Defensive Hypothetical

No way in hell would I touch Haynesworth with a ten foot poll. Once he gets paid, he'll go back to the underperforming slob he was before his first contract year.

Asomugah, on the other hand, would be great, and I think if we got someone of his caliber we would adapt the schemes to fit his skills. With that said, there is no chance we get him. Oakland will never let him go. Expect the exclusive franchise tag.

Most Skins fans would disagree with you. I'm neither here nor there, but living in Redskin country...most cant stand him.

I want Aso from Oakland in our backfield. One way or another.

In fairness, Gamble is a good corner and many of our own don't care for him either.

Next to quarterback. corner might be the one position on the field on which most fans have the lowest amount of understanding and/or perspective.

really? why is that? i don't understand the "sign and trade" deal or no-trade clauses or whatever

Generally when you trade a franchised player a deal is basically in place between the player and the receiving team before he's dealt. That way your not giving up high draft picks for a one year loan of a player. Plus, Pep won't agree to a contract with a team that he does not want to go to. He served his time hear and wants his chance to choose his employer like all free agents.

if current DC is still here.

Anyone know anyplayers (DBs) that can play a 5-15 yard cushion and still get picks and make tackles before the opposing team gets a first down?

I like herm but do you think the FO is waiting for the SB to be over before going after a new DC? (That is if they are.)

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
