sign cooley and gaffney, cut tutu, armanti, brockel, hartsock.. at TE that gives us Olsen, Cooley, Barny and at WR that gives us Smitty, Lafell, Murphy, Gaffney, Pilares, Adams with Gettis on the PUP.. some weapons and insurance as well as Vets

I could live with that.

Cooley's wheels are shot.

How so? I know he's had some pretty hefty injuries over the years but he didn't look much different to me in watching the Colts/Skins game last week than he did when I've seen him in the past. Perhaps a little heavier, but I think that was to try to win Shanahan over in playing FB.

Proudiddy, you're a good dude, but I swear, you stay wanting everyone else's trash.

Come on man, you should know Hurney's philosophy by now.

So, Cooley is trash compared to Hartsock and Brockel? LOL.

I haven't even been posting stuff about most guys being released. I said I'd pick up Molden earlier in the thread because we could use some viable competition at CB. I suggested VY because it would be ideal to have a mobile QB to be able to run the same offensive plays that Cam does in case we ever needed it (which I pray we don't). BUT, I later said it probably wasn't a good idea.

How many of the guys being released have I made threads about? After everyone sharted their pants flaming me over the Haynesworth thread after he was released from the Pats, I've been a lot more selective about who I even suggest as a possible addition.

We're fans, we look for solutions to things that we view as problems with our team. I'm not a big fan of Hartsock or Brockel, and Cooley, if healthy, would be an upgrade over both and open up a roster spot. But, that's trash?

Saw this discussion coming :lol

I'd need to know more about what Cooley's current condition is like before I say yes or no.

Healthy and hasn't lost a step? Then I'm probably in. Otherwise, iffy.

Obviously, any contract needs to include a condition that he cannot show off his playbook - or anything else - online.

(I'll grant that Chud's playbook probably hides more than others do)

He's actually lost 30 pounds to ease the stress on his knees. He's not heavier he's much lighter and still slow. Look i love the guy. He's been my favorite player since S Taylor was killed. He's done. The Redskins would have never dropped their most popular player if not.

It would be nice to get another guy behind Cam who can run the same exact offense (option plays, runs, etc.), but after being reminded of the VY slight, yeah, it's best we leave him alone.

Backup needs to be able to run Chud's base offense....which is basically Norv's. Backup doesn't need to be able to run the tweaked Cam version of it. You can't find someone physically like him....and only a freak show would be running the tweaked version. RGIII for example will end up like Vick....hurt.

Oh ok... I had heard them discussing his weight during the game and assumed he bulked up due to the move to FB primarily. Maybe he has lost a step, but he's still better than Hartsock and Brockel, that's why I'd like to have him here. People said Stephen Davis was done before we signed him too, just sayin'...

Not necessarily, I think Vick doesn't know when to give up. Until RG3 starts missing 4-6 games a year because of injuries, I wouldn't equate him to Vick just yet in 'injury waiting to happen' department.

But, sure, we could continue running the base offense (Norv's) as you said if we ever needed to use our backup, but as I said, it would be 'ideal' if we could get a guy to come in and run most of the same plays that Cam did. No, he won't be carved from the same granite that Cam is, lol, and no, he won't be as athletic or as gifted, but it would keep that threat there for the defense to think about. As I said, I pray we never need it regardless... Just brainstorming aloud.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
