I've seen our run defense with Poe. It ain't that great.

My guess is if we had secured Breeland and he'd been healthy, we'd have used a high pick on somebody other than Donte Jackson.

Jackson's another one that's kind of at a crossroads.

Jackson has the upside to be the best CB in the league. Yes he’s had some struggles and inconsistency at times but I’d say he’s a core piece here and a very important building block, not at all at a crossroads.

The stuff that you saw on All or Nothing makes me a little uneasy.

I'm made more uneasy by the fact that he can't tackle for sh-t. Basically, if you throw in front of him, you've got at least a half decent chance that he'll whiff on the tackle.

Last year he was one of those guys that could make big plays for both teams. I was hoping for more consistency from him this year but so far I haven't seen it. Inability to stay healthy hasn't exactly helped.

Definitely don't see him is any kind of a cornerstone just yet.

I'm not sure any CB becomes a cornerstone year two except maybe Patrick Peterson. Being a great CB is difficult.

Can you imagine our DL against the run without Poe? My God...

Imagining our offense without CMC makes me cringe more.

Who pays these doctors? Is it the NFL? Can a coach override the doctor and tell someone to play? Who exactly played him knowing he had a tumor?

I personally think players should have their own independent doctors or a choice (not sure if they do already). The team doctors may be qualified but if my work tried to send me to a doctor they hired, instead of my choosing, no way I’d go.

coach can't override a dr.   guys are allowed to have their own dr's opinions also.  something weird with that is going on with the jets.  osemele has a torn labrum or rotator cuff.   team dr's say he can play.  his dr says its torn and no way.  he says its too painful and had the surgery the team didn't sign off on.  its a shitshow.   i can't see how any free agent would go to the jets or skins after this crap.

Couple of updates:

Williams is saying that the growth on his head was indeed cancerous.

Also being reported that the Redskins are working on a special helmet for him.

(no word on whether they consulted Antonio Brown)

Yikes

And not one bad word was uttered about Snyder or the Organization. 

Wild. It makes all the other Su'a Cravens of the world not look so crazy anymore. 

[Mr. Scot]

Not to defend Snyder or the Redskins because I think they're crap, but did they really "try to trade him"?

Seemed to me like they were doing everything in their power to not trade him.

[ncfan]

Dam!

[Mr. Scot]

Yeah, I'd say it sounds like somebody's getting fired...or scapegoated.

Just kind of have to hope that whoever ends up let go are the ones who actually deserve to be.

Either way, if I'm a member of their medical staff oh, I'm pretty nervous right now.

... is starting to sound like a wise move.

Remember Bashaud Breeland? This story has some similar vibes to it.

Standoff between Washington and Williams getting stranger
