The NFL leaders were the Patriots (.730), Pittsburgh (.640), Indianapolis (.635), Green Bay (.613), and Philadelphia (.584).
The Redskins have played 132 regular season games against opponents that had a winning record for the season (tied for 20th), winning 40, for a winning percentage of .303, which is ranked 20th.
The Redskins have played 7 playoff games in the Dan Snyder era, which is tied for 29th. The only teams that have played fewer playoff games are Detroit, Buffalo, and Cleveland. Washington has won just 2 of those 7 playoff games, which is tied for 28th ahead of Kansas City (1), Cincinnati (0), Detroit (0), Buffalo (0), and Cleveland (0). At the other end of the spectrum are the Patriots (37 games played), Steelers (25), Colts (25), Seahawks (24), and Green Bay (24). Unsurprisingly, the Patriots have also won the most playoff games, at 27. 19 teams have played in at least one Super Bowl during this time, and 23 have played in at least one conference championship game.
The Dan Snyder Redskins have scored 6,132 points, which is ranked 23rd, ahead of the Jaguars (6,115), Bills (6,095), Cardinals (6,094), Dolphins (6,056), Bears (6,048), Jets (6,047), Bucs (5,993), Texans (5,228), and Browns (5,060). The Patriots (8,166), Packers (7,682), Saints (7,599), Colts (7,583), and Eagles (7,262) lead the NFL.
Over this period, the Redskins have allowed 6,760 points, also ranked 23rd, ahead of Atlanta (6,839), Tennessee (6,847), San Francisco (6,873), Cleveland (7,015), the Rams (7,078), Arizona (7,083), New Orleans (7,193), Oakland (7,269), and Detroit (7,417). The NFL leaders were the Ravens (5,558), Steelers (5,564), Patriots (5,679), Texans (5,831), and the Seahawks (6,134).
The Redskins earned a -628 point differential during this period, which was ranked 26th in the league ahead of Buffalo (-631), San Francisco (-674), Arizona (-989), Oakland (-1050), Detroit (-1173), and Cleveland (-1955). The league leaders were the Patriots (+2,487), Steelers (+1,417), Packers (+1,254), Eagles (1,035), and Ravens (1,023).
In summary:
Wins: 26th
Winning %: 26th
Winning % against
Tms w/ winning rcds 20th
# of playoff gms: 29th
Points for: 23rd
Points against: 23rd
Point differential: 26th
AVERAGE: 24.7
This data shows that the Dan Snyder Redskins have essentially been just as bad as the 1999 – 2017 teams, which isn’t surprising, averaging 24.7 over the evaluated time period. Once again, the Texans throw the accumulating statistics off, so the Redskins would most likely fall about a point if evaluated on a pro rata basis to account for the three non-existing Texans seasons.
The Jay Gruden Era
Under the leadership of head coach Jay Gruden, who’s been with the team since 2014, the Redskins have played 64 regular season games and posted a record of 28 – 35 – 1, which is tied for 21st in the NFL by number of wins. The top 5 teams over this period by this measure are the Patriots (51), Steelers (45), Chiefs (42), Seahawks (41), and Packers, Panthers, Cardinals, and Vikings having earned 39 wins. The Cowboys are next with 38 wins, and the Giants are 25th with 26 wins.
The Redskins are also 21st when measured by winning percentage, which is .445 during the Gruden era. Tampa (.344), Jacksonville (.328), San Francisco (.328), Chicago (.297), and Cleveland bring up the rear (.172). The NFL leaders are the Patriots (.797), Steelers (.703), Chiefs (.656), and Seattle (.648), with the Panthers and Cardinals tied at .617.
The Redskins have played 28 regular season games against opponents that had a winning record for the season (tied for 26th), winning 6, for a winning percentage of .214, which is ranked 25th. As is the case for seemingly every stat, the Patriots are ranked 1st in the NFL by this statistic, winning .724 percent of their games against teams with winning records (29 games, 21 wins). The Browns are the worst in the NFL by this measure (and most other measures), with 2 wins in 35 games, for a .057 winning percentage.
Jay Gruden’s Redskins have played one playoff game, which is tied for 21st. New England (11), Green Bay (7), Seattle (7), Pittsburgh (7), and Carolina (6) lead the NFL in number of playoff games from 2014 – 2017. During this time period, 12 different teams have played in a conference championship games, and 6 teams have played in a Super Bowl.
As an aside, all of these teams except Carolina have played as many or in the case of New England, more, playoff games in just this four year period than the Redskins have played in 25 years. Cheers everyone.
Washington has scored 1,427 points over the past 4 regular seasons, which is ranked 17th in the NFL. The bottom five are Tennessee (1,268), the Jets (1,243), Chicago (1,197), San Francisco (1,184), and Cleveland (1,075). To the surprise of no one, the Patriots lead the NFL by this statistic with 1,832 points, followed by the Saints (1,726), Eagles (1,675), Steelers (1,664), and Falcons (1,613).
The Redskins have surrendered 1,588 points under Gruden’s leadership, which is good for 27th place, ahead of the 49ers (1,590), Titans (1,595), Raiders (1,609), Browns (1,631), and Saints (1,680). The NFL leaders in this statistic over this time frame are the Seahawks (1,155), Patriots (1,174), Vikings (1,204), Chiefs (1,218), and Bengals (1,287).
The Redskins are 23rd in the NFL in point differential between 2014 and 2017, at -161. The NFL leaders are the Patriots (+658), Seahawks (+382), Chiefs (+344), Steelers (+342), and Eagles (+219). The Raiders (-280), Titans (-327), Bears (-361), 49ers (-406), and Browns (-556) bring up the rear.
In summary:
Wins: 21st
Winning %: 21st
Winning % against
Tms w/ winning rcds 25th
# of playoff gms: 21st
Points for: 17th
Points against: 27th
Point differential: 23rd
AVERAGE: 22.1
Conclusion
The obvious conclusion here, which isn’t exactly earthshattering, is that the Redskins haven’t been very good for most of a generation. Take a look at the Redskins rankings for each era, side by side:
1993 – 2017 Dan Snyder era Jay Gruden era
Wins: 27th 26th 21st
Winning %: 28th 26th 21st
Winning %/winning
records 21st 20th 25th
# of playoff gms: 31st 29th 21st
Points for: 23rd 23rd 17th
Points against: 24th 23rd 27th
Point differential: 26th 26th 23rd
AVERAGE: 25.7 24.7 22.1
What should jump out at you from this comparison chart is that Gruden’s teams have been noticeably better across the board in all categories except points against, meaning, defense. This jives with the eye test, which is that Jay is a strong offensive coach who has done little to fix or improve the defense. It’s worth noting that a 4 year timeframe is not really a big enough sample to be statistically relevant enough to compare to either 19 or 25 years, but it’s the best we can do for these purposes. Also, I’d guess without analyzing it that Joe Gibbs’ second stint as head coach would have similar or better numbers as does Jay’s period. Nonetheless, it is an indication to me that by Redskins standards Jay is on the right track, at least offensively. Overall, though, the numbers bear out that the Redskins have been roughly a bottom 8 – 10 team over the past two and a half decades, sadly. Let’s hope that when I write this column again after another 25 years, things will have turned for the better.

It’s winning off the field Wednesday, (on a Thursday)
What is more “winning off the field” for the Skins this week?
Story A from yesterday about Dan Snyder sending an autograph to a fan
https://twitter.com/dcsportsbog/status/986954992450981888
Story B from this morning the survey says Bruce Allen is a giant asshole
https://twitter.com/usatodaynfl/status/986942589910900736
I could not care less about either
You don’t care that our GM is considered unprepared and Is not respected amongst his peers?
Given our record under Allen I think its totally noteworthy and relevant.
If it ain’t about guards, greg don’t care
“Scherff’s agent decided he’d rather get something done with a front office and team that he felt comfortable with, so in the end Allen’s tactics and reputation cost the team the all pro guard.”
2020 headline – does that get Greg’s attention?
You mean that fake headline?
That only works on libs
The Snyder Story is just funny.
The Bruce Allen story, re-enforces the “why can’t you just fire the no talent ass clown?”
Amen!!
The Snyder story IS really funny
He looks like a slick salesman…not trustworthy at all..
stirring the pot……
Hamster reaction after the schedule release..

Interesting that John Elway was 3rd least trusted Exec behind Allen
#’s 2 and 3 on the “worst” column of CBA poll……………..no shit, lol
i would not trust bruce allen to change a $20 bill.
Frequently referred to as, “a snake.”
Amen!
ramen!
It’s the “lack of preparation” part that really bothers me- far more so than the “trustworthiness”.
It’s all of him to me. BA hasn’t improved our team. Time to go.
He not going aniwere nuthing to cee hear
-Fluonder
Amen!
Bruce, the gift that keeps on giving
Washington’s Bruce Allen is the NFL executive that player agents trust the least in contract negotiations.
That’s the word from a poll of 25 agents conducted by USA Today, which found that Allen ranks dead last in how much trust he engenders from the folks on the other side of the table in contract talks.
Just ask the FBI.

Shocking.
Our FO is fine! Leave them alone.
-Flounder
The piece in which it’s suggested that the starting LG is already on the roster is a serious piece of convoluted bull crap
Arie is in no way starting material nor backup material either
He simply cannot nor will he learn to pick up a stunting DL
He stays with the guy he was blocking and gives the stunting dL a free path to the qb
The Tampa Bay Times announced that it would cut about 50 jobs after new tariffs imposed by the Trump administration dramatically increased the cost of newsprint.
A spokeswoman for the Times confirmed the layoffs to the Tampa Bay Business Journal, saying they are directly in response to the tariffs imposed on newsprint imported from Canada.
So much winning.
cause printing newspapers is such a growth industry in the US

awesome. hilarious.
Alright. Hi Five.
don’t leave me hanging.
You got a question, you ask the 8 ball
Feels like an Arby’s night…
Positional value is one reason why you generally don’t want to take a RB high in the draft. The beauty of the draft is that you can get good players cheaper than you would be able to get them in free agency. Stands to reason that the cheaper it is to fill a position in FA, the less sense it makes to fill it with a high draft pick.
Average of the top 10 cap its by position for 2018:
1. QB: $25.5M
2. EDGE: $16M
3. IDL: $14.1M
4. CB: $13.7M
5. OT: $13.3M
6. WR: $12.9M
7. IOL: $11M
8. LB: $10.8M
9. S: $10.2M
10. TE: $9.5M
11. RB: $7.1M
12. K: $4.1M
13. P: $2.9M
1-5 should spell it out.
Not 6 or 9
This is just your very basic ideology, “God like” players can change the structure.
Amen!
above kicker and punter…. got that going for them. how about long snappers?
Here’s the problem with that.
Pardon the used car analogy.
If you are buying used cars, the ones with the really really high depreciation look like a real bargain. Sometimes they can be, but usually there is a reason. Durability (trucks/truck-like vehicles), and reliability matter. Sure, every car depreciates in reality because a lot of people dump them before an expensive service (and their service contract (lux brands) / warranty have run out) having fully depreciated the tires, brakes, sparkplugs, suspension, etc. Well, RBs really are driven hard. They’re the sportscar coming off lease that the reseller does nothing do. It’d be like buying an electric sportscar with 90,000 miles on it, horrific depreciation. If you want to get the best 5-6 years out of it, you buy the used truck and the new electric sportscar.
If you don’t know how to value a used car……..stick to your Mazda lease
Only 8 more years of payments and that 5 year old Mazda will be mine!
🙂 and the State feels it’s worth every bit of it!
Yeah, there’s some truth to that. Fact is, a lot of the best RBs are cheap *because* they’re on rookie deals. You could make the argument that the only way to get a “fresh” RB is to draft one.
High round running backs are a niche. You need to time that. Dalvin Cook may be that guy, this year.
I’d still avoid taking one at 13 unless Barkley inexplicably slides. After him I think there are 3-4 guys who are similarly talented (Guice, Michel, Chubb, Jones, Penny).
Right. “That guy”, or refer to the order.
Very good point.
Five of top 5 paid RBs made playoffs. 4 of top 5 made Conference Championship game.
Neither of the teams who played in the SB had a RB who was in the top 10.
Dion Lewis was 10th site Im looking at..this will change after this draft anyway
Right, I missed him because he’s now listed as a Titan. 🙂 And he wasn’t in the top 10 last year.
My bad. Freeman didnt make champ game this year…but last year
IOW, if you draft an edge guy high and he plays really well, you’re basically getting him at $10M discount to what you’d have paid on the free agent market. OTOH, if you get a RB and he plays really well, you’re getting him at market value, or maybe a few million below market.
I’m declaring Kinder Joy the next big thing.
Chocolate candy…with a different toy in everyone.

re stormy daniels’ “thug” sketch:
Thanks to the Internet, Tom Brady is having a very Stormy day
Have you seen that man?
Plenty of people on the Internet think they have — and they’ve decreed that the man in the sketch has nothing to do with any alleged threats against Stormy Daniels, the adult-film star who alleges an affair with Donald Trump years before he ran for president. Rather, they see a certain NFL quarterback, one often regarded as the greatest of all time. Guy with five Super Bowl rings. Supermodel wife.
That’s right: Tom Brady.
I don’t see the resemblance…

I think I know that guy. I think he was one of the guests at the Last Supper.
Mind picking him out of a lineup?
my memory from that night is a bit hazy.
great humus and bread, but the peyote was off the chain (that was the after party)
“it’s getting hard, remembering…” – Stormy
“You sho got that right…” – Detective and sketch artist (in unison)
claims he lost his cup at the party. apparently lots of people are looking for it.
would have to be tough to be Brady. chicks of unfathomable hotness throwing themselves at you all the time.
Geisel must be his soul mate

Where’s our countdown?
Yea Alex. Where’s that countdown to the draft clock everyone asked about that you promised to put on the page?
Where’s our Hankins?

Sssshhhhhh! He’s thinking!……..damn!
There is a running backs show today.
Its a repeat but some folk need to watch no doubt. 🙂
Luck for us, you’ve got the draft board all figured out.
Not really. Im just thinking BPAs….Guice. James. Edmunds early imo. I got the last 3 1st rounders right tho.
I wouldnt be that upset w a lot of others 1st choice picks either really…just thinking the Highest Impact player at 1 vs ‘need’ …which is there later more so than earlier.
You picked Jon Allen would be drafted by the Redskins?
Well when he fell. Absolutey. Who didnt ? Kendall Fuller too.
If Barkley falls ..are we gonna pass ? No
“got the last 3 1st rounders right tho.”
Well I was hoping for TJ Watt…you right I suppose.
I was just wondering…
So I guess ‘technically’ speaking…
Umhmm
For real…:)
I remember folk saying he was a ‘reach’ in 1st round. Like ‘reaches’ this year and every year.
Didnt want WR 1st pick but if so Doctson was my choice…
Was reaching for Jarron Reed and Andrew Billings in ’15 fwiw..Billings hasnt panned out yet in Cincy.

Kansas. Where you had better close the blinds and be under the sheets to have sex or risk being arrested.
And if you’re caught having premarital sex, they’ll frign stone your ass.
There’s no place like home?
More : Tandler on twitter ( if Giants draft Barkley).. ” I like Guice but he is not close to Zeke/Barkley level.”
and this…..’ Guice is like bringing a knife to a gunfight’…compared to Barkley/Zeke
Push for Dline 1st pick but leave out these kind of takes….they are straight up outlandish
Give me Guice ALL DAY over Zeke. Zeke nowhere near the tackle breaker Guice is. Skins need shoe lace tackle breakers…Period.
Very much looking forward to one day having our draft slots in the at least late 20’s of each round.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=M_WxtBP4ePs
I agree w a lot of takes JP Finley and Tandler throw out…however yesterday JP w this in an arricle : “A popular misconception exists that the Redskins need to invest in the RB position to run the ball better. Its not correct.”
It is more than correct. BYOB. Bring your own block. Regardless of the Oline Skins definately need this RB. Guice and Johnson for beginners bring these attibutes like them or not. Not sure why JP makes this lame take…
he’s stealing my stuff. the Redskins have a lot more to do than just draft a RB to improve the running game
Just noticed that the prudey blog mom took down a perfectly good tease of boobies that didn’t show any boobies.
From yesterday?
Yep
turrible.
NFL Draft 7 DAYS: 12 HOURS: 26 MINUTES:
Morning folks. Catching up on takes…
I see Albert Breer w the CB/Ward from OSU to Skins at 13…Well Mayfield ate up OSU to the tune of 386 yards. He had 1 pass breakup in that OU beat down. Definately hope Skins pass w 1st pick.
Ward has a world of talent and can really play, but I’m hoping a better option is there. James for instance.
Same
If we can’t get you to listen to Madden, well, there just ain’t nothin’ doin’.
Redskins gotta go Defense, no question about it, I mean, Barkley isn’t there, he just isn’t. So remember kids, “Don’t worry about the horse being blind, just load the wagon.”

Yes, I think by far the most talented players that will be there at #13 will be defense. If James slips to there, it will be really really hard not to take him.
Coin toss between James and Fitzpatrick
Fitz…….for the tiebreaker
I’d do that too. James has crazy potential. But Fitz is polished and ready to go now.
Yeah
That would be a great decision to have to make.
looking at the roster, which already has 7 safeties on it, I would bet that it would be an easy pass for them but the more good players there, the more likely they can get a 3rd round pick
Spooked off fishing this morn by the ‘gale warning’ forecast and made other commitments, but now those winds won’t be here till later. #shit.
Yes, I know better than that. Never cancel on a forecast.
Go anyway, river to yourself, as other peeps watched the weather.
If I had an ounce of brains, I’d be out the door…but I did make other commitments so I won’t. #grrrrrrrr.
Sometimes it’s that way.
Tomorrow is another day, will go out for a few hours then get ready for a clean break Saturday morn for the camp.
Gobble Gobble, good luck
Youth Hunt Day on Saturday, hope some Juniors get into a few birds.
Our heritage day was last week, season opened the 14th.
Knew a girl named Gale back in college, sure wish there was a warning system any time she was close bye.
Yeah, college: at least 5 years before guys develop a ‘spider sense’.
We’re all about our umm…weather vane during those years.
Oh no this was the kind of crazy I didn’t do nothing with, the stuff where she was a walking hurricane
She just needed a pacifier
Happy Thursday!

Interesting piece on WaPo about the quiet offseason saving/setting up extension talks for several free-agents-to-be in 2019. Scherff, Preston, Crowder headlining the list.

dude says ” that ain’t good “. made me laugh .
“Man that is gittin it now”
That doesn’t look safe at all
No , it doesn’t . I would have thought a massive ball of fire was forthcoming but maybe the circuit was already out . Once that centrifugal force gets going you have a situation .
I know one thing… I wouldn’t be that idiot standing underneath them watching.
LOL.
That’s D_C level stupid right there
Your killing me. I’m ready to see what Gruden and Alex Smith can do together . That should be interesting .
If Alex is as coachable as they say it should be a good match. Not thrilled with the receiving corps right now though… they all have a lot to prove. If they can get it together, though, we could be airing out 30 points a game…
I agree . I want to see if Gruden can match Andy Reid in terms of Smith’s success but we don’t have near the weapons they had .
Sure don’t… nor the run game.
BUT… if CT and Reed can somehow stay healthy… we got some firepower
https://media.tenor.com/images/4e2a9167fba72325780b3e690588fd8a/tenor.gif
So THAT’S what they do when we’re not watching…
Huh
Lol

He’s one of the few ex NFLers willing to talk to us normal people on Twitter… you know, have an actual conversation. That endears him to people somewhat.
well that’s good. All of his team related tweets that I have seen are negative .
He’s pretty jaded about the training staff and front office…
…but they haven’t actually proven to be worth a shit so he’s not wrong
Amen!
Hey Buck… get anything special for linemen appreciation day?
Not hardly . Didn’t even know it was a thing .
Tell your wife I said she has to give you a hummer
Yeah ….that’s gonna work . She’s sound asleep already . That’s the last thing on her my mind about now .
Just poke her with it…
“Hey, some random guy on the blog said you have to give me a hummer for National Linemen Day”
Negative .
No . She came home in a foul mood . School getting to her . Always does after spring break until the end of the year . Kids are crazy .
Just remind her it’s not always about her… works every time
no way in hell. It won’t work .
I was obviously being facetious.
I know . You couldn’t have picked a worse day . Downright evil when she got home . Throw in the change of life and its the perfect storm
RUUUUUUUUUUN!
exactly what I do. Steer clear . That shit is no joke . mean as a damn snake and you can’t say anything right . I don’t even try.
Just go fishing… just go
If she asks me is it hot in here , I say yes , no matter what . It could be freezing , I still say yes
HAHAHAHAAAAAA!
its like a wind turbine in the bedroom . Ceiling fan on high and two stand up fans blowing , and its not even warm outside yet .
Oh shit that’s funny

What that be?
That Cavs Pacers game was fun to watch…
Cavs will make it out of the first round… don’t see them making it out of the second round without a MUCH improved defense
No D_C or Walter today… sure was nice and civil
We’re always civil until someone *cough* starts some shit.
Riiiiiighht…
No one believes you….
No one
Someone. Who could it be? [scratches head]
Yes… you get along so well with everyone…
I can’t roll my eyes at you enough
No one takes you seriously… not even your Mom.
No

Yeah, I’m going to have to think about who the shit stirrer is. Kind of a mystery really.

No one to make really idiotic or extremely bigoted comments. Good stuff!
I don’t know, I’m good for a couple idiotic comments a day LOL
Not like that other guy… that guy says some crazy dumb shit.

you were gone for a good reason. that shit was awful.
So is your anti Christian bigotry… you offended no less than 4 people on the blog… yet you kept at it
You don’t seem to have any problem with your own anti-liberal bigotry, though, no matter how many people you offend. Why is that?
Not.

Clearly he should be in therapy, but you have to have a certain level of self-awareness to get to that point. Perhaps one day.

For a 1.5 mil 1 year deal, McPhee having an impact on run defense would be a hell of a thing.

LeBron has constantly been crying and crying just sickening
He’s bashing the crap outta that yellow team. Fun to watch.
Lmao. My point is, he’s so good he doesn’t need to whine and b**** as much as he does. Just my humble opinion
Everyone whines and bitches in this game today. They all need to STFU and play the damn game.
That I can agree with you on 100%.
A good game is a game with minimal ref involvement… it seems like the players want the refs deciding the games… then cry when they do
Amen!

You wanna talk about the real deal… denied further medical care and basically said let me go home to die… I’m good.
What? Dude you need to explain that a little bit further. What in the hell are you talking about?
Yea… Barbara Bush denied further medical treatment and decided to go home instead of staying in the hospital. Knew she was gonna die and was fine with it.
Because she’s hard, not like all these bobbleheads on TV, God bless her.
Gangsta… except no where near the pussy that today’s gangsters are
I’ma drink a shot of bourbon in her honor.
Through your anus
Nah, from the bottle, to my lips.
If that was a joke, it’s right fucked up.
Hey, if you’re gonna be as gangsta as Babs Bush you gotta drink it with your ass
Mrs. Bush drank it in a crystal glass, as she should.
But you have to drink it through your ass…
Nope, bottle’s fine by me.
Pussy
I’d consider drinking it from a kitty.
Not a prison kitty
Oh, you wanna play sex games.
Oh yes! Boy I really read that wrong. I thought you had been denied Medical Care and they sent you home shaking my head I didn’t get enough sleep last night obviously LOL

Washington Redskins on ESPN – John Keim
1 hr ·
The Redskins also hosted Georgia running back Sony Michel Wednesday, the last day teams could host potential draft picks. The Redskins have expressed an interest to try and upgrade at running back and have shown strong interest in other backs, notably LSU’s Derrius Guice. The question becomes when would they pick one — if indeed they do. At 13 it might be too high for Guice and 44 might be too low for the backs they would consider upgrades. They went to dinner with Guice the night before his Pro Day and also hosted him at Redskins Park. They also hosted Ronald Jones II after attending his makeup Pro Day.

She’ll be fine, actually got a sweet deal, imo
nothing finer than a pretty girl in prison
— Prison Bull Dykes
She probably swings that way anyway. My point is, 209 pounds, trafficking, she plays it right and can be out in 57 months, could be a lot worse.
Must be a state charge because Feds carries mandatory 85% serve time
Correction 57 months, article says 4y9m with good time.
it’s Australia, they’re liberals
Their prisons (that I saw on TV) look sweet. (Perspective, obviously)
Right…
a high percentage of younger women have sampled from both sides of the buffet before making their final choice
and in prison she probably doesn’t have a choice
Those lesbians will be fighting over who gets to be her mama, they’ll spoil her rotten. Her worst enemy will be whoever used to be the hottest bitch in there.
from my friend who dated a girl who did 22 months in FL (very nice lady, bad ex-boyfriend) you get a girlfriend (or group of girlfriends) in prison or you get beat down every time the guards are not around
Where in Florida? Went through the holdover in Talahasee on one of my transfers… Talahasee is a womens prison. Saw some pretty amazing stuff there… and not amazing in a good or hot way.

From talking to C.O.s that had worked woman’s prisons before, their 100 times more into that shit then men’s prisons.

Margaret Cho talking about her snatch is not funny .
Been using the Zero-G hose. I like it. Works as advertised. No kinks. No snags. Not as quite compact as the pocket hose, but still takes up a lot less space than your traditional garden does when ya coil it up. It certainly looks to be made of more rugged material than the pocket hose. The outside sleeve is a backpack canvas type material. And for sure it’s vinyl on the inside as there’s no mistaking that old timey vinyl smell when water leaves the hose.
I am soooo fucking hot right now – D_C
t….m…….i
I love to turn it on and watch it grow!
The Zero-G doesn’t do that. Open the spigot and it behaves a lot like a fire hose.
Yeah…….just like that…….ooooooooo
Biggest piece of shit . I took mine back .
Of course you were doing it wrong.
Problem I always had with that type of hose is the water pressure…
This one is rated at 650 psi

I think there may be some more. I thought someone (Buffalo) wanted the ginas spot?

Statement by @Fresno_State President @JosephICastro regarding tweets made today by a faculty member: pic.twitter.com/h3ZbQyMmxd
— Fresno State (@Fresno_State) April 18, 2018
“On behalf of Fresno State, I extend my deepest condolences to the Bush family on the loss of our former First Lady, Barbara Bush,” Castro wrote. “We share the deep concerns expressed by others over the personal comments made today by Professor Randa Jarrar, a professor in the English Department at Fresno State. Her statements were made as a private citizen, not as a representative of Fresno State.”
Castro’s statement continued.
“Professor Jarrar’s expressed personal views and commentary are obviously contrary to the core values of our University, which include respect and empathy for individuals with divergent points of view, and a sincere commitment to mutual understanding and progress.”
It sounds like the local news may have reported that she was currently on leave now…
I don’t imagine she’ll receive a flower bouquet from the Bush family when diabetes inevitably takes her.
Typical academic. No class whatsoever. This didn’t surprise me at all.
That won’t go over well in Fresno… that place lives and dies on farming.
Sounds like stickman is going to Fresno.

retailer Bon-Ton gone

Bed Bath & Beyond is now circling the drain
so Amazon, Walmart and Target are soon going to be the holy Trinity of retailing
Best Buy is playing it smart by working with Amazon instead of against them. A deal was announced today that Best Buy will begin selling FireTv enabled smartTVs. Consumers will be able to by the sets online at Amazon and pick them up at Best Buy.
Bed Bath and Beyond…they’d save a fortune if they’d stop spamming my mailbox with coupons.
BB&B in the downtown DC area teamed up and has a world market in it, which is a step in the right direction, but has a way to go. Only reason I ever go there is for the World Market.
They bought World Market back in 2012. Around here, it’s common to see them just a few doors away from one another at shopping centers.
I think I’ve been in a World Market or Pier One or Cost Plus or whatever dozens of times and never bought anything. it seems to be a store that doesn’t really do anything that well
Pier One is different. Pretty sure it’s just furniture…
BB&B is cheapest source of T-cups, otherwise… ?
I think Best Buy ends up in an umbrella under one of the major home improvement warehouses

Costco was $2.46, gas station was like $2.61
Our Costco has the same price as retail stations. I don’t know why people bother going out of the way and waiting in those lines.
Our Sam’s is cheaper than the gas stations.
plus the 10% off
our Costco is like always at least ten cents cheaper than retail station
except for the Wa-Wa by Costco they are only about 3 cent more
In DC the costco is almost always 20 cents less.
End of year rebate based off your annual spending. Buying gas every week will add up.
Ahhh yea. That’s right.
Derp.
A cannabis-free person would remember that….
Or someone who goes there for gas to add up those dollars.
Relax, I totally forgot also.
Pothead
What did Gas get to when the economy tanked in 07? I always saw that as am indicator of a market crash.
I thought it was over $4 and close to $5 a gallon then, but anything I find on the web says it was only 3 something.
it was over $4 in CA
$3 in rest of country
Was way over 4 in the DC area. I didn’t have a car at the time, so I wasn’t tracking it closely
It was certainly over $4 a gallon here pretty regularly. Sometimes WELL over it

I do try and make it to 1 game a year, but not sure which of these looks most like a W for us. Guessing the wife will get me tix to the game closest to my birthday.
and FWIW Sporting News is projecting us going 6-10 already
Your score is: 22187 (GRADE: A-)
Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 19 (DAL): Guice, Derrius, RB, LSU (B)
Round 2 Pick 12: Price, Billy, C/OG, Ohio State (A)
Round 2 Pick 18 (DAL): Phillips, Harrison, DT, Stanford (A)
Round 3 Pick 17 (DAL): Cain, Deon, WR, Clemson (A-)
Round 4 Pick 9: Senat, Deadrin, DT, South Florida (A+)
Round 5 Pick 5: Avery, Genard, ILB, Memphis (A+)
Round 5 Pick 26: Holland, Jeff, OLB, Auburn (A+)
Round 6 Pick 14: Parris, Timon, OT, Stony Brook (A+)
Round 7 Pick 13: Wims, Javon, WR, Georgia (A+)
Round 7 Pick 23: Jackson, JC, CB, Maryland (A+)
Guice getting a B at 19 is weird.
I’d be ecstatic with this draft!
Any scenario where we can trade back and get 2 more high picks, + still get a good player in the 1st I’m for.
Jerry Jones has lost his fucking mind.
Mr. Steve? Meet with your approval?
Oh great…..go and ruin it.
lol
Yes, this would be great – RB, OG, DT all addressed at the potential starter level (I love Harrison Phillips), some other good depth guys. Grade of A from me.
Thx
That’s the team needs factor
That’s my homage to Mr. Steve with that pick.
The guy is simply a late 1st nearly 2nd round pick. Nothing weird about it.
Picking him at 19, I’d think that is a late 1st at that point, or is 19 considered middle?
middle-ish?
Fair enough.
Between O’rourke and cannabis, Steve is going to be chased out of the state of Texas.
Which is kind of a shame really. A fair and fighting representative in the US Senate and the freedom to self-determine…but hey, someone people just like it better when their reps are shills and their liberties are limited.

All you need to do is watch who is funneling huge amounts of money to him, and it’s easy to guess how he’ll vote.
Cruz appears to be something of a butthead on a personal level, but he’s an outspoken true conservative & a constitutional originalist, which I consider critical.
I have an acquaintence on his staff who’s also something of a butthead at times, so it’s a good match.
He’s a strict oligarchist.
Beto would be a disaster for the state of Texas. He’s a far-left wing nut. He’s dangerous.
Anyone who’s a Dem isn’t far left wing.
They are just libs.
Far left wingers would never be caught dead running as democrats, that’s like white after labor day.
Your definition of far left winger is different than mine.
Because mine is based on a global political science perspective.
There’s no formal political science definition of “far left winger”. I’m using it as an insult, not a term of art.
Global… that says it all

Medical marijuana ballot measures will be voted on in Utah and Oklahoma this November. Both state show strong support for pro-cannabis legislation. 77% of voters polled in Utah are down with medical marijuana while 62% are in favor in Oklahoma.
62%, which in super red state Oklahoma is equal to 420% in any blue state.
Get with the times Texas. You’ll soon be boxed in by cannabis friendly states.
It’s a dumb movement brought by a bunch of stoners. Thank goodness the federal government is still taking the correct position about this.
30 states with pro-cannabis legislation…what a dumb movement. Just a bunch of stoners. In 30 states.
Yes, just a bunch of dumb stoners. Yes.
John Boehner. What a stoner that guy is.
All the republican reps in Texas lobbying to bring it on board here…they must be stoners too.

They’ve already patented all strains known to man, in preparation.
There were 8.2 million marijuana arrests between 2001-2010. 88% of those were for simple possession. Blacks were 3.73 times more likely than whites to get arrested for marijuana, despite roughly equal usage rates.
If rich or middle class white men were incarcerated at the same rate as black men, and housed in the same prison population, you can bet your ass that pot would be decriminalized or legalized.
“Equal Justice Under Law” does not apply to drug arrests.
Another truth grenade stuns the crowd.
You’re not hearing me: the folks behind this weed movement are just a bunch of loser stoners. I’m sure there are a few rare exceptions who think supporting something so awful will help them some other way ($$$$$$$).

If this is the case, the Redskins might want to go with Payne or Vea. Facing Barkley, Zeke, and the Eagles’ stable of RB 6X/year could be a disaster if they’re not stout up front.
Just listened to a live interview on Redskins.com with Jon Allen. Really like the kid. He said he wants us to pick Payne at 13. Said he didn’t know much of Vita Vea, but since he knows the kind of person Da’Ron Payne is…said he’s a can’t miss and obviously would help our D line a lot. Can’t argue the chemistry thing.
I also watched it. Chemistry is huge.
Allen loves watching film to look at his opponent’s tendencies. How hand and foot placement can tip off a run or pass play. Ioannidis was called “The Professor” at Temple. I think their effectiveness was just as much a byproduct of chemistry as it was physical talent. Da’Ron Payne would add to the chemistry equation, but I won’t cry if we get Vea.
I’m okay with Payne if we trade down or take him in the 2nd, but I think he’s a big reach at 13.
It would be interesting to know how each of them interviewed, and what Tomsula’s take is.
Understand his sentiment, but you don’t draft based on, “I like this guy I played with and don’t know much about anyone else.”

This is so stupid.
It was never a secret that Sinclair sent this statement to their statements and told them to read it.
And more importantly, there’s nothing wrong with the statement.
Idiots.
Lol
The statement basically said:
– some news media outlets publish stories without verifying facts (true)
– doing so is bad for the country and a danger to democracy (a bit overwrought, but more or less true)
– this station won’t do that (okay, fine, thanks)
What a horrible a thing to say.
I haven’t commented on it one way or the other.
I’ll say this, the night of the tornado in the drone footage above, local news was only at Timberlake Rd., in Lynchburg. The insane news from posters on Facebook in Elon, casualties, missing, you name it. Official report the following day, no critical injury or death.
The statement itself isn’t terrible. The issue is that they are obviously setting themselves up as the middle ground — the REAL news — when they’re generally considered to have a conservative bias.
“Sinclair has been scrutinized by multiple media outlets for consistently favoring conservative politics. They are considered a rival to right biased Fox News for the conservative audience. The Seattle Times has written a piece documenting Sinclair’s right wing bias. Further, according to the Center for Responsive Politics (Open Secrets) the Sinclair Broadcast Group has donated $1,143,508 or 80% to Republican candidates since 1994.”
Yawn. As opposed to CNN, MSNBC, NBC, and ABC, in particular, which are clear and obvious shills for liberal causes and audiences, yet also claim to be unbiased. Very few, if any, major news media outlets in today’s world aren’t biased.
CNN has outright embarrassed itself over the past 2 years.
You think so, but those outlets aren’t forcing their anchors to make statements warning their listeners off other sources. CBS, NBC, and ABC have a center-left bias. MSNBC and CNN are hard left. Sinclair and Fox are hard right. According to the Media Bias/Fact Check site.
Do you not see the abc, nbc, and cbs anchors reading the statement?
I basically agree with that. And….what does that have to do with this harmless statement? If a left-leaning news outlet put something like that out, it would be heralded as great by folks on your side.
Er’rybody wants to make a statement.

Correction: It is, like, simply a very stupid thing.
and like has two uses in Valley Speak
as a discourse marker replacing “um” or “er”
and a colloquial quotative as in “I was like ‘so bummed’ when I head Barbara Bush died”
giving, or getting?
like in a comparison, totally like, Alfred Morris is totally like Nick Chubb, and like totally right?
I expect the Browns to equal or better their total number of wins for the past 3 seasons

They HAVE to get better right? I mean.. they HAVE to.
Duke Dawson and MJ Stewart are 2 names I hear that are potential guys to be drafted as slot CB replacements
Yes, yes he is.
the joys of the 1st amendment…
A Fresno State professor called former first lady Barbara Bush an “amazing racist” who raised a “war criminal,” and expressed no concern that she could be fired or reprimanded for her outspokenness on social media.
Randa Jarrar, a professor in Fresno State’s Department of English, expressed her displeasure with the Bush family within an hour after the official announcement that Mrs. Bush died Tuesday at the age of 92.
“Barbara Bush was a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal,” Jarrar wrote on Twitter. “F— outta here with your nice words.”
So… what’s the backlash? Was she fired?
The bad-taste tweet, which offered no explanation for Bush’s supposed ‘racism’ soon prompted scores of angry replies. But Jarrar, who describes herself as Arab American Muslim, was unrepentant, boasting that she is a tenured professor at Fresno State University who makes $100,000 a year. She continued: ‘I will never be fired.
Not yet is the answer
the problem is, she just tied herself to State government. always always always if you are a prof and make a public presentation where opinions are presented the disclaimer “the yada yada yada in this presentation are the views of the [Name or Title here] and not necessarily those of [Government Entity]
she’s really close to being a fire-able offense, it would be a lock if say, she had a University lab or Dept twitter account she used for it.
If you can’t say something nice don’t say anything, at least not right after the person dies. I’m no fan of the Bush family, but I’m not gonna bad mouth a first lady on her death bed.
Pretty appalling.
say what you will about the Bush guys, Barbara raised over $100M for reducing illiteracy in the USA something she worked tirelessly on for years
…and no one has done more for AIDS treatment and awareness in Africa than Bushy Jr
Both True. Bush Jr. was very good on the AIDS issue, I was with USAID back when he was president and he was the first to really up the funding for that. I think it was up to 400 M a year when he left office, memory is fuzzy. By in large very good work was done, and even though we weren’t allowed to tell people to wear a condom, the law was written sloppily so we were able to work around it.
Was?
No… IS
I say “was” because I’m referring to just the time period when he was president & I was working for USAID.

The people around Saquon Barkley reportedly don’t want him in Cleveland, to the point where his manager told him to pull an Eli Manning if the Browns draft him. But Barkley isn’t considering that.
Cleveland is going to turn that ship around soon…
BWAHAHAHAAAAA!!
I tried to say it with a straight face.
I think they’re on their way, if the owner can hold his water. They’ll win at least 6 games this year.
They’re Cleveland. They aren’t on their way anywhere.
Yeah, well … being Redskins fans we probably don’t have much room to talk.
Let’s see… one win in the last 2 years or a .500 record… hmmmm….
Yep, the same thing
Everyone drafted by the browns should pull a Manning……
Not sure if it was discussed but I read that re signing Lauvo was an option. God help us.
We do need a parking lot attendant
That one play in 2016 where Campbell then with Arizona just completely dominated him…pushed him into Cousins and caused a fumble…that was it for me with Shawn Laovau or however you spell it.
Dude was akin to a parking cone on a hand truck
Turnstile replacements are always good to have on hand.
Them shits are EXPENSIVE!

Will Hernandez – OG
School: Texas-El Paso | Year: Senior.
The team and city that ends up with Hernandez will love him — he’s a top character person who will play at a high level for a long time in this league. He’s very strong (37 lifts at the combine) and excels in both run-blocking and pass protection.
Take him at 13 then. We need an OG. I wouldn’t be pissed at all.
Guys need to stop reaching for need
We have critical needs that must be filled in order to have a competitive team.
At almost every position… stop reaching based on your man crushes
No, not at every position at all. We don’t have a starting LG. We don’t have a RB who’s worthy of starting. We need another interior DL. In terms of starters, we’re set at tackle, QB, ILB. Could probably use upgrades in some other areas.
We don’t have a #1 WR… we have a bunch of SS and no FS’s that are proven healthy. We have a bunch of youngsters at CB. Trent hasn’t played a full season in how long? ILB might be the ONLY position outside of QB we’re set at.
I think you over value the players we have on a losing team.
The team believes in Josh Doctson, just signed Paul Richardson to a $40M contract, and loves Jamison Crowder.
The team was also 7-9 so…
That’s not the point – they like their starters, and they like Robert Davis, too. Given that, I don’t think they’re going to burn a high draft pick on a WR.
I agree with this particular point.
That doesn’t change the fact that it’s a need. Which was MY point… not that they won’t take one. It’s BPA… if a wide receiver is the BPA you take him… you don’t reach for Guice.
The team doesn’t think it’s a need, or so it appears, so no, I wouldn’t take a WR if an option at a need position were available.
I get it… you’re a draft for need guy. I’m not… que sera
Hernandez is my man crush not Steve’s. Steve’s all about that Guice
That was the royal “your” and I was speaking to you… if you look my comment was made BEFORE Steve’s

We’ll see. i don’t really care if we draft somebody at 13 that a bunch of draft experts think should be at 20. Second rounder in the 1st? That’s bit much for me, but I also think Guice is better than that.
Sure… we should draft someone at 13 because a blogger says so… perfect sense.
Funny to see a blogger take a poke at draft experts… because you guys are not much different.
We don’t claim to be draft experts. The entire premise of the show and the website is that we’re 4 regular fans.
Yea, I get it… which is why I give your Guice man crush as much weight as it deserves and look at it differently. Which is also why you might want to dismiss other people’s opinions (so called draft experts) so flippantly since you are essentially the same people.
The Redskins aren’t going to, and shouldn’t, listen to me or you. This is just opinion and discourse.
cooley also said we should not take vita vea at 13. “not splashy enough”, he said. weird.
That dude makes a YUGE splash when he jumps in… don’t know what Cooley is talking about
Listening to Led Zeppelin 3 on You Tube while I work. It’s amazing. A lot of under the radar tunes. Only real radio hit is Immigrant song and that’s the 1st track.
Amazing band….best rock band ever, to me, including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, The Who, and anyone else you can name.
The Beatles are terrible… the Who is Meh… Zep was amazing
Tommy is pretty great album from the Who. Abby Road is the only Beatles album I can listen to from start to finish. The rest have 1 or 2 good songs and a bunch of crap
I hated Tommy overall. Unlistenable to me.
The Beatles have some classics, and I get it, but it just not really in my musical lane.
Different strokes. I love pink Floyd, some people find them unlistenable
I like some Floyd, but the more mainstream stuff. I don’t particularly care for the early stuff that’s way, way out there.
I think the Beatles are more important because of what the represent from the transition of the kinda bubblegum pop rock that you think of in the 50’s into the more artistic sound of the 60’s.
3 is the my least listened to. It’s very folky…..
Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Creedence Clearwater Revival,
CCR might be my all time favorite band, definitely top 5
I wouldn’t put them in the top 10 in my world but I sure do love me some CCR

Would they go RB with Ajayi there?
If we don’t get some combination of a Starting DT, RB, or OG with the first 2 picks….the draft is a failure. I do not want to see a DB of any kind at 13, or 44.
______________
I agree with this, too, but I also think that if Derwin James of MInkah Fitzpatrick are there, the team might just do it.
And, it would be difficult to fault them.
i agree, but will hate it
concur
I think they will do it, but gotta trust em I guess.
I’m not sure why everybody thinks we’re set in the secondary. We have Norman, Swearinger and a bunch of unproven players. Oh ya and Scandrick.
I don’t see it.
Depends on where the FO believes they got guys who are more ready to contribute and that can start…on the DL or the Secondary. I think they believe we got more guys in the secondary and not on the DL…..
The way I see it, we have needs at DB and DL. I think James and Fitzpatrick are better players then Vea and Payne. But I’d be happy with any of them.
Agreed… but the coaches seem to think otherwise. The young uns will be thrown to the wolves this year…
They like Fabian Moreau, and they know Dunbar can play. It’s not the greatest situation in the world, but it’s also not as big a need as some other positions. And also, James and Fitzpatrick are both more in the box guys than FS types, which is what they’d more need at safety. To me, at least.
https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/986196216433315840
We could use a guy who can hit a homerun.
According to some people here, the only thing we need to do is to draft 10 interior defensive lineman.
Re: Zach Brown leading or close to leading the league in tackles
Notice most of the top tackle guys are 1) not typically the elite 3-4 ILBs or 4-3 OLBs 2)on teams that don’t have very many wins or poor defenses 3)their total tackle numbers never seem to translate to big time contracts are of high value
We’ve been dearth of elite talent at that position for so long we probably overvalue Brown a bit. But I don’t mind for now…
I agree with your point, and it’s why I thought the team shouldn’t overspend to keep Brown (which they didn’t). There were other more complete LBs on the market.
Your score is: 20032 (GRADE: B)
Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 20 (DET): Hernandez, Will, OG, Texas-El Paso (A-)
Round 2 Pick 12: Phillips, Harrison, DT, Stanford (A-)
Round 2 Pick 22 (K.C.): Chubb, Nick, RB, Georgia (B+)
Round 3 Pick 14 (K.C.): Cain, Deon, WR, Clemson (A-)
Round 3 Pick 22 (K.C.): Dawson, Duke, CB, Florida (A+)
Round 4 Pick 9: Avery, Genard, ILB, Memphis (B+)
Round 5 Pick 5: Fatukasi, Folorunso, DT, Connecticut (A+)
Round 5 Pick 26: Yelder, Deon, TE, Western Kentucky (C)
Round 6 Pick 14: Ferguson, Riley, QB, Memphis (A+)
Round 7 Pick 13: Wims, Javon, WR, Georgia (A+)
Round 7 Pick 23: Toth, Brett, OT, Army (A)
I think Yelder surprises peeps in the league but whateves…we’ll all have to wait and see.
Getting this many picks would def be a pants tent…..but I can’t believe it will happen. But a good mock nonetheless.
I fail to see the need to draft a QB this year.
disagree
I agree I could have taken a different player. Round 6 picks are high risk anyway
uh-oh you drafted a meh guy!
hee hee
you don’t have to spend a #1 pick to “build the lines”
i.e. Phillips, Settle, Nnadi, Hill, McInstosh, Shepard
Ragnow, Smith, Hearn, Gossett, Corbett
lerib
I want difference makers, not average or meh guys…
Give a meh guy some meth…….. it’ll make a difference.
lmao
I would typically agree if we had superior coaching. Im unsure we do despite Callahan and Tomsula reputations…
Today’s the final day players can travel to teams for pre-draft visits, and for some it’s the end of the long a grueling few weeks of travel.
To round up some of the highlights today, quarterback Sam Darnold is with the Jets and Josh Allen is visiting the Giants. The Cardinals are getting the last look at Baker Mayfield.
Cardinals are in a spot that can pay off for us in a trade-back situation. Us, or Green Bay.
Joe Gibbs > Bill Walsh by a wide margin
Joe – 3 SP with 3 QBs
Bill – 3 SB with Montana
Joe – 11 winning sessions in 12 years playing the Giants, Eagles and Cowboys twice a year.
Just as the greatest football team ever to take the field, the 1991 Washington Redskins, will never get their due and proper, neither will Joe Gibbs, from the turd sniffing NFL media machine.

If we don’t get some combination of a Starting DT, RB, or OG with the first 2 picks….the draft is a failure. I do not want to see a DB of any kind at 13, or 44.
…and then you’ll whine about the lack of DB depth.
BPA bro’
No, a db isn’t doing shit without a dline applying pressure without blitzing…plus, our division, look at the rushing attacks we need to STOP! smh
Fitzpatrick leaps tall buildings with a single bound……
Football 101-build the lines!
Wrong! Somebody fix this for 65.
Tell me BC…what can a db do besides attempt to cover for 3-4-5 seconds while a weak line creates zero pressure? We’ve seen that story played out over and over…
We were tied for 7th in the NFL in sacks last year.
we couldn’t stop the rush at all…we gave up how many late game td’s? dude, defense on this team stinks
I would have accepted “faster that a speeding bullet”, or “more powerful than a locomotive”.
ChickenEgg
Good coverage in the secondary gives the DL more time to get to the passer. Good pressure from the DL makes life easier on the dbs. If the secondary can’t cover for 2 seconds the best DL in the world isn’t going to put up many sacks.

Elway was better than Montana
Agreed..
It’s not working
No, and it wasn’t even close.
False
Completely true. Montana put up four years with QB ratings >100 in an era when that was simply unheard of. One year he had a QB rating of 118. Another year 112.4. Elway’s best-ever rating was 93, and he only had two years over 90.
Elway sucks. Kirk Cousins is a better QB.
You are flat-out retarded.
Because, the West Coast Offense
In part, sure. Montana was 1st team All-Pro three times. Elway was never 1st team All-Pro.
Shanny headed west, stole some shit, came back.
Elway couldn’t turn the corner until Shanny gave him a running game.
Something that Montana always had, along with a great defense
Elway carried an average team with a bad defense coached by Dan Reeves to 3 Superbowls in 4 years.
Montana led a roster full of HOF with a top 5 head coach through a bad division and had exactly 1 road playoff win in his career
1 road playoff win because he was always playing at home, because … he was really really good.
In a terrible division, it’s easy to get home field advantage.

Sad news about the Southwest Airlines incident, but 1 death in 51 years is pretty amazing.
Years ago, I was flying Southwest from Austin to Orlando. There was a medical emergency in flight, and the pilot made an ear-popping rapid descent to New Orleans to get the passenger off the plane. It was kinda scary at first, until the pilot calmly explained that a passenger needed medical attention asap.
So there appears to be a metal fatigue issue with the engines on the 737’s that Southwest uses
The jet’s CFM56-7B engines were made by CFM International, jointly owned by General Electric and Safran Aircraft Engines of France. CFM said in a statement that the CFM56-7B has had “an outstanding safety and reliability record” since its debut in 1997.
THis is the second issue with engine metal fatigue on a Southwest flight the other occuring in 2016
Last year, the engine maker and the Federal Aviation Administration instructed airlines to make ultrasonic inspections of the fan blades of engines like those on the Southwest jet. The FAA said the move was prompted by a report of a fan blade failing and hurling debris. A Southwest spokeswoman said the engine that failed Tuesday was not covered by that directive, but the airline announced it would speed up ultrasonic inspections of fan blades of its CFM56-series engines anyway.
My daughter goes back and forth to school on Southwest. I’ve never flown with them myself. I have a work trip booked with them next month though.
If the top 4 QBs go in the first 13 picks, that leaves us with 9 of the best other position players. Bradley Chubb, Barkley, Ward, James, Smith, Edmunds, Nelson, Fitzpatrick, McGlinchey are probably the top 9. We stand to get a pretty good player even if Vita Vea goes ahead of us and replaces one of those top 9 guys.
would people be happy with R Smith? or would they flounder around and not figure him out like Cravens? is Smith just so much better at LB? I think we can find a really good ILB later in the draft. As far as LBs go, if Landry or Chubb are there, I think you, as some of us here would say, you run to the podium. OLB with Edge and cover (relatively speaking) skills would be a plus.
RSmith is a good/great player, but with ZHood playing the nose, how effective is he going to be?
in what week last year did Hood FINALLY register his first tackle…10th? Serious question
No one likes Ziggy less than I do, but you don’t make personnel decisions based upon another part-time player who isn’t going to be around long. I mean, ZB was leading the league in tackles for a good while playing behind ZH.
Unless only 2 quarterbacks go….
Shoot me if this happens… Michael Lombardi…a former GM and Scout I believe:
13. Washington Redskins: CB Jaire Alexander, Louisville
The Redskins need more depth at cornerback opposite Josh Norman, and the recently signed Orlando Scandrick isn’t a long-term solution in the slot. Alexander could make an early impact: The former Louisville standout boasts elite speed and quickness, and with seven interceptions and 15 pass breakups in his college career, proved he has a nose for the ball, too.
Do people around the country who cover football know that we were last against the Run…especially with the prospect of Saquan Barkley landing in our division…and we go draft a CB….
people who don’t pay attention also don’t look at the depth
CB isn’t crazy, but I think Moreau, Dunbar, and Holsey have some promise. Prob draft CB at some point, though.
Address it when the prospect of being thin starts to appear on the distant horizon.
Address the secondary now, mid rounds, with special teams and depth in mind, every year, without fail.
Other needs though. At positions where we’re not near as deep.
Not at 13 we’re not.
Anyone putting that out there is just…burnt out on draft analysis and trying to have something to say after all the other shit has been said.
This isn’t even the best CB either….WTF is this dude thinking.
I really like him but 13 would be too high. He has VG film, great speed, and he looked smooth as butta doing drills at the Combine.

I remember that!!! Loved basketball back then
Regarding the convo below about what the Wizards need to do,
Try and trade Mahinmi, Smith, Gortat, whatever you can get for them at this point you take it, clear out space with those aged big men, maybe you package someone like Gortat with a 1st round pick to move up a few spots?
Retire the franchise
prob trade Wall and Beal (at least 1), tank 1 season, get at least 1 lottery pick, get lucky and get top 3 pick, get 1-2 big FAs to go with the rook and then make another run
They may need to do something like that. But none of it matters till they get a new GM.
Dream scenario: Hankins signs before the draft, Patriots trade up for Lamar Jackson (the rift is real!), Skins take Payne at 23, Hernandez at 31 and Nick Chubb at 44.

The Redskins also hosted offensive lineman Billy Price on Tuesday. Price was a standout center at Ohio State, but also can play guard. Price could be drafted in the late first or early second round, so he might be gone by the time Washington makes its… http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-40019585-4 …
There will be a good interior lineman available in the 2nd when the skins pick.
So do we go DT, RB or DT, OG, or RB, OG, or RB, DT? Not having a 3rd is really mucking things up. I really think we will trade back if we can.
I think we go DT, OG if we can’t trade back, then try to move up to get a RB in round 3.
Of course if we sign Hankins before the draft, maybe we go RB and OG… That’s best case scenario
if you were to lay money based on chatter, smoke screen acknowledged, you’d put money on the first two picks being a LG and RB. if you are a fill-holes (vs priority plan based) kind of team builder, that is what you’d do as they already have a decent starting DL.
if you go to Rd 3, then that is prob a CB round. RB is then maybe a 3rd day enterprise, where there are a couple of prospects.
3rd schmird
F that pick
So Price is now a 1st or 2nd rounder? I thought he was a guy we could still get in R 4.
He’ll be a steal beyond the 2nd, especially for a team that can afford his recovery time. Heck of a player.
Price moved quite a bit in the last few months in the mockery
but not as much as DJ Moore. Who is now potentially the first WR taken, though the highest I’ve seen mockery is Balmer.
Went to bed last night when the Caps went to OT. Would have been nice to see the win but I don’t think I could have made it through double OT

not bad for no trades
but you can’t win the draft without like 8 2nd day picks
I don’t see Vea going until late 1st round he is a run stuffer he doesn’t rush the passer. I would love to have him but I doubt anyone will take him before 15.
Perhaps a real opportunity for us to trade down and, fingers crossed, get out 3rd round pick back?
Only if a QB falls to 13. Who else is anyone trading up for?
that’s why I said my fingers are crossed
could be any number of players at 13
there’s always teams willing to trade, the question is, are they worth it? I mean, for example, wouldn’t you trade up to like 9 if all it took was a 7th round pick?
I if the Giants take Barkley, the will be 3 run heavy teams in the East so loading up on run stuffers is a good thing.
UDFA
He does rush the passer, though. He had the highest pass rush productivity score of any of the big-name DTs other than Hurst. He had 36 QB pressures versus 23 for Da’Ron Payne. And he was almost always double teamed at Washington.

So if Payne is left as the best DT at 13 do we take him or what? Cooley said he thinks we want both and might try and trade back into the first or early 2nd to get Guice.
DT normally don’t get taken early in the draft, I would think we could trade back and still get Payne but who knows for sure.
The Wizards starting 5 had 1 yes 1 offensive rebound last night and you had to max contract guys who combined for 21 points. The Wizards are soft bitches.
Wizards were done soon as they sank from the 4 seed to the 8 seed. They def suck and something drastic needs to be done next year.
Yes but they gave max contracts to a bunch of bums not sure what they can do.
They will be a 42 win team for the next 4 years and somehow Ernie will keep his job.

I never got super excited about the Wiz, if Nene could ever get his feet right, and with a younger Gortat, the run should have been a couple of years ago.

I’ve been checking out how the ink has changed since whenever the fuck they started drawing this, and you brought it up, so don’t complain. There may even be some girl on girl stuff from some of the drawings.
I am not complaining

4 touchdowns in senior bowl?
I just think his footwork and mechanics are really flawed. I think in the NFL he would have a very hard time unless he takes to coaching. Sorry, he’s just not my favorite Prospect.
I thought he moved well, reminded me of how Brees slides around, though that’s the only game I’ve ever seen him play in.
I might be getting him confused I’ve been reading more about him and he did have a great Senior Bowl. The only real concern I’ve read, is his lack of arm strength. he couldn’t push the ball down field in college. He’ll have to go to the right system. I’m wondering who I’m confusing him with?
That cornpone Tanner Lee

Well, it’s a good fit for old Steve S-burg, he can use superheros to kill Nazi’s… no one is better at that than him.
If you look at the art, these Blackhawks were kinda a mix of American and Nazi, all mashed into one, but the good guys.
That was just the 1940s uniforms.
Nah, they’re throwing in the Nazi kink.
One of my biggest wishes in life right now is for hollywood to stop making comic book movies. They are just embarassing themselves at this point.
I agree I know I was a strange kid but I never got into comic books. Perhaps that’s why I am a strange adult now LOL
I can honestly say that I’ve never read one word out of a comic book.
Me either, I did watch Batman as a child but I never read a comic book

Just think if you got rid of most deductions, simplified the tax rate structure
you could get rid of most of the IRS, host the software on Amazon or some other cloud service
and the IRS would cost the US about 10% of what it does today
I thought they just tried that?
all they did was cut taxes and increase the deficit
I thought that part of it was reducing the # of tax brackets and getting rid of most deductions, or did that all fall by the wayside?
most individual deductions are gone or so high you never hit them
corporations still have lots though

Scamp what’s up in Cali? third time in last few weeks
Gang violence, probably?
Who knows… I hardly pay attention to local news anymore. This place is a god awful shit show. You think national politics is bad? This place is gonna burn down.
I’m not opposed to letting that place go off and be its own country….good riddance.
Lotta good Republicans here Steve. Pretty shitty to let them drown.
In other news Californians approved a ballot measure to split Cali into 3 states…
Is that for real? Do the people of California realize that they can’t create more states just because of their stupid ballot measure?
Congress ain’t going to give 4 more Senators to CA
The ones in control right now would… especially the way the proposal is laid out
They understand, at least the ones actually paying attention, that it would subsequently take an act of Congress afterwards
New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.
WV, TN, KY all broke off from VA at different points in time
Yes….but not because of a ballot measure.
It’s just so arrogantly California to put that on the ballot.
it’s one guy, he has been trying to get this on the ballot for 10 years because CA legislature not interested
Ah, so it’s the conservatives who are trying to free themselves of liberal tyranny, not the other way around? Can’t blame them for that. It’s still going to go absolutely nowhere, though.
Yea… it’s people that are pissed about Dems stacking the deck… making all elections now the top 2 primary vote getters… regardless of party.
…and rural areas getting hosed by the 3 huge population centers.
Damn democracy!
A ballot measure doesn’t create a state, and doesn’t even really do much of anything to start the process.
Arrogant? People are sick as fuck of the lack of representation out here. It’s not arrogance… it’s fedupishness.
True….how about letting LA and SF north to the Oregon border go, and keeping central CA in the fold then? That’d probably work.
From what I could tell it’s the coastal area from LA to San Fran… to be called California. The rest of northern Cali called North California. The rest of Southern California would be… well… South California. Thus creating 2 more Republican States and leaving one Ultra Democratic State.
How about 35% of the country feels about Texas. I say 35% because I’m just counting the people who register Democrat, not sure about the independents.
I think we have a solution. We Make California and Texas separate countries, then give every Republican and Democrat 2 or 3 years to move to the right country with a total open border policy for ex-patting to said new countries. The rest of us get the rest of the country.
If Texas becomes its own country, everyone who lives in Austin needs to leave. Those people are loons, for the most part.
Yes they all move to California, All the Republicans in CA can move to Austin, along with all the Dems/Repubs in the rest of the country moving too. It’s the perfect plan!
If the earth heats up 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, Houston will become an aquarium.

Southwest is fine…
Yeah. Haven’t heard much bad about it. It was booked through work though, so I’m contractually bound to complain.
Well duh
Nats stole one today . Mets had them on the ropes
So reading between the lines , it sounds like Ryan Anderson wasn’t taking care of himself like he should have been . Seems changes have been made and he’s in better shape .
be huge if he showed up and made an impact . They need that bad.
be huge if the young CBs can too
They have a ton of faith in Dunbar . Time will tell .
from what they saw of Dunbar in games last 2 years and Moreau in practice they did not pursue Breeland
expect them to draft a CB to groom
sounds like maybe he was in good shape, but not good enough shape and with good enough habits for the NFL if he wanted to take the next step up the roster
yes
A rookie who is learning how to be a pro
Lotta guys up here all but want to cut him
a lot of rookies don’t do a lot 1st year and have big leap second year
a guy who wasn’t preparing like he should have been .
It’s amazing to me how short a leash some guys get…
the one mock draft I want to see I cannot find
Jason Boris’ 2018 mock draft
Treeeeemmmmmmaaaaaiiiinnnnneeeee Eeeedddddddmmmmmuuuuuuunnnnnndddddssssss, come on down!
I assume he will publish it in the next 7 days
One would think we should get some Hankins news in the next week, right?
Not necessarily. He could stretch things out until July if he wanted to.
I would imagine post-draft now.
concur once teams know who they got and what they need
Agreed
Before teams run out of money with rookie deals
Right… because it’s better to run out of money BEFORE rookie deals
meh, they’ll plan for that I would think
more like they want certainty going into the draft and might bump the offer a little so they can adjust their draft board a little bit. businessmen (and women!) tend to prefer certainty and are willing to pay a little for it especially at tipping points, and the draft is one of those
Ya’ll can stop with yer mock drafts now, because I did my weekly draft and it came up aces:
R1P13 RB DERRIUS GUICE LSU
R2P12 C FRANK RAGNOW ARKANSAS
R4P9 DL B.J. HILL NORTH CAROLINA STATE
R5P5 S JORDAN WHITEHEAD PITTSBURGH
R5P26 OT DESMOND HARRISON WEST GEORGIA
R6P31 TE DURHAM SMYTHE NOTRE DAME
R7P13 LB FRANK GINDA SAN JOSE STATE
R7P23 WR ANTONIO CALLAWAY FLORIDA
it is certainly not going to be criticized as unrealistic
Too high for Guice
no poona
The more I think about it, the more I think he’ll be available as an UDFA.
so, he’s signing with Dallas?
Yeah… Poona gets manhandled
There you go thinking again. You’re gonna hurt yourself.
So grabbing the best D-player at 13 screwed up my draft board:
YOUR PICKS
1: R1P13 EDGE BRADLEY CHUBB NORTH CAROLINA STATE
2: R2P12 RB SONY MICHEL GEORGIA
3: R4P9 DL B.J. HILL NORTH CAROLINA STATE
4: R5P5 OT DESMOND HARRISON WEST GEORGIA
5: R5P26 G COLBY GOSSETT APPALACHIAN STATE
6: R6P31 DL LOWELL LOTULELEI UTAH
7: R7P13 CB DARIOUS WILLIAMS UAB
8: R7P23 WR BYRON PRINGLE KANSAS STATE
I think I trade back the 2nd round pick in that case
Yeah… no thanks to Sony Michel

Retard, lol
sounds fair enough, but doctors know best?
D_C?
get the team built up through the middle. on D, need interior line upgrades, depth/more speed at ILB, depth at Safety. on O, need upgrades to the RB group, G/C depth. draft is in 9 days, and will have June 1st cuts coming up.
Anyone ever order anything from The Rustic Flag Company?
I think I heard an interview with their owner on Big O and Dukes not long ago.
Just ordered a few things… looks pretty cool. A little spendy but hopefully it’s worth it.
If it’s the same company I’ve only heard that interview but Chad Dukes was a big fan of their work.
Man, had to check on that. Just ordered for from Sports Flags today (another Villanova National Championship Banner)
This one makes hand carved wood flags and such
Mock Scenerio I’m in, Chubb has fallen to 13, Vea gone. Do you take the best Edge Rusher in the draft class, even though it isn’t a PON?
For the record my answer is yes.
Tell me I’m wrong…
You’re wrong…
…but yes
Yes
It is a position of need, though.
You think OLB is a PON?
Yeah
well, he’s prob going to be an upgrade at OLB overall, is it max out opportunity costs, that we don’t know. I mean, Kerrigan prob owns the league with Chubb on the other side…
and he might be a true OLB, rather than a “DE conversion” when it comes to other stuff that is not pass rushing
Know wadImean…..
Yes. Lost Murphy and Gallette. Preston Smith is hot and cold and verdict is still way out on Ryan Anderson.
McPhee will get moved around, and is a run stopper first.
I’m greedy though and I’d try to leverage him for a trade-back
and my thoughts would be, well, he’s Top 5 guy, and I want Top 5 value
and if not… keep him
Yes.
You run and flap it the whole way with that pick.
And when you’re done, do it again with the other hand.
he’s got the kind of potential that the second you hand in the card you start to get your cap guy worried about how you’re going to pay him. prob hold out hope you get a rook starting QB on his second contract.
Your score is: 21645 (GRADE: A-)
Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 19 (DAL): Wynn, Isaiah, OG, Georgia (A-)
Round 2 Pick 12: Phillips, Harrison, DT, Stanford (A-)
Round 2 Pick 18 (DAL): Kiser, Micah, ILB, Virginia (B+)
Round 3 Pick 17 (DAL): Chubb, Nick, RB, Georgia (A+)
Round 4 Pick 9: Settle, Tim, DT, Virginia Tech (A+)
Round 5 Pick 5: Phillips, Skyler, OG, Idaho State (A)
Round 5 Pick 26: Hill, Holton, CB, Texas (A+)
Round 6 Pick 14: Ferguson, Riley, QB, Memphis (A+)
Round 7 Pick 13: Wims, Javon, WR, Georgia (A+)
Round 7 Pick 23: Watts, Armani, FS, Texas AM (A+)
I could live with this draft!
I don’t see a point in going 2 DT’s and 2 G’s in the top 6 spots.
I agree with Alex on that issue. Only need 1 of each.
i wish we could really field teams. I’d have big nasties all over both lines and I guarantee my team would beat the flashier ones.
I guarantee!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oScmodG_riM
There’ve been flashy teams that have won, such as the Great Show on Turf Rams, for example.
But I’m only talking about not over drafting in those two areas since the team has so many other needs.
I got a rb, ilb, and wims will surprise imo. Needed a TE I grant you that
I always take Wims and if he’s still there, his teammate FS from Georgia (Dominick?) in the 7th round; fakery prob both gone round or two earlier.
Football 101. Build the lines. The teams with the best lines and depth usually win.
H Phillips maybe @ DE 1st and 2nd downs, then moves to DT for “and long”?
prob take different ILB, and a TE instead of the second G and a developmental OT instead of the QB
but not bad, you know, for fleecing Dallas
Seriously I’d have a pants tent over this draft
Ankle pants for me
Tom Brady II in the sixth.
Guy at my work complaining about the irs website being down
Me – Did you already file your taxes?
Him – Of course I did
Me – Then stop complaining about stuff that has zero impact on your life
I guess I’m weird. I always get them done and out of the way ASAP.
Can’t remember the last time I didn’t file an extension….
Well, it helps that my taxes are relatively simple to file. This year was harder because my wife and I had to do the whole filing separately thing to save a few grand, my last raise put me up into the next bracket, just over a tipping point where I probably lost money in the end.
You wouldn’t always be doing them early if you owed, I’d guess.
I’ve owed a little more than I’d had taken out the last 4-5 years. I’d rather just get it over with than have that looming in the back of my mind.
Cap’n the assembly code is giving it all she’s got

deon yelder TE, western Kentucky…round 5+ would be a steal!!
Kalen Ballege in the fourth
just don’t get kicked in the Ballege.
i watched him out here at ASU. good athlete, lacks vision sometimes.
is used to splitting carries, can be effective in a platoon situation.
please tell me you only mentioned him again because the article Noone posted just below lampooned him?
Interesting read…
This new approach to evaluating running backs shows there’s no reason to pick one early in the NFL Draft
https://www.sbnation.com/2018/4/17/17212574/2018-nfl-draft-projections-saquon-barkley-running-backs-sleepers
Except to draft the RB before someone else does. Especially before a division rival does.
have to be careful of their definitions
and I find it difficult to control for the college team
but the bit about combine correlations might have something to it. when I made a spreadsheet a year or two ago with ILBs to compare to Mason and Compton, what you seemed to notice was a bunch of combine numbers for things like 40 time and bench, but one thing anecdotally seemed to jump (boo!) off the screen and that is: you want a LB with explosive broad jump stats.
Really?
Broad Jump? Maybe as close as you can measure something like “burst”?
I would guess so, prob indirectly measures burst which indirectly measures things like usable power and wasted weight
I mean, you want instincts and technique, but if you’re looking for a combine stat, it’s broad jump
in the RB example, the bench prob doesn’t measure a muscle group that significantly enhances their positional performance, but at the same time, it adds above the waist mass.
Back in my Ecstasy days we measured the Broad Jump in much different terms…
how many were your best? lol
Lord there were some crazy evenings full of strippers…
i bet!!
Very interesting.
I’m not really sold on marginal efficiency, because it’s trying to normalize an expected average result and then compares individual performance to that normalized expected result – who’s to say that the expected normalized result is even close to accurate given the large number of different situations that exist on the field? What’s the statistical variance? That is the same reason why I’m not very keen on some of the baseball saber stats.
But this article claimed that my boy Derrius Guice is the safest RB pick in the draft, along with Royce Freeman. Hmmmm…..
normalized against what though? they can’t normalize it across teams. it’s normalized based on down and yardage to go. it’s not a terrible stat, just not the only one.
and I’ve also claimed that Guice has the highest floor in this draft and is the safest pick at RB
but I’d still trade back if I could
normalized against what though? they can’t normalize it across teams. it’s normalized based on down and yardage to go.
______________
Exactly my issue. They don’t tell you how they calculate the number or what the variance is. The stat has value, but it’s somewhat limited, to me, for those reasons.
Three parents whose children were killed in the Sandy Hook school shooting have filed defamation lawsuits against Alex Jones, the controversial conspiracy theorist and Infowars host who has falsely claimed the 2012 massacre was faked.

As much as I like Archer, I’m not digging this whole coma, dream sequence story line from the last year and what looks to be this seasons here.
Got to mix it up from time to time.
I get that the show should evolve, and I generally like how Archer and the Venture Brothers did that over time, gives characters more unique relationships if you embrace that time changes.
My only issue with Archer is the dream sequence stuff is fine for 1-2 shows, but whole seasons, you’re not developing the story, just stagnating it because you wrote yourselves into a hole.
these are the last couple of seasons of Archer
Archer said they will only do 10 seasons, so this and 1 more.

Notice that the highest military spending since WWII came under Obama.
He didn’t build that.
He signed off on it.
Because?
You’re arguing a technicality in a ideological argument.
Obama did the same thing Clinton did, except Clinton didn’t have drones.
Yes he did… does a sex bot count?
He stuck his tomahawk in Monica instead of Osama
Vanessa! You’re a fembot!!
Austin: Hello Basil.
Basil: Hello, Austin. How was your honeymoon?
Austin:It turns out that Vanessa was a fembot.
Basil:Yes. We knew all along, sadly.
Shit, we spend more on our military than the next eight highest spenders COMBINED.
got to spend money to make money!
Need to start getting a return.
the old, tried and true way was selling the conquered as slaves
but that whole conquer and slave as terms has kinda gotten bad PR lately… just wait long enough and the time will be ripe again…
Natural resources, trade agreements, gold…. I’m a businessman.
Gold? We gonna invade India?
Canada has a shit ton of gold
so does Alaska
Yeah if you want to spend all your time panning for it.
If we are gonna invade anywhere for gold, invade someone who’s already pressed it into bars.
Didn’t you learn anything from all those civilization games?
You play the sarcasm card, but what would you really do, if faced with that opportunity? Once you’re in the fight, there is but to win.
I play the sarcasm card sure. But if my studies of ancient military tactics taught me anything, the best move is to invade, win, take the gold you can and leave, an occupying force can be expensive and typically problematic.
You’re forgetting the rape part
I didn’t. I was just being tasteful.

Natural resources, trade agreements, gold…. I’m a businessman.
Not seeing the difference…..”I want to start seeing a return”
Well?
you don’t pan for gold, you crush mountains worth of rock, use a toxic solvent (like mercury) to extract the gold out, then leave the place, burned out and useless like a salted field, they can’t revolt because they’re starving, poisoned, unable to find clean water. but why stop at gold?
yes, what I learned from the civilization games was to build up my own civilization, then burn the neighboring ones to the ground, moving cities to better locations and removing all traces of the dissident culture,
That’s in South America, in Alaska, we run it through Big Blue…
Not in the top 10.

you can build and re-build a lot of large, complex infrastructure with cheap, expendable labor resources. the puppets you replace them with (in their territories) provide taxes, trade agreements, resources, and when it is necessary: soldiers.

nice debate but who’s gonna pay my cell phone bill ? After I make grochry , and play the lotto , i’m broke .
VOIP
You won’t need a cell phone after we shove this chip into your brain.
Or, to be more precise, where most people (excluding Buck) normally have a brain.
by the time I got to Walmarts , all the good pork chops were gone
Now THAT really sucks.
Walmart aren’t we fancy. We buy our food at the Dollar General now!
I go there sometimes .Its good for detergents, washing crap , cleaning shit .
LA Awesome is the shit.
IDK ,but a think of basic Tide is high as hell in the grocery store . All the cleaning chemicals are . Dollar general pretty good for those things .
Nothing wrong with that. Heck in a story I won’t go into details on, once my wife had to go into there to get underwear while on a road trip.
Did you wife shart herself?
And you took her shopping to the dollar store?
That’s love.
No, no.
Okay, we were going to an amusement park and with all the walking around she realized she wanted something like boxer briefs to wear rather than normal underpants, and so we ran in for something she could use.
Ahhh…chaffage
Drawers up her crack . I can relate . LOL
Like Kon said, wanted to avoid chaffing on a hot day with lots of walking about.
But if you ever want to feel classy, but cloths at a dollar store.
Only thing more awkward, when I was in a bodega a while back a dude was buying his wife beaters there.
The prolly looked starched and had that chemical smell. You’re better off at the Goodwill, though they don’t sell underwear.
Gold Bond powder . It was a must working outside in the summer .
Dedication…..*sniffle
C’mon man . Details …..
Dollar general is a scam. 95% of the stuff is cheaper at Walmart. Buy dollar general stock.
is it ? I didn’t know. I don’t buy food there .
If you wanna buy bags of candy for $1 each, fine. Also, watered down bleach, smaller bottles, it’s predatory marketing.
Yeah .
You get in there and shit is $5 – $10
Fucking liars
but 5 below…. that’s some good shit.
HA!
Look for the dude on the youtubes that does dollar store food reviews.
does he have a facial rash that is conspicuously similar to early onset chronic arsenic poisoning?
It’s poke…..poke chops
I googled grochry https://youtu.be/S4KiLHN-ANI

Military budget by year (billions):
2000: $304
2007: $625
2015: $637

You didn’t come close to answering my question….try again.
When did you ask me a question?
I think I answered your question perfectly well. Did Obama gut the military? No. In fact he had some of the highest military budgets in the history of our nation. Perhaps you can be more specific about how you feel Obama gutted the military, since it wasn’t by starving it of funding.
Obama inherited Iraq and Afghanistan, the budgets set themselves. Reminds me of the Bin Laden issue, what’s he gonna say “no”? C’mon man…..political suicide.
No doubt, although the wars were ramping down as he took office. In particular, before Obama became president Bush signed an agreement specifying a timetable for the removal of US troops from Iraq. Nonetheless, under Obama military spending actually continued to rise in 2009, 2010, and 2011. As the wars petered out spending came down a little, but still at a far higher level than pre-Iraq days.
So Obama fed contractors better than Bush? Obama got less bang for his buck?
Both parties love feeding that particular animal.
Yeah…cue 65
Not even the judge
the budget is often broken out by “military” and then there’s also a overseas component, and you have to be careful from what line item you take each of the budget numbers and what you include; but given the shift… BRAC… drones, etc., you’d think on a baseline dollar basis, the baseline (non-overseas operations) should be sliding down a bit in real dollars. but we might need to go ahead and conquer North America and tax the natural resources more, making the European-Mexicans and French-Canadians our slaves. That should help balance the budget.
Sincerely,

Too much land mass to manage. Gorilla tactics would be a serious pain in the ass.
Better to slowly teeter them over an economic cliff and present ourselves as the solution…in an annex.
the main road from Toronto to Buffalo would have 10,000 crosses with 10,000 corpses on them.
same with the road from Edmonton to Calgary.
and most of the slaves you take back and sell, distributing them so it is difficult for uprising, and re-settle with loyal citizens. that’s how we do.
-Rome
Buy the politicians. Win the people.
Have your own army, kill the politicians.
-The Caesar
That may not have worked out so well
As they say, the truth is an absolute defense to libel.
so long as that is in adjusted dollars and both account for the same um… “operations” (line items)
Here’s an interesting relevant question: what, exactly, was the Redskins’ high water mark since the 1992 Super Bowl win? To me, it’s the 2000 playoff game against Tampa, because they were a botched snap away from getting back to the NFC Championship Game that day. That was a Casserly era team.
I’d say you are probably right, or the playoff run under Gibbs 2.0 when they got to the 2nd round that year and lost to Seattle 11-7, that team was darn good. Why they couldn’t build off that success boggles me.
Steve Thomas Team Captain Lbsand • 17 minutes ago
The funny thing is that I remember thinking at the time that Charlie Casserly was awful. Little did I know that the Casserly era would be the high water mark of the next 25 years.
_____________
Deserves re-posting.
Yea, he had a good year or 2… that’s about it
…and since we’ve had a good year or 2
Sad, but you’re probably right. Current organization doing better. But, over the last 20 years, Casserly was defeinitely up there as a high water mark (until possibly the past two years).
Boy, Euro soccer fans sure are touchy. You make one little soccer joke and they jump all over you.
Why are you talking to Euro soccer fans?
And where?

Well alright.
Peter Gordon is a douchebag.
He harasses us all the time. I usually ignore him.
Why follow someone if all you want to do is harass them?
because….. douchebag!
I mean… have you read the comments sections here?
They shoot mortars at each other in the stadium…
At least they won’t kill a ref… this only happens in South America
Yeah, they cut that one guys head off or something.
This doesn’t shock me. And you didn’t even go at them very hard.
Soccer is a great sport…for kids who can’t hit a baseball.
For poor kids
And kids born with no arms.
Certainly not resource intensive. Sure am glad my kids didn’t take a shine to hockey. Ice time + pads = 2nd mortgage.
ptttb… it’s not even Man City, they’re sending us the also-rans
we’ve devalued the draft for so long in this organization its literally not sustainable. Gave away picks like they were candy for guys like B. Lloyd, Ducket and RG3. its about as simple as that…
Jason Taylor
It’s not just that simple, that’s part of it.
oh I think it is that simple. Paying a high priced FA on the tail end of his career within a hard cap isn’t how you build or sustain success. Drafting a developing guys to their potential and ideally trading them for more picks and continuing that cycle is how you build. We do the opposite.
See steelers, Pats, Vikings, Packers
Don’t forget about the native american curse too. That’s def playing a role in all this losing.
Them damn Mic Mac Indians.
and the Paddywaks!
Bloyd
That’s the intersection of “Blows” and “Lloyd”
Joe Gibbs should never have retired in the first place….it’s all his fault. Selfish NASCAR endeavors….screw him.
Once Beathard left…
once free agency…
The funny thing is that I remember thinking at the time that Charlie Casserly was awful. Little did I know that the Casserly era would be the high water mark of the next 25 years.
Once Dan Snyder…
These kind of numbers should be presented to the ownership. 1/4 of a century of pure suck.
It’s not impossible to think that Redskins PR reads this. We know they’ve read and listened to some of our stuff in the past.
I mean we all know we haven’t been good as a franchise for a while…but to see it all laid out like this and in regards to the teams that have been successful….its very very stark.
conclusion – we’ve sucked for 25 years. Next question…

lol at this
since Tax Day is nigh upon us…
Though the IRS has periodically upgraded its computing system, today’s system is still running the same code, which was written nearly 60 years ago. Most of it is in the Assembly programming language, which the IRS itself has described as “antiquated” and “inflexible.” Worse, the number of programmers who can understand and maintain the code behind the Individual Master File (IMF) dwindles with every passing year. According to the Government Accountability Office, the IMF and its business counterpart (the BMF) are the oldest computing systems used by the federal government. (The runner-up in this dubious contest is the software used to coordinate the nation’s nuclear weapons.)
so in summary the 3 oldest computer systems for the federal government are the two revenue collection systems and the nuclear war system
makes it less likely for some kid to hijack nuclear war or tax revenue?
probably, we had millennials cry when we tried to teach them assembler
ye pertneart ain’t much of ye man if’n ye can’t program in Assembler
Flat Tax. Fix it for ’em.
Flat tax, you’ed have to set it to 35 or 40%% to balance the budget.
Sounds like The Peoples Republic of California.
Well, thank that big old tax cut that got passed.
Yeah, no free lunches.
I dunno, the free lunch program would count for something like .0001% of that.
Though, once the national debt gets paid off you can probably drop it about 5%.
I was thinking 6, but like you idea even better.
Not down too 5%, but down to 25%-30%,
O. ‘Never mind’…
It’s what running/living in a country that isn’t 3rd world costs. Granted we could just gut the military, shift global protection to the UN and Europe and probably cut it in half.
This is such leftist bullshit
I’m just saying these are the things you pay for with taxes, like it or not, if you want to pay significantly less in taxes you have to gut services.
Gut services then… that’s not the intended roll of the govt. That’s leftist justifiction (and righties to be fair) for stealing more of our money.
We’ve already gutted the military thanks to our 44th president and the gutless wonders in congress during those 8 years of hell.
OMG, are you for real? Military spending under Obama was at roughly DOUBLE the rate of military spending prior to the Iraq War. It was higher than military spending was at the HEIGHT of the Iraq War.
Jesus. Go back and check out the budget cuts and what that spending was actually for. You have no idea what you’re talking about at all when it comes to the military.
…or anything really. He has zero clue. He thinks all money belongs to the government, too.
Always. Wrong.
SCamp lives in a fact-free zone. Don’t confuse him with reality.
Not even your mother
Jesus, I actually checked the facts before I posted that, and you should do the same before you spout more nonsense.
Military budget by year (billions):
2000: $304
2007: $625
2015: $637
Not
Anyone
In fact, in 2010 and 2011 Obama had bigger military budgets than Bush had in ANY year of his presidency.
http://www.info-quest.org/animations/USA_AUSTRAILA.gif
Not sure if this is a pro or con statement for being a first world nation?
There will be no gutting of the military. You can’t just call time out, in real life, regardless of your opinion of past deeds.
I’m not actually advocating gutting it, I’m saying stop bitching about paying taxes if you want to stay a world leader.
We need to start seeing a return, where I’m at.
Spoken like a true leftist
Spoken like someone who wants to live in the third world.

No one takes you seriously…
No. One.
… you mean the one where the CBO just came out and said it’s paying for itself?
Depends on who’s propaganda you follow. It will likely boost the economy and fuel massive deficits for the federal government at the same time, it’s just like any time there’s an infusion of money from one area to the other. Will it increase average salaries long term? I’ve not seen any numbers on average salaries from 2016-2018.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-fiscal-deficit/republican-tax-cuts-to-fuel-historic-u-s-deficits-cbo-idUSKBN1HG2RW
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-09/cbo-sees-benefits-of-u-s-republican-tax-cuts-peaking-in-2022
Those are propaganda… the CBO, which is non partisan, tells it’s own story.
https://www.cbo.gov/publication/53651
You mean this where they say the think the economic spike is going to die down by mid 2018 and go back to a 1.9% growth rate?
There’s a real difference between actual (which has the actual rate much higher than they initially predicted) and predicted. I mean, you see that right? Their initial prediction was WAAAY off… so we should buy their future prediction? Especially when anyone with a real economic background that ISN’T a partisan hack said their prediction was way off? How about you stick to, you know, ACTUAL numbers reported by the CBO instead of PREDICTIONS.
This is how propaganda is made…
Sure, the predictions are wrong all the time, but that is the best guesses from the CBO as to what will happen. Personally I don’t see the US going from now till 2028 with out another economic collapse at some point like they do, 20 years of growth in a political volatile climate every year just sound unlikely.
Sure sure… but the CBO gets numbers right… predictions wrong. I’ll stick to, you know, actual numbers.
Will they change? Probably…
The one number they probably are getting right, that the debt will keep on growing, I see no one politically with the clout to change things so that doesn’t happen.
Fucking Republicans… tanked it this year. Hypocrites
That is one of those areas I’m in agreement on with most conservatives, I’d like to see a balanced budget amendment, something that makes it mandatory unless there’s a war or recession.
I can’t believe there’s even a debate here…
Should be a given
The problem is that get to a balanced budget you’re going to have to raise taxes and cut spending. Republicans will never agree to a tax hike and neither party will agree to cut spending.
You are essentially correct. The other option is to find new ways to generate economic revenue that can then be taxed, like by legalizing and taxing marijuana sales.
the economy always spikes every spring (tax refunds) and every June/July and the Christmas season, because of 3 paychecks those months for people who get paid biweekly. when my wife was working June and December were glorious. I’d take a week off in July and one for the Holidays and a lot of that time was spent with a crow bar and impact driver, and a lot of that “cheer” ($$$) went to Home Depot, Lowes, Lumber Liquidators… etc.
Well the economic spike we’re in right now has been going on for longer than that. Like I said above, I’m way more interested in seeing if average salaries are going up for the middle class than I am looking at things like stock prices.
It appears that the tax cuts, which Republicans claimed would boost middle class income by $4,000 to $9,000 on average, are actually boosting middle class incomes by closer to $300 – $400 per year. At the same time, firms like Goldman Sachs are seeing huge jumps in profitability.
my estimate for myself is $3,000.
but, based on the County, they’re going to raise property taxes and take prob a quarter of that back away
Again, don’t confuse SCamp with facts. They don’t agree with him.
Not even your wife
I don’t mind arguing with Scamp, I got a thick skin and enjoy the debate.
I enjoy debate as well, but SCamp doesn’t debate. He says something obviously wrong, you point out the error, and he spends the rest of the day dropping silly insults.
^^^ What?! LOL
Yep… economic growth has increased tax revenue to the tune of 65% of the cost.
Already paying for itself…
HAHAHA!! So “paying for itself” now means, 35% of it is going straight to debt, and in any case there is no way you attribute a few months of seasonal growth to the effects of the tax cuts. What the CBO has actually said is that the tax cuts will add trillions to the debt in the coming decades.
instant economic Depression
I don’t know, maybe a housing collapse taking that much more money from 90% of the population.
the housing collapse would be near total.
We suck.
Very good summary
if it weren’t for the Browns…..
So what does they day crew think of the latest mock update I posted last night (from 85 mocks)
Vea with the big lead now
Vita Vea, DT, Washington 27
Derwin James, S, Florida State 14
Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State 10
Da’Ron Payne, DT, Alabama 10
Roquan Smith, ILB, Georgia 5
Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virginia Tech 4
Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama 4
Minkah Fitzpatrick, DB, Alabama 3
Marcus Davenport, DE, Texas-San Antonio 2
Josh Jackson, CB, Iowa 2
Mike Hughes, CB, Central Florida 1
Maurice Hurst, DL, Michigan 1
James Daniels, C/G, Iowa 1
Isaiah Wynn, G, Georgia 1
Brilliant
Any of the top 6 sound good to me.
And we’ll likely get one of ’em if 4 QB’s go top 12 plus Barkley, Nelson and Chubb.
Substitute Fitzpatrick for Ward and I agree.
Fair point, let’s make it top 7.
Tremaine is steady climbing, a good stock to get in on….1 than 2 than 3 than 4!
72% of the picks are the 1st 4 guys
Onwards and upwards!!!!!!!! Follow me!!!!!!!
Do these all reflect pick 13 or are there trade downs involved?
So a guy who was banned for life from driving for multiple DUIs tried to back a friend’s car out of tight parking space at the local bar
he drove forward into the bar crashing injuring two
of course he was drunk at the time

A: Depends
Ewww
I’m not proud of myself
Oof!
AHAHAHAHAAAA!!!
he was only 59
my grandpa got to the age where, given most of his driving was on farm, he’d just put the car in reverse
most of the vehicles or equipment he hit was is own, so… last few years of farming he went through pickups at twice his normal rate. also fell asleep during the day while driving quite a bit. which isn’t as much of an issue on a tractor, unless you hit the pivot or irrigation motor. or the road maintainer (grader). pretty much everything else is a speed bump. and that should wake ya.
Old people driving is a problem that needs to be addressed by the lawmakers…but that will never happen because no lawmaker would survive the political fallout at the ballot box from the old people who vote.
Situation where democracy is actually bad for society.
driving is a privilege not a right
Not like there’s universal public transit in the country.
sure there is. roads.
that’s why in FL they build places like Villages and Sun City Center where are the old people stuff is close around and they can drive slow moving golf carts eveywhere
A good option if people can afford it.
In some states they are better about re-testing the elderly. I’m not sure about every state.
My grandmother realized on her own she didn’t want to drive anymore after 84 or so, even though she wasn’t a bad driver, still had good vision and reaction time.
Awesome day here, new mats and urinal cakes in the mensroom

Hope has Delta Farce tracking down Flounders IP address so they can neutralize him
Again last in the league at stopping the run
Until they change the players it’s gonna happen again
We don’t have a DC who can scheme up to overcome
I agree we need more DL help, but the truth is that our starting IDL were out or injured most of the year, and we also lost one of our starting ILBs for the year. If those guys can stay mostly healthy then our run D should improve without any additions.
the line for the offense had 17 different lineups and we still scored more than enough points to win more games
where is Rick? Haven’t seen him lately
He’s around.

The browns were also out of the NFL for 3 seasons.
Yes, true, I probably should’ve mentioned that, but they’d have been in last place for these no matter what. If I update this, I’ll make a note of it though.
Yes but the numbers would probably be closer than w we’d like
It was too much brain damage for me to do these on a pro-rata basis to account for that. But I might update this post to note the Browns thing.
Not trying to make you do extra work, but 2 of those seasons (96-97) the skins had winning records.
The problems with the Redskins is multifaceted
1. The new owner treated the franchise like a fantasy league team
2. Got rid of Casselry instead of Turner (not that Charlie was the long term FO solution)
3. Never developed a leadership cadre in the organization
4. Poor free agency and drafting at different multiple points in that span
5. Failed to adapt to changes in the CBAs in post-Gibbs years
6. Team focus more on marketing than football sucess
7. Not following the trend of using high tech medical and training practices
8. Ran PR for team like a drunk in a mine field.
it’s a rich cornucopia
#5 is key, but also, before Snyder
2012 gutted the teams lifeline to building thru the draft
Casserly drafted very poorly until his last season.
Why is Dallas’s strong suit
Running the ball
And why is that?
Because they spent 3 high first round picks on the OL
We keep trying to win with flotsam on the DL
They also spent a high 1st round draft pick on a RB.
When it was time…
It’s time here.
We don’t have their pass rush, we don’t have their Oline, we are in flux in the secondary, we don’t have their linebackers
All we’re missing on the OL is a LG. Everyone else is in place long-term.
We need defense, what about Jones? You like him?
Matt Jones was terrible from day one.
No, not him. The USC back.
With who exactly at left guard???
afterwards
Could Fat Rob have the same results behind that line?
No
And the ewok, as much as I hate him, is outstanding.
Booooo
‘That boy good!’
‘Yeah, good and bad.’
Wow, stat overload! Good stuff.
I do what I can.
Primary Starters by round, 2010-2015 Drafts
Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Round 5 Round 6 Round 7
Starters 159 122 101 66 50 34 29
In % 83% 64% 49% 30% 23% 15% 11%
Hard to read, just know that after the 3rd round where half become starters, it falls like a rock….Oh, we don’t have a 3rd rounder btw
so, if’n I draft a 2nd and 4th round DL, 94% chance of getting a starter?
lol, no
Gee, that’s like 2 months of posts for us – TLTR
— WaPo
Professionals do it worse?
Noticeably better across the board except on defense
Then posts how he wants to draft Guice in the first
Yes, I do, very much. I think the DL will be significantly better next year. I’d prioritize RB.
Until JAllen plays 16 the DL is suspect
can’t rely on just one really good dlineman either.
1000 times this
Amen!
I would take a defensive player at any position before I took a RB . They’ve been bottom dwellers for years .
me too
Our RB group is one of the worst in the NFL. This team is in desperate need for a ball-handling difference maker, and the front office has essentially stated that. To me, the priority of needs goes LG, RB, DL.
Offense wasn’t the problem with this team the last 3 years.
The running game was most definitely part of the problem, particularly last year.
we scored enough on average to win…could not stop anyone
Our entire defensive front seven, essentially, was injured. They were actually pretty decent in the first qtr of the season when everyone was healthy.
Our o-line had 17 different lineups so…..
^Injuries will happen. Period.
some of that was the many different O Line combinations also . I’d love to have a top shelf RB , don’t get me wrong .
They have to put up thirty plus points to win nearly every week . The last two and three minutes before each half have been abysmal.
Nobody wants to rely on just one good lineman.
Point being, Ion is decent but Allen is the only really good one we have. Pair him with another please. That’s why I want Hankins so badly. Proven player and young too.
What I should’ve said is that I think the run defense as a whole will be significantly better next year.
Couldn’t be much worse
Amen!
Oh yes it could.
-The Injured Reserve
We were dead last weren’t we?
Hard to be worse than worst
I agree with the general prioritization sentiment, but don’t make it a false choice.
the false choice here is that the defense can only get better with a 1st round pick. Ioannidis was what, a 4th round pick?
lucky, very lucky…the chances of landing a good starter fall precipitously after the 3rd round
5th round. And I totally agree with mike. There are some quality DL available lower in the draft, too.
^They’ll all get manhandled.
they prob also need a CB and a fast LB at OLB or ILB
Our FO is just fine! Quit picking on them.
-Flounder, and many others tbf.
I knew it was bad but didn’t realize just how awful…. I’m surprised fans still show up tbh.
I don’t think it’s all on the front office…the players play the games. I just listed the cumulative results.
who brings in the players? FO gets credit or blame. period.
Do Dan Snyder or Bruce Allen wear pads?
Mr. Steve, who brings in the players? If the FO brings in players that are average at best and expects the team to win, that’s on them. Coaches too. We’ve had an abysmal record as you astutely point out in your article. It’s on the FO
Here’s the point, and I think I’ve pointed this out in two straight columns: leadership is most definitely to blame for years and years of mediocrity, for sure. But at the same time, the players need to play to the best of their abilities, and we’ve seen that not happen time and time again. Everyone’s at fault.
Average players, playing at their peak, isn’t enough. We’ve had a dearth of talent on this team forever. It’s not hard to understand. Compton playing at his best just isn’t good enough. FO has made lousy choices over and over…it’s on them.
Albert Haynesworth laid down on the field. That’s on him.
Your support for your argument goes to 1 player? OK….and, again, our FO brought that turd here.
The “go to” fail player of all time, no less….
I could name a whole list of players. I can’t believe you guys want to just absolve the players of all responsibility out of sheer hatred for Bruce Allen. Of course the players bear some blame.
I don’t hate anyone. I, lucidly, understand that our FO brings in players. The players they bring in either are good or not. Few guys lay down on the field. We’ve had too many Comptons and not enough Fletchers
^Compton Hater.
love his effort, just not good enough
Objection! Misleading, Speculation, er’rytang!
The FO brought that turd here…
If you’re bringing in players that are traditionally half assers or sub par players…
I am not a half asser . I am an entire ass.
McClain
C’mon man, really? Responsibility.
Amen! (I love saying that!) Chik-fil-a was so good yesterday too. I might have to go back today…
