The goal is to develop young talent across the roster.  9 CB is ridiculous.  Let's say they keep 7 CB. 

You could bring in a WR6 to push JJAW and Ward.  How about another safety to challenge Wallace?  You could elevate Howard to the active roster.  There are so many other ways to utilize roster spots. 

 

And another thing.  If they trade multiple 1st round picks for Wilson, all they are doing is building a WC team.

 

The goal is to find and keep young talent that can actually play in the NFL. What's the point of promoting a WR who you don't think has NFL potential? Just to balance the roster so you can sit 2 WRs and 3 DBs instead of 1 WR and 4 DBs as your 7 players who don't dress each week?

Again,  not true. 

Redskins job is better then the Jags,, Texans, Giants, Lions, and probably the Jets, and the way the dolphins are going maybe them too(although the women and weather would be nice). 

You also have to remember Daboll and Staley didnt even want to take an interview with our dumpster fire so you may be able to put us on  that list while Howie is still here. 

 

soooooo.... Life time Frat membership, top 10 defense, multi million dollar job and a hell of a lot better than a couple teams. 

So yea, keep digging deeper bud

 

It’s the Washington Football team… Please stop using the R word. Thank you.

I'm not trying to balance things out.  I think they could easily stash at least 3 of those CB on the PS.  Craig James showed more than any of them has so far and he's safe on the PS.  No one is going to poach these guys.

I'm saying exactly what you are.  What's the point of playing guys with no potential or who have maxed theirs out?  

JJAW

Ward

Singleton

Wilson

Wallace

Opeta

I didn't see "Roseman" in his post.

Howie just needs to let the Russell Wilson dream die. Sheesh, it's been like 10 years, let it go.

It will be the biggest overcorrection of all overcorrections. Almost a decade in the making. All 3 firsts to finally get his boy that escaped him.

Another anti-vaxxer idiot, infection with the original strains of COVID doesn't provide good protection against the Delta variant, which is why they recommend that those who have been infected get at least one vaccination shot - the combo provides a much higher level of immunity. This isn't opinion, they do studies to examine these things, then update as more studies are performed (and yes, it takes time to gather reliable data, any jackass can spout off an opinion supported by lumberjacks).

It's real easy to get legitimate information, get the f*** off Facebook, turn off Fox news, and go to Google Scholar. Or even Google, if you stick to reputable sites like Harvard Health or the Mayo clinic.

What makes people uncomfortable with "Science" is that Science doesn't often provide definitive answers, it's an ongoing dialogue where information is updated as new evidence is gathered and analyzed. The only certain things in life are death and taxes (and the rich can afford the lawyers and accountants to dodge the latter to some extent). But Science is still far more reliable than the rantings of media personalities.

Ok lol 

? It's not. The point is because he's unvaccinated he has to mandatory miss 10 days. If he was vaccinated he could have played this week with two negative tests.

Sorry but, people should take responsibility for their own life. How would a casino/bar know whether or not any person was driving or riding with someone else? 

The bar doesn’t know who is driving but when faced with possible liability they do a better job of training their servers and cutting off drunks. The liability they face isn’t limited to vehicle accidents.  It also impacts bar/parking lot fights and at times shootings and stabbings. To your argument, most states reject the ability of the intoxicated person from pursuing claims against the bar for contributing to their injury by serving them past the point of visible intoxication.  Loss mitigation actions for the most part are not a bad thing.  I would offer that on this subject you have two insurance professionals agreeing with a plaintiff attorney.  

PA eliminates liability unless the bar serves a visibly intoxicated individual or a minor.  Social host liability is limited to serving a minor but if I am serving an adult (no minors drinking here), I limit the amount I offer to someone that I know will be driving.

He is an idiot, and not just because it is impacting my fantasy team this week.

Frustrating signing.  Made some sense at the time.

For a team with a bad cap, we did a wonderful job of wasting money on Flacco and Wilson (and I liked the Wilson signing).

It reduces the risk of infection by a huge factor, and reduces the risk of serious infection by an even greater factor.

No vaccine is 100% effective, but the COVID vaccine is far more effective than the flu vaccine.

It's like wearing a seat belt and having air bags v no safety equipment, doesn't guarantee you'll walk away from a crash, but your odds are greater by an order of magnitude.

Science. You know, the idea that you gather real data, use analytical tools to determine causality, and update your conclusions as more evidence is available.

Or there's always lumberjacks as a viable alternative.

Another quality Howie move.  Counts 1 million dead against the cap next year.  What an idiot.

Objectively poor use of resources. Mild credit for taking the L and not digging their heels in.

I mean, this is like the 4th or 5th year in a row the same thing happened with a LB. He's lost any credit at this point.

It was probably a Gannon move. Wilson played for Zimmer and was more acquainted with aspects of the scheme that Gannon was implementing.

They knew he was a bad run defender, but had been a good pass coverage LB - unfortunately, that aspect of his game also went into free fall.

One year deal on a rebuilding team. Nitpickers everywhere.
