Redskins roster still has holes in key areas, but team is content with the draft approach
March 30, 2018
by Jamual Forrest
If you were taking bets on the type of off-season the Washington Redskins would have before free agency started, one would have taken the side of aggressive over conservative. You would’ve lost and been pretty upset in how content the Redskins were with their decision. It is a pretty confusing approach given the needs at positions in which there were viable options in free agency. Washington was victorious, well possibly victorious, in snagging one of the better receivers on the market this off-season in Paul Richardson Jr. The only issue is that he may end up being the highlight veteran signing upon conclusion of the 2018 season for the Redskins. The holes that remain at offensive guard, running back, tight end and defensive line are too numerous to merely get fixed via one draft class.
The Redskins were able to re-sign Mason Foster, Zack Brown, Quinton Dunbar, Deshazor Everett, Brian Quick, and Dustin Hopkins this off-season. Being able to retain a few of your players is always key to team-building. However, the loss of role players such as Su’a Cravens, Trent Murphy, Ryan Grant, and likely Junior Galette will indeed sting. Bashaud Breeland, Kendall Fuller, and Spencer Long were quality starters who will be difficult to replace as well, but role players play an even more critical part knowing that depth is what keeps a team together.
The Redskins have done what they can to replace some of their own, such as acquiring outside linebacker Pernell McPhee, cornerback Orlando Scandrick, and quarterback Alex Smith. McPhee, who has been battling injuries in recent years, will be a reliable addition as a rotational player if he can be available for at least 12 games this year. The issue is not with the moves they have made, but more so the moves that they were okay with passing on. There were a few defensive line plays that could have been made this off-season, but Sheldon Richardson and Muhammad Wilkerson signed with Minnesota and Green Bay respectively. Those were two players who would have likely been excellent additions to the roster. Jonathan Hankins is also still available and taking visits even after visiting Washington. However, what is the Redskins interest level in him? What is Hankins’ interest in the Redskins?
Outside of the nonchalant, or patient, approach, however way you want to look at it, the Redskins have a solid belief based off their actions that the draft will net them the players that will make them legit competitors week in-and-out in 2018. The draft is a little less than a month away, so time will tell how well they play the hand they are dealt when the time comes.

Josey Jewell sounds like a “football” player, the right kind of guy to pair next to Brown.
Agree with Scamp that I pass on Sony there. Might take a CB there.
take a guard there in the second, not Sony
No POONA??? Fail
I’d love the first 4 picks, Falk, PJ Hall, Facyson

The speedometer of a Washington state family’s SUV was “pinned” at 90 mph when the vehicle was found Monday afternoon, crushed along the rocks of a Northern California shoreline, court documents say.
Authorities included the information in an affidavit for a search warrant for the home of Jennifer and Sarah Hart, adoptive parents of six children — all of whom are believed to have perished when the vehicle plunged off the Pacific Coast Highway, Fox 12 Oregon reported.
The two women and three of the children were found dead at the crash site Monday, but it was unclear how much time had elapsed between the accident and the discovery.
Three other children are missing and may have been carried out to sea, authorities have said.
Mechanical or Electrical malfunction with the throttle?
If not, WTF? You wanna play Thelma and Louise, fuck it, but leave the kids at Grandma’s.

Sucking up to Steve mock.
Draft like this….if they can get some playing time… Good stuff. I got Guice a G or 2. Facyson one of my favs at CB..but thats based on more Fresh/soph years. PJ Hall needs to be studied ! WRs are Monk like. No drops and sky the limit. Again…good stuff lol
Nice draft !! Blue chippers all way down the board !!
Vander Esch won’t make it past the 2nd round.
Nope
‘Jonathan Allen wont make it to 17’ …
When your wife gets mad at you, just tell her that she’s overreacting.

Hindsight vs Foresight….So if Mack Brown could have had a true audition last season wonder if RB would be so involved in the offseason vocabulary…. I doubt it. I see Brown as a comp to several of these “got it all” RBs in the draft. Regardless remains to be seen if this crew can pick properly rotate and play an A/B vs the D/Fs last few years. Biggest area of Fail imo…and not real confident really this area hits a homerun w same crew. We will see soon enuf.
Not knocking Perine or CT etc at all as much as when they/others were or weren’t on the field fwiw
Happy Easter everyone! Christ is risen!

I had either of you two posting that, nailed it.
I thought about doing that, but decided to let it rest. DC just couldn’t pass it up.
Like a fat carrot, lol
the amateurs don’t know the proper response
ahem
He Is Risen Indeed! Hallelujah!
Last thought on Cravens…would have at least waited til draft day to trade. Initially and actually would have waited til preseason or even early season for higher value trade… if dude wants to really play…preseason before final cuts would have been the time for all parties to shake and bake. Not March.
I think the FO just wanted to be done with this POS and wanted the distractions to be eliminated. Denver came calling and I’m not sure if any other teams showed interest but I assume the FO struck while the iron was hot and made the deal happen.
I guess. But needs arise. Injuries happen thruout early. Holding out for a bit for better wouldnt have hurt much imo..but my take is sour cuz he was 2nd rd pick and 5th in return after just 1 yr playing just don’t cut it imo. Im in the minority but ..meh
Some late notes…. Lamar Jacksons Wonderlic of 13 > than not running the 40 at his pro day. Dudes wanna play pro ball but dont wanna throw or run at combine or pro days….hmmmm.
If you pull up w an injury when you 100%…hammy..press etc….??
It is April. Hankins signing month and Draft month ! Hopefully in favor of Washington.
Happy Easter folks. 😊

I would make a comment, but on this blog, you get attacked for talking anything race related.
you can say whatever you’d like Rick I consider you a Blog friend for sure. But reading the article I didn’t pick up on race at all I picked up on probably inappropriate teacher-student interactions for Middle School students.
I’m talking about what the race of the teacher and student are not what was said of course.
“America has never been great for minorities”
You could try living in Africa… tell us what you think after living there for a few years…
Are Mexicans or many other South Americans considered minorities? Because they have been trying to get here, through pain of death many times, for decades.
I would certainly agree that slavery was not a good time in our history…

Tuesday Night
A handful of international athletes who would like to see if they have what it takes to make it in the NFL went to Tampa to work out in front of scouts last weekend, and one athlete stood out: Jordan Mailata.
Mailata is a 20-year-old, 6-foot-8, 346-pound Samoan rugby player who currently competes for a team in Sydney, Australia, and he showed that he has the natural athleticism to play at the NFL level. He had a 5.12-second 40-yard dash and a 4.67-second short shuttle, both of which are excellent times for a man his size.
that’s a big dude, moving VERY fast….
wonder how his hands are…as a 280 pound TE?
https://youtu.be/oH233ZDm-BA
looks like a man playing with boys
Yeah, I’d like to see him play in Rugby Union over in England. ImI guessing he’s second row (lock). 16 is a substitute # in Rugby League. He’d likely be a #4, 5, 6, or 7 in Union. He runs well, probably a #6 or 7 (flanker).
Looks like he’s playing against a bunch of slow white guys. This highlight reel might not translate the same in the NFL.
Hence the comment about wanting to see him play in the Rugby Union, vs. League. The Premiership in England.
Do you have any rocky bottom structure where you fish, Greg? Any points with riprap and a nice drop-off?
gosh yeah, the place i fished today was a quarry that while they were digging they hit an underground stream…

Wow interesting conversation I had
“There are no mass shootings in Australia because the government confiscated all the guns”
I said “gee, I work with people who live in Australia and I know for a fact they own guns and actually go hunting”
I was then called a liar and told I was spreading a false narrative
Man, when this country get so completely stupid
So actual facts are now a false narrative
That’s how it works.
In response to a wave of mass shootings, the government banned assault weapons — not all guns. I don’t think there have been any mass shootings since the ban, but I think crime in general has also declined (and was declining before the ban).

yeah, i need to expand my repertoire, i’m mostly soft plastics for lm/sm bass…
Something that’s really fun in the early spring on the James River is lip hooking a shiner with no weight and just flipping it. The smallmouth are on ‘um like stink on shit. Crawdad colors and soft plastic crawdads work great also. I’ve caught 4 and 5 pounders out of the current break holes below our dams in January (snow on the ground) with live crawfish and creek minnows (small chubs). Rig it up like a Carolina rig and just hit different spots along the current break. (Same thing applies to plastic). They’ll have almost no color because they’ve been chilling in the hole letting food wash by.
Nats got the offense going today .

Yeah I agree. But I think this goes both ways. You’ve got people like “Steve Thomas” or whatever his real name is that also belittle, talk down, and act so self righteous that it’s hard to even take him seriously. Both sides should soften their tone- it’s comical to me that Walter is being called out as some sort of outlier in this community. Especially when you see the opposing views from some of these people that are far worse imo than anything Walter posts.
If your mantra is “live and let live” then you shouldn’t be so offended by Walt.

Hey WG:
I can’t tell you how little I care about your opinion of me or my views. I’m not that type of person, either online or in real life. I have my principals and they are uncompromising, and I live exactly the way I speak here. I hold my beliefs about drugs for reasons that i won’t disclose here and I’m not going to change just because people like you don’t like it. If you don’t like it, tough. I don’t need your approval, your respect, or for you to take me seriously, not seriously, or any way at all. You do your thing, I’ll do mine, and I’ll continue to express my views however I see fit. I don’t call anyone names and I don’t insult people on a personal level, but I strongly disagree with some of the views expressed here, and I’m going to keep presenting my opinions as the conversation warrants.
Fair enough Steve.
As far as football topics- I do want to go on record as saying I totally disagree with you about Josh Allen though! I think he will be an awesome pro eventually.

very good season
Thank you. We are running short on shows to watch and will definitely start in on this one next week.
Americans is back too!
I just finished watching Queen of the South and Glitch and now I want to see the next season’s They both are interesting in different ways very different ways.
Regarding Arby’s.
Just get the regular roast beef. That’s it.
Mentioned Sam Houston State DT P.J. Hall before, but I didn’t realize then what a physical freak this guy is.
“Tampa Bay had a scout in attendance at the Sam Houston State pro day to see Hall put on a show. Hall, who didn’t get an invitation to the NFL Scouting Combine, weighed in at 6-foot-1, 308 pounds and ran a 4.83 into the with and a 4.71 with the wind in the 40-yard dash. That would have been the fifth fastest time in the 40-yard dash for a defensive tackle in Indy.
Hall posted a 38-inch vertical leap, which would have been the second-best measurement, and his 36 reps of 225 pounds would have been the third-best bench press totals. Hall, whose football idol is Houston Texans Pro Bowl defensive end J.J. Watt, ran faster, jumped higher and lifted more than Watt did at his pro day years ago. Watt ran a 4.84 at 290 pounds, bench pressed 34 reps and had a 37-inch vertical.”
“As a four-year starter, Hall recorded 284 tackles, 86.5 tackles for loss for minus-406 yards, 42 sacks for minus-235 yards, an astonishing 29 pass breakups, nine forced fumbles, four interceptions, one fumble recovery and one safety. Granted it was against FCS competition, but that amount of production is simply remarkable at any level.
Oh, I forgot to mention he blocked 14 kicks at Sam Houston State. That’s not a typo. Hall had 14 blocked kicks in college.”
14 blocked kicks is amazing! Thanks for the tidbit.
Amazing for anyone, but at 6’1″ and 300+ lbs? And a 38″ vert. for a guy that size is insane.
Sign him up!
Old news
Broncos Safety @IammSuzy: I am excited & grateful for the opportunity. If I learned anything in the past year things can change in the blink of an eye so for the fact that Denver went out of the way to bring me here…I really appreciate it & will give them everything I got.
I have a HUGE problem with him posting this. and I have a HUGE problem with anyone in the media who isn’t eviscerating him for this too…
HUGE. He got paid a year’s salary by the team, which was if i’m not mistaken, 800 k, for not doing anything, and for him to act ‘grateful’ to the Bronco’s…..
Hard not to root for him to fail and fail hard….
Who is this guy I’ve never heard of him
I don’t think he ever really existed
I can’t get there yet noone….you don’t act like this…I wish we played the Bronco’s this year…
Kaiser Soze!
Hey Suzy,
We also learned over this past year that things can change in the blink of an eye, when our projected starting strong safety whom we drafted really high, upped and decided to retire from football a day after camp.
Signed,

Greg- are you sure that he got paid for last year? I don’t think he did but I honestly do not know.
WG, almost 100 percent sure. He was placed on the exempt list, he still gets paid, but doesn’t accrue a year of service.
almost sure.
I don’t think he got placed on that commissioner exempt list.
I don’t think he got any salary for last year. At least that was my understanding of his status. He didn’t count against our cap.
looks like I was WG’ed
Meh, you always have good data.
Yep- FF is the man. Always appreciate what he brings to the discussion.
a real cum-by-yahh moment
Arby’s, synonymous with sandwiches thanks to its 3,400 restaurants in seven countries, introduced the “Miami Cuban” this month as one of three new U.S. regional favorites.
Critics found much not to like, including the idea that the classic Cuban could be anything but a Tampa invention.
Now, the annual Cuban Sandwich Festival is coming to Ybor City and the founders hope to clear the palate of this fast-food version with fresh-made delights from more than 40 teams competing for the title of best Cuban.
“I don’t think it should be named either,” Padilla said. “They should just call it the Arby’s Cuban.”
Or maybe a “subcuban,” he suggests, since it bears only passing resemblance to the traditional sandwich.
that’s how little the Cuban sandwich experts think of Arby’s Cuban
Believe, Religiously, and politically what you want.
I’ll do the same, and better yet, I’ll allow you to do that…and I’d expect the same back.

Yeah I agree. But I think this goes both ways. You’ve got people like “Steve Thomas” or whatever his real name is that also belittle, talk down, and act so self righteous that it’s hard to even take him seriously.

If your mantra is “live and let live” then you shouldn’t be so offended by Walt.
Amen!
You used to say “live and let live”, you know you did you know you did you know you did, but if this ever-changing world in which we live in, makes you give in and cry……….LIVE AND LET DIE!

when someone is hurt or sick
medicine and doctors take care of their physical being
thoughts and prayers take care of their mental well being
a positive attitude can help in getting better that is a medical fact
there is no reason to make fun of people’s beliefs
…unless you want to start a blog fight
assuming you’re speaking of wif, he’s LONG tried to ridicule anyone who is in any way religious….poo-pooing anyone who is a ‘believer’ of any type.
I agree noone.
I seem to recall a particularly rough patch, maybe one year ago, where someone really could have benefited from thoughts and prayers, had that person believed in such things.
There’s 2 types of questions –
1) honest ones where you are genuinely seeking an answer or a viewpoint
2) dishonest loaded “rhetorical” ones where you’re already pretty sure you think you know the answer, but you are asking it to poke someone else in the eye or make a not-so-subtle point
If they are asked in the spirit of (1), then one should expect a certain response rather than if they are asked in the spirit of (2).
So I’m perfectly clear: I won’t pretend that I am inside the mind of our friend Walter when he asks his faith-related questions.
But I will say that in about 90% of my personal interactions with self-avowed atheists, the faith-related questions they pose are in the spirit of (2).
Rypien must read
http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2018/mar/30/walking-his-darkest-path-mark-rypiens-long-struggl/
Sad.
It is sad. It struck me reading this story that- and I hate to say this- Rypien seems surrounded by family that enables and excuses some really serious criminal behavior. His wife all but writes off the abuse and “Poor decisions”.
That’s crazy and although I take the CTE thing seriously- it is not an excuse to hurt people.
I wonder if all the people bashing Cravens understand that maybe he didn’t quit- maybe he is actually torn about ending up like so many of his predecessors but is drawn to the money he could make so is very uncomfortably playing a game that he may not think is worth it.
Cravens could have simply been more honest and forthcoming about what was going on if he had a growing concern over the perception. He could have simply said – “I am getting treatment for a concussion syndrome. It’s killing me that I can’t be with the team and my teammates, but I’m sure everyone understands steps I have to take for my personal health.”
Isn’t that basically what he has said?
He should have said that when he left the team. Not a couple days after the team traded him that he now pledges his allegiance to football and his teammates.
Uh- he did say that last year.
The first time I heard this was when his agent issued a public statement months after Cravens left the team saying that Cravens had been in treatment and was ready to come back. Then Cravens issued some vague twitter post about people needing to hear the “whole story”. So instead of months of being underground with it; my point was that he could have/should have made such a statement as soon as it happened, but he didn’t. And I’m 99% sure he didn;t b/c he was ready to flat-out quit football until his people talked him out of it later on. Now he’s on a PR mission to restore his reputation.
In a pair of morning tweets sent during his drive from his Mar-a-Lago estate to the nearby Trump International Golf Club, the president argued that Amazon costs the U.S. Postal Service billions of dollars in potential revenue.
Trump has repeatedly advanced this theory, even though officials have explained to him that Amazon’s contracts with the Postal Service are profitable for the agency.
———
This is absurd. What in the hell is this guy doing getting in the weeds about Amazon?
Bezos founded Amazon
Bezos owns WaPo
Trump hates Wapo
Ergo..hit him where it hurts.
The USPS has a negotiated bulk rate with Amazon. That’s business, and Trump of all people, should understand that.
Amazon has the same bulk rate as every other major shipper that uses USPS
USPS makes tens of millions of dollars from Amazon, whereas it’s other business has been falling for decades. If Amazon disappeared tomorrow it would be very bad for USPS.
Bacon fest time at House of Blues! Ttyl!
Did Alex Smith throw many 50-50 balls during his career with the Chiefs? I keep reading that Doctson will benefit from that, but actually don’t remember AS doing that much?
He didn’t really ever have those type of receivers that I can remember. He was always asked to be a West Coast game manager…
Yes so why do we think he will now? Just curious.
He’s supposedly much more coachable… does what the coaches ask… while Kirk played it safe to pad his stats for the big money deal.
Hope so!
We’ll surely find out
Amen! 🙂

“He’s not a guy that’s going to get that five or six yards of separation right away. He’s a guy that builds up his speed. He can run. He can adjust to the ball like no other. His 41-inch vertical is documented, so that’s where he gets his separation — by leaping and adjusting to the ball.” Jay Gruden
But hey, what the fuck do we know? Kirky is……err, was, the cat’s meow.

Watch out for Cole coming outta pit row.
Happens every time I eat slaw.
Lol
And just for the record, Sua might be an exceptional football player, but he quit. You can’t just sweep that under the rug, he wasn’t sold out for the team, in a sport that you HAVE TO be sold out for.
He didn’t want to play football, he lied about his ‘vision’ in order to garner sympathy, he apparently lied about this whole ‘concussion’ thing that caused him to re-think football…and now he’s claiming that he wants to play for the bronco’s because they ‘want’ him…
Can’t have that on your team….that level of poison, that level of quit, the lying, the self aggrandizing, think for a minute about what he’s gonna say to the younger players…..you simply carve that out, and you move on.
Quitters and spitters, throw them away! lol
This guy is bound to be broke and penniless… living in some sort of fantasy world
Only recently did I learn that he quit on his college team too. Don’t know what exactly Scott MC was thinking, but he was a bad pick!
Yea… Scot had some curious picks and awful free agents. Maybe he had been drinking too much 😉
I think Joe Berry was pushing for Suzy
One of my issues with Cravens was that he was a player that Barry didn’t really have a scheme for. Too small to be a Thumper, and too slow to be a DB. A sort of “hybrid” player that we had never deployed before. Big risk at 2nd round.
Then he bitched about being cast as an LB, and quit as a DB.
He was a curious pick… high risk high reward… or in this case high cost
Little down time on vacation. Thought to check the blog and see what’s going on. Now that I see….
Oh, real quick, someone tell Buck that they’re letting me in the pace car next week at the O’Reilly 500
Be kind. Rewind.
Seriously about the pace car?
Doesnt’ seem your style
oh, brother. i see the self-styled blog tough guy and cop is still at it. throwing around personal insults directed at posters.
there was a post about keyshon’s recovery and “thoughts and prayers”. i asked a simple question about whether prayers for jarrett worked.
Nope… just you bigot
Knock it off both of ya
the insults and personal attacks are coming only from scamp. am i not supposed to respond to personal attacks?
Only a blind man would think that bashing people’s religion isn’t a personal attack on a whole group of people.
I don’t see why you even let that guy post here. You guys clearly said you wouldn’t let things like racism stand… but you had 4 guys yesterday, even Steve, tell him to cut out the anti religion stuff… yet he continues. He disparages people based on an idea set forth in the Civil Rights act of 1964… it’s no different than racism… yet he continues
…and to be clear… I said nothing to him until he started this shit up again. Telling people that praying is “Fairy Tale” and the like…
i did not say that. that is your baggage.
Those were your exact words Walter…
when?!?!
Wow… you can’t even remember what you wrote.
Sad… I feel sorry for you.
Good bye Walter, you are not worth even another moments consideration… good riddance
you can’t find it because i did not say it.
The fact about prayers and faith in my opinion are that what we pray for we may not always receive, but we will receive what we need.
Redskins 2nd Round picks
2017 Ryan Anderson (?)
2016 Su’a Cravens (BUST; Gone)
2015 Preston Smith (good)
2014 Trent Murphy (Gone)
2013 David Amerson (Gone)
2012 No pick
2011 Jarvis Jenkins (Gone)
2010 No Pick (McNabb Trade)
2009 No Pick
They need to extend Smith, Scherff, and Crowder…fine that they’ve got all this cap space now, and all those picks next year, are we currently at 12 picks? use this money WISELY
Time to rewrite the home grown narrative
This is why I say the benefit of the doubt is gone for me about my team, just curious why some still allow it?
This team hasn’t earned the benefit of the doubt for over a decade now. time for them to EARN some good will.
Heading to the Murrells Inlet marshwalk here in a few… going to check out the fishing scene down there, too.
Creek Ratz is a cool spot. Friends of ours actually grew up there as the family home. It’s a restaurant bar now. Enjoy. Love Murrells Inlet, (the Inlet) as locals say, as in, “Going to the Inlet.” Some say, “Fixin to go to the inlet!”
Not “Finna go to the Inlet?”
No! Fixin’ is the corret way ’round here. lol
Subtle differences…
yes sir! enjoy
Supposedly the homeowners of the house we put the offer in on last night are signing the paperwork right now.
Awesome!
Without the injuries, or even half of them, I think the Redskins make the playoffs last year.
I still have an issue with the Redskins trading Su’a. Yeah, I understand they got something in return from him, but you can’t let a kid whine and bitch his way off the team. That sets a bad precedent. I’d have brought him to camp, buried him on the depth chart and made him earn his way back.
The Redskins should have taken a hard line on this clown.
read some of the stuff he’s saying now…it wasn’t ever, ever going to work out the way you hoped it would have
he woudl simply have quit again…and then what? you’re left with NOTHING.
he’s been enabled his whole life, and when things get hard, he quits. you can’t do anything with that.
If it sets a precedent those people that would follow his lead you would not want on this team anyway
Bingo, you think the coach’s wanted him around Nicholson, Holsey, or Moreau?
ABSOLFRIGGINLUTELY not..you can’t get that stink out of town fast enough.
Good point.
If you could choose between:
a. An exceptional athlete, but a bad attitude, and a perennial problem both on and off the field, or
b. A good athlete, who is committed to doing everything to help the team win
I’ll take “b” every time.
always….and twice on Sunday….high risk guys, just aren’t worth it.
do you want someone committed to the cause…or someone who is committed to themselves…and their level of enjoyment.
Sua was committed to what HE wanted…he could not care less about the team…and anything he say’s right now is shameful on his part.
OBJ, Gronk, Michael Irvin, Dez, etc. It is admirable to consider or think that we would always choose the B option but reality is we need better talent and some of these guys are just the best at their position in their Prime.
I tend to agree with you, HTTR. Of course, there are a few that are just way to disruptive. But for the most part, give me talent and athletic abillity.
This is the NFL a business in professions for these athletes. They’re grown men. They’re not all nice guys. It’s just not realistic to turn down Supreme talent in my opinion. If we had a chance and the cap space to have Odell Beckham jr. As a receiver give me him a hundred times out of a hundred.
Sua is a quitter
No question
This is part of the reason that I really like players like Ioannidis.
When I was at the Cardinals game in AZ in 2016, Ioannidis was by far the most intense and engaged player on the sideline, despite the fact that getting limited snaps on teams and to spell the DL. He was studying everything, writing notes, and 100% immersed in the game plan.
I’m in agreement with this philosophy as it pertains to our children’s leagues high school and college, however in the pros, you need Supreme talent to win. It is a profession at that level. The Terrell Owens, Charles Haley’s, Lawrence Taylor’s Etc of the league, were all head cases and more, but teams won with those guys because they were supremely talented. in the NFL you need the best talent and coaching to win and to be able to manage all those different personalities.
And the Redskins managed to win Super Bowls with players like Olkiewicz, Milot, Didier, Charley Brown, etc. Riggo was a head case, bot not a team cancer. Art Monk was an elite talent and a consummate professional. As was Darrell Green, Charles Mann, Dave Butz.
The team was stacked with football players,
Ah the Glory Days. Dexter Manley was a character as well. I think it’s a nostalgic but unrealistic expectation that we can find and field a team of nothing but choir boys and win the Super Bowl.
I don’t want choir boys. I want hard-nosed football players who will do whatever it takes to win. That usually involves teamwork.
Will Compton is an average athlete, but I would look for players with his mindset every day.
Anyone in the NFL is a superior athlete comparitively
True, but within the NFL, there exists myriad levels of ability. We need to field a team of those athletes that are not average within this realm, and certainly not below average imo.
Will Compton is a liability on defense In spite of his work ethic which is admirable
Will Compton was a good run stopper, but needed good DL’s in front of him to be really effective. His best year was the 1 season we actually had a NT, even if Pot Roast wasn’t great. If you put him on a team like LAR this year, he’s getting 100 tackles on the season.
he’s a jag and I want better than that
“A lot of people have the perception that I quit,” Cravens told SiriusXM NFL Radio. “I don’t look at it that way. I look at it as I took care of what I needed to do. My health is most important. Once I handled that, then I could come back. I didn’t really have the option to return, even when I did get cleared. I’m just ready to get back out on the field and play.”
Couple of things, for this enabled, molly coddled piece of self indulgent feces:
1. You did quit. You wanted to go home, do nothing get paid, and play when YOU wanted to play. The team stuck you on the “pay no mind” list, and moved on. No one cares HOW you look at it, there are the facts, and then there is your convoluted version of the events that happened.
2. 1-billion percent proof that there was simply NO WAY he could have come back to this team. That they got what they did is a HUGE win….You can say what you want, ‘they should have stuck him on special teams, etc’, he was going to be a divisive, problem in the locker room.
Win by getting something back in a trade. Win by getting rid of this prima-donna.
Scot looked for football players. He missed badly on the Cravens pick.
no denying this
Happy Saturday!
Happy Bacon Day to you…
Who doesnt like Bacon?
No one I want to know
Lol, amen!

that’s a bad analogy. people do not choose their color, sex, orientation (?) or age. a better analogy would be if someone disparaged your politics. no one we know does that.

Take a look everyone… this is how bigots justify their actions.
scamp, good for you for telling him off, last night.
I put him on ignore a while ago…for a guy, wif, who claims to be a democrat / tolerant, and all that goes with that, he’s as close minded, and as bigoted as they get…my gosh.
he has ZERO room in his mind / world for ANYONE who isn’t in lock step with his way of thinking, he likes nothing more than belittling folks for how they think, and then RAMMING his dogma down EVERYONE’S throat.
again, he had it coming…
I leave him alone until he starts up with his hate speech… mainly because the guys that created this blog asked me to… but you can’t let bigotry go unchallenged and unidentified. Bigots often don’t realize they are bigots… and justify their prejudices in any way possible in an attempt to normalize it.
what makes it even more hypocritical is his wife reached out to these guys about some fund raising or something like that…for i’m fairly certain a religious entity.
he’s up here bashing religion every chance he can, but then sends his wife this way, looking to raise some money.
he’s a complete clown
Keim: I think — stress on the word “think” — the players Washington would like to see fall to 13 include safety Derwin James, safety/corner Minkah Fitzpatrick and defensive lineman Vita Vea.

On a positive note, the Compass waders passed their first test with flying colors. Very light and comfortable, dry, and breathable. Wore a pair of under armour bottoms under them.
Nice… good price on those

Curl cap but not an extreme version .
Yup, now press a couple bud light bottle caps on it and a fish hook brim clip.
Why would you want to advertise the fact that you drink piss water?
They make ‘um stick in the cloth, I forgot how.
Never seen that , sounds dumb as hell.
Yeah. And they use shit up. It’s pretty deep, spans fishing, hunting, mushroom hunting, zang hunting, football, pretty much everything.
LOL . That’s the culture .
Fuck those guys, lol, you can’t kick ‘um out of the forest.
They curl the visor brims too .
You’re not a curl cap.
If you wear the same hat long enough , the brim will start to curl on its own .
I’m sure that your curl caps thing isn’t the same as this.
No , I know what you are talking about . I’ve seen plenty of them .
More often than not, resting on the head of a jackass.
They should just piss on their hats instead
I got to where I don’t wear hats much anymore at all. Visors in the summer , that’s about it.

Just talked to Su’a Cravens about his trade to Denver. Story to come, but this is one quote that really stood out: “I wanted to play football where somebody WANTED me. I can tell that Denver actually wanted me on the team. It wasn’t just, ‘This is smart for our team.’”
___________________________________________________
Stone cold b*tch!
He’s been taking acting lessons from Uncle Kirk
If he admits any fault of his own in this upcoming story , you can spank me hard and call me Rhonda .
These are young kids, no maturity. So no, he won’t take any responsibility. All they know how to do is protect their own egos.
I agree .
loved your line “spank me hard…” LOL
That just came to me . Hadn’t heard it or said it in years .
He felt like the team that he walked out on 3 days before the season didn’t want him.
What would make him think that?
Hillary Clinton said ““I can do better. There are things I’ve said I’d like to take back.”
How about you just stop talking altogether?
Hillary Clinton is a goddess in a pant suit – Dems
Ewww
despicable human being . No redeeming qualities
Irredeemable
Hemorrhaging gasbag
Speaking of scorned players, I hope somebody picks Dak this year, if he even sees the field.
You catch any fish ? We had some scattered rain here .
A few. It was kinda fucked up. A bunch of people had the same idea. Great walk in, the river looked good, about a dozen and a half curl caps spread out down through there. One dude sitting on a rock in the middle of one of the best holes tight lining like he was looking for catfish, smh. What I assumed were his two boys, were slinging 1/4 oz rooster tails at a little ball of terrified trout in the center of the hole. I don’t regret the hike, haven’t been back in there for awhile, but didn’t enjoy the company. I switched to worms and picked a few natives out of some little pockets here and there.
That’s funny
No, it’s not funny, and you probably know exactly what I’m talking about.
I do… but the story was funny… very descriptive.
My wife was funny, she was like “wtf!?”
You ever heard of Eagle Rock ? Lies between Roanoke and I think Alleghany Co ?
Yeah
That’s where we went kayaking last summer . Craig’s Creek . Beautiful place .
We talked about that . Lake Moomaw , etc
Yep, you were just west of Glasgow. That’s on the western side of the blue ridge, upper valley. About 20 or so miles from me as the eagle flys.
So that’s now the Jackson , Cow pasture rivers and Craigs Creek we have kayaked on . When we did the Jackson , we went way up in the national Forrest to put out . It was an 8 hour trip . Kicked my ass too, sore as hell the next day . The scenery was off the chain .
Yeah man.
fished a little too while going down , Never caught much but those Red eye things and a couple small mouth . The fishing part wasn’t real serious . Too busy trying to navigate the kayak and stay upright .
much in the way of rapids?
a little bit here and there . Enough to flip you over if you don’t have a good feel for it . Tossed me out several times
yeah, 8 hours of that will kick your ass
whipped mine , bad .
and once you put in, there’s no place to pull over
You ever seen a 275 pound man in a Kayak ? Ha ha , There’s plenty of things that can go wrong , let me tell you .
only in a mirror. 🙂
Red eyes are actually Bass, and a gamefish. Good eating. Back in the day, I could catch them all day long.
You throw a trout magnet or 1/8 white spinner at those bastards while you float and catch 100 fish easy. I love floating and casting.
That’s what we did . Rock bass I think they called them .
Yeah (great flathead bait, back in the day) you would have to have a bucket full of them for a warden to fuck with you.
Yep… Rock bass… have caught about a million of them in Ohio
well it was a holiday so probably that’s why the company . A bad day fishing is better than any good day at work anyhow .
Buck, I need to take some pictures of this area for you. Absolutely beautiful.
Yeah , I love the mountains . It’s in my blood , Maternal grandparents were from southern Appalachia . I lived in Franklin Co for several years , and that’s the only place outside of my original home I have ever lived .
My mom as well.
I will end up back in the Blue Ridge before my days are done
It’s a peaceful existence . Nobody is in a hurry .
Except them damned curl caps. Why we have game wardens.
Okay… what is a curl cap
Fuckers from Buena Vista, Virginia. Rockbridge County, down the other side of Robinson Gap.
Why do you call them curl caps?
They all curl the bill on their ball caps into a tight roll. Starts in elementary school, gets worse with age.
Oh yeah , now I know what you mean . Curl the brim .
takes a while to get one broke in right .
Just tuck it up your ass and VOILA!
They take it way to far, it’s specific to this one town. Kinda like a County feud, as we have most of the watershed on our side of the parkway. They have the Murray River.
That sounds retarded
They are retarded, itsi a warning label.
why the curl caps tho?
Come on, zig, we’re all waiting to hear this one
There are some really good stretches of river that are delayed harvest where you could really get off with the fly rod, the jackasses don’t fish there because it’s catch and release only, and no live bait. I go down there just to try out colors and whatnot. Some natives streams that go way back in there, no one is willing to walk, 13″ native Brooks back in there, guaranteed.
I love that kind of stuff
Trying to see if the Redskins play any scorned “ex Redskins” this year…
Let’s see… We get the AFC South and NFC South…
We get:
Ryan Grant with the Colts
DeSean Jackson with the Bucs
Niles Paul with the Jags
Not sure any of those guys were scorned
Niles is the only one that might qualify. Fortunately he isn’t very good
Why would Niles Paul be “scorned”? Jax picked him up.
If anything he should be happy to have had a job for as long as he did
Ikr, and on a good rising team.
I don’t know. I think he was pissed when the skins let him go.
If I were in his shoes, I’d be grateful for the luck of going to Jacksonville, as apposed to most other options. He had to know where he stood here.
Who is the blog mommy, for clarity’s sake.
I thought it was you
I can’t ban people, how would that be?
You wear women’s clothing
At least their underwear… or so I’m told
Like sexy clothes, or granny clothes?
Is there a difference?
Whoa… whoa
I crossed a line there, didn’t I?
That’s your thing man… just keep it to yourself
Not sure blog mommy wants their identity known… so I’ll hold that in secret at least
I just wish everyone here would just listen and respect the opinions of others…no matter how outlandish.
Would you be happy if people disparaged you for your color… or your wife for her sex, or your uncle for his sexual preference, or your grandmother for her age?
You don’t disparage people for their religion either… unacceptable.
I agree.
…and let me be clear… I’ve laid off Walter as long as he’s kept his bigoted point of view to himself. But since he felt the need to bring it back to the blog I made sure to let him know that I don’t appreciate it.
that’s a bad analogy. people do not choose their color, sex, orientation (?) or age. a better analogy would be if someone disparaged your politics. no one we know does that.
I take my son over to his friends house and I get back and there’s a Blog fight. Come on guys easy let’s all get along what do you say?
Amen to that.
praise be
I don’t understand what happened between Walter and Scamp.
Also, I don’t really care what happened haha.
In all honesty- they are both good Guys from what I can tell- but they are getting along like oil and water.
I had to have missed something.
Simple… Walter was on again with his tired schtick about how prayer doesn’t really work and how it’s all just a Fairy tail and blah, blah, blah. Several of us are tired of hearing it so we called him out on it… and me in my usual caustic way handled it the way I handle it. I call them like I see them… simple as that.
why would a simple question about whether the prayers had worked for jarrett set you off like that? a little hyper-sensitive, no? you insult people and their politics all the time.
no
Hidden Figures… phenomenal movie
Netflix?
HBO… it was in the theatres not long ago
If you haven’t seen it you should. One of those feel good movies about segregation
saw that in the theaters with my (100% faithful) wife and daughter. we all loved it. i enjoyed how they called those people “computers”. yes. they were computing things.
Keep telling yourself that… the pain will eventually fade I assume.
gosh what a dick you are.
AT least I’m not a bigoted asshole like you
It’s actually refreshing to be called a dick by a bigot… means I’m doing something right
it went from agreeing about a movie to…what…?
I don’t make a habit of befriendling prejudiced assholes… so go fuck yourself.
That clear enough for you? Gonna go cry to your blog mommy again now little girl?
Baseball has to be the worst ever. I would rather watch reruns of the Winter Olympics curling contest.
Baseball and soccer
since our daughter has been playing soccer I have developed an appreciation for that sport but I felt like you before she did
I coached my son in soccer and I still can’t bring myself to enjoy it… but I get you
curling is actually interesting, if you give it a chance. baseball has a number of simple rule changes, which if you ask me i will explain, that would restore its place a an interesting sport.
I like curling too
http://www.houseofblues.com/myrtlebeach/EventDetail?tmeventid=0&offerid=76950
Your wife told us about that… probably be down in the Inlet or up in Little River checking out the fishing scenes though…
there’s always something going on
I like Creek Ratz in MInlet
Hopefully this time we don’t get hosed by some idiot realtor and we can get here by summer
I heard about that. Some poor lady got fired for making a mistake. It is aggravating, but I always say things happen for a reason.
Problem is it wasn’t just her that made a mistake… it was the buyers agent first, then the owner, THEN the assistant. She just paid the price for their stupidity.
It’s a shame but again, probably this place is the one that’s meant for you anyway. I never like anyone to be fired for an honest mistake. I didn’t know the rest of the story for her to take the fall is even worse in my opinion because she can probably least afford it. I guess I’m an old softy LOL
Yea… not really happy about it either. Would NEVER have even tried to deal with that guy if I’d known what he was all about
I hear ya
https://twitter.com/Alex35332/status/979843180047863808?s=19
what are you doing out of the district? Aren’t you going to turn into a pumpkin or something? LOL
Watching “Hidden Figures”
Pretty awesome movie so far
You’ve gotta be kidding me!!!!
About what?
I am not a big fan of providing illegal immigrants with ANY kind of government assistance.
What kind do they get?

Hypothetical: What Redskins players on this current roster could you get a 1st round pick for in a trade?
noone
If I have to give a name, I’d say maybe Trent if he’s having a good health year. He’s the only player we have on that level of excellence.
Nah…don’t think you can get a first for a 30 year old, albeit consistent pro bowl LT.
Allen pre injury
New details have emerged concerning last week’s assault of a 17-year-old McDonald’s employee in Wisconsin.
The Glendale Police Department has charged a 19-year-old woman, identified as Debreaka Jones, with disorderly conduct and physical abuse of a child in connection with the incident, FOX 6 News reports. Police say Jones may also face felony assault charges over the incident.
Jones had become angry over getting the wrong breakfast order — she wanted a bacon breakfast sandwich, but instead received a sausage biscuit — leading her to assault the employee working behind the counter, according to a criminal complaint.
Well don’t get that bitch’s breakfast order wrong
….nothing like a fight at McDonald’s at De-Break-a dawn.
They have to have security at select McDonalds in Hampton city .
Lol, “select”
if that was my daughter that was assaulted I would debreaka my foot up Debreakas ass!
The violent deportee Mohamadou Lamine Mbacke, the man who escaped immigration custody earlier this week at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, has been apprehended in Chicago, authorities said.
Wow made it from NY to Chicago

They should keep that narrative going because it ain’t working any more . People are hip to that BS and are rejecting it by the masses .
What narrative?
The pro-illegal immigrant narrative.
The stop demonizing the immigrants narrative.
They are illegally here, are stealing our resources, and deserve to be demonized. Nobody who is here illegally deserves one single penny’s worth of benefits.
They mostly work hard at jobs no one else wants to do, boosting the economy.

My Good Friday mock. Arizona jumped from 15 to 13 to grab Josh Allen. Then Cleveland jumped from 22 to 15 to take Minkah Fitzpatrick.
Anybody who drafts Josh Allen in round 1 is going to regret it. That dude is going to get people fired.
Only way he doesn’t is if it is someone like NO where he can sit for years. They won’t get fired because they can change teams before it’s too late.
People do realize that players can choose who they sign with right, so if we don’t sign someone it might not be because we didn’t try or didn’t want to.
It’s pretty much all about the money for players, no matter what they may say publicly.
Yeah well overpaying for everyone is stupid and doesn’t work.
Since teams aren’t loyal to players players should not be loyal to teams either. They should go for the biggest paycheck possible
Tony Adams NC State in the seventh, smart, former wrestler, penalized only twice the last two seasons
NC State must have won a lot of championships with all these players in the draft

Here’s my weekly mock draft. If things turned out this way, I’d be thrilled:
R1P13 RB DERRIUS GUICE LSU
R2P12 G BILLY PRICE OHIO STATE
R4P9 DL TIM SETTLE VIRGINIA TECH
R5P5 TE DALTON SCHULTZ STANFORD
R5P26 CB J.C. JACKSON MARYLAND
R6P14 S TRAYVON HENDERSON HAWAII
R7P13 LB KENNY YOUNG UCLA
R7P23 EDGE JOE OSTMAN CENTRAL MICHIGAN
Have you looked at Holton Hill or MJ Stewart in that mid-round CB pick?
The intention to have a running game is exploding from this draft. Nice.
Be wary of Tim “SwaggyPotRoast” Settle. Without Bud Foster’s care? I’d love to hear Tomsula or Manusky comment on him.
Adam had him ranked at #6, and Adam knows him very well.
Way WAY over drafting Guice
His running style combined with his size is gonna cause problems
His running style is precisely what Jay wants. Guice is the prototype for what Jay wants, I think.
He’s 212 and he’s going to get pounded
He’s going to be a quality NFL starter.
or if he adds 10 to 15 pounds he will lose too much speed and quickness
I think Guice at 13 is a reach
It won’t matter if Guice ends up being a stud running back for the next many years.
Sure… but what are the chances of that?
I still stand by my statement. With a far inferior team, Cousins had At least equal if not better stats. I want to see what Alex Smith does with a team not as good as the Chiefs but better than Cousins had.
——-
Cousins just went to a loaded team, he should have better stats this year than last. Or wont need to with that beast they have in Dalvin Cook. People will still try to compare the 2 QB’s this coming year, but will fail to realize the Vikings are better personnel wise than we are right now. Maybe Reed will play in 14 games this year and we draft a good RB, who knows.
I dont think we have as many holes as Jamual states above, we are not as far away as some would like to make us out to be. Guess we will see when the season starts. Stay healthy, that is key.
I like Cousins; he’s a good QB. But QBing isn’t all about stats, and I’d add to that that his numbers were bolstered by being in Jay Gruden’s offense, I think. Cousins, though, has issues, namely that he just isn’t good when it counts. I’d much rather have Smith even forgetting about the cap space savings.
I was fine with Cousins leaving, he wanted the world and after the way everything went down here, it was never going to work. I like Smith, I think he will do good things for this team. We just need to make sure he has some weapons and is protected.
all quarterbacks need weapons and to be protected duh
cousins absolutely has flaws and that is missing the point. I’m talking about on a team worse than what will be on the field for the Redskins this year after the draft and free agency, he put up stats equal to Alex Smith stats with a much better team. All I’m saying is I want Alex Smith to do even better than cousins because he is in Gruden system and supposedly he’s a better quarterback. But time will tell. He needs to prove it to me the benefit of the doubt with the Redskins is long gone in my heart and mind
i DO think cousins benefited from jay’s offense. and, i think he played it too safe so as not to mess up his stats. that may be reality, or it may be me looking back trying to soften the blow of his leaving.
Then Alex should do much better since evidently he’s a much better quarterback according to most up here. He will be in Gruden system as well obviously.
**fingers and toes crossed**
(even though i don;t believe in that sort of thing)
I’ll hold judgement. Maybe Kirk didn’t have it. But neither does Alex. I think folks are partaking the grass is greener strategy. To me, they are the same except Smith can move a bit more.
Baseball talk… ugh. Guess it’s better than politics
Its a wash
I guess we could make fun of people’s beliefs some more
Aren’t we doing that when we talk baseball?
I think that’s more lullaby talk
like saying the pope is the devil?
I will defend the right of anyone to worship anything they want to, I really couldn’t care less as long as it doesn’t harm my family directly.
I didnt even realize it was opening day, I dont think I have watched a full game of baseball since the late 80’s. I like to play baseball and golf, but cannot watch either. They are too slow for me to watch.
I think going to a game with a group of friends can be great. Or maybe having a game on the radio as you’re grilling.
But sitting and watching on TV, meh.
moe says it’s great for naps. ‘nuf said.
I’ve been to hundreds of youth baseball games, and outside of the fact that it’s my kid, I love watching it.
Live, great. Like I said, watching baseball live is fun.
I watch my Dodgers on TV every chance I get. Watched them last night.
I would rather poke my eyeballs out with toothpicks then watch baseball
Think that through.
it’s a fragment.
Hyperbole brah!
I’m just running with the theme.

The family of a boy whose sixth-grade teacher allegedly performed oral sex on him in school slammed the woman as a “monster,” according to reports.
The victim’s father and stepmother — who didn’t want to be identified — broke their silence Thursday over allegations that Brittany Zamora, a Las Brisas Academy Elementary School teacher, had sex with the 13-year-old student in Goodyear, Arizona, AZFamily reported.
“You teach your kids there’s no such thing as monsters at all,” the dad told the site. “But in the real world, there are monsters. Brittany Zamora is a monster.”

she’s decent looking too, probably too pretty for jail, well in FL, in AZ she probably gets jail
In other news, 13 year olds in Arizona are now breathlessly checking under their beds and in their closets in hopes of finding monsters.
I didn’t even have good looking teachers in school. K thru 12 I never had a teacher better than a 6.
I remember waking up with faint memories of my 9th grade typing teacher. she liked the sun dresses. and a lot of really decent looking chicks are in spin classes. maybe they’ve moved from six to seven and half because they’re now fit?
and then in college, there was this TA teaching economics 101 or whatever. grad student from Cali. gorgeous.

How do you feel about Bryce Harper? Cuz he’s probably gonna be playing for the Dodgers next year
Well, I’d hate to see Puig go, because Puig is awesome in every way, but I’d be a fool to not be thrilled by adding his bat to the lineup.
But these new Dodgers owners are a bunch of cheapskates, as weird as that may sound. They haven’t signed a bigtime, expensive free agent since they’ve owned the team except as a trade deadline pickup or to re-sign their own, so I expect lots of rumors about the Dodgers being in, but in reality they’ll be way out. These guys are owners of a large market team who act like small market team owners in many ways. I like stats, but they’ve taken baseball analytics to the extreme, which isn’t wise, to me.
I don’t know man. They were making moves to get under luxury tax next year presumably to make a run at one of the big free agents. Harper is a west coast kid. I think it’s between the Dodgers and Cubs for him, Cubs because he’s best buds with Kris Bryant
I don’t think so. I think they’ll re-sign Kershaw to a big extension, but I don’t think they have a desire to spend big at all. This front office is all about the farm system.
Their farm system is pretty darn good. Might not be a bad plan
They need another ace pitcher, what Yu Darvish was supposed to be, but wasn’t.

dang…. does he come with alex smith?
definitely not. And Alex Smith barely had the same stats that cousins did with a much better team around him so I’m all on board because he’s the quarterback of the team I pull for, but he has to prove it to me as far as I’m concerned. In other words he needs to do at least as well as Kirk Cousins did with the surrounding cast he has here. And after the free agency and draft at least on paper he should have a better team than cousins had the past couple years
Keep in mind Cousins threw 40 more passes than Smith last year, like adding an extra game to his season.
I still stand by my statement. With a far inferior team, cousins had At least equal if not better stats. I want to see what Alex Smith does with a team not as good as the Chiefs but better than cousins had.
not sure Cousins had a far inferior offensive team. The Chiefs WRs aren’t that good. You’ve got a couple of offensive weapons on that team that can take a pass and then take it to the house, but as far as getting open down field, running crisp routes, catch radius, they don’t have that. Cousins had Reed, Garcon, and Jackson on the same team. And Jay throws the ball a lot more than Andy Reid’s. I don’t know if Smith is going to be an improvement, but I don’t have reason to be skeptical of Smith either. Should be similar to Cousins in terms of checking the ball down a lot.
i expect smith to be just as good as cousins. i expect a few more high-risk/reward plays and a few less 3rd and 8 check-downs for 6 yards.
He is the team’s quarterback and I absolutely am pulling for him and rooting for him. He must however, prove it on the field.
Not sure he’s going to have a better team than 2016 Cousins had.
And Smith typically has not thrown the ball as much as Kirk did in a season.

dunno where you’re watching that, but, i’m pleased we got alex smith. best we could have done, given the situation.

The Vatican says that the Pope never said that there’s no hell and that the reporter who wrote the story misconstrued his words.

NASA receives response from Voyager 1 spacecraft 13 billion miles away after 37 years of inactivity
The thrusters aboard the Voyager 1 spacecraft just did what we thought was impossible. After 37 years of inactivity, NASA just received response from spacecraft 13 billion miles away, NASA said in a statement on its website. Voyager 1 is NASA’s farthest and fastest spacecraft. It was launched on September 5, 1977. Having operated for 40 years, 6 months and 14 days as of March 19, 2018, the spacecraft relies on small devices called thrusters to orient itself so it can communicate with Earth. These thrusters fire in tiny pulses, or “puffs,” lasting mere milliseconds, to subtly rotate the spacecraft so that its antenna points at our planet. Now, the Voyager team is able to use a set of four backup thrusters, dormant since 1980.

So what are ya’ll hearing about Kevin O’Connell ? They say he is the next boy wonder maybe . A new McVay . Might be hard to keep him .
I loved his Brothers Jerry and Charlie in Sliders
That would require a search . Not a clue .
90’s TV sci-fi show about people who create a wormhole machine so they can jump from universe to universe but get lost and can’t find their way back to their home planet.
Yeah …not a sci – fi guy . Walked out on Star Wars and never saw another one.
If you ever want to try again, watch the movie Interstellar.
Ok . So I guess you haven’t heard anything about O’Connell .
All I remember is he was a backup QB to Tom Brady, and one of the ones that the pats didn’t flip for a higher draft pick.
He’s a hot commodity evidently . They had to give him a raise and expand his role to keep him. Findlay , Sports Junkies , etc .
Odd,
His coaching career shows me nothing to make him a hot commodity.
Cleveland-15, SF-16, Skins-17
What there “wows”?
IDK , honestly . That’s kind of why I was asking . never had heard that before . There was rumor about him going to a big time college program at one point .
Ah right, think it was for Chip Kelly
Nothing, really. Jay recently made a joke about losing him; that’s all I’ve heard.
He was Vern, the fat kid in Stand By Me
So one of the worlds most famously physically fit men, still needs heart surgery at 70.
BTW I should say, his 4th heart surgery by 70.
I wonder about the effect of steroids on his heart.
zactly.
Couldn’t have been a good thing .
clearly I’m blowing smoke when I talk about diet and such, but it is clear that we know much more about hormone ratios than they did back in the 70’s, and if you’re going to juice now, much more is known
they even know enough about it to begin treating PTSD, which is often the result of low levels of our major hormones
but what we also know is that people who live an active lifestyle but are fairly thin tend to have longer lifespans, so if you want to be muscular, fine, but about the time it is time to think about retirement, prob need to move to a more “conditioning” routine and unbulk; so maybe less bench and more Insanity.
True. He’s been open that he did use them
Not only that, genetics are a mofo.

Talk about the one that got away.
hell yes.
That was a great draft pick ,
can you imagine if RG3’s injury was career-ending in 2012 (it was, but you know what I mean– he never plays again).
we’re doing that right now
We miss him . he was gonna be good .
Trump hated him and Obama loved him!
trump ‘s trolling him with tweets . Obama is playing pickup basketball with him.
Might want to skip over Jarrett’s tweets on Fuller . could make you a little queezy .
What’s the gist of them?
How good he’s going to be . technician , student of the game , etc .
Rrrrrrrrrrrrr…..
Funny, was just thinking about this guy the other day when we were talking about Cravens as a Tweener and being used as a dime linebacker. As I recall Jarrett was being used this way.
so… has any of the praying worked out? is he able to play football?
Walter, Behave
That’s not the point . People caring and thinking about him , is .
gotcha. so that’s a “no”.
If that is what you took away from his thanks , I don’t have much else to say . I can’t grasp your mindset . I don’t think I want too.

Don’t make me make you cry to your blog Mom again
what blog mom? you mean the one that requires you to act like an adult?
The one that requires you NOT to be a giant bigot
that, of course, does not make any sense.
Come one little tattle tale… we all know you’e gonna cry to your mommy again here real soon… so let your bigoted hate speech go.
such a bitter little pill. sorry about everything.
Talk about bitter… I always wonder what set you so against religion… my guess is your wife is religious and banged someone and you found out… so somehow it’s religions fault.
Yea, you are bitter for sure.
sick. sick fantasy. sick, bitter fantasy.
Come on Walter… you can’t blame her for banging some other dude… I mean, you’re barely a man with the amount of whining you do.
again, sorry about everything. sorry you revel in your fantasy of my wife’s marital infidelity. it has no relation to the truth, but i gather that’s just projection on your part. sorry about that.
Just a guess why you turned out to be such a bitter and jaded old man. Maybe it was your mom, maybe you were abused by a Catholic preacher, maybe you just feel like God screwed you somehow. People don’t get as bitter about things they claim not to believe in for no reason. You clearly have an ax to grind… but hey, we each deal with our own things in different ways. You trot out bigoted hate speech on a blog trying to make others feel bad or inferior for their beliefs… that’s how you cope. Probably not healthy but whatever
Sarcasm not necessary, Walter.
no sarcasm. wondering how the prayer has helped.
Sad….
No more bashing religion, walter. I’ve had enough of it. Keep it to yourself from now on, please.
Uh, oh, Walter, I see a ban hammer coming!

The fact that you have a library in the school is weird, we have computers now.

we have a library at work too!
it’s a piece of code. it verifies that the office has a license to the materials, and boom! fast as electrons can move: on the screen.
whatever you want: pops up on the screen. Amazing!
and if not, someone in BFE takes a a day to a week and finds some place that has the thing you want and boom; through the ether: attachment in an email. whole books, articles, whatever.
if the library isn’t mostly just a computer lab nowadays, I don’t know what we’re doing. apart maybe from… but yeah, there should be online materials to teach all ages to read. certain niche monopolies may have not done it yet because it means they can sell to each school rather than have the system share a half dozen licenses.

Your loss then. Mexican food done right is seriously good eating.
The Skins have left themselves a number of spots to fill, particularly on defense. Call them role players, marginal starters, whatever, but they were younger players with prime playing years ahead of them in the NFL.
Trent Murphy didn’t contribute last season, but before the injury had all signs pointing toward a key rotational player who could also compete for a starting role.
Cravens was a debacle last season, but this one still hurts because a second-round pick is a guy that you need to be a starter on your team. When we selected him the sense was that we seemed to solve a long-term bugaboo spot on our roster at strong safety. No longer.
Breeland and Fuller were/are starting-caliber NFL cornerbacks. The one guy we have left that’s a starting-quality commodity is a highly overpaid 30-year old.
I suppose there’s 2 ways to feel about this – one is that this defense wasn’t very good last season, so why stress about not keeping some of these players around and we have some younger guys behind them that are getting a chance to step up. The other way to feel is that if these guys were so bad, why are they getting interest around the league; and if we couldn’t hold on to this crop of homegrowns what makes us think we’ll do a good job with the next unproven group behind them?
Now we still have the draft, and there’s time to see who else can become available and signed. It’d be especially nice to wrap up this Hankins deal, which would essentially slot our starting Dline in order and that’s our Front-7 for years to come
I personally never thought Cravens solved the long-term safety problem; as I said below, I didn’t like drafting him in the 2nd round because I thought he was a tweener in terms of size/speed/agility/athletic ability compared to what we needed at either nickel LB or SS.
I disagree that the only starting-quality CB left is Norman. Moreau has talent, and the team really likes Dunbar. It’s a risk, true, but the team mitigated that risk by bringing in a former starter on the cheap in the form of Orlando Scandrick.
They need help in the front 7 – no surprise there, but I also think that the DL will be better this year with the return of Jonathan Allen. He made a big difference last year before he went down. Sure, bring Hankins onboard, but don’t overpay for him.
Moreau may have talent, but so does every other draft prospect. That hardly equals “starting-quality”. He’s 100% potential. Dunbar was a spot-starter and in no way represents a starting-quality CB right now. Could he be? Maybe. But that’s yet to be proven in the same way that Bree and Fuller did. Scandrick will be lucky to stay healthy this season – he’s a risk not a mitigation to a risk. For real our d-backfield is a mess of question marks. But if we can get the front-7on straight, then that will help that highly questionable group ALOT.
simply put , the draft better pay off. They have lost more than they have gained through FA.
I think you’re underselling Moreau and Dunbar, both. The coaches have watched both of them every day and know what they can do. Teams gamble on potential all the time – the Redskins recently gambled on the largely unproven potential of Paul Richardson, for example.

I bet I could eat reasonably healthy every day only buying out of 7-11 if I tried hard enough.
–
They probably have pre-made salads in most 7-11’s somewhere.
Bananas at the register.
True, they usually have Bananas and apples up there.
pure sugar. though, they’re apparently fine in the morning. when and what and your genetics matter a lot.
…and that assumes that those salads would be in any way good for you other than maybe hydration, or as a convenient base for a quality fat-based dressing
You’re taking this way too literally. I didn’t actually mean that someone should go design a diet plan based on my one crappy comment.
if you recall, I called for the PARODY 7-11 diet book that would lampoon all those thick books. seriously, I don’t know what’s in all those books. Prob the same kind of thing Scott Adams talks about re: financial advice. Everything you need to know you could fit on a fact sheet.
If you want to get into a business right now, the NEXT is a conveniently packaged and marketed (it can’t appear like the ancestry-type ones, it has to be repacked and marketed for the masses, you know: the “Apple” model) kit that tests your genetics for known markers that tell you what foods to avoid and which ones to consume for maximum effect.
Maybe, call it iDietetics
Solid, reasonable diet plan:
1) work out once a day, a mix of cardio and weights
2) eat a balanced, reasonable diet that proportionally covers the major food groups
3) avoid processed sugars
4) avoid overloading on carbs
Also, if you can track calories (which i know isn’t easy) keep it under 1500
also, fasting (drinking only water) on occasion appears to be extremely healthy as well
key point there seems to be to keep your body in a ketogenic state, and it seems for example, that it aids in other treatments, like fasting before chemo as an example. the theory there is that keto starves cancer cells while your “normal” cells have the switchgear to move to keto. that’s prob a spectrum, but I don’t know that there’s a ton of non-Russian science on that.
2) heavy on the vegetables and fiber, and quality meats
1) a/b maybe, you prob could do a workout on a cycle (not a bike, a schedule) that was metered out across a week, but c) sauna; apparently heat shock (and maybe cold) is extremely good for you; but I haven’t learned enough about it to know how long you you need to be “shocked” and how often you need to in order to reap the benefits
there are also combinations of foods that aid in curbing the decline in key hormones, you can also take herbal suppliments for this, but right now, these are expensive
and there are some people think that certain fungi are important for mental function. though one of the guys I’ve heard talk about that also is serious that he thinks fungi could be sentient, and that is based on the neural-like net/network they form in soils, but whatevs.
and a whole lot of those hip crazy “I work 16 hours a day and get 4 hours of sleep and I am fine, why can’t everyone else” types in silicon valley are so loaded with fungi/bark/whatever extracts and herbal supplements (many loaded with caffeine) that they are pushing the envelope well past science, kinda like bodybuilders do.
I have tried and tried over the years to appreciate scotch. I don’t care if it’s Single Malt or or a blend, relatively inexpensive to some of the most expensive in the world. I just cannot develop an appreciation or taste for it.
Lagavulin is my favorite. It is very smokey.
Yum, could go for some now….
Good call. I love scotch but don’t care for bourbon.
never had it, but Mike Rowe likes him some Whistle Pig, (Rye) and that’s something I’d like to try
but honestly, I’m not going to ever be that guy who has a nice whiskey on the rocks as a night cap; not until in the least, my second “soul mate” wife comes along (hey, it was a palm reading about 15 years ago, so it has to be true)
I don’t know if I’ve ever had it. I pretty much stick to Jack Daniels on the extremely rare occasions when I drink liquor.
I’m always more of a whisky/rye guy
you’ve never said, “mmmmm peat-y” ?
the Skins would have about 10 mil (give or take a mil) in rollover at the moment
72 players, so maybe a few additions before draft and UDFA fill out the 90 man
They are at $17.64M after McPhee. If you subtract the hit for the rookie pool, that takes them down to about $12.7M, not counting the extra 5th rounder from the trade or the tiny increases from the two move-ups in rounds 4 and 5. I’ve updated my charts; I just haven’t published them yet.
We are talking about 4th and 5th rounders, not like that’s an extra million.
It isn’t close to a million. Think a few hundred thousand at most. The extra 5th boots someone into the Rule of 51 territory, if it isn’t there itself.
the point is, signing a starting OG and DT would certainly have left maybe 3-5 mil in roll-over and those contracts would certainly have jumped in the following years. it isn’t the 20-some million (some) people think it is. Hankins had a 10.5 mil cap hit last year, on the first year of his deal, for example.
Have a good Good Friday peeps. In 10 minutes I’ll have a Johnny Blue in my hand.
I think highly of John Bolton, too, by the way. Saw you posted that on the last column.
I’m a John Bolton fan. For my money, I don’t know if it gets any better than when he sings When A Man Loves A Woman.
Over rated waste of money. Get a real Scotch for half the price
I actually prefer JW Red to the overpriced Blue. Prefer a good single malt to either.
Never a fan of any of the Johnny blends. Chivas is better. Single is the way to go
If you’re going to mix’em up, give me a nice Black Bush any day.
Word choice
phrasing?

I saw that one. One of Ron Jeremy’s finest performances. I can’t believe the Academy snubbed it.
I prefer Sunkist, but that’s me.
most people can’t tell the difference between the well and the name brand
^especially after first couple sips.
If it can’t be purchased at 7-11, I don’t need it.
I betcha if you wrote a parody book
“The 7-11 Diet”
it would be a hit
I bet I could eat reasonably healthy every day only buying out of 7-11 if I tried hard enough.
what’s the definition of “healthy?”
keep in mind, we’ve known for 10 years that sugars and simple carbs are worse for you than just about anything you can eat, they are THE cause of heart disease* and they accelerate cancer growth once it starts. I haven’t been into 7-11 in awhile, so maybe they sell frozen vegetables and hormone-free, organic, properly-fed (cows are ruminants and chickens are not vegetarian) meats and eggs.
Sunkist is almost certainly far less healthy for you than a whiskey drink, for example.
*for most people. there IS a subset of the population that needs to watch their saturated fat intake
However, the loss of role players such as Su’a Cravens, Trent Murphy, Ryan Grant, and likely Junior Galette
How is that gonna sting again?
Sua – ZERO production last year…that will be hard to replace
Murphy – ZERO production last year…again…not sure where we’ll get that from
two of those 4 guys gave the team NOTHING….this sounds more like an article from the Post with it’s negative slant
Jamual isn’t like that – he’s pretty down the middle. I think he honestly feels as though these guys would’ve contributed.
Gave us nothing but with all the injuries we had we sure could have used them.
Can’t really argue with much he said. We have a lot of holes to fill that will not be filled in one draft. That is correct. There were some guys available who could have helped, but we are choosing to be conservative. That’s fine but we’re probably not going to have a playoff roster this year.
Just saying “last year” is a bit of a strawman. Murphy was a high draft pick who played well in previous years and showed significant potential in 2016. Su’a was a second round draft pick two years ago and showed a lot of promise his rookie year. Both have their issues, but we invested a lot in them and losing them will sting, IMO. Less so in Su’a’s case for obvious reasons.
I don’t really think the team ever should have spent a 2nd rounder on Cravens. I always thought he was too small and not strong enough for even a nickel LB spot, and too slow and not agile enough for a safety slot. Later pick, sure, but not as a 2nd rounder.
I thought the same. From an analytics standpoint his lack of athleticism made him a red flag player — 4th round or lower.
Plus, I didn’t even know at the time that he’d quit on USC. That definitely should’ve been the death-knell for his selection.
I didn’t either. Hard to fathom how Scot gave him a pass for that after all his talk about finding players who love football.
The truth of the matter is that, no matter what Jessica McCloughan says or what the quick to forget Redskins fanbase thinks, Scot’s time here wasn’t nearly as successful as we expected it to be. You saw my writeup on the comparison between the draft classes.
Scot is prob a pretty good head scout, director of, or whatever title, but prob not a very good GM. though, if Jay was given some significant input to position coaches, and he’s not or wasn’t very good at selecting them, then part of that might be Jay (think: defensive coaching)
More like the loss of players who could have played signifcant roles in the 2018 series. No, 2 of them contributed little last year, but that doesn’t mean that they couldn’t have been sifgnificant contributors next year.
BTW, did Gallete ever sign anywhere?
Gonna be a long boring month until the draft. At least baseball is back
Glad to see baseball is back, for sure, although the best pitcher in the league had a rough outing last night, unfortunately.
Kershaw? only one run allowed ain’t bad. Team didn’t help him with the run support
For normal pitchers, sure, but by his incredibly high standards, it was a bad outing. Gave up a bunch of hits and didn’t look like himself.
