I think it's time to start fresh for 2006.
Recap:
-The fans have hope for the future due to a playoff win in which the offense set futility records.
-The star young safety is a complete thug and is facing 40+ years in prison.
-They've thrown millions at assistant coaches, proving the Gibbs/figurehead theory.
--(Peter King loves this move and has already declared the Skins off-season CHAMPS! Please ban me, I have nothing to contribute.!)
-The comedy if they would sign Terrell Owens would be too much to take.
-They will fight for the Cowboys for last place in the division in the 2006 season, whether they like it or not.
-Art is practicing his fellatio techniques and is hoping to make 2006 more productive for sucking off Dan Snyder, Joe Gibbs, Al Saunders, Gregg Williams, Jerry Gray, Jason Campbell, Clinton Portis, Marcus Washington, and Sean Taylor... sucky sucky sucky. Barf.
Discuss.
Oh, and farg the Skins and all their fans.
luckily for them their favorite time of year is coming up, the offseason, so they can load up on overpaid and overrated talant and then disappoint everyone in the regular season. even better for us, this past season with them sneaking into the playoffs gives them even more hope than usual. meaning that the letdown this year will be even worse than before. god i love watching skins fans be miserable.

What overpaid talent did the skins acquire last offseason??
Werent the eagles the disappointment in the nfc east??
How is winning your last five games sneaking into the playoffs??
Sounds like it is the eagles that are looking forward to the offseason!!
Because without winning the last five games, you aren't in. That's by definition, sneaking into the playoffs.
Pittsburgh snuck in too. It's not a defamation, it's just a fact. Don't get your vadge in bind.
Last offseason was the exception to the rule.
Yes. That was 2005. This is 2006.
Um, because they barely made it in the weak NFC. The taterskins would have been 7-9 or worse in the AFC.
No, we're looking forward to the real season, where it actually means something to be champs.
Thanks for your time, douchenozzle.
If the Eagles don't put 14 players on the inactive list/pup/injured reserve the taterskins don't win both of those games and they don't make the playoffs. The Eagles gift wrapped 2 extra wins for each of their NFC East opponents this year. I wouldn't brag too much about being the second best team in the division and barely getting into the playoffs.
Quoteif his attitude would change he will stay on our team (if he gets there first) and we will be the number one offense for a long time to come. that is of course assuming we still have portis and moss
QuoteMy crotch area is wet... I am really scared for this team if he comes...
Quoteoh but i did! Listen if we get TO our offense will be number one in the nfl.
Quoteim so excited i want him here so bad i know he will change his ways because he is getting what he wants, money and to play against the iggles..........it looks like we have a good shot because whats the one thing that he didnt have in philly that he could have here..............FRIENDS..........Moss Portis and Taylor were all at his b-day party and two of them are also have Drew as their agent.........think about it people who like him and money he wants...........PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET HIM COME HERE!
Oh god how I hate them.....

If the outcome of the final game of the season determines whether or not you make the playoffs, then you are sneaking into the playoffs. I don't care if it came on the heels of at 14 game winning streak. If you secure a playoff spot during the final week of the season, you snuck in. Der!

Congratulations, douchebag.
You can continue to suck each other off on your own boards.
Here, we hate the taterskins, and it's easier to consolidate into this thread than to start a new thread for each ridiculous piece of vomit that spews from Art, or each time Danny overspends, etc etc.

If you have to start Mark Brunell at QB, you are guaranteed an attempt at sneaking into the playoffs.
The taterskins (notics i'm not capitalizing that pathetic team name) are trash. Do they even have a leader? A face? Lemme think, oh wait, it's Clinton Portis and his cross dressing crew. LOSERS!!

Pretty sure I've read/heard something like this from every team in the league since...forever.
But I understand. Pointing and laughing is easier than coming to grips with the harsh realities that face the Eagles next year.
I'll throw in a ::) for good measure.
The Eagles were 13-3 in 2004, including 2 losses where they benched the starters. They won the division, the conference, and came within 3 points of the Super Bowl.
They might have been 11-5 in the AFC, but there is no doubt they would have made the playoffs either way.
The taterskins in 2005 are a different story. They weren't exactly at the top of the weaker conference.

Most people who payed attention realize they got outplayed and were never really in it.
So, getting outplayed by the best team in the league in the NFL championship game is akin to sneaking into the playoffs in the lesser of two conferences and proving complete offensive ineptitude against half-decent competition?

Right... because the whole thing about the only SB in history to be tied at the end of each quarter going into the 4th means they were really blown out. Start making sense here, Charlie.
And it's not like they ever lead in the game or anything. Oh, wait...

Look. Losing by three does not equal close.
BTW, they were down by 7 with 10 min left.
They were down by 10 with 8 min left.
They were still down by 10 with less than 6 min to go.

Winning 5 in a row when you control your own destiny is called a hot streak, not sneaking in.
Worst. Offense. Ever.
i agree that winning five in a row to get in is not sneaking in...sneaking in is losing your last one or two games and still making it because other teams lost
but youre still a moron for saying the superbowl wasnt close

Don't drag MDS into this. You can't do that to our pledges. Only we can do that to our pledges.
i'll laugh and point and all.. but honestly, of the 3 teams in the division, i hate the taterskins the least.
in order of hate:
Giants
Cowboys
taterskins
That's sickening, Mo.
Cowboys
taterskins
Giants
I would gladly give the Cowboys the division title for the next decade if I could watch the taterskins go winless during that time. I wouldn't even think twice about it actually.
why is sickening? like RJS and IGY have said, it depends where you live. they have spent massive time in the DC area, so their hatred for the taterskins is above and beyond all others.
while I, on the other hand, live about 45 north of Philly and do lots of work in the northern part of the state and a lot in north Jersey, so i deal with those fargos more than anyone else.

are you joking me? stop whining. What the hell this is the biggest sap fest i have seen in a while and i go to taterskin boards. Wah WAH we would have beat the skins if we were healthy wah wah. We were competative in the superbowl WAH WAH. That was last year. Eagle fans still live in a delusional world that in which they are the best team in the east and NFC.
Pointing and laughing
Address the problems on the team and maybe by the start of the year you will be back to form. Those injured players aren't gonna take your team to the top. There are still holes on the team mainly on the O-line and the D-line and the eagles need to upgrade the WRs and LBs Until you have aquired the players to win you are still the shtein on the bottom of the east and stop crying about it.
touching...but you failed to mention that a healthy mcnabb all by itself puts the eagles at minimum better than the skins
still riding that high of finishing higher than the Eagles once in 6 years? good stuff.

How long were the Skins in the cellar? Pretty damn long. All your brethren ever said was "once we get _________back we'll be better", "once we get a real QB we're winning the SuperBowl", "once we get a good coach with ALL this talent there's no way we couldn't win". Great, you made it to the playoffs and got trounced by a Alexanderless SeaHawks team. It would be one thing if you could lose with some integrity, but then we have to hear the "refs conspiracy" crap.

Well maybe you should take better care of your QB. He was hurt and it didn't seem your coach had much concern. Maybe if you actually had a run game you would have used it? Maybe without a O-line that run game will just get worse next year? Maybe eagle fans should think about breaking .500 before winning the super bowl next year?
Maybe eagle fans should think about breaking .500 before winning the super bowl next year?

-The star young safety is a complete thug and is facing 40+ years in prison.
-They've thrown millions at assistant coaches, proving the Gibbs/figurehead theory.
--(Peter King loves this move and has already declared the Skins off-season CHAMPS! Please ban me, I have nothing to contribute.!)
-The comedy if they would sign Terrell Owens would be too much to take.
-They will fight for the Cowboys for last place in the division in the 2006 season, whether they like it or not.
-Art is practicing his fellatio techniques and is hoping to make 2006 more productive for sucking off Dan Snyder, Joe Gibbs, Al Saunders, Gregg Williams, Jerry Gray, Jason Campbell, Clinton Portis, Marcus Washington, and Sean Taylor... sucky sucky sucky. Barf.
Discuss.
Oh, and farg the Skins and all their fans.
You Eagle fans crack me up, no wonder you have a reputation for being the dumbest fans in the NFL. Let's go point by point here:
- The fans have hope for the future because we have a 1500 yard RB, a top 10 defense two years in a row, a 1400 yard WR, a 60 catch TE, a strong offensive line, and a quarterback who knows how to manage a game.
- The star young safety is a thug, but that's fine with me considering how scared Todd Pinkston is around him. Nice alligator arms. And no, he won't do any time in jail, the Florida DA doesn't have the evidence.
- Gibbs may be running the team as a figurehead, but at least he's doing something to make the team better. Unlike Andy Reid who just named Marty Morningwheg offensive coordinator. Are you serious?? Marty Morningwheg???
- Who in their right mind thinks the Skins will actually sign Owens? Gibbs is not as stupid as Andy Reid.
And lastly, the Eagles let Derrick Burgess go. Just brilliant. They have a fractured locker room in the wake of Owens' departure. They have MARTY MORNINGWHEG as offensive coordinator. They have no defensive line because Kearse is way overrated.
Again, you Skins fans seem way too sensitive.
Need another moist towlette?
and a quarterback who knows how to manage a game
lololol....good luck on that future of yours with a 36 year old game managing qb

lololol....good luck on that future of yours with a 36 year old game managing qb
No doubt, I'd rather have Donovan McNabb than Mark Brunell. But Brunell did toss 23 TDs and 11 INTs on the season. You can make fun of a 36 year old game managing QB if you want, but the bottom line is Brunell is not a weakness of the team. I wouldn't call Brunell a strength like the defense or Portis, but he's definitely not a liability.
The main point to take home is this thread is absolutely absurd. Point and laugh at the Skins? From where the Eagles are sitting right now, I don't think you guys should be pointing and laughing at anybody. You defensive line is a liability, you have NO power running game whatsoever, Reggie Brown is your best receiver, Brian Dawkins is on the wrong side of 30, you just lost Brad Childress and replaced him with someone who is much worse, and parts of your offensive line are downright atrocious. Plus, the locker room is split down the middle.
I suppose this thread was created to make you guys feel better about your team being in such crappy shape. I guess you need something to make you feel better now that you're realizing that the Eagles' window of opportunity is closing and they don't even have a SB win to show for it.

LOL LOL LOL
Are you serious?? You turn on your own team in a heartbeat. I heard people calling into WIP and calling for McNabb's head after some of those conference championship losses a few years ago. What's worse, Cataldi agreed!
If the team listened to the fans and got rid of McNabb a few years ago, the Eagles would be nowhere. He's all you have at this point.
If you're so knowledgable, it sure doesn't show. I guess you're too busy filling your blood stream with alcohol in the Linc's parking to know smart football when you see it. Because at the games, it sure does not show.

By the way, is this the best you can come up with? You're going to essentially tell me to go to hell instead of telling me why I'm wrong about the Skins' future? If you're such a smart fanbase, surely you guys can come up with some legitimate reasons why the Skins will be bad next year. At least something better than "Peter King said you'd be good, so that means you'll suck."
Come on, I'm all ears. After all, your fan base is smarter than mine, you should be able to put me in my place easily.

Exactly. We aren't afraid to criticize when it is obviously a situation to do so, whereas ES fans simply suckle at the teet of Danny Snyder and Joe Gibbs and refuse to believe that any decision they make could be in error.

Yes, which one of the personnel moves under the Gibbs regime is overrated:
Cornelius Griffin
Shawn Springs
Marcus Washington
Sean Taylor
Carlos Rogers
Chris Cooley
Mark Brunell
Clinton Portis
Joe Salave'a
Phillip Daniels
How'd we do from that, I ask you? How have things gone with Owens and Kearse? Doesn't make sense to rag on Dan Snyder's spending spree of 2000. That was 5 years ago.

Actually I'm not from ES and I share your opinion of ES in general. I'm from TheWarpath.net, it's a much better site where we do actually question and criticize the team, and we're in no way affiliated with the team.
I just find it strange that you would start a thread "pointing and laughing" at the Washington taterskins when they're so obviously in great shape for another playoff berth next season. If you're so knowledgable, hit me with some serious reasoning for that.
What an idiotic arguement. We have obviously come upon another delusional, blindly supportive Skins fans who thinks Mike McMahon and Koy Detmer represent the QB position on this team. Donovan McNabb is one of the best QB's in the league. Criticize him all you want, I'd only take Brady over him. If he happens to play next season without a sports hernia, I find it impossible to believe he will not win at least 10 games.
Taylor, Rogers, Cooley aren't free agents. There's been plenty of stinker draft picks mixed in, and Taylor and Rogers were top-10 picks, so they better be damn good. Considering Taylor is a punk who will always be in and out of trouble and you don't know much about Rogers yet, I'd hold off on bragging too much. I like Cooley, though. Good player.
Springs is overpaid and always seems to be hurt when it counts.
Brunell has had half a good season in 2 years, and it wouldn't appear he's going to be BETTER next year.
The Skins would be better off with Bailey and the pick they gave up. Bailey is still probably the best overall cornerback in the NFL. Portis is a good player, but I still don't think he's the best fit for a Gibbs offense.
However,
The DL pickups you mentioned have proven very serviceable. They get the job done, definitely.
Also, you didn't mention possibly the best deal under the Gibbs regime, which was unloading Coles and getting Moss. That move turned out better than even the most homertastic Skins fans could have hoped. That said... who's going to get him the ball next year?
a couple more LOL's would've really made your point

Firstly, we point and laugh, because we hate your team and most of your fans... like the DTC and the ES drones. Also, we point and laugh, because there has been a lot of money spent in off-seasons, and this was the first year there has been any rewards whatsoever shown.
Secondly, I don't believe that the taterskins will be in the playoffs next year, for the following reasons:
1. The Eagles will get healthy and be back in the mix. The taterskins narrowly defeated Eagles teams twice this year that were decimiated by injury. Also, the usually-restrained Eagles FO saw some glaring issues that they plan to correct in free agency for a change.
2. The Giants had a lot of injuries at the end of the season and limped into the playoffs, but Tiki Barber is the best overall back in the division, and Eli's star is, unfortunately for all of us, on the rise. They've retained Tim Lewis, and will continue to compete.
3. The Cowboys have an emerging, improving defense, and should have a great running game. I don't know how much longer Bledsoe will hold up, but I wouldn't count on the Skins sweeping them again.
4. Brunell and Portis. They couldn't hold up and get the job done in the playoffs. Portis is overused and runs down as the season goes on, and Brunell is done. Better hope Campbell is the truth, because the rest of the division isn't just going to lie down and let the Skins go 5-1 again. Also, the Skins don't have a first-round pick.

You're right I mixed draft picks in there. Jason Campbell is the move that will make or break Gibbs' second stint. He's the QB of the future now and is totally unknown at this point. I know a lot of Skins fans want to see him start this coming season to see what he can do now that he's had a year on the bench. From what scouts say, he's got a lot of talent, but who knows how he'll handle game action. I'd personally like to see Brunell keep the reins this season.
People can rag on Brunell all they want, but the facts are that he threw 23 TDs and only 11 INTs, had an 86 QB rating, and made some plays with his legs when he needed to. The team was 11th in offensive yards, and 13th in points this season. I see no reason why he'd play better than that this year, but I also don't see any reason why he'd be worse. I mean unless you're assuming Brunell is going to get worse next season, I don't see why the Skins can't have another better-than-average offensive year.
And you know the defense will be there. I just don't understand how anyone can think we'll be "fighting the cowboys for the cellar."

1) I agree the Eagles will be good again. A healthy McNabb is all you need to go, at bare minimum, 9-7.
2) I think the Giants are overrated. Eli is improving but his season's stats were skewed by some very lucky performances in the beginning of the season. I watched him throw several touchdown passes while falling backwards, barely sneaking them by the defenders. He kept doing that and his luck caught up with him by the end of the season. As long as Tiki is still there though, they'll be solid.
3) The Cowboys running game is nothing the Skins defense can't handle.
4) The biggest reason the offense didn't get it done in the playoffs was the injury to RG Randy Thomas. He was by far the best offensive lineman, and when he went down, the Skins had to tear up a big part of their playbook. He was capable of getting out on the edge and leading Portis on sweeps.
I see the division being tight this year. And we face the AFC South and NFC South. The Colts, Panthers, Falcons, Bucs, and Jags are common opponents for the NFC East. So are the Titans, Texans, and Saints. It's a tough road again for the NFC East, but not as bad as this past year when we played the AFC West. I posted this as my prediction over at thewarpath, and I'll post it here too:
Skins 11-5
Eagles 11-5
Giants 10-6
Cowboys 7-9
I think your Birds bounce back. But I see the Skins improving. Just wait till we add a WR to pair with Moss.
but the bottom line is Brunell is not a weakness of the team
he absolutely is a weakness....actually hes one of the few weaknesses...and hes only gonna get worse...im on record as saying the only thing stopping the skins afrom getting to the superbowl is a good qb
Calling philly fans dumb, when you are trying to compare them to Skins fans is laughable beyond comprehension. There was at least one article that I read (and I'm fairly certain that there were two) written by WASHINGTON POST writers this year talking about the delusional nature of the taterskins fan base. How for the past eight years only Arizona and Cincy had worse records and yet every year the Washington fan base thinks they're on the verge of great things. They simply can't grasp how truly awful the franchise has been for the past decade.
You had one winning season. One. get a farging grip.
Welcome, Schneed.
We have good discussion here. But the hatred for the Skins runs deep. I always had the Cowboys as #1 until I stumbled upon ES. Those guys coupled with a few other reasons have vaulted Washington into extreme hate category. Its nothing personal.
By the way...
Any idea if Gibbs will be drafting and signing a few more dozen h-backs this year?
not just the post but WTEM is regularly clowning their own fans
skins fans are delusional beyond belief and in general know very little about football...all you have to do is go to one game and youll see...they have a segment of good fans but to say overall they have a more knowledgable fan base than the birds is laughable

How can 23 TDs and 11 INTs be a weakness? I just don't understand that. He doesn't make amazing plays like McNabb or Brady, but he doesn't hurt you with turnovers. And as we all know, turnovers are the key to winning NFL games. He's serviceable.
Gibbs managed to win Super Bowls with Mark Rypien, who did NOTHING in the league after Gibbs left, and Doug Williams who at the time was a journeyman old vet who couldn't catch on in Tampa Bay.
I think Brunell is good enough. The difference between the Skins now and the Skins of the 80s does not lie in the skill of the QB, it lies in the Posse. There are not enough good WRs right now. Some more playmaking ability at QB would surely go a long way. But you can't call Brunell a "weakness" and expect me to buy that.
Oh and your offensive and defensive lines are weak. Oh and you have no depth at ANY position. ONE injury to a key player and the Skins are farging toast. I've never seen a team with so little depth. Brunell is a joke. This was his last hurrah. Hope you enjoyed it.
it wasnt even a last hurrah...yeah he had a couple good games where moss broke some long plays...but against good teams...espcially in the playoffs hes was beyond pathetic

That venemous press coming from the Post is the result of a grudge with Dan Snyder. The Post never has anything positive to say about the team because Snyder revoked the paper's season tickets and is making moves to position himself to provide news to the fans on his terms (using taterskins.com, buying 3 radio stations, etc). Whether he's actually going to provide good coverage is another story, but the point remains that the Post just has their panties in a bunch over the whole thing.
We can argue over who's more knowledgable all we want, we're not going to get anywhere, it's a pointless argument because there's no substantive evidence to support either claim.
Well, in the 15 years that I lived in northern Virginia and the 5 or 6 consecutive years that I went to Eagles/Skins games at FedEx I'd say I accumulated enough evidence to fill a farging landfill.

way to avoid recent history...skip the past 15 years of no playoffs and only count the ONE YEAR the skins were better than the birds

well i'll start with reason one out of dozens. the eagles will be back to normal, meaning they won't have six pro-bowlers on the IR, and will go back to beating the Skins as usual. The Skins don't make the playoffs without 2 wins against an injury plagued Eagles team.
The Skins did beat the Eagles twice this year. The first win was one game after TO was suspended, while McNabb had a hernia, and the starting WRs were a rookie and Greg Lewis. In the second game the Skins were losing to a Mike McMahon-led team. You made the playoffs. Great! Two wins against an Eagles team that was barely competetive and lost 14 players, including five offensive starters to injury/suspension, and one miracle win in Dallas got you into the tourney. Nice farging work.
The skins are going to crash for several reasons. They have no defensive line. Their offensive line has holes. They have ZERO depth. Any injury to a key player and they're farging done. I'm not talking about 10 injuries, I'm talking about Moss twisting his knee, or Springs getting accidentally shot in the face by me, and your team is in a world of hurt. On top of that, your QB is over the hill and your offense is completely predictable. Tack on an inevitable improvement by the Eagles just by virtue of getting healthy, the further improvement of the Giants and the tougher teams that you'll face next year and you can be guaranteed that the Skins will take a step back. But you know, good job on going 10-6 and grabbing that 6-seed. The taterskins rule!

if they get an edge rusher their d line becomes very good
i question their secondary...springs is done and rogers better pan out or they are in trouble at corner
bottom line is without a qb they cannot win a superbowl and with the messiah gibbs there nothing less is acceptable...espeially with his time running short
guys, please stop it, mr. schneed doesn't understand why we're laughing at him.

Finally an opinion that is actually realistic. There's no way the Skins "crash". When someone says crash, I don't think 8-8. I think like 5-11. So if crash meant simply miss the playoffs, then I'm not as appalled by that statement. But if crash meant crash like crash is supposed to mean, then I think it's retarded.
The D Line was very good this year. Phillip Daniels had a bunch of sacks at the end of the year. I think Springs is fine, has another good year in him. Rogers is already good.
I can see 8-8 as a worst case scenario, if as you guys are saying, the Eagles go 2-0 against them and the Skins go 0-4 against the AFC like they did last year. I do think the Eagles will bounce back and do well. But I see no reason why the Skins won't be a force again. If you want to put the Skins at 8-8 I can live with that. But whoever the moron was that said they would "crash" needs to pull his head out his ass.

see, thats the problem with you people. do you honestly think that's a venemous story? to anyone not a skins fan, it seems right on track.
there's not a whole lot of positive spin you can put on a game when you made 7 turnovers. thats 1000 times nicer than the philly media would be on the eagles had they had the same performance.

Not only are they stupid, but they're loud and adament about their stupidity. They won't and probably can't see reason and are utterly convinced that every point they make is 100% right. It's unreal.
half of them are probably taterskin empolyees.
they proceeded to go 2-8 in their next ten games after that...basically she was spot on in her assesment
again you dont know anything about a 'venemous' press

Just the mere fact that you went back to
september 2004 to find your "venoumous" media story makes your argument ridiculous. Your "venomous" story pointed out that it's bad to commit 7 turnovers in a game. OMFG! How could they be so harsh?! :o
You think this is a "venomous" article and wonder why your fanbase is known for being delusional homers.
Gimme a farging break. Hell... after the San Diego

Stop arguing with these monkeys. They've had 2 winning seasons since Gibbs retired. Two. That was what? 15 years ago? But they were able to capitalize on an injury-plagued Eagles team, a missed Seattle fieldgoal, and a miracle win over the Cowboys in week two to win 10 games this year to sneak into the playoffs. They are an elite team now. Elite, I say!

No, you missed the point.
You said that Runyan is asking for more money. He's looking for the best contract he can get as his final contract. So what? You implied differently in your post by making it seem like he'd leave the team for more money. He's an UFA..therefore, he's not ON the team. :o :o

I don't get you. My saying Runyan is asking for more money=him looking for the best contract. He doesn't look to be willing to take less to stay. Therefore if he stays, it will be for a big payday.
Other people on this board seem to understand this.
He's on the other side of 30, plays o-line and wants to get paid. That usually isn't what the Eagles have in mind.

taterskins Player Serves Day In Jail
Springs Arrested For Reckless Driving
POSTED: 12:08 pm EST February 3, 2006

WASHINGTON -- A Washington taterskins player was released from jail Wednesday after serving a sentence for reckless driving, authorities said.
Virginia State Police stopped Shawn Springs in September for speeding on the Dulles Greenway. Police said Springs was driving 98 mph in a 65 mph zone.
Springs was arrested, fined $500 and charged with reckless driving. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail, 29 suspended.
Springs served his day in jail at the Loudoun County Detention Center on Tuesday. His driver's license was suspended for six months.
looks like she pooped out a miller light can. my kind of girl.
quality guys, those taterskins.
LOL Matty. I was thinking the same thing - if her GI distress is shteinting out aluminum cans she's in big trouble.
I'd still hit it, though.
It really is too bad that Taylor will never see the inside of a cell. Not only would I get a huge kick out the Skins losing a player, but these farging idiot millionaire athletes who like to play like they're thugs could use a wakeup call by having one of their own sent to prison. If someone put millions of dollars in my bank account and said "There are only two things you have to do for this money. Play a game and not get arrested." You can bet your ass I would be on good behavior. farging idiots.

You have to understand that this (http://www.taterskins.com/uploads/photos/perm/main/LAEDEAKIAIEJ/GibbsBanner2.jpg) has more to do with our present than 13 of those 15 years. The skins did suck for years and years but the people involved with that sucking are gone.
They're just never going to get it.
I'm not talking to a Bucs or Rams fan and suggesting that they're living in the past. These are fans that haven't tasted the smallest bit of success in 15 years and still gloat and strut and brag about championships. It's non-sensical. And worse, it's relentless.
The Jets won a Super Bowl once. They also trade with the Skins alot. They must be good, too.

like i said talking about those past 15 years has less to do with the present than those super bowls. Everyone from those failing teams are gone. That doesn't mean the skins will win a super bowl based on that fact and i am not "bragging" about the championships. The skins just aren't the same team that had only one winning season in over a decade.
Just as I said, right on the level as Cowboys fans.
Hope you're damn proud of yourself.

If you change "next year" to "next decade", you're getting warm. Still would rather the Lombardi trophy in Philly, though.
Don't tempt me with 20+ years of missing the playoffs for Washington. Don't know if I could pass it up.
this is the great time of year when Skins fans think their offseason plan makes them the best team in the NFL. Love it.

And you know what. The sad truth of my existence is that I get the same pleasure from watching the taterskins fail that I do from watching the Eagles succeed. The exact same amount of pleasure. I guess there's something kind of wrong about that but I can't help it.

After some consideration I've decided that I would rather see the Eagles win the superbowl because that necessarily means that the taterskins didn't (much to the shock of their fans, no doubt). However, in any year that the Eagles don't win the superbowl, I would gladly trade general success for the utter failure of the taterskins. I would happily watch the Eagles go 2-14 if the 2 wins were against the taterskins and the Skins went 0-16.
this is the biggest reason skins fans hate the eagles.the majority of the time they havent a clue to what they are talking about.runyan took a pay cut to play last year?yeah,right.this is the same player when signed said,im in it for the money,just signing with the highest bidder.hes gone next year along with lazy tra thomas.have fun trying to win with 2 new tackles(now that mcnabb doesnt run anymore,more injuries to follow)you guys also talk about the skins 2 winning seasons the last 15 years,but what exactly have you guys won?the buffalo bills of our time,always close but NO cigar.keep dreaming about the super bowl losers! hey bigskin,keep on keepin on

He did take a pay cut. This isn't up for debate. It's a fact.
And you can keep bringing up 'close but no cigar' and 'what have you won' but the fact is that you are still living on fumes and faded memories of a team that existed when the NFL was a much different league. Prolonged success was the norm then because the rich teams could spend whatever the hell they wanted to keep talent together. Prolonged success in the NFL now requires forethought, solid drafting and fiscal intelligence. None of which your franchise has. So enjoy your 7 years off, one year on, pattern. There's no end to it in sight.

So signing Campbell to be the QB of the future wasn't forward looking?
Getting rid of Coles for Moss not financially responsible? as well as not over paying for Pierce or Smoot?
And all the draft picks are there except Wilson. They saw enough in Cooley to trade up for him, which turned out to be a great move.
Taylor instead of KWII was the right choice, played extremely well in his 2nd year.
Rogers instead of Mike Williams turned out great.

according to the " adjustment" runyan is slated to make 30 MILLION on the 4 year contract.notice the word adjustment?money was re arranged not CUT.he got all of his money and that was nice of him to do so the eagles could go 6-10 and still be 15 million under the cap.try spending some of your cap money and get some depth so when your starters go down,your season doesnt end

The Eagles were not 15 mil under the cap you farging moron. Go do some homework, come back...oh wait, no, learn proper punctuation and grammar and THEN come back and discuss.
He never got all of his money either, shtein for brains. HE TOOK A PAY CUT.

Prolonged success in the NFL now requires forethought, solid drafting and fiscal intelligence. [/size]
So signing Campbell to be the QB of the future wasn't forward looking?
Getting rid of Coles for Moss not financially responsible? as well as not over paying for Pierce or Smoot?
And all the draft picks are there except Wilson. They saw enough in Cooley to trade up for him, which turned out to be a great move.
Taylor instead of KWII was the right choice, played extremely well in his 2nd year.
Rogers instead of Mike Williams turned out great.

QuoteLong before the Eagles arrived at training camp and shortly after Terrell Owens and agent Drew Rosenhaus announced their desire to rework the receiver's contract, offensive tackle Jon Runyan quietly took an $800,000 pay cut for this season. He did so with little attention and no complaint.
-- Philadelphia Inquirer
QuoteWith the focus of the media entirely on T.O., a small story appeared in the paper last week that didn't get much attention at all. Eagles offensive tackle Jon Runyan quietly took an $800,000 pay cut this season - without complaint or media circus.
QuoteSo signing Campbell to be the QB of the future wasn't forward looking?
Idiot. You traded away part of your draft last year and this year's #1 for a Qb you could have gotten in the second round last year because no one else wanted him. Brilliant.
QuoteGetting rid of Coles for Moss not financially responsible? as well as not over paying for Pierce or Smoot?
Do you think that Moss will really put up those kind of numbers next year? or ever again? This is an honest question because I'll tell you what, I don't see how you could possibly expect him to do that again. Getting rid of Smoot was fine this year, but Springs is old and Rogers isn't at Smoot's level yet. You might want to reserve judgement on that move for another year or so. Pierce was a beast this year for the Giants and helped their defense improve by leaps and bounds in the second half of the season. Skins should have kept him.
QuoteAnd all the draft picks are there except Wilson. They saw enough in Cooley to trade up for him, which turned out to be a great move.
It's easy to keep your draft picks when you only have 3 per year.
QuoteTaylor instead of KWII was the right choice, played extremely well in his 2nd year.
Everyone and their mother knew that Taylor was the right pick. The only reason KWII was even considered was because people know the Skins well enough to know that at any given time they could go for the hype instead of what makes sense. Of course, now Taylor is facing 46 years in prison so good job with that.
QuoteRogers instead of Mike Williams turned out great.

Moss- yes. Very talented. Could put up those numbers again
Rogers- Better at run support than Smoot right now. Better tackler. Springs/Rogers was a good move financially, and the defense was still upper echelon.
Pierce-No. Shouldn't have kept him. He wanted too much. Again, the performance of the defense this year is proof enough.

Not a good track record for some relatively high picks. You did get something for Welbourn, but more of these guys should be on this team by now. That's not good drafting.

Cleveland took the 4th. Charlie Frye. It was pretty well considered a lock for them to take Campbell if he fell to #34, but think what you want.

About the only thing you can say about that trade was they telegraphed their intentions.
Talking value is not that big a deal. Trading 1st rounders for a 2005 3rd and 2006 4th. The 3rd and 4th value getting the pick one year earlier.
But we've got charts to figure out how valuable people are. :-D :-D

From the Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A2217-2005Apr19.html)
QuoteWith most NFL analysts believing this weekend's draft is one of the weakest in memory, the Washington taterskins yesterday surprisingly traded their No. 1 pick next season and two other picks to the Denver Broncos for the 25th overall selection Saturday.
The Broncos will also get Washington's third-round pick this season and its fourth-round pick in 2006. The deal leaves the taterskins with only two picks on Saturday: the ninth and 25th.
Coach and team president Joe Gibbs was not at taterskins Park yesterday and was unavailable to comment.
"That's a pretty steep price to pay for [pick] number 25," one NFL executive said. "They must be up to something else."
Guess an NFL executive was wrong too.

That was more based on Frye.
Alex Smith and Aaron Rodgers, both widely believed to be far superior to Jason Campbell going into last year's draft, both either looked like warm vomit (Smith) or didn't really play (Rodgers).
Some would say Frye looked better than either of those guys in limited action, so what's your point?

Because I'm sure you've seen so much of Campbell to know he's better.
2005 Passer Ratings:

College Career Statistics
Jason Campbell: 7,299 yds 45 TDs
Antwaan Randle-El: 7,489 yds 42 TD's
I can see why you figure Campbell is the Skins' QB of the future.
That stat proves that Campbell's move to WR in 2006 opposite Santana Moss will take the Skins to the Bowl.
I knew there was a reason they wanted no part of TO.
Hines Ward was a QB in the SEC, and Campbell is taller, so Campbell will be even better than Ward.
My logic is bullet-proof.
Earl Campbell is a Hall of Famer. Jason Campbell's last name is Campbell. Jason Campbell is probably gonna be a Hall of Famer. I mean, his last name's Campbell for crying out loud.
taterskin logic is always bulletproof, sometimes.
He's gonna steal McNabb's soup commercials!
As a preemptive strike, we should petition NOW to have them change to McNabb's Soup.

There was at least one article that I read (and I'm fairly certain that there were two) written by WASHINGTON POST writers this year talking about the delusional nature of the taterskins fan base. How for the past eight years only Arizona and Cincy had worse records and yet every year the Washington fan base thinks they're on the verge of great things. They simply can't grasp how truly awful the franchise has been for the past decade.
You had one winning season. One. get a farging grip.
i really, honestly, truly, don't get why fans keep bringing up the past. It's the past, get over it. We didn't have joe gibbs in the past where we were the worst team in the league and we kept spending but nothing happened. Haven't you noticed, ever since gibbs has been back we've been 16-16, 17-17 if you count the playoffs. That's another reason to believe, is because gibbs has proven that he can get it done. We didn't go on a huge spending spree before the 2005 season, and look what happened. We won our last five games to make the playoffs. Making the playoffs is an accomplishment, it's not a very big one seeing as the ultimate goal is win the superbowl, but only 12 teams get in and that's why it gives fans of playoff teams reason to be optimistic next year.
Well, if you avoided spending a lot and worked on team chemistry, you'd be undefeated.
Instead, you added two more highly-priced wannabe head coaches and re-upped the guy already on the staff with head coaching aspirations before free agency even started. No change in chemistry there!
Skins will do NO BETTER than 9-7 next year.

You must not have heard of sarcasm. I mean truly, to be that daft. Not every single taterskins fan is like that, i could care less that some of the taterskins plays didn't make the top ten plays in the nfl as called by chris berman. That moss one, was probably in the taterskins top ten plays, but not necessicarily in the top ten nfl plays. As for that guy who said the taterskins always get snubbed, he's just making fun of the other taterskins fans who actually believe that shtein. And some people tend to believe that because some of the top ten plays were against the skins, and they didn't pick any from the skins, they believe that's just the media hating us. Those fans aren't common, o.k.? Not everyone is like that.

Seriously, go around telling everyone how you guys made the NFCC four years straight and how awesome you were in the regular season. Good for you. Hold onto that, because that's obviously the only thing you guys like to talk about.
That's rich, when your fans are posting pics of 3 Lombardi trophies - the most recent earned in the 1991 season.

And your team sat at home watching my team play in the playoffs.
If you call that "playing", then OK. It looked more like they just dropped their skirts and spread their legs for the Seattle SeaChickens without putting up a fight at all.
You were talking about the week 13 beat down (42-0) that the "Seattle SeaChickens" delivered? Right? That must have ben fun for the eagle fans to watch there team AT HOME let the "Seattle SeaChickens" run a train on them like that.
Also, isn't ironic that now eagle fans brag about having McNabb, a pro-bowl QB, but fliped out and cried for days after the FO drafted him, now that there is a stand up class act in the eagles fan base!!
just speaking my mind before i get kicked off of here again.... 8)

I guess you never passed reading picture books. all of that was posted for the same reason. Eagle fans talk about the past all the time so i said that the SBs are even more part of our present than those 15 years inbetween.
Is it just me or have Eagle fans become everything they hated about taterskin fans?

Calling philly fans dumb, when you are trying to compare them to Skins fans is laughable beyond comprehension. There was at least one article that I read (and I'm fairly certain that there were two) written by WASHINGTON POST writers this year talking about the delusional nature of the taterskins fan base. How for the past eight years only Arizona and Cincy had worse records and yet every year the Washington fan base thinks they're on the verge of great things. They simply can't grasp how truly awful the franchise has been for the past decade.
You had one winning season. One. get a farging grip.
i really, honestly, truly, don't get why fans keep bringing up the past. It's the past, get over it. We didn't have joe gibbs in the past where we were the worst team in the league and we kept spending but nothing happened. Haven't you noticed, ever since gibbs has been back we've been 16-16, 17-17 if you count the playoffs. That's another reason to believe, is because gibbs has proven that he can get it done. We didn't go on a huge spending spree before the 2005 season, and look what happened. We won our last five games to make the playoffs. Making the playoffs is an accomplishment, it's not a very big one seeing as the ultimate goal is win the superbowl, but only 12 teams get in and that's why it gives fans of playoff teams reason to be optimistic next year.

The 2004 season is the past. Technically, the 2005 regular season is over, but the full season including the playoffs and pro bowl isn't over because there is still one more game to play. 2005 is the last regular season to be played, so i wouldn't call it the past because that's all any football fan would talk about until the 2006 season. anything from 2004 and before is the past. The skins 3 superbowl wins were in the past. Please find where i said anything about how the skins have 3 super bowl trophies and the eagles don't.

I think they both were as well as somebody else that's mildly famous.
Kurt Russell might have worked as Han.
However, Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones.....there wouldn't have been a sequel.
Christopher Walken routinely points and laughs at the taterskins.
Oh, and he played a part in killing Natalie Wood, too.
QuoteQ. Is it true Burt Reynolds was original up for the role of Vader and Christopher Walken for Han Solo?
A. Ah, sort of. Actually, Burt Reynolds, Kurt Russell, Nick Nolte, Christopher Walken, Al Pacino, Billy Dee Williams, Glynn Turman. and Perry King were all "up" for the role of Han Solo at various points. George Lucas was familiar with Harrison Ford's work from their time together in American Graffiti (1973), in which Ford played a hod-rodder in a cowboy hat.
Ford tried out for other parts on the film, and when Lucas saw those reels, he realized Solo was right under his nose.
Perry King did the voice of Solo in the NPR radio play of Star Wars.
None of these actors, however, was up for Vader. Nor was Barbara Streisand up for Princess Leia. These rumors are probably due to a Saturday Night Live sketch that played on various actors trying out for Star Wars parts (including Richard Dryfuss as C-2PO and Jack Lemon as Chewbacca.
FYI, Terri Lynn, Teri Nunn, and Cindy Williams did try out for Leia.
Didn't realize the list was that extensive.
They should've hired Nick Nolte.
Imagine a cracked up drunk Hans Solo? That might've caused me to watch those movies.

If my math is correct (before supplemental draft picks for losing free agents are announced), the Eagles will have seven picks in this year's draft before the taterskins make their third pick. Laughing.
The Eagles will almost certainly get a supplemental pick at the end of the 4th, possibly even at the end of the 3rd, for losing Mayberry & Burgess. So, make that 8.
i'm sure we'll raheem brock a few of those picks.

Doesn't matter.
In an unprecedented move every pick will be a linebacker, and they will all be used incorrectly.
I'll be a little sick if the Eagles use every one of those fourth round picks this year. Even if they trade one of them I can probably keep from painting my walls with breakfast.
Who else did the Eagles lose last season? I don't remember, but I DO remember that they only gained McMahon. They should get an extra second rounder for signing him.
QuoteI'll be a little sick if the Eagles use every one of those fourth round picks this year. Even if they trade one of them I can probably keep from painting my walls with breakfast.
Couldn't agree more. I would love to see them move up with some of those but even if they get rid of one for a third rounder next year or something equally mundane I would be happy.
Drafting 3 smallish RBs and one undersized LB, that would probably cause me to geeeeueuuguegh all over. I may have to stop pointing and laughing at that point to regain my composure and maybe clean up the vomit.
My knee-jerk reaction to this past season is that I want them to draft as many oversized players as humanly possible. DTs, TEs, FBs, RBs, LBs, WRs... whoever they draft I want them to be massive and mean and I odn't particularly care if they have any talent. Kneejerk.
"He's an oversized Westbrook at 210 pounds."
Last year (off the top of my head) we lost Mayberry, Burgess, Reese, Wayne (I wouldn't say I've been missing it, Bob), our 3rd string QB (drawing a blank, old journeyman).
nate wayne was cut. so no comp pick for him

I think you get fined by the NFL anytime someone has to say Al Davis made a good FA move.
He made a lucky FA move. That doesn't count.
The NFL doesn't care if it was luck or not. Fines for making Al Davis look smart.
They don't necessarily give one pick per player. They try to give a total value of picks to match the FA losses.
The Eagles really could get a sole pick at the end of the 3rd, thanks to Burgess's big-time production in 2005.

QuoteNotebook: taterskins close to tipping from cap
Feb. 17, 2006
By Pete Prisco
How would you like to be Eric Schaffer, the cap man for the Washington taterskins? Your boss is the combustible Dan Snyder and your cap is a mess, so much so that two cap experts from other teams who looked at it say it's as bad as they have seen.
We pity poor Schaffer, who isn't to blame. It's not his fault Snyder throws money around as if he prints it, snubbing the reality that cap jail will eventually swallow his team whole.
"I'm glad I'm not Eric," said one of the cap experts. "That thing is a mess."
According to NFLPA figures, the taterskins have $115.4 million committed in salary for their top 51 players in 2006. The cap is expected to be $92 to $95 million. That means they have to trim $20 million or so. And that's not counting the $2 million or so the team will need to sign its rookies (thankfully, they don't have a first-round pick to pay, or that would be higher).
The taterskins have done a decent job trimming their cap down in recent years, but this time it might not be possible -- certainly not without a new collective bargaining agreement. A new agreement could help relieve some of the cap problems, but even with one, the taterskins face a daunting task.
"If they reduced everybody to a veteran minimum, and that won't happen, they'd still be $4 million over the cap," said one of the cap experts. "That's before cutting anybody."
So how did it get this bad? The taterskins have paid out big money deals under Snyder, and some of them have blown up in the team's face, leading to the chase factor. You chase bad deals with more bad deals to compensate.
Thus, they have trouble.
When room got tight in the past, they extended players' deals to create room, spreading bonus amortization out over the years. Eventually, though, it becomes time to pay the piper.
That time is now.
We would liken the taterskins' plight to a family that keeps putting off paying the credit card balance by paying minimums.
"All the deals, all the overpaying for years and moving money into future years has caught up to them," said the cap expert. "Last year they had to move $7 million in money into future years. That catches up to you at some point."
One cap expert said the taterskins might be forced to let good players walk, and could be forced to field a team with as many as 20 rookies -- or more.
If there's a new CBA, the taterskins might be able to get out from under the cap troubles a little easier, although it still will be a lot of work.
"Can you imagine the dynamics of what Schaffer is going through?" one cap expert said. "He has to go to Snyder and Joe Gibbs and tell them they have to cut players. That has to be ugly."
Cap hell. It's as ugly as it gets in the NFL, and it's a jail that's hard to get paroled out of.
Still think the taterskins will be playoff contenders?
Gibbs has his work cut out for him this season. Maybe auto racing never looked so good.

USA Today's Inside Slant:
Quote
Scratch the speculation, prompted by Sports Illustrated, that gifted but grumpy Terrell Owens will be a taterskin in 2006. The taterskins strongly denied that they're pursuing the receiver, whom the Philadelphia Eagles are looking to shop after suspending him for most of 2005.
"We have great respect for T.O.'s ability, but he doesn't fit in with us," said taterskins vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato. "We're not interested in acquiring him."
Owens, 32, was chosen for five straight Pro Bowls before becoming a soap opera-like figure in Philadelphia last season. He had previously alienated the organizations in San Francisco, where he played his first eight seasons, and Baltimore, where the 49ers tried to trade him in 2004 before he nixed the deal and demanded to be sent to the Eagles.
taterskins coach Joe Gibbs is a stickler for the team concept, as he showed by trading unhappy leading receiver Laveranues Coles last March. It would also be difficult for Washington, which is way over the projected $95 million salary cap, to meet Owens' expected contract demands. And if Owens disliked playing with Eagles standout quarterback Donovan McNabb, it's hard to see him wanting to team with aging taterskins passer Mark Brunell or untested youngster Jason Campbell.
Denver, Miami, Dallas and Kansas City reportedly remain in the "Where's T.O. Going?" discussion, though agent Drew Rosenhaus declined comment. The taterskins will try to find a receiver to pair with Pro Bowl starter Santana Moss in a less dramatic fashion.
Last year's No. 2 receiver, David Patten, averaged just 9.9 yards on 22 catches with no touchdowns in nine games before having season-ending arthroscopic knee surgery. Patten's replacements over the final nine games (including playoffs) - Taylor Jacobs, James Thrash and Jimmy Farris - caught just 15 passes for 150 yards and no touchdowns. In fact, Moss was the only taterskins wideout to reach the end zone all season.
Patten will be 32 in August, but it's difficult to see the cap-strapped taterskins - who also don't have a first-round draft pick - being able to afford a top-shelf replacement.
—The taterskins have been the antithesis of stability during Dan Snyder's ownership, which began in July 1999.
Washington has had five coaches, six defensive coordinators and seven starting quarterbacks (not counting injury-mandated changes).
Even the three longest-tenured taterskins have had crises. Right tackle Jon Jansen missed all of 2004 with a torn Achilles' tendon. Weakside linebacker LaVar Arrington was sidelined for most of 2004 with a balky knee and was an afterthought for the first half of 2005. And left tackle Chris Samuels struggled through a horrible year in 2003 before bouncing back the last two seasons.
However, through the last four years of that chaos, one thing has remained constant. The taterskins have always known that they could count on Ethan Albright. Nicknamed "The Red Snapper" for his flaming red hair, the North Carolina product has been as reliable as any long snapper in the league.
Whether he has worked for the relatively mellow Mike Stock or the crazed Danny Smith - Washington's last two special teams coaches - Albright has been a model of excellence. He quietly did his job every day, in practice and in games.
Like officials, snappers only get noticed when they make mistakes - as did Albright's predecessor once removed, the late Dan Turk, in Washington's 1999 playoff loss at Tampa Bay. So it's a positive for Albright that he only gets attention when his helmet comes off and his hair sticks out like a red flag to a bull.
Albright has thrived despite working in just four seasons with seven kickers (Brett Conway, Jose Cortez, James Tuthill, John Hall, Ola Kimrin, Jeff Chandler and Nick Novak), seven punters (Bryan Barker, Conway, Tuthill, Craig Jarrett, Tom Tupa, Andy Groom and Derrick Frost) and several holders.
Albright arrived as a free agent from Buffalo on March 9, 2001.
NOTES, QUOTES
The taterskins' biggest challenge this off-season will be trying to get under the salary cap and stay there. Washington was roughly $20 million over the expected $95 million cap in January.
The good news is that only two starters, strong safety Ryan Clark and tight end Robert Royal, are unrestricted free agents, and neither is irreplaceable. The bad news is that the taterskins could use new blood in many places and won't be able to afford to do much beyond signing minimum-salary types, especially if there's no June 1 rule this spring, as expected.
TEAM NEEDS/OFF-SEASON STRATEGY
1. No. 2 WR: The taterskins clearly need more production opposite Santana Moss, who had a tremendous first season in Washington. Taylor Jacobs, a second-rounder in 2003, has been a bust. David Patten and James Thrash are on the downside. Jimmy Farris is just a body. It's extremely difficult to see the taterskins being able to afford such free agents as Reggie Wayne, Antwaan Randle-El, David Givens or Joe Jurevicius, so Washington will likely hope that it can find a legitimate starter in the second or third round of the draft.
2. WLB: If assistant head coach Gregg Williams decides that he can't put up with another year of conflict and distraction because he and the flamboyant Arrington are like oil and water, the taterskins will need to find a weakside starter. Veteran Warrick Holdman had just 38 tackles last year despite starting seven games. He's a singles hitter, at best, not a playmaker. Youngster Chris Clemons can pressure the quarterback but has yet to show that he can handle the run-stopping and pass coverage aspects of the job. Since it will cost almost as much to cut Arrington as to keep him, the latter is the smart move, but personalities may dictate otherwise.
3. OL: When right guard Randy Thomas went down for the season in December, the taterskins had to insert 43-year-old Ray Brown in his place. And when Brown was briefly sidelined in the playoff loss at Seattle, veteran center Cory Raymer was suddenly a guard for the first time in his 11-year career. That's how little faith the taterskins have in backup guard/tackle Jim Molinaro, a fifth-round pick in 2004. With Brown retired and Raymer near the end, Washington needs a serious infusion of depth along the entire offensive front.

STRATEGY AND PERSONNEL
FRANCHISE PLAYER: None
TRANSITION PLAYER: None
UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS
—LB Khary Campbell is a dynamic special teams performer. He led the taterskins with 34 tackles on teams. He has seen little action on defense but could play all three LB spots in a pinch. He should be re-signed.
—RB Rock Cartwright is another presence on special teams (22 tackles) who can also return kickoffs. Despite his mighty-mite size, Cartwright had a 100-yard game at St. Louis and averaged 7.4 yards on his 27 carries. However, with Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts ahead of him and 2005 rookie Nehemiah Broughton ready to replace him, there's no future for the popular Cartwright in Washington. He should move on.
—SS Ryan Clark has been a serious surprise since signing on the eve of training camp in 2004. Clark had 91 tackles while starting the final 11 games of 2005 in place of the injured Matt Bowen. Clark had 72 tackles last year despite missing four games with injuries. Clark is a heady, run-stopper who has the athleticism to get to the quarterback. Clark has lapses in coverage, but he's a steadying force for young free safety Sean Taylor. The taterskins have a competent alternative to Clark in Pierson Prioleau, but Taylor and Marcus Washington are better if Clark is on the field. It will be interesting to see if Washington can afford to re-sign Clark.
—DL Demetric Evans played well in starting nine games for injured RDE Phillip Daniels in 2004 and three games for injured LDT Cornelius Griffin in 2005. Evans had three sacks last season and added another in the playoffs while playing for injured LDE Renaldo Wynn. With DT Brandon Noble's career derailed by injuries, Evans is Washington's top DL reserve. However, he wants a chance to start and will likely depart via free agency.
—WLB Warrick Holdman seemed to be a rising star in 2001 with Chicago. However, Holdman wasn't the same for the Bears after suffering a season-ending knee injury four games into 2002. He seemed to have bounced back with 110 tackles for Cleveland in 2004 but wasn't re-signed after a coaching change. Holdman moved on to Washington but was more a stopgap than a legitimate starter while LaVar Arrington mended his knee and his ways. The taterskins could get by with a Holdman-Chris Clemons duo at WLB, but that's all Holdman does now is get by.
—DT Cedric Killings beat out Ryan Boschetti to be the top backup to RDT Joe Salave'a once Noble was hurt. Killings battled injuries of his own, too, but was an acceptable reserve run-stopper. The journeyman should return to the taterskins, especially with Noble history.
—TE Brian Kozlowski was re-signed last summer for his veteran smarts and because he's pals with QB Mark Brunell. Kozlowski caught just two passes in limited duty and at 35 should no longer take up a roster spot.
—TE Robert Royal had a horrible game in the seemingly critical loss to San Diego on Nov. 27, dropping four passes, but he recovered to record career-highs of four catches and 40 yards the next week at St. Louis. Royal wound up with a career-high 18 catches for 131 yards. He's a solid blocker. The taterskins could start Mike Sellers if Royal departs and Robert Johnson is also an option, but they would also be fine with having Royal return.
—S Omar Stoutmire was signed when the taterskins had a rash of injuries at safety last August and he was solid in limited action. Stoutmire even had a sack in the playoff victory at Tampa Bay. However, he'll be 32 in July and his return probably depends on whether Ryan Clark re-signs since Matt Bowen is expected to be cut.
RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS:
—WLB Chris Clemons was a revelation with three sacks as a pass-rush specialist in 2004 when Lavar Arrington was hurt. Clemons, who spent his rookie year of 2003 on injured reserve with a bad hip, had two sacks in part-time duty last year. If he can show that he can handle all aspects of the job, Clemons could start in 2006. Since he wasn't drafted, he'll be cheap to re-sign.
—LG Derrick Dockery moved into the lineup in the fourth game of his rookie year, 2003, and has been there ever since. Dockery is still more potential than production and commits too many holding penalties, but he'll be re-signed for the third-round tender. The taterskins, who are thin on the line, hope that this is the year that Dockery finally matures.
—CB Ade Jimoh was human torch on defense during his first two seasons and only made the team because of his speed and tackling ability on special teams. However, Jimoh played well as the fourth corner last year, making a huge tackle at Arizona, and with third corner Walt Harris aging fast, Jimoh could be re-signed cheap since he wasn't drafted.
—DL Melvin Williams, formerly with New Orleans and San Francisco, spent all of 2005 on injured reserve. It would be surprising if he returns.
MEDICAL WATCH:
RT Jon Jansen had his right thumb repaired in January and will be ready for the start of workouts next month as will WR David Patten (knee, arthroscopic surgery in November), WR James Thrash (thumb repaired in January), WLB Chris Clemons (knee, arthroscopic surgery in December), LDT Cornelius Griffin (knee), RB Manuel White (fractured fibula in August). Less certain are C Casey Rabach, C Cory Raymer and MLB Lemar Marshall, all of whom were to have shoulders scoped. LT Chris Samuels was due to have his right knee scoped in late February and will probably get a late start. RG Randy Thomas (fractured fibula in December) and LDE Renaldo Wynn (broken right forearm in January) will likely not be ready either. DT Brandon Noble's career is all but over after he suffered staph infections in the wake of both of his knee scopes in 2005.
I like Cartwright, he could be a decent change of pace back, and is a good special teamer. He'd come on the cheap, and the same for Demetric Evans, just to add depth. Looks like the Skins are going to go back to their losing ways this season. Can't wait to see who they missed in the first round when the Broncos use the pick gifted them by the Skins. Pointing.....and......laughing.
like i told the broncos fans who thought they were getting something special with our 22nd overall pick, i'm sure they are much happier with the 22nd pick rather than some top five pick, right? as for cartwright, we're probably gonna keep him, we know how valuable he is, and he's not a bad replacement if betts or portis got hurt. everyone thought last season was gonna suck for the skins, everyone thought moss wasn't a true #1 receiver, and our qb position was zesty, etc.
Brunnell had an anomaly of a year. A repeat performance shouldn't be expected.

:-D I'm sure they are much happier with the 22nd pick than the Skins are without any first round picks. Again.
An extra first round pick is an extra first round pick, regardless of where it falls. They can easily package the extra pick to improve their position in the first round. I don't even know why I'm explaining this as I'm sure the concept of IMPROVING your draft position is foreign to Skins fans. I might as well be talking Greek here.

First: The Broncos did get something special with your first round pick.....
YOUR ONLY FIRST ROUND PICK..... the taterskins got a projected mid-late round QB.
Second: How do you expect to keep Cartwright? Give him monopoly money?
Third: Your QB position did turn out to be zesty. Brunell got of to a decent start, and played well, but his old ass tired out when you needed him. He is only getting older, Ramsey's chances were destroyed by Snyder's coaching shuffles and is gone soon, and Jason Campbell is an unproven rookie wiht zero playing time. If you expect to get the same production out of Brunnel again this year, you've been suckling too much on Gibbs sack.
Quoteeveryone needs to relax. the off-season just started and already "OUR CAP IS F'ED!!" "WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO??" "WE'RE SCREWED!" "WE'LL NEVER WIN ANOTHER SUPER BOWL BECAUSE OF THIS CAP PROBLEM!"
look, our cap isn't in a great situation like some teams, but we've been on the right track since 2 years ago. it's a little messed up since we had no regard for the cap since gibbs, but it's been different. all it takes is a couple key moves off and on our roster. just leave it up to our professionals who's been doing a great job since the gibb's organization stepped in. RELAX! we'll be fine, and we'll be great for years and years to come.

Cap Hell >:D
QuoteTandler's taterskins Blog Ver. 02.20.06--The taterskins gambled when they signed some of their key players over the past few years. They may be on the verge of losing that gamble and the team could have a decidedly different look in 2006.
You can reach Rich Tandler by email at WarpathInsiders@comcast.net
Over the weekend, two almost identical articles by Pete Prisco of CBS Sportsline and Len Pasquarelli of ESPN.com came to almost identical conclusions in regards to the taterskins salary cap situation. They both claimed to have talked to a trio of cap experts from various places and these experts told them that the taterskins were in a cap situation that was so untenable that they may be forced to make drastic cuts to get under the cap. The taterskins, they say, may be forced to play the 2006 season with 15-20 rookies making the minimum in order to get in compliance with the cap rules. There would have to be an unprecedented bloodbath in regards to the roster.
As those two writers are notorious for their frequent anti-taterskins biases, their pieces were immediately met with derision from all around taterskins nation. "There they go again," was the common refrain.
Well, this observer, accused of being a homer far more often than he's called anti-taterskins, is here to tell you that, as painful as it may be to say it, what Pete and Lenny said is by and large true. If there is not extension of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) before the free agency period begins on March 3, the taterskins will officially take up residence in the dreaded cap hell. The taterskins took a gamble and, as of right now, it looks as though they may well lose it.
The gamble they took was to insert roster bonuses into the contracts signed by Marcus Washington, Clinton Portis, and others. Since these bonuses are not guaranteed, they all count towards the 2006 salary cap, pushing it up to a number that is some $20 million over the limit, which will likely come in at $95 million.
The taterskins had to structure those deals in that way in order to make them acceptable under the current collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the NFL Players Association. The gamble that they took was that the CBA would be extended and revised before the '06 free agency season began. That would allow them to guarantee the roster bonuses for those players, meaning that they could spread out the impact over the life of the contract. That would, for example, lower Shawn Springs' cap number by some $2.3 million, Portis' by $2.25 million. The cap savings by this accounting procedure would total $15 million. The rest of the overage could easily be handled by cutting some fringe players and restructuring some other contracts.
It was a reasonable gamble at the time the contracts were drawn up. The NFL and the NFLPA have never before gone to the brink of an uncapped year, which is what 2007 would be under the current CBA, before extending the agreement. However, we find ourselves about 10 days before free agency starts and a CBA extension does not appear to be imminent. In Sunday's Washington Post an NFLPA representative said that the chances of reaching a deal were not very good. That doesn't mean that it can't happen or won't happen. It means that every minute that passes without a new agreement pushes the taterskins a minute closer to entering cap hell.
Without a CBA extension the taterskins will need some very creative measures, some very painful decisions and/or some unprecedented cooperation by many players to get under the cap. There will be an article here Tuesday on WarpathInsiders.com that will look at some creative options. Right now, though, let's focus on the latter two.
One of the problems with cutting players is that with the contracts structured as they are and the fact that most of the contracts are pretty new, there isn't much money to be saved in releasing a lot of players with big camp numbers. For example, LaVar Arrington counts about $12 million towards the '06 cap, but releasing him would result in a slightly higher cap charge than that because of uncharged money already paid to him. It's like being upside down on a car loan, when the car is worth less than the payoff amount. Cutting Arrington would the put taterskins further away from the goal of being able to get under the cap. The same is true of such players who might be considered expendable in a crisis such as Mark Brunell and Davis Patten. :-D
Now, to be sure, there are players that the team could release that actually could save money. Some of these players are ones that the taterskins would rather not cut such as Marcus Washington, Ladell Betts, Jon Jansen and Joe Salave'a. However, the taterskins could cut those four plus Taylor Jacobs, Renaldo Wynn, Pierson Prioleau, Phillip Daniels, James Thrash, Cory Raymer, John Hall, Patrick Ramsey, Walt Harris, and Matt Bowen and still be about $8 million shy of being able to make it under the cap.
To realize the maximum cap savings, which are obviously necessary, these players would have to be replaced with rookies earning the minimum salary. Thus the "15-20 rookies" alluded to by Prisco and Pasquerelli.
The taterskins will not release all of the players on the list above. To make up the difference and to clear the remaining cap space they will have to restructure some contracts and, in the process, ask some players to give back real money.
This doesn't happen very often. Usually when you hear about a player redoing his contract to help the team create cap room he doesn't give up a dime. It's usually just a matter of deferring something or guaranteeing all or part of a salary to spread out the cap hit. The player is not, as many believe, "taking one for the team" when he cooperates in such restructurings.
But it appears that if the taterskins are going to be able to scrape under the cap without losing some key players in the prime of their careers some players are going to have to take a pay cut, plain and simple. And if they don't, well, the taterskins will enter another level of hell altogether.
Again, more on that in an article here on Tuesday. The point here is to tell you that, without a CBA extension, Chicken Little (and Pete and Lenny) will be right. The sky will be falling. A whole slew of players that have been solid contributors will be gone. There will be so many young players on the roster that the team mascot will have to be changed to Barney. The taterskins won't be able to afford any free agents; heck, they won't be able to afford cab fare for a free agent from Dulles to taterskins Park.
There is the possibility that a CBA extension will get done and none of this will have to happen. It's very difficult to assess the chances of that happening; it may not look good now but a breakthrough in the negotiations could occur at any time. But if it doesn't, well, things will get ugly. If you're a taterskins fan, keep your fingers crossed, hang a horseshoe in a appropriate spot, be on the lookout for four-leaf clovers, or whatever you do to try to bring on good luck. This isn't typical media anti-taterskins spin.
It's the real thing.
good thing saunders will be there guiding 10 players cut from temple.
I think March 7th would be a pretty good day to get the new CBA done. :-D
what actually happens if a team is over the cap?
Salary Cap FAQ
(http://www.askthecommish.com/salarycap/faq.asp)
Quote
So...what happens if a team goes over the Salary Cap?
Answer: The short answer is simply that NO team CAN go over the Salary Cap. Note that every contract must go through the NFL League Office before the deal can be made official. Presumably, one of the things the league must do at this time is determine whether or not the contract would violate the NFL's Salary Cap. If the deal does violate the cap, then the NFL will reject it.
There have been instances in which a team has managed to sneak a cap evading contract by the league. Upon further review, the violations were caught by the league and the respective teams were penalized. Penalties include fines and/or forfeiture of draft picks. In recent history both the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers have been penalized draft picks, while the 49ers' front office personnel (Carmen Policy and Dwight Clark) were also fined.
QuotePenalties include fines and/or forfeiture of draft picks
Well Skins fans can take solace in the fact that the league can't go after this years 1st.
Jason Campell was totally worth it.
Especially when you consider who he'll have to work with. Who will they be able to sign? At this point gettng a deal done with a second round rook might be difficult. :-D
Where will they trim the fat? No one on that team is going to (or is really in a position to) take a pay cut.
Think of it: Santana Moss just had the best season in his career, off the charts, "Hey Santana, want to restructure you contract? C'mon!" Marc Brunnel is old and pretty much done, last contract of his career, "Hey Marc, want to take a pay cut? No, honest, we won't cut you like it was cool once Campbell starts..." And finally, to Jason Campbell, "Hey kid, you excited about your future here with the taterskins?"
Ha.
Pointing and laughing.

Salary Cap FAQ
(http://www.askthecommish.com/salarycap/faq.asp)
Quote
So...what happens if a team goes over the Salary Cap?
Answer: The short answer is simply that NO team CAN go over the Salary Cap. Note that every contract must go through the NFL League Office before the deal can be made official. Presumably, one of the things the league must do at this time is determine whether or not the contract would violate the NFL's Salary Cap. If the deal does violate the cap, then the NFL will reject it.
There have been instances in which a team has managed to sneak a cap evading contract by the league. Upon further review, the violations were caught by the league and the respective teams were penalized. Penalties include fines and/or forfeiture of draft picks. In recent history both the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers have been penalized draft picks, while the 49ers' front office personnel (Carmen Policy and Dwight Clark) were also fined.
so then any team going over the cap can be blamed on the NFL then? i mean if the NFL is checking the contract, i am assuming they only check the current year? you would think they would check a few years down the road.

Don't forget Sean Taylor's little episode last season. Think that dude cares if he plays for Gibbs and Co.? That should be fun to watch. Moss got a 6 Year/$31 Million deal, a good but contract. Will he see it as "Elite" type pay? That should be interesting.

With a Deal In Tow, Moss Finally Joins The taterskins
By Nunyo Demasio
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, May 6, 2005; Page D01
Wide receiver Santana Moss participated in his first workout at taterskins Park yesterday after signing a six-year, $31 million contract extension. Although voluntary workouts started March 21, Moss stayed away because of his contract. In yesterday's 90-minute workout, with Moss and his new teammates in T-shirts and shorts, it didn't take long for Moss to display the explosiveness that elicited his new deal.
"He's quicker than lightning. That boy's quicker than a hiccup," cornerback Shawn Springs said afterward. "He's blazing fast."
Moss's stamina was on par with his teammates because the former Miami Hurricane had been working out regularly at the University of Miami, which is renowned for its offseason workouts among alumni. Still, Moss was unfamiliar with Coach Joe Gibbs's offense and starting quarterback Patrick Ramsey.
Moss "was thinking a lot but I saw him make a couple diving catches," said tailback Clinton Portis, another former Hurricane. "He's going to fit into this system. I knew he was in top-notch shape."
At yesterday's news conference to announce Moss's contract, Gibbs said that in the weeks leading to the draft, he checked on Moss whenever he ran into ex-Hurricanes.
"They'd say, 'Hey look, that guy is working himself silly down there,' " Gibbs said. "So I felt good about that. It was good for us, though, to get him in here so we could start working with the quarterbacks."
Moss, acquired in a trade earlier this offseason with the New York Jets for wide receiver Laveranues Coles, said he had been staying away from taterskins Park on the advice of agent Drew Rosenhaus. Moss said he was so anxious about being at taterskins Park that he even prodded Rosenhaus to make a deal and end his unofficial holdout: "It [the holdout] was real awkward. I wish we didn't have to go that route, but it's behind us."
Moss had been scheduled to become a free agent after this season when he was scheduled to make $540,000.
Moss's contract all but officially makes him Washington's top wide receiver. The extension could be voided after five years if Moss plays at least 45 percent of the offensive snaps in any year between 2006 and 2010. Thus, the deal likely will end up worth $26.5 million over five years. The first two years are structured to give Moss the equivalent of guarantees worth $11 million.
Moss's contract is richer than deals signed this offseason by other wide receivers such as Oakland's Jerry Porter (five years, $21 million, including $7 million guaranteed) and Plaxico Burress, who signed for six years and $25 million with the New York Giants, with $8.25 million guaranteed. But Moss's contract stops just short of the one signed by Pro Bowler Muhsin Muhammad, who signed a six-year, $30-million deal with the Chicago Bears, including $12 million in guarantees.
"We wanted to get [Moss] locked for the long term," said taterskins Vice President Vinny Cerrato. "That's better than going through free agency when the money probably gets a lot higher."
Washington's wideouts last season averaged only 11.5 yards per catch and collected six touchdowns overall. Moss's career averages of 16 yards per catch and one touchdown every 7.9 receptions are among the NFL's best.
Rosenhaus and his brother, Jason, also represent second-year safety Sean Taylor, who has missed voluntary workouts over concerns about his rookie contract. Moss said that he saw Taylor, another ex-Hurricane, working out once at the University of Miami. But Moss believes that Taylor works out regularly on his own. "When I do see him, it's around UM," Moss said.
At yesterday's news conference, Jason Rosenhaus declined to comment on Taylor's contract. Said Gibbs: "We just had some real good talks. I think I got a little information and everything from Drew and we'll just see what happens."
But Gibbs added: "The biggest thing there is [Taylor] has a contract."

QuoteEagles fan sues mother of taterskins star Clinton Portis
By John Shiffman
INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
An Eagles fan has sued the mother of taterskins star Clinton Portis, saying injuries from a punch thrown during a game at Lincoln Financial Field required surgery.
Lisa Walters, an Eagles fan who lives in Washington, sued the running back's mother, Rhonnel Y. Hearn of Gainesville, Fla., in federal court in Philadelphia.
The dispute began during the fourth quarter as the taterskins were pulling away to a 31-20 victory on Jan. 1. A group standing near Hearn's seat in the lower level blocked the view of Eagles fans, triggering a shouting match.
"Walters was watching all this, and for reasons unclear to us, Ms. Hearn targeted Walters and punched her in the face," said Walters' lawyer Oliver D. Griffin. "The punch knocked her down. She was bewildered and scared out of her mind."
After the punch, Hearn taunted Walters, the lawyer said.
Security personnel soon moved the Portis group down to the taterskins sideline, a scene captured by Fox TV cameras. Walters was escorted to the bathroom, cleaned the blood from her face, and drove home, her lawsuit said.
The lawsuit seeks more than $75,000, the minimum needed to bring a case in federal court.
Hearn couldn't be reached for comment yesterday. After the game, Portis said his mother threw the punch after someone hurled a beer at her.
"She busted some lady in the nose, but that'll just teach you about messing with her," Portis told the Washington Post. "People come to the game to have a good time. That's what you should do. If you decide your team is losing and you want to cause trouble, then you're going to get what you're looking for."
Griffin said if someone threw a beer, it wasn't Walters.
:-D
Note Portis's comments at the end. "...you want to cause trouble, then you're going to get what you're looking for."
Yep... $75,000 worth, jackass.
I like that Portis says in public right off the bat that his moms did hit the woman. Nothing like farging up her defense right off the bat. WTG, you stupid freak.
it's not like he can't afford it.
75k is weak.. sue for more or shut your trap.
The article doesn't give a specific amount, just says that it's "more than $75,000."
Rhonnell?
She was supposed to be a dude named Ron but her parents were too lazy to pick a chicks name.
And a good job by that nitwit Portis opening his yapper to admit it.
I betcha the clowns on ES have a few things to say about this. Wonder if the Santa Claus incident is brought up by them when saying how terrible the Eagles fans are. Never heard that one before.
Or the dude who's car was covered in human feces? Another classic.
Did you guys hear that Eagles fans booed Donovan McNabb when he was drafted?
I couldn't resist:
Quoteis this a joke??!?? omg....i think Mrs.CP should sue all eagle fans for throwing beer at her
QuoteThat is funny. It shows how classless Eagles fans are in a losing situation. Then they want to sue after they threw the beer on her. This is too funny
QuoteThis was supposed to be another great year for them....but they stunk anyways. I guess the fans need to amuse themselves by being total jerks because their team isn't doing anything for them. I'm glad Mrs. Portis stood up for herself because as much as we hate the Iggles we don't throw $7 beers at people at FedEx. If they were $3 maybe. Regardless I doubt she would get anything worse than community service. Clinton is going to run all over that team next year!!
This ain't no criminal trial, dopey. This is a civil trial. taterskins fans = dumbasses.
QuoteWell, if it wasn't this woman who did something than I feel bad for her. But isn't it amazing, time after time when a bad situation happens its Philly fans involved. Amusing how the article tried to share a little blame, complaining that some in his mom's group blocked the view of some Eagle fans. I was at that game, and I can tell you almost every taterskin fan in the stadium had to put up with more crap than just having to crane their neck to see.
Always Philly fans. I've seen a lot of games at Fedex and RFK. Only with Philly fans do you have a pepper spray incident.

I think the moral is, if you're gonna pop someone, make sure they threw the beer.

QuoteAmid Labor Deal Uncertainty, taterskins Face Payroll Cuts
By Jason La Canfora
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, February 25, 2006; Page E03
The Washington taterskins have less than a week to trim about $20 million from the payroll to come in under the 2006 salary cap, a task made more difficult by the uncertainty over the future of the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and its players' union.
Without an extension to the agreement, the taterskins face several complicated contract renegotiations to comply with the salary cap by next Friday, the official start of the free agency signing period.
The taterskins have about $114 million dedicated to the 2006 salary cap, which is projected to be set at about $95 million per team. They have made little progress in trimming contracts to get under the limit, according to league sources and agents involved in such talks with the team.
The taterskins are trying to trade backup quarterback Patrick Ramsey, according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation, with the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins expressing interest in him. But the team has had no recent discussions with linebacker LaVar Arrington, who will cost the team $12 million against the cap in 2006, sources said. It also has made no headway toward reworking the contracts of tackle Jon Jansen, quarterback Mark Brunell and guard Randy Thomas, all of whom have base salaries of $3.5 million or more.
Talks with the agents for many of those players are expected to occur this weekend at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis.
League and players' union officials have been meeting this week in Indianapolis in an effort to reach agreement on an extension of the collective bargaining agreement. Some in the league believe the deadline for compliance with the salary cap could be extended beyond next Friday for a week or two if the sides are close to a deal.
In the past, the taterskins have converted bonuses and restructured salaries to come in under the cap. But the lack of a collective bargaining extension triggers new provisions that could force Washington to restructure salaries wholesale and possibly to cut players it would prefer to keep. The unresolved talks between the league and union have created other uncertainties that limit the taterskins' ability to sign their own free agents -- namely safety Ryan Clark, defensive end Demetric Evans and tight end Robert Royal -- and could affect its ability to sign outside free agents.
"Everything is on hold right now," said agent Rick Smith, who represents Jansen and Royal. "The taterskins are waiting for the league to give them some direction on if there's going to be an extension to the CBA or not, and that presents two very different scenarios. They're in a really tough, tough position right now."
A telephone message for taterskins vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato seeking comment for this story was not returned.
Smith noted that every NFL team is facing the same issues as the taterskins because of the league's labor uncertainty. Washington's problems are magnified, however, because of how much it is over the salary cap and the way it has structured contracts in recent years. "Right now, the [lack of a] CBA [extension] is whipping their backside," said one agent who has held several discussions with taterskins director of football administration Eric Schaffer.
The taterskins are expected to release defensive backs Matt Bowen and Walt Harris, tackle Brandon Noble and center Cory Raymer, which would create about $7 million in cap space. They also are expected to trade Ramsey (for draft picks) and cut place kicker John Hall, which would free up $3.2 million more. Defensive end Renaldo Wynn and wide receivers James Thrash and Taylor Jacobs could be sacrificed as well.
Even those moves would leave the team about $10 million over the cap, and that is where the restructurings come in. With a collective bargaining extension, the team could convert base salary to bonuses for Jansen and Brunell, and save another $5 million by spreading those bonuses over several years. The lack of an extension would make this much more difficult.
Some in the NFL believe taterskins owner Daniel Snyder is particularly torn by the collective bargaining impasse. Snyder needs a new labor deal to ease the team's cap issues in 2006. But he also has spent heavily on free agents in the past and, if an extension is not completed, there would be no salary cap in 2007. That would allow him to spend as lavishly as he likes on new players.
Snyder also is at the vanguard of a movement by some owners to protect more of their locally generated revenue from the league's revenue-sharing program -- an issue that has divided NFL owners. But his need for an extension of the collective bargaining agreement in the short term could temper his aggressiveness in pushing that platform.

Their elitist attitudes amuses me. Those holier than thou sonofabitches act like their fan base never doesn anything wrong and are just oozing with class.
I also like how prim and proper they are.

Here's the transcript from Show 134 of weekly Outside The Lines - Enemy Colors and Addicted to Sports
SUN., OCT. 20, 2002
Host: Bob Ley
Reported by: Mark Schwarz, ESPN and Tom Rinaldi, ESPN.
Guests: Dr. Joel Fish, sports psychologist; Jody McDonald, host, WFAN Radio, New York.
BOB LEY, HOST- October 20, 2002. Fan passion can turn violent. For one fan, wearing a visiting team's jersey nearly got him killed.
ED ALLEN, WORE EAGLES JERSEY TO EAGLES/taterskinS GAME- Apparently, the same guy who knocked me down pretty much grabbed me by the shirt, as I was unconscious, and beat on my face.
BUTCH BUCHANICO, DIRECTOR OF SECURITY, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES- You do take some risk, all right, walking into a venue with another team's jersey.
FAN WATCHING HOME VIDEO- Oh, no! Play man-to-man coverage!
LEY- Also this week, the point where a fan crosses over from dedicated to addicted.
CHRIS STOLZE, SPORTS FAN- Sports impacts my entire life.
KRISTAN BUSCH, CHRIS'S GIRLFRIEND- I always felt second to sports.
TOM RINALDI, OUTSIDE THE LINES- Is she second to sports?
STOLZE- At times, yes.
LEY- Today on Outside The Lines - When are fans actually addicted to sports? And the dangers of wearing enemy colors.
If you're a fan, you may find what we're about to report this morning to be disturbing and provocative. And for some, it could raise the question of whether they're watching televised images or looking into a mirror. We begin with an incident that, on its face, seems as if from a distant international dateline. This sort of thing, Americans believe, happens over there at soccer matches. Except the story you will hear this morning, just like this violent moment, occurred at an NFL game. And it can be sparked by a simple jersey.
No piece of sporting apparel is more popular than NFL jerseys. Fans by the authentic version for $250 each and wear them proudly to games, even on the road, even when that jersey represents enemy colors. That decision nearly cost one fan his life. Mark Schwarz has his story.
ALLEN- We had a good time. You know, the game was fun, the Eagles won big and, you know, the night turned bad in a hurry.
MARK SCHWARZ, OUTSIDE THE LINES- Ed Allen can't help but wonder what he could have done differently. Surely none of this would have happened had he not rearranged his morning schedule as a personal trainer in order to attend a Monday Night Football game. Surely he could have prevented it had he not stopped on his way from Philly to D.C. to pick up a new Eagles jersey, something to wear proudly at FedEx Field to show taterskins fans where his heart was.
ALLEN- And we just thought, you know, everybody was going to know we were Eagles fans. You know, that was the point.
SCHWARZ- And maybe, just maybe, had he and his three friends -- Matt Brown, John Chynoweth and Chris Soto -- all wearing Eagles jerseys, not headed for the exit mid-way through the fourth quarter, he could have avoided what they say happened next.
As they started down the exit ramp, Matt lagged behind them. A woman alerted the other three that their friend was surrounded by a group of fans wearing taterskins jerseys.
MATT BROWN, ATTENDED EAGLES/taterskinS GAME WITH ED ALLEN- And one gentleman pushed me, pushed him back, and at that point, just chaos pretty much came about.
JOHN CHYNOWETH, ATTENDED EAGLES/taterskinS GAME WITH ED ALLEN- We all got there and started trying to break things up, and Ed was to my left, and I saw him get tackled from the side and fall over onto his back and basically hit his head, bounced off the ground. It was a pretty hard hit. It kind of sounded like an eggshell breaking.
ALLEN- Apparently, the same guy who knocked me down pretty much grabbed me by the shirt, as I was unconscious, and just beat on my face.
SCHWARZ- Moments later, taterskins fan Carl Sears decided to leave the game with his 14-year-old son.
CARL SEARS, WITNESS- We walked about 50 yards down the ramp, and we came across a guy who was totally flat out and unconscious on the concrete. And I initially thought he was a taterskins fan because he had a basically white jersey, but he was covered in blood. And that's why I thought he was a taterskins fan.
CHYNOWETH- Somebody was holding his neck for him so we could turn him over onto his side because the blood seemed to be running back down his throat, so he was having a hard time breathing at this point.
SEARS- It appeared to me that his head had been smashed on the concrete because his head was completely split open. He was covered in blood. And I really did -- I was fearful that it could have been a brain hemorrhage, or I was concerned for his very life.
SCHWARZ- Allen suffered several fractures to his face, requiring three hours of facial reconstructive surgery. Two titanium plates were inserted below his eyes, and his broken jaw was wired shut. Since the incident, Allen has lost 20 pounds and endured short-term memory loss. Dr. Eric Marchant, who performed the surgery, says that with just a few more punches, Allen's injuries could have been even worse.
DR. ERIC MARCHANT, PERFORMED RECONSTRUCTIVE FACIAL SURGERY ON ED ALLEN- And anything could have happened. I mean, he could have been more seriously injured -- I mean, serious brain damage, more than just a concussion but permanent brain injury, death.
SCHWARZ- Allen's mother, Pat, was forced to feed her 26-year-old son baby food. She maintains Ed did nothing wrong. He simply wore an Eagles jersey to a taterskins game in Washington.
PAT ALLEN, ED ALLEN'S MOTHER- Why wouldn't he wear the team that he loves? That's what he's loved since he's a little boy. He's a Philadelphia sports fan all the way
Yup, Skins fans sure do have a right to talk. 4 on 1 and beating an already uncounscious man is mighty brave.
That entire story was obviously fabricated. Nothing bad ever happens at FedEx.
Exactly. Those innocent Skins fans were just minding their business and were walking out after another Eagles asswhuppin and that drunk, stoner loser Eagle fan tripped over his own feet.
I just pointed and went to laugh....but I puked instead.
Hypocrites make me ill.
Has anyone considered the fact that Dan Snyder may simply say F you to the salary cap and accept any fines/penalties that the league hands out. It sounds as though it will be extremely difficult for them to conform to the cap this season. It's not like the league would disqualify them from playing and snyder seems like enough of an ass to do something like that.

Thought about it, but after looking into it a bit, technically there is now way he could go Yankees style. In short, the league has to approve any contract that is proposed, and if it violates that teams cap, it's automatically rejected. So, the taterskins are pretty much guaranteed to have a very bland offseason, especially without a CBA being done. :yay
Makes sense. Thanks. BTW, as much as I would love to screw the Skins I really want the CBA to get done.

The NFL will start farging with their draft picks if they don't conform to their cap standards. So the Skins have to either:
A)Cut a shteinload of players and restructure a bunch more to fit under the cap
or
B)Stay the way they are and have the NFL strip their draft.
Either way, they're farged.

That's the beautiful thing. Either way they are pretty farged. If the CBA gets done, they don't have enough money to sign any decent FA, possibly only some scrubs for depth. They also may not have enough money without major restructuring (not gonna happen, most of their players have already restructured before..
several times) and cuts to sign their draft picks. Down here on some of Danny's paid for radio and TV shows are half-heartedly claiming that the strategy all along when they traded away their first round pick in 06 last year for Campbell, was because they wouldn't be able to take the added cap hit from a first round pick this year. :-D
Without the CBA though, the Skins would be absolutely devastated. While it will suck for every team, the Skins just so happen to be one of the teams it will suck most for.
The panic begins, and it was worth the wait.... (http://www.thehogs.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18342)
QuoteI am seriously embarassed for you.
It's true, all of the experts are wrong, but these random skins fans are right. they're going to have to cut like 5 players who would have been cut anyway, and thats it.
So they are embarrassed by the one Skins fan who seems to actually have a semi grip on reality?
Interesting, yet not surprising.

One of thew things that could be decided is the cap for 2006.
I've been looking for cap hell for a long time now. 2006 is supposedly THE year, but people have been saying this for years now.
If they have to cut players, we'll see. But I kinda doubt it, despite all the amateur internet capologists.
Well if qwert isn't worried than I think we can all rest assured that the CBA will get done. Phew.
Anyway, as much as it would be hysterical to watch the Skins disintigrate entirely for the next 4-5 years without a CBA, it's better for everyone involved that the CBA gets done. Luckily either way the skins are going to have to shave a ton of salary before they'll be anywhere near the cap. Good times.
Saw this on PE.com and just thought it was fitting:

Usually things like this happen last minute.
I would be surprised if a new CBA isn't agreed upon this week.
And if the 2006 cap is 104 vs 92 that makes a big difference, no 30% rule etc.
Then everyone will predict 2007 to be the taterskins cap hell. The cycle will continue.
Edit 30% rule in place, but supposedly not as hamstrung
I don't care if the taterskins ever have cap hell or not. They are banking on Jason Campbell to be the future of the franchise, so the cap isn't really the biggest concern for them right now.
QuoteAnd if the 2006 cap is 104 vs 92 that makes a big difference, no 30% rule etc.
Why in the hell would the cap be 104? Everyone and their mother is saying it will be around 95. You can't just make stuff up and hope that it is true.
Quote from: rjs246 on February 27, 2006, 04:59:36 PM
You can't just make stuff up and hope that it is true.
I do it all the time. Only I don't care if it's true; I just hope people believe the shtein that I'm saying.
but the cap is going to be around a gazillion dollars. that should be beneficial to the Eagles.
A guy I know told me the cap will be at least $103.5 million. I know he's right, because he thinks Gibbs is awsum.
Quotethink Paul Tagliabue's biggest problem this week won't be making a deal with Gene Upshaw to continue the salary cap through 2007 and beyond. It'll be making a deal with his owners. Look for Washington's Snyder, Dallas' Jones and Houston's Bob McNair to be impediments to any new form of revenue-sharing. And that, folks, is what's holding up a new deal on the owners' side.
If there is no extension to the labor agreement, the NFL is set to go into 2007 without a salary cap. That's not really going to cause as much mayhem as the doomsayers are predicting; you're not going to see some lucky free agent wideout, let's say, sign for $20 million a year because Daniel Snyder thinks that player will put his taterskins over the top
2 little bits from Peter Kings article. No doubt he's a moron, but the Skins fans are up in arms and totally offended that he dare take shots at their wonderful owner.
But this appears to be the mentality of Skins fans:
QuoteTwo words there don't have me sold quite yet...."if" and "predicted". If those things happen then my view will change on it but right now there is no CBA so that's the scenario i'm looking at

Don't forget that according to the know-it-all Skins fans that there will be a line of players at Snyder's door just waiting to have thier contracts restructured to help out good ol' Coach Joe.
Sean Taylor will be the first in line. He's all class all the time.
i wouldn't doubt it if many of them played for free, just because they believe in the system.

Yeah, well Gibbs was on the NFL channel Friday and didn't sound too optimistic :-D They're (Kirwan, Cross) saying that a deal is in place and to just be patient. Agreed cap # is around $95million.
Well....from PFT they are saying IF a CBA is agreed upon, it will be based on a larger piece of the revenue pie, and Florio expects the cap will increase 10-12 MM.
Yeah, I read that too, Florio is reporting that the Crop Sheets that the NFL ususally releases have been delayed. Those are the financial reports that the league issues. And if the CBA is extended then the cap would be above $95M.

The only line that pos will be in, is the one at the prison infirmary to stitch up his anal tears.
Will he spit on the Dr. when they stick the needle in his browneye to numb him up?
So the cap might be raised by that much this year to get the CBA done? Seems kind of ridiculous.

Here's the 104 mil number. Who knows where he got it from.
QuoteThe cap is currently scheduled to be between $92 and $95 million. An extension of the agreement could vault the cap to $104 million.
So that would put the Eagles at about 30 bazillion dollars under the cap while the Skins would still be over it by roughly 11 Mil. Funny.

You just don't understand, infidel. It is obvious that a third round pick >>>>> a first round pick. Logic then dictates that if a first is poop, a second is more poopier. By the same
UBERGIBBS logic, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh round is where you find core guys, guys who bend over and take it for the team Gibbs style.

but at the end of the year the eagles will remain 10 bazillion dollars under the cap while the skins just get under by 100,000
Well if there is no CBA the taterskins are farged. i think that is obvious but then in 2007 there will be no cap so football in general will be farged. Looks like the skins and the cowboys will be in a good position in 2007 then...

Read the whole post, or at least the last few pages. Or go visit an actual website with factual knowledge about the CBA and it's effects on the '07 season. It won't be a "spend it if ya got it" type of season, no going out and gettng tons of free agents with a blank checkbook.

Florio = huge Skins fan
Reporting facts has never been his strong point.
I hear from a lot of youse that he's an idiot. But, I find him A) funny and B) spot on more often than not.
Congrats.
At least when he's wrong he admits it.
I also like PFT. I didn't at first but I check it 3 or 4 times a day now.
Anyways...back to the point here:
Quotetaterskins | Clark likely to hit the open market
Tue, 28 Feb 2006 05:36:02 -0800
David Elfin, of the Washington Times, reports Washington taterskins S Ryan Clark is likely to hit the free-agent market March 3. "I want to be here, and the taterskins have let me know they want me back, but we have a lot of cap trouble," Clark said. "We have to figure out a way to make something work that's in both of our best interests. The money doesn't even have to be equal. It just has to be close to what someone else offers for me to stay."
Skins fans = everythings OK, players will take pay cuts because they love Coach Gibbs. The media is out to get us. Peter King hates us. So does that fatbody Lenny P.
Washington newspapers, Joe Gibbs and Skins players = there are cap troubles in Washington
Tell us again how everything will be OK, Skins fans. :-D
Master Of Spin Arthur says:
QuoteNot really no. There's a reason we have never had a cap issue since the cap came about save for the first year of it and now, when it could have ended. Because working under the cap is relatively simple math. The cap is three parts. We utilize two of them more than other teams and one of them less. Because we can. It's why we've never had an issue.
That was in response to a poster saying he wanted the Skins to not go on a spending frenzy unless they had their own players taken care of first.
And Art says that the Skins have never had cap troubles. :-D
Unbelievable.
they really havent tho
as for this year ill believe it when i see it

Cap trouble to me = having to relentlessly restructure your own playes contracts in order to field a team.
They had to restructure Trotter's deal after his first season. The ink wasn't even dry yet.
And Chris Samuels has done two or three renegotiations.
That is cap trouble to me. Everytime you have to convert roster bonuses, option bonuses of base salaries into signing bonuses to keep spreading them out to avoid cap hell...that isn't good.
cap trouble to me is having to cut all your good players because you cant afford them ala the titans
Ha. ES used to take "donations" from their idiot members to help keep their server running, so a bunch of them said they would donate $500 or $100 or whatever if the Skins made the playoffs. Well, when they sold out even more and became part of taterskins.com, they didn't need to collect payments from their stupid fans anymore. So Art, always looking to sound smart and mature but still comes off as a pompous ass, propsed this plan:
QuoteMy thought, a better thought, is simple. The money still goes to the benefit of the community. We don't have server costs any longer, so we don't need that anymore. However, you guys might consider this.
The money still comes to ES and we can provide it to Huly and Pez to help make the unofficial tailgate better and allowing all ES members who attend games to get some benefit from the bets. We could even save some and use it to run contests on our own to give people prizes -- maybe even a trip to a game -- and the like.

I saw that quote today also & think it's indicative of his true nature. Instead of donating it to some valid charity, he proposed sending it to a mini-football team affiliated with another poster or to people who give out free beer & food at a tailgate. farging worthless, selfish prick. Eat my ass Art.
If the Skins are funding that site, why should fan donations go towards member prizes. farging corksucker.
Anyone else think its rather funny that Arrington has a cap number of $12,045,980 and that cutting him would actually result in a $120,00 CHARGE to the Skins? Good stuff.
So, they seriously cannot cut him if the CBA doesn't get extended. They really have to hope he'll renegotiate... again.
QuoteIt will mean good bye for some role type/reserve type players, but we aren't going to be shredded like the media thinks so. We won't be losing any of our "core" guys. The bad thing is, we won't be able to go after big free agents this year, that's the real negative. But think about it, if this is the path we go down, after next year, the highest grossing and most expensive franchise in the NFL will be in a pretty good position for an uncapped year.
Sure we'll suck next year, but imagine, we can buy a gazillion free agents in 2007!! we'll be superbowl champs for sure.

I understand they can buy picks too. Hypothetically, if Danny really was in love with Vince Young, he could pay Houston $20 mill + Patrick Ramsey & take their pick. :-D The funny thing is, that was an actual thought I read there.

And Green Bay needs a solid #2 QB, maybe even a #1 if Favre does retire. Aaron Rodgers is not ready to start.
I think this would rock! Javon Walker would be a great second threat. Could you imagine defending a duo like Santana Moss and Javon Walker? Awesome.
They think they can trade Ramsey straight up for Javon Walker? HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!
So, Rodgers is not NFL-ready, but Campbell should be good-to-go to compete for the job in D.C. this year, right?
These people are constant sources of humor.
Brunell Reluctant to Redo Salary Again
By Jason La Canfora
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, March 1, 2006; E02
The Washington taterskins met with representatives for quarterback Mark Brunell over the weekend in an attempt to restructure his salary and create additional space under the salary cap by the NFL deadline on Friday.
Brunell's agent, Leigh Steinberg, rejected the team's proposal, sources said, and although the sides have not negotiated since, the taterskins could make another attempt to rework the contract before Friday.
The taterskins have $115.4 million devoted to their 2006 salary cap, and must get under what is projected to be about a $96 million cap by 12:01 a.m. Friday if there is not an extension of the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the NFL Players Association. Without an extension, the taterskins face as tough a challenge as any team in the league in meeting the cap. With an extension, the cap figure could approach $108 million.
Brunell, who signed a seven-year, $43 million contract, including a guaranteed $8.6 million signing bonus, in 2004, has a $4 million base salary for 2006, second highest on the team. The taterskins had hoped to convert his base salary into bonuses and diminish his cap figure by several million dollars, but Steinberg declined, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation.
Steinberg, who agreed to rework Brunell's contract last year after a poor 2004 season, declined to comment, but sources said he met with Eric Schaffer, Washington's director of football administration, Friday night at the Indianapolis hotel where team executives and agents converged for the NFL combine.
Coach Joe Gibbs would not comment directly on Brunell's situation, or whether the team would approach him again, but said in general the taterskins are considering all means of managing the cap, given the uncertainty of labor negotiations.
"At this time, a lot of teams have a number of scenarios going on and they're talking to a number of their players to find ways to fulfill their obligations with the salary cap," Gibbs said. "But so much is up in the air right now, and we've got all kinds of scenarios going depending on how this thing turns out" with the CBA.
Brunell, who turns 36 in September, and offensive linemen Jon Jansen and Randy Thomas are three of the most obvious candidates for restructuring for cap purposes, but agents for those players said they have made no movement toward altering those contracts as of the start of this week. Thomas is coming off the best season of his career and Jansen played much of the season with broken thumbs.
Gibbs has been Brunell's biggest supporter throughout his roller-coaster tenure here, prizing his leadership and smarts, and has favored experienced passers throughout his Hall of Fame coaching career. Brunell has significant leverage because he would count more against the salary cap if traded or cut than he presently does ($5.43 million), and Washington's quarterback situation certainly also plays in Brunell's favor.
Patrick Ramsey, the only other quarterback on the roster with NFL experience, has been granted permission to seek a trade and is being shopped aggressively after sitting on the bench virtually all of 2005. Gibbs said that, as of yesterday afternoon, there had been no real progress toward a deal, but Miami and the New York Jets are interested, and there is sentiment in the league that a third- or fourth-round pick would satisfy the taterskins.
Jason Campbell, a first-round pick last year, was the third quarterback last season and Gibbs has said he is ready to fill a bigger role this season.
Gibbs said that if the taterskins cannot receive "value" for Ramsey he could still return, but the team agreed it would move the former first-round pick after benching him, sources said, and could use the $1.7 million in cap savings that trading him would provide, particularly if Campbell is ready to at least be the backup.
The taterskins would like to clear sufficient cap space to acquire a wide receiver and a pass-rushing defensive end in free agency, which begins Friday.
A new CBA would make it even more likely Washington could retain free agent safety Ryan Clark, tight end Robert Royal and defensive end Demetric Evans.

Maybe they should have good ol' Coach Gibbs go over to Brunell's camp to talk to him. Apparently, Gibbs wouldn't have to say a word, just simply wink at him... and Brunell will come
begging to take another paycut.

So, they're about $20 million over the current cap, and they want to get far enough under to sign two quality players in free agency AND all their draft picks? That's funny.
Pointing, and laughing.
at the same two positions as the eagles
it all but certain there wont be one now but root for no deal
I can't bring myself to root for no deal, because I think it's bad for the sport overall.
But if there is no deal, it will be really funny to see all the teams who never valued restraint due to the salary cap, like the taterskins, purging really good players and making their idiot fans believe they can coach up any old scrubs to win it all. It will be high comedy.
Brunell refusing to renegotiate is only the beginning. They are going to ask Jon Jansen, Randy Thomas, Portis, Moss, everyone who has a big cap number to renegotiate, and most likely, none will do so. Most of these guys have already had to renegotiate one or two times. In some cases, more than that.

QuoteCan't Synder ask the players we cut to onyl sign 1 year deals, and come back during the uncapped year. Is that legal?
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
Art's getting testy....
Random Poster X says:
QuoteART, admit it PLEASE...we prepared poorly for a contingency of having no CBA. The other teams in our division didn't put all their cards into something that hadn't been extended yet. How do you honestly explain all of the other teams in our division being at or under the cap right now while we are 18-20 millon over?
Yes cash creates cap works IF the CBA keeps getting extended indefinately...but there should have been warning signs we picked up upon way before this.
To which Art replies:
QuoteWhy would I admit to something so daft and uninformed?
We're well prepared for the situation should there not be an extension. We know exactly what has to be done and how to get it done should that be the case. And, with the tremendous number of players you'll see on the market, you'll find Washington an appealing place for cheap, talented vets who will be banking on bigger deals next year should it come to that.
The biggest problem we have is we haven't been able to engage in the plan of action should there not be a CBA since until now it has been expected there would be. If we had a week or two you'd find even without a CBA extension there'd be no real difference on the roster from last year in terms of starting players. With a shorter period to work you'll have to do more quickly in cuts than you'd like to do, but, Snyder has cash and can nicely do some things with it that will work well for us in whichever reality we are faced with.
We're "over" the cap solely because there haven't been any rules under which to operate to make any moves to do anything. When their are, you'll see fast movement. The only reason we're over any projected cap now -- the first time in the history of the cap since the first year we've projected over the cap at any point -- is because we haven't known how to rework deals which we rework every year. We don't yet know which structuring we get to do.
Part of having cash means using it every year to avoid a major hit. Once we know the rules of the game, we'll start playing and we'll do so with a roster that has only two starters free
My stomach hurts from laughing at some of the posts on that site. I will now retract my earlier statement about not understanding why people form here visit ES.

its not even close....skins die
as each year passes i get closer to the point where id rather the taterskins lose than the eagles win
i can think of nothing better (other than an Eagles superbowl win) than a 7th round pick starting for the taterskins
do teams have to be under the cap by the start of the league year? or another date?
by midnight thursday i believe...or whenever the official start of free agency is
a cap nerd can correct me if im wrong
12:01am on Friday morning all teams must be in compliance with the salary cap.
So Thursday will be the day that rosters get chopped and ExtremeSkins meltsdown.
The uncapped year is pretty much the wild card. I am not sure if they can go out and outbid everyone for FAs, and all of the other ramifications. One thing I do know, is that if their team is so devastated this year due to the massive cuts, there is no way there will be enough decent FAs out their next year for the taterskins to sign to bring them back up to the level of the competition the rest of the division is going to field.
I think I may vomit from happiness at the propsect of the taterskins being almost completely disassembled.
Aren't the Eagles, as a franchise, one of the biggest money-makers in the league? Isn't it likely that the Eagles could become one of the 'big spenders' in the NFL if the cap goes away on a permanent/semi-permanent basis?
Imagine that, the abililty to spend big without a massive roster purge...
what happens if 08 is uncapped and then 09 a new deal is struck with a cap that will obviously be far under what many teams have spent...how will that work

If the cap goes bye-bye it will never be back. Once they get that taste of uncapped money then they'll never approve it (NFLPA) and some owners might not approve it either (Snyder, Jones, etc)
If they don't have a CBA by the end of 2006 then they'll have 2007 uncapped and in 2008 there will be a lockout/strike.

same thing as last time when the cap was initially put in. from what i remember, they agreed on a cap, but it was a season or two before it was the hard cap.
you can have some contracts grandfathered in.
Actually, Upshaw has said they'll dissolve the union to prevent a lockout. I honestly have no idea how labor processes work, but I know I've read that somewhere.
i dont believe anything anyone says right now...imo even if 07 is uncapped there will still be a cap again at some point and probably in 08

They won't need a union if the average player is getting paid well.
It sounds like a good sound byte, though, not something that will actually happen. Unions don't just phase themselves out, and most owners want nothing to do with an uncapped NFL.
I still think a deal will get done. Should be interesting if it doesn't. Lots of teams could be releasing players to get under the cap, whatever it ends up being.
Just read this on hogs.net...LMFAO
QuoteSad and unfortunate??? This could be great! Lets face it, even if we look at the most grim outlook for next year, no scenario has mentioned us cutting any cornerstones or key buidling blocks. Sorry, but Walt Harris, Bowen, Raymer, and Hall don't exactly bring up those thoughts in my mind. And no, I find it hard to believe that no new CBA will bring about the end of the NFL for all eternity. I just hope that 07 isn't the only uncapped year, and judging from Upshaw's comments it looks like we could hit the jackpot with this one and be without a cap for quite a few years down the road.
:-D
except pg that post is pretty much on point
its possible they pull a free agency crash and burn this year but as i said ill believe it when i see it...i tend to lean towards them not losing anyone of substance...as for any uncapped years that may happen...the skins will just buy the league
as stated previously tho by many as long as they lack at the qb position it doesnt much matter what they do

Did Angelo tell you that? Then it must be true!
No doubt the Eagles would spend less than the Cowboys and the taterskins, but I also have no doubt they'd be top ten in payroll every year, as they have been even with a cap in place.
for a team so close to winning it all they consistently have the most space under the cap available...and that is unacceptable...the fans deserve every penny to be spent in order to win a title....if they are 4-12 with a bleak future i could care less what they spend
without a cap they will no doubt get passed in spending by numerous other teams
the taterskins have been spending sick money for years, they still haven't proven they know how to sign players that actually can play. payroll isn't everything, just ask the Phillies.

I don't have time to do the research at work but maybe someone else can help fill in the facts. Outside of last season, haven't the Eagles normally ended up with only $1-2 million in cap space once into season? While they normally
start the season with the most space, isn't what they have left once all the FA's & extensions have been signed most important?
you of course still have to make the right decisions but if you dont spend all your money then you dont give yourself the opportunity to make those right decisions...thats all i ask...again only in the case that youre close to a title
In relation to the cap, the Eagles spend somewhere in-between what the national media and WIP claim and what they claim through Spadaro and Heckert. They've been exploiting the loopholes to transfer cap room from one year to the next with all but an "emergency fund" of $1-$2 million. I don't think they were able to do that last year with the CBA issues, but instead they dumped most of their remaining cap room on Westbrook and Akers.
Either way, saying the fans deserve the Eagles spending every last cent of cap room is an uninformed, taterskins fan comment. So, I will use this as another opportunity to point and laugh at some of the dumbest fans in the country... both the average taterskins fan, and the average WIP listener. They are roughly equal in salary cap acumen.

So having $1-2 million left is unacceptable?
Absolutely. You should always have to restructure at least 1-2 contracts to make any small moves.
C'mon, bm. Don't bow down to the man. You, as a tax-paying, merchandise-buying fan DESERVE $0.00 in cap room EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Any room means that Jeff Lurie hates you and wants to eat your children.
that have had a lot more than that left in each of the past four or five offseasons
last offseason consisted of mike mcmahon even tho they had plenty more to spend
if that doesnt upset you then nothing will
both the average taterskins fan, and the average WIP listener. They are roughly equal in salary cap acumen
or the same as the average eagle lap dog
Sweet lord this is fantastic. taterskins fans sound like hockey fans who woulnd't admit that their sport was going away for a year and kept holding out hope and holding out hope that the greedy players and owners would come to a deal. Well guess what idiots, you're totally screwed.

C'mon, you should know me better than that. In response to IGY saying that they should spend "every dollar", I was curious if he meant that literally & whether he was OK with the few million left over.
Personally, I can't see what they'd improve with $1-2 million anyway.

What you don't know or understand is that the Eagles use up-front roster bonuses more than any other team in the league. Teams like the taterskins love to push back the salary cap hit of bonuses, and even will give "tiered" bonuses to go from year to year. When the Eagles gave bonuses to Westbrook and Akers right before the deadline for the 2005 cap last year, they chewed up all their available room and avoided having cumbersome cap numbers for those players down the line. Because they spent the money after the John Claytons and Peter Kings of the world had long since stopped keeping track is why the average WIP *dook* like yourself is still whining like a little bitch.
No one is sitting here saying that the Eagles had a great off-season or made all the right moves, or any of the right moves, except on draft day. But I am saying that they spent all but a biscuit of their cap room, because I know it's absolutely true.
Your bone-headed opinion toward the team's spending is why you should probably just root for your new hometeam, unless you want to shut off the WIP internet feed and actually learn what's going on behind the scenes.

The thing is that IGY clearly believes the Eagles leave ~$10 million of cap room on the table year after year. It's kind of funny how wrong he is, much like he was on the outlook of PSU's recruiting class... but since he prides himself on being such a big fan, I would like him to some day make an effort to do the research to realize just how wrong he is on the matter of the salary cap. That's his call, though. It's obvious he's been living in DTC territory a little too long.
the skins have NEVER been in salary cap trouble...and now may possibly be in such only because of a labor situation..so i dont understand the comparison of the two...if the eagles were half as aggresive with their money as the skins they probably would have a superbowl right now as they have people in positions to make proper PP decisions whereas the skins havent/dont

No, they're in cap trouble because they kept restructuring deals and pushing others back. 2006 was
the year we knew it was going to come back and bite them in the ass.
Saying "if the eagles were half as aggresive with their money as the skins they probably would have a superbowl right now" when we've been a way more successful team over the past 5 years and are in a great cap situation is dumb. Have the Skins ever gone out in a single offseason and been able to sign a TO and Kearse?

It'll never happen but the thought of the taterskins fielding a team with 20 rookies, when they have devalued the draft so much that they don't even have a full compliment of picks this year, is rather hilarious.

So you're saying the Skins are managing their cap well? By pushing back deals and holding onto a wing and prayer that an extension will get done? Glad you're not running my team.
i dont know what to think with them...honestly i think snyder pays off the league to overlook their cap doings...how else can you explain them never having had to pull a tenn titans or sf 49er type cap implosion
again im not saying they wont eventually have that but please tell me when its going to happen because weve all been waiting for the last six years

One of the Skins front office VP's posts on ES & said that the Post was wrong & that Brunell did indeed restructure yesterday. I imagine we'll read of that later.

Brunell Reluctant to Redo Salary Again
By Jason La Canfora
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, March 1, 2006; E02
The Washington taterskins met with representatives for quarterback Mark Brunell over the weekend in an attempt to restructure his salary and create additional space under the salary cap by the NFL deadline on Friday.
Brunell's agent, Leigh Steinberg, rejected the team's proposal, sources said, and although the sides have not negotiated since, the taterskins could make another attempt to rework the contract before Friday.
The taterskins have $115.4 million devoted to their 2006 salary cap, and must get under what is projected to be about a $96 million cap by 12:01 a.m. Friday if there is not an extension of the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the NFL Players Association. Without an extension, the taterskins face as tough a challenge as any team in the league in meeting the cap. With an extension, the cap figure could approach $108 million.
Brunell, who signed a seven-year, $43 million contract, including a guaranteed $8.6 million signing bonus, in 2004, has a $4 million base salary for 2006, second highest on the team. The taterskins had hoped to convert his base salary into bonuses and diminish his cap figure by several million dollars, but Steinberg declined, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation.
Steinberg, who agreed to rework Brunell's contract last year after a poor 2004 season, declined to comment, but sources said he met with Eric Schaffer, Washington's director of football administration, Friday night at the Indianapolis hotel where team executives and agents converged for the NFL combine.
Coach Joe Gibbs would not comment directly on Brunell's situation, or whether the team would approach him again, but said in general the taterskins are considering all means of managing the cap, given the uncertainty of labor negotiations.
"At this time, a lot of teams have a number of scenarios going on and they're talking to a number of their players to find ways to fulfill their obligations with the salary cap," Gibbs said. "But so much is up in the air right now, and we've got all kinds of scenarios going depending on how this thing turns out" with the CBA.
Brunell, who turns 36 in September, and offensive linemen Jon Jansen and Randy Thomas are three of the most obvious candidates for restructuring for cap purposes, but agents for those players said they have made no movement toward altering those contracts as of the start of this week. Thomas is coming off the best season of his career and Jansen played much of the season with broken thumbs.
Gibbs has been Brunell's biggest supporter throughout his roller-coaster tenure here, prizing his leadership and smarts, and has favored experienced passers throughout his Hall of Fame coaching career. Brunell has significant leverage because he would count more against the salary cap if traded or cut than he presently does ($5.43 million), and Washington's quarterback situation certainly also plays in Brunell's favor.
Patrick Ramsey, the only other quarterback on the roster with NFL experience, has been granted permission to seek a trade and is being shopped aggressively after sitting on the bench virtually all of 2005. Gibbs said that, as of yesterday afternoon, there had been no real progress toward a deal, but Miami and the New York Jets are interested, and there is sentiment in the league that a third- or fourth-round pick would satisfy the taterskins.
Jason Campbell, a first-round pick last year, was the third quarterback last season and Gibbs has said he is ready to fill a bigger role this season.
Gibbs said that if the taterskins cannot receive "value" for Ramsey he could still return, but the team agreed it would move the former first-round pick after benching him, sources said, and could use the $1.7 million in cap savings that trading him would provide, particularly if Campbell is ready to at least be the backup.
The taterskins would like to clear sufficient cap space to acquire a wide receiver and a pass-rushing defensive end in free agency, which begins Friday.
A new CBA would make it even more likely Washington could retain free agent safety Ryan Clark, tight end Robert Royal and defensive end Demetric Evans.

Quotetaterskins | Arrington could be cut
Wed, 1 Mar 2006 15:11:23 -0800
Jarrett Bell, of USA Today, reports Washington taterskins LB LaVar Arrington could possibly be cut Friday, March 3.
$12million in wasted cap with nothing to show for it :-D Point, laugh.
Boy, Arrington and what could've been with him. It's a shame that such a highly touted player couldn't amount to more.
Double post...damn internet!
QuoteTrevor Pryce was just cut by the Broncos. I am living in Denver and if we could find the cap room for this guy he would be invalueable.
Not sure what to say.
i seriously doubt we cut arrington. Instead of being 20 mil over the cap, we'd be 32 million over the cap. Just keep the guy and restructure.

Wouldn't Arrington have to agree to restructure? I doubt he would as he hates the taterskins almost as much as me.
QuoteNFL | Cap set at $94.5 million
Wed, 1 Mar 2006 19:06:59 -0800
The Associated Press reports the NFL has set the salary cap for the 2006 season at $94.5 million. League owners will meet in New York on Thursday, March 2, in an attempt to work out a new collective bargaining agreement. A new CBA could add anywhere from $10 million to $15 million to the salary cap. Teams also have an additional six hours to terminate contracts and request waivers on players. The original deadline was set for 4 p.m. EST on Thursday, March 2, but has now been pushed back to 10 p.m.
Hope Gibbs and Danny Boy have these handy:

QuoteWHAT IF A TEAM IS OVER THE CAP?
A league insider raised an interesting point with us on Wednesday. If a team like the taterskins ends up over the salary cap on Friday, what's the worst that can happen?
The league can't force the 'Skins to cut players. Instead, the league can impose fines and/or strip the team of draft picks. But if, as in Washington's case, the owner is raking in millions in local unshared revenue (and thus can pay any fine with his "walkin' around" money) and if, as in Washington's case, they won't have the cap room to sign the rookies they draft, what's the downside to writing an easily affordable check and/or giving up their entire 2006 draft class?
From the taterskins' perspective, it becomes a basic business decision. Either they cut everyonethey need to cut to get under the salary cap -- or they keep one or two guys we want to keep and face the potential consequences from the league office.
Given that taterskins owner Dan Snyder is one of the guys pushing hardest against expanded revenue sharing (thereby making it harder to extend the CBA), our guess is that the Commish would smack the team extra hard if 'Skins don't accept the cap consequences of a failure to strike a deal that can be blamed in part on the position that Snyder has taken regarding revenue sharing.

It's nice to paint Snyder the bad guy and all, but according to fat lenny, it's the smaller market teams that are the problem.
QuoteThe irony is that it is now a group of steadfast owners from lower-revenue franchises who would block any attempt to extend the CBA without a revenue sharing plan that accommodates their needs. There has actually been more softening by the alliance of eight to nine high-revenue teams, several league sources allowed Wednesday night, than by the lower-revenue clubs.
According to several sources, nine to 10 owners from some of the league's lowest revenue-producing franchises are adamant that any CBA extension must be accompanied by an amenable revenue-sharing plan, one that addresses their concerns about the ever-increasing disparity between the NFL "haves" and "have nots." It takes only nine votes to veto most important league proposals, and the contingent of low-revenue teams has sufficient votes to shoot down a CBA extension.

Cap announced at $94.5mil. After Brunell's restructuring, where are the skins? $17mil, $20mil over? Let the blood bath ensue.
But you know, Snyder hasn't hurt the team at all recently...
Campbell was who they targeted. Thay they telegraphed their play is the only thing you can say.
The Deion and Bruce Smith signings may have had Snyder's input. But that was years ago.
You people believing Snyder is the terrible owner is like the reputation that you will get stabbed at the Linc.
It's taken a life of its own.

If they banked on the CBA being extended, the odds looked pretty good at the time. The old CBA was set up so it really would never expire.
Besides, I've seen too many 11th hour deals to realize that the possibility of something happening this morning is high.
No owner wants to be labeled as part of the group to kill the salary cap.
Yeah I keep reading that. It doesn't mean anything since none of them will give a shtein five minutes after it goes away, but it's a nice little quote to have printed.

The GM argument is fair. You need a GM to rein in the coach. Brunell should have gotten a lesser deal, so I'll agree with you. I don't think Snyder is as involved as you think, but even if it's Gibbs and Vinnie, I agree a GM would be better.
But it's not like they are the only team to try the no GM thing. Don't make it seem like their FO is the only one doing this.

The CBA looks to be unsigned and it won't be done. All the owners agreed to stop talks. However, it isn't all that hard to get under the cap for the skins. The biggest names we MAY lose are Randy Thomas and Jon Jansen as reported by the post. The post did show their knowledge on what is going on at taterskins park when they said brunell wouldn't restructure. Here is a scenerio that works
http://taterskins.scout.com/2/501659.html
The taterskins are currently sitting at a 2006 salary cap figure of $115.5m - $20.5m over the estimated $95m NFL cap and these leaves the Skins at real risk being in breach of the cap come March 3. Cutting of high cost players will net only minimal savings. So that brings us to the first option the Skins have to get under the cap--to cut as many non-necessity players that save money as possible, redo some contracts.
First, the players that could be released. Here's a list of 11 players with their 2006 cap savings if released in brackets:
Walt Harris ($2m)
Matt Bowen ($2m)
Brandon Noble ($1.7m)
Patrick Ramsey ($1.7m)
Cory Raymer ($1.0m)
John Hall ($1.0m)
James Thrash ([body].9m)
Tom Tupa ([body].6m)
Antonio Brown ([body].5m)
Jimmy Farris ($.5m)
Karon Riley ([body].5m)
That's $9.3m saved against the cap (when also figuring in the 12 players who would replace these guys under the Rule of 51)
Note: The Skins could re-sign a couple of the cut players at vet minimum contracts that would be at a similar level of compensation to the player as their 2006 money under the now terminated contract, but at a much lower cap value to the team.
Secondly, contract tinkering to fit the 30 percent rules. Here's a list of players who's contracts we could massage to make some savings with some basic restructuring:
Chris Samuels –

Casey Rabach –
Scrap the $1.6m LTBE incentive in 2006
increase his already existing option bonus in 2006 to $5m, triggering the 2010 year

Base salaries from 2006-09 would be guaranteed.
This would save $1.000m in 2006.
LaVar Arrington –

Make his base salaries [body].545m (2006), $2.275m (2007), $2.350m (2008), $3.377m (2009), $7.4m (2010) and $8.4m (2011).
Base salaries from 2006-09 would be guaranteed.
This would save $2.215m in 2006.
That's a further $12.1m in savings against the cap.
There's $21.4m of savings, which would result in the Skins being nearly $1m under a $95m.

All of this is basically based on players having to redo their contracts. Will everyone do it? I don't know but most on that list are veteran players. That is good and bad. They will help their team but they will also be scared of being cut later in their careers. Note the brunell contract is done.
if losing these 11 players is the cap hell you were all jacking off to for years and years it must be dissapointing. I don't think it could be this easy but, hey what do I know?
All of that is getting done in the next 9 hours for sure.
Oh yeah, and after all of that gets done, you'll have a whopping $1mil to sign all of the players you'll need to fill in all of those holes. Crash and burn baby.
QuoteThere's $21.4m of savings, which would result in the Skins being nearly $1m under a $95m.

They're the Skins dude... who needs draft picks?! :-D
Who ever wrote this accounted for re-signing the players. I do think he underestimated but remember this "cap hell" so we won't be picking up huge people to be replacing awesome players like Cory Raymer and Brandon Noble...
"First, the players that could be released. Here's a list of 11 players with their 2006 cap savings if released in brackets:
Walt Harris ($2m)

as for draft picks you are right. Like I said I don't think it will be this easy. My understanding is that we will be able to offer base salaries and then add the bulk of the salaries to later, un-capped, years. They could sign some rookie for nothing the first year and offer 3 million the next.

A whole lot of denial and Snyder/Gibbs happy juice drinking.
You are farged. You didn't take into account that the people you cut will not be chomping at the bit to resign at league min just to keep playing with Coach God. Or the cost of replacing all these guys you so "easily" cut. Or the cost of signing the rookies and high number of UDFA's that you'll end up with.
But hey... you're right... almost $1 million is plenty to take care of everything. :-D

QuoteYou understand, do you not, that the cap situation is fine for us if the cap persists, and for years, we've laughed at you dimwits who suggested we'd ever be hurt under the existing rules of play. Now that those rules may change you suggest you were right all along, yet, it simply shows how you've always been wrong.
QuoteThe faith in Snyder comes from the only place that matters. Our shared reality.
Snyder has been an exceptional owner because smart people understand his role as an owner is to bring the best people possible to the organization, give them the space they need to do what they think will work, and provide the organization facilities others can't match.
No owner, Snyder or otherwise, is graded on wins and losses. No owner, Snyder or otherwise, has a win-loss record. Head coaches do. Coaches are graded on that. They are graded harshly on that if they tell their owner they need certain things to succeed, they are given those things, and they fail.
Snyder does what owners are supposed to do. He provides the finances to be successful. He hires coaches who are uniformly deemed to be high class. He provides the financial resources necessary to avoid any serious cap consequences other teams so routinely run into.
From a faith standpoint, we only have a reason to have faith given all Snyder has proven he does well as an owner

no owner is based on wins and losses. that's just smrt thinking right there.

What happens if a team doesn't comply with the salary cap?
No team has ever gone over the salary cap, so this is a bit of an unknown. Could Commissioner Paul Tagliabue penalize a team with draft picks? Or fines? With some teams in dire cap shape, we could find out sooner rather than later. The Washington taterskins are one team to watch in this regard, since some other clubs which have studied the taterskins' cap closely have suggested Washington cannot mathematically get into compliance.
They have so much money tied up in pro-rated signing bonuses that they continually push off from year to year, and now they're getting farged hard because they can't re-extend the hit of these bonuses over 7 years anymore.
Pointing.... and laughing.
Quotesuggested Washington cannot mathematically get into compliance.

QuoteWhy can't we just have all of our highest paid players take a paycut and restructure their contract. If they are older players, they have already made millions and probably don't even need the amount they are making now. What would those guys rather do, have a bunch of guys on your team get cut and not be a playoff contender and have to go through a learning process with new teammates again, or would they rather be unselfish and take a paycut to try and keep most of the team together so they can keep on winning?
Also a rumor floating around Snyder will take the cash hit and draft pick loss of being over the cap....

From Art:
QuoteWe have 70 players already under contract. Even if we cut 12 we still have 58. At some point you have to stop believing the taterskins will be unable to field a roster this year and simply acknowledge you and your ilk have had it wrong the whole time. And tonight when nothing happens with the taterskins not obviously expected in any cap circumstance, at least you'll have to stop talking and start paying attention to your better, smarter friends here.

We can all be rest-assured that even if the cap is increased to $100m+, the taterskins will go back to their mediocre ways again after being off-season champs yet again. 6-10, 7-9? Something in that range for sure.
Well with the extension it looks like my offseason wet dream won't be happening. Motherfarger.

No owner wants to be labeled as part of the group to kill the salary cap.
People should not be surprised about a delay. Nobody really wants an uncapped NFL, because it'll screw up what is working for every single owner.
it seems most of you would like football to become baseball just so the skins will lose 12 players. The PA is saying they will never sign an agreement if it is not today. There will be strikes and shtein. It is very possible there will be no cap for many years and if that is so the skins are not in bad shape for 2007 but mostly for 2009 and beyond(till snyder dies and even then a rich person will be the next to buy the skins as they have the most net worth). The cap is what has made football great.

Hearing a Skins fan say that is extremely confusing, but I have to agree. In spite of the momentary orgasm that this chaos would cause for them.

i didn't have the cognitive ability to know what football was back then so i guess i couldn't know for sure. I do know a team like the bears can't just flip from 5-11 to second seed in one year. After the uncapped shtein actually sets in around 2009 there will be teams that will be racing with nascar cars and others that will be racing with hyundais. It is unfair. Luckily the skins sell out their games and make money. luckily the skins have an owner who is more like a dumb fan. Luckily the skins are in a good position but if i was the packers or the cardinals I would be pissed.
Football is football. Its the best sport to watch but in no way can an uncapped NFL be the same as one with a cap.
Looks like that guy who predicted those who were going to be cut and those who would restructure was pretty dead on
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/02/AR2006030201425.html
Although the taterskins were well above the $94.5 million cap at the start of the day, the team's biggest names were not in danger of being released. An official within the league, speaking on condition of anonymity because the cuts were not announced, said the cuts would not have been as severe as expected because the team had considered the possibility of a breakdown in the agreement when negotiating player contracts over the last two years.
As the day progressed, the taterskins were able to make savings by renegotiating existing deals with cornerback Shawn Springs, running back Clinton Portis and others, the official said, leaving valuable veterans such as offensive linemen Jon Jansen and Randy Thomas and defensive linemen Renaldo Wynn and Phillip Daniels safe from the chopping block.
"As a player, you're about the team," Springs said. "You do the best you can do to help out the team."
Those on the prospective cut list included quarterback Patrick Ramsey, safety Matt Bowen, center Cory Raymer, defensive tackle Brandon Noble and cornerback Walt Harris, but most of those players were expected to be released regardless of the outcome of the collective bargaining agreement talks.
"The taterskins have done an excellent job of restructuring a number of contracts in anticipation of a deal (on the agreement) not being consummated," said agent Leigh Steinberg, who reworked quarterback Mark Brunell's deal earlier in the week.
The taterskins are hoping for a new agreement that would set a cap in the $105 million to $110 million range so they can again be aggressive in pursuing free agents. Coach Joe Gibbs is hoping to build off the franchise's first playoff appearance in six years by adding a receiver, a cornerback and a pass-rushing defensive lineman. Also, the team has several free agents it would like to keep: safety Ryan Clark and tight end Robert Royal are unrestricted, and guard Derrick Dockery is restricted.
The free agency period is now set to begin at 12:01 a.m. Monday.
If the taterskins can't be big players in free agency, it would buck an aggressive, big-spending trend established when owner Dan Snyder bought the team in 1999. However, if there is not a new agreement by Sunday, the 2007 season would have no salary cap at all, allowing Snyder to spend more or less at will.
The taterskins were able to renegotiate existing deals with Shawn Springs and Clinton Portis on Thursday even as the NFL pushes back the deadline for free agency by 72 hours.
I want the CBA extension to be delayed just long enough to force the Skins to purge the roster. Then, I want it done.
Think about it... the cap was only $85 million last year... so not being able to get under $94.5 million is pathetic. It's obvious Snyder was putting all his eggs in the "CBA will get extended without problem" basket and completely unprepared for the other scenario, which is why he's an idiot, no matter how much money he lets his coaches and players wipe their asses with.
BTW, the Eagles have paid more ACTUAL MONEY in players' salaries the last 5 years than the Skins. And they didn't have to be stuck up shtein's creek to do it.
Farg the Skins.
NFL Network reports that Jansen has restructured.
Whats funny is that they have to do more of this monetary musical chairs just to get close to the 94.5. And when a new cba is done (which is likely, IMO now that they set it back 3 days) then the players who took a big hit salarywise will watch as FA players signed by Dannyboy are paid more than these "team players" who helped out.
QuoteGuys, with all the restructuring going on, the fact is, we might have been able to get under the cap with almost no cuts at all. The Skins are going to be loaded for bear if there is a CBA and pretty ok if there isn't. And, with taterskins One last seen landing in New York to pick up one John Abraham, well.....
Ok, the last part is made up
I hate that pig farger, Art. Hate, hate, hate.
portis re did his contract and it is contingent on the CBA not getting signed. i don't know the details of the other players but they may have similiar clauses.
QuoteIt goes to show that all the people Gibbs has brought in are great guys who will put their team first ahead of a few dollars.
Jon Jansen
Randy Thomas
Mark Brunell
Clinton Portis
Shawn Springs
Marcus Washington
and unnamed others
these guys are possibly* messing with their wallets to keep this team intact
I think they all deserve a big thanks if no CBA gets signed.
*should a new CBA get signed this entire thing would have been a big false alarm,but it has showed us how close this team is.
look at the Jets ,they asked a bunch of good players to restructure,and where are they now? the street because they wanted their coin over the good of the team
QuoteI love it too. It shows that the era of overpaying players is over. This team is now just that...a team
QuoteIts the Gibbs factor all the way.
QuoteMan. I was just about to say the same thing.
I didn't know about Marcus, but this is just amazing. We were in a jam so our players came to the rescue and bail us out.
It's this moment that I realize what Gibbs' way is all about
This is more than a team. This is a family. You make whatever sacrafices necessary for your family.
I didn't always realize what Coach Gibbs meant about character guys. When he first came back I was 15 years old and I thought who acares about character as long as their good.
I know now. This wouldn't happen on a Spurrier or Turner coached team. Those years were about every body getting theirs.
This is about helping out your teemates. No helping out your brothers so we can all reach our goals together.
You could have given us another SB trophy with Spurrier, but it wouldn't mean as much as it does with these players. Jon, Mark, Randy, Marcus, Clinton and SHawn on behalf of skins fans every where Thank You.
QuoteOnly in the deepest part of my heart did I even dare hope that these guys would step up like they have. I am so proud of them and even prouder to be a lifelong taterskin fan. It's Joe Gibbs all the way. I remember the first JG era very well but I never thought he would be able to find the same type of "character" guys that he had before. Not in NFL as it is today. I think Joe Gibbs had a lot to do with bringing out the character in these guys. Just incredible. Hail Skins!!
Jesus...these people would seriously fellate Joe Gibbs on the 50 at FedEx.
And Arthur weighs in:
QuoteHey, when is someone going to have the official thread thanking Snyder for the money to do this and for hiring such good people like Schaffer to make it happen? I mean, I am happy the players did this too, but, seriously, if someone came to me and said, "I'll give you more money than you are making now if you do this and I'll guarantee a chunk larger than you're guaranteed now," wouldn't we all do it?
The player who took a pay CUT to do this will get my thanks. The rest just get the tip of the cap for doing the right thing
Someone needs to nuke every taterskin fan. I swear.
Know whats going to be funny?

first off most of them are making more money...
Portis is removing 3 years from his contract AND adding more money. I don't know how much of it is loyalty.

Don't tell that to those sappy bastiches on ES. You'd ruin their orgy.
You're wrong. Every player in the NFL would pay money to play for 3 time Super Bowl Champ Coach Joe Gibbs, so it's no shock that many taterskins players are willing to take slightly less money this year and just backload their deal in order to prevent being cut and not being paid anything at all.

ASHBURN, Va. - The Washington taterskins worked to slash some $20 million from their payroll Thursday, then learned that austerity measures might not be necessary after all.
Although the taterskins were well above the $94.5 million cap at the start of the day, the team's biggest names were not in danger of being released. An official within the league, speaking on condition of anonymity because the cuts were not announced, said the cuts would not have been as severe as expected because the team had considered the possibility of a breakdown in the agreement when negotiating player contracts over the last two years.

"The taterskins have done an excellent job of restructuring a number of contracts in anticipation of a deal (on the agreement) not being consummated," said agent Leigh Steinberg, who reworked quarterback Mark Brunell's deal earlier in the week.
QuoteAre you seriously so lost as to NOT understand how this structuring complete validates what I've been telling you the last few weeks. We've structured our contracts in such a way as to allow us to do these things quickly and easily. The reason we will have to cut no one of consequence under any CBA circumstance is because we've written contracts to protect against any scenario.
Every single thing you've suggested would be impossible became publically not only as possible, but, to have happened yesterday. And every single thing I've told you for a long while came to fruition. We do contracts differently than teams that try to cheat like the Colts. It's why we're the best there is at cap management. It's something you now have to recognize every day, because, you just got whipped by smarter men than you.
Portis' deal always was going to be redone after the 2008 season. That was always how it was structured from the day it was signed assuming the cap situation would remain as it was. That's the case now. Absolutely NOTHING has altered in the slightest, but, if the BEST you have to hold on to is that we have to resign our running back in three years as a negative, it probably tells you just how good things are and you can't grasp how
At this point, I'd almost be willing to take a strike if it means the Skins getting farged.

QuoteWhat's funny about this article is not the falsehood that the taterskins can't be competitive next year or that they will be doomed to "cap hell".
It's the notion that the Eagles, well under the cap (according to the article) are chomping at the bit to go FA shopping. They simply can't wait.
Since when? When have they ever been like that?
The Eagles are way under the cap for a reason. And it has nothing to do with clever FO work.
A taterskin fan should NEVER EVER speak down on another squads front office.
If they sold a Snyder/Gibbs gay pr0n on D.C. PPV, they'd have fans lining up to pay $50 to see it.
We should've traded a first round pick to draft a QB in the first round to stockpile three mediocre players at one position. Damnit.
the skins front office is crazy good when it comes to the cap...they basically are able to spends gobs of money and still can be active in FA when they choose...
thank god tho they are completely incompetant as far as getting the right player personel heads in there...cause theyd be dangerous if that ever happened

Incorrect. They do this same thing every year... restructuring contracts to add guaranteed money that can be prorated over time. All they do is continually push the cap hit back and add guarantees to contracts. You're seeing one of the first times this will REALLY bite them in the ass with Arrington. His contract was so heavily back-loaded with the cap that they literally will see a significant cap hit whether he's kept or cut.
Because the cap has continued going up at a decent clip and bonuses have continued to be able to be prorated over 7 years, the taterskins have continually manipulated contracts to stay alive. However, if the cap stays more constrictive than they were banking on or the ability to prorate bonuses over 7 years goes away (both of which will happen if the CBA extension doesn't get done), their backs are really going to be against the wall.
It's similar to the difference between paying cash for something or putting it on credit. The taterskins do whatever they can to push a cap hit to the future, while the Eagles like to find ways to make sure they have the most possible cap room for the future. Both teams spend more real money on players' salaries than most teams by far. The Eagles just end up paying guys who actually play for the team. The taterskins sometimes have to pay guys that they already cut (like Deion and Jeremiah Trotter).

as for arrington he is getting cut cause they hate him and he cant stay healthy...trust me if they wanted to keep him they would
What's he drinkin? A 7-Up?
Vadge.
Can't drink on the "job."
Well, they won't be able to get anyone they want this year unless the CBA gets extended.
How bad is the forward thinking of the front office when they can hardly scramble enough to get under a cap that's basically increased $10 million since the last season?
2005 cap = $85 million
2006 cap = $94.5 million
It really shouldn't be as big a problem as it is. They were ill-prepared for the CBA not to get extended. PERIOD.
Well, they won't be able to get anyone they want this year unless the CBA gets extended.
yeah well pretty much everyone assumed it would get extended...and it still might...as i said yesterday the only reason they will be in trouble for the first time since snyder has been there is because of a labor dispute...and even if it doesnt get extended i wanna see them not get anyone before i believe it

The cap, even without the new CBA, is jumping up nearly $10 million. How badly do you have to backload everyone's contracts to be under an $85 million cap one year and have serious problems getting under a $94.5 million cap the next? That's all I'm saying.
But, once again, if you are so in awe of their system (which is much simpler than you think), why aren't you a fan?
unfortunately, the fact that they actually pushed the deadline back 3 days means it most certainly will get done, and the skins aren't as effed as expected, which is sad

Thats what I was thinkin'. He seems to be in awe of the whole team.
Look, I don't know about anyone else, but I thought when the Skins signed Gibbs, it would be two or three years before he at least got them over the .500 mark. He's a great coach, there is really no disputing that. What I didn't know is that the Eagles would hit the cellar and lose two games to the bastiches. That was something I don't think anyone predicted. The fact we have a supposed Eagle fan here who sounds like a taterskins fan, bets on them when they play the Eagles, and takes my money, sucks major elephant ass.
If nothing else, I can't wait for a healthy McNabb to get out on the field and put those Goddamn Deadskins in thier farging place, and take igy's money so I can point and laugh at the farging taterskins agian.

WITNESS TAMPERING ALLEGATION IN TAYLOR CASE
The criminal trial of taterskins safety Sean Taylor has been bumped yet again, from March 20 to April 10. Although past continuances were largely the result of the fact that Taylor preferred to be banging hats in lieu of finding out whether he'll be breaking rocks, this one has arisen from claims of witness tampering.
According to The Washington Times, prosecutor Michael Grieco said that a witness had received threatening phone calls (http://www.washtimes.com/sports/20060303-114407-3091r.htm) about the case and had been offered money to influence testimony.
Taylor's lawyer, Edward Carhart, identified the witness as Ryan Hill, whose testimony will be utilized by the prosecution. Carhart also said that Taylor has received threatening phone calls (yeah, but those probably came from Bucs running back Michael Pittman, who caught a face full of spit from Taylor during a playoff game in January).
This is some serious stuff, folks. The justice system doesn't take kindly to proof that efforts have been made to get witnesses to tell anything other than the truth. Though it might be a challenge to pin the threats and the attempted bribes back to Taylor, he'll be spending a long time in the joint if Grieco ultimately can show that the allegations are true, and that Taylor orchestrated the efforts to sway testimony against him.
Also, The Washington Post reports that Taylor's defense team has identified coach Joe Gibbs and owner Dan Snyder as potential character witnesses at the trial.
Meanwhile, Taylor is now likely to miss some of the team's offseason workouts, which commence on March 27.
Taylor faces three felony charges for allegedly pointing a gun at a group of people who allegedly had stolen his four-wheeler. In Florida, such charges carry a mandatory minimum of three years, per count.
As we explained when Taylor was arrested and charged in June 2005, the team would be able to pursue millions in bonus money if he ultimately is convicted and misses any mandatory team activity due to his conviction or unfortunate incarceration.
I love that Gibbs and Snyder may be "character witnesses".
Prosecutor: "Mr. Gibbs, what is your opinion of Mr. Taylor?"
Joe Blow: "Well, he is a nice guy.......when he actually shows up for work."
Hope they lock his ass up for a long time, and maybe show the clip of him spitting in Pittman's face in the court room as evidence of the icehole's tendencies.
Nice.
He already changed his number from 21 from 36.
Will taterskin fans buy his newest jersey? Mitchell & Ness could market the Sean Taylor #381265 orange Florida penal system jumpsuit.
Trotter and McNabb didn't show up for traffic court. They're classless and Taylor is innocent. Go Skins.
Come on, man.
Pointing a gun at people = good
Parking in handcapped spots = bad
Gibbs wouldn't allow him to play on his team if he wasn't a character guy. Yay team!

He's had dumbasses playing on his team since he started coaching. Dexter Manley was the biggest crackhead in the league before Lawrence Taylor came along. He was busted and in trouble for coke more times than I can remember before Gibbs finally got rid of him. John Riggins would knock linebackers out with booze breath when they would tackle him, and we all know the story about him passing out under the table and telling Sandra Day O'Conner to "loosen up Sandy Baby". In D.C., that story is told as a big, fun time joke. If you or I did it, we'd be locked up for public intoxication.

Nor could they pay him. However, I have no doubt that not only will the CBA get extended and the new cap be around $110 million, but the taterskins will no doubt agree to trade Arrington to the 49ers for their pick to get Davis.

ASHBURN, VA – Three-time Pro Bowler LaVar Arrington of the Washington taterskins has reached an agreement with the team, with the assistance of his agents Carl and Kevin Poston, to become a free agent and provide the taterskins with much-needed salary cap relief.
Head Coach Joe Gibbs will be available to the media at noon Monday, March 5 in the media room at taterskins Park.
---------------------------
He is giving the skins 4 million so we will release him. this helps the skins big time interms of the cap
Sweet.
If ES hadn't crashd I would go see hwat the pricks are sayin
Wonder how much of the $12 million his deal will alleviate. I'm guessing he agreed to restructure for his release.
he signed a check for 4 million. That is 10 million in savings and 6. something million in penalties so around 3.5 million i guess and then i think the team gets another 6 at june. i don't think anyone really knows just yet.. 'mort' just said the numbers but tommorrow at noon is the last time he will be a skin. After all that farging complaining he just gives back the money.
He can't restructure until the CBA is reached... I don't know what the farg is going on but we will know just about everything in tommorrow. I am sure the Washington post will have something within the hour.

QuotetaterskinS RELEASE LB ARRINGTON
By Gary Fitzgerald
taterskins.com
March 5, 2006
Three-time Pro Bowler LaVar Arrington of the Washington taterskins has reached an agreement with the team, with the assistance of his agents Carl and Kevin Poston, to become a free agent and provide the taterskins with much-needed salary cap relief.
Head coach Joe Gibbs is scheduled to address Arrington's release at 12 noon ET on Monday.
For Arrington, the release ends a six-year run in Washington. He was drafted by the taterskins with the second overall pick in the 2000 NFL Draft.
LaVar Arrington
Arrington became one of the NFL's top linebackers one year later, recording 100-plus tackles from 2001-03 and earning Pro Bowl trips each of those years. In 2004, he suffered a knee injury that sidelined him most of the season.
Last season, Arrington gradually returned from the injury and earned back his starting assignment in Week 9. He started six of the last eight games, plus both playoff games, and finished with 53 tackles (45 solo).
For his career, Arrington has logged 467 tackles (335 solo), 22.5 sacks, 11 forced fumbles, seven fumble recoveries and three interceptions.
His signature play as a taterskin may be the game-changing interception he recorded against Carolina on Oct. 21, 2001, when he raced 67 yards for a touchdown. The play helped turn around the taterskins season that year and elevated Arrington's status as an elite player.
Arrington's departure also creates an opening for a starting job at the weak-side linebacker spot. Warrick Holdman, who started seven games at weak-side linebacker last season, is also an unrestricted free agent. Another option, Chris Clemons, is a restricted free agent.
The taterskins have several linebackers who could move into the role, including second-year player Robert McCune. Washington drafted McCune in the fifth round of the 2005 NFL Draft.
BSB, Any word on the adjusted cap hit? I guess he has to clear waivers first.
Doubt he has to clear waivers since he is a vested veteran

You're right. He bought his freedom instead.
And I wouldn't mind if he hopped his ass in an Eastern Motors ride and drove his ass right on up 95. :)
I was a big fan of Lavar when he was at PSU, but after he became a Skin he went into my shteinhouse. Always thought the same thing about him in College as the Pro's, that he's undiscliplined and free lances too much.
i was going to visit penn state next month and i was going to wear all my lavar stuff. Doesn't look like that is happening now.
I will post up any more information that pops up but it doesn't seem like much will come out unless its in a newspaper. So washington times and wash post. tommorrow there is a press conference and i am sure a lot will be answered. the only place where the number 4 million was used was from mort so i don't know if that is completely true.
people are saying 4 million(i think it will be 3.2 due to his base salary being and release fee being a difference of .8 )+6.5 in roster bonuses=10.5(or i think 9.7) million for the skins. i really don't think we get back the roster bonus though so only 3.2- 4 million??
Despite Arrington's freakish athletic ability and the huge spark he provided last year when he was put into the defensive lineup, I'm sure the taterskins will either have a rookie or cheap depth guy plugged in by Gregg Williams and turned into a superstar... or another talented veteran, or maybe Arrington himself, will come to the Skins for minimum salary just to have the honor of playing for Joe Gibbs.
Or not.
QuoteSo LA is gone. Maybe there is some truth to that little Ray Lewis rumor that was floating around?
QuoteI think we are going to be in the market for either Julian Peterson, Will Witherspoon, or Akin Ayodele...
:-D
yeah this definitely was not a cap related move, they're going after one of the big name free agents.
what does it say about your organization if one of your players would rather pay you 4+ million dollars just so he can be off the team?
It says that your organization should euthanize itself.
Quote from: rjs246 on March 06, 2006, 11:07:35 AM

the arrington move is definitely part cap related but it has more to do with gibbs and snyder hating his guts...i wouldnt be surprised to see the taterskins make a big move to replace him anyway but if there is a new deal they definitely will be active players in free agency
I want the Eagles to sign Arrington for no other reason than to see G_F's head explode.
;D
I'll just throw this in here:

Trotter Chimes In on Arrington's Situation
By Howard Bryant
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, December 29, 2005; Page E09
On the day the Washington Times reported that LaVar Arrington doesn't expect to play for the taterskins next season, former teammate Jeremiah Trotter said he believes the linebacker remains a valuable player.
"LaVar is a guy I would go to war with any day," said Trotter, who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles. "He's a guy that strikes fear in his opponents. When that guy is healthy, he can do anything that he wants on the field."
"From talking to guys that play there, what he had to go through -- not starting the first five games -- wasn't planned," said Trotter, who played with Arrington on the taterskins during the 2002 and 2003 seasons. "He's more of a professional now. He studies and plays within the scheme. I've always said, even when I played there, if we could ever get this guy to play within the scheme, and be a professional, he probably could be the most dangerous defensive player in the league."
QuoteI've always said, even when I played there, if we could ever get this guy to play within the scheme, and be a professional, he probably could be the most dangerous defensive player in the league."
Right there is the problem. No one ever will. The guy is a free-lancer for life, and dumber than dirt.

When I read Peter King's column this morning and saw where he questioned the Skins and Lavar for the little deal they made I knew those ES'ers would be pissing and moaning about it.
Here's what King said:
Quote2. I think just for the sake of insuring trust in the salary cap from some skeptical front offices, the league needs to make sure LaVar Arrington is really going to forego the $4 million in guaranteed money he gave back to Washington to get his freedom now. Not saying it didn't happen, but I am saying with all the money the taterskins have to spare and how convenient it was that the team could find this money after months of hand-wringing over the Arrington deal, the league needs to double-check that the accounting of this is clean
And of course now King is getting blasted by the "Snyder never does wrong" crowd.
QuoteI want to know what the other deal was. Gibbs just said the last two seasons have been rocky. Wishes things had gone smoother. For those of you who aren't seeing this. Joe Gibbs just makes everything seem okay and feel better. No one hates this more than I do, but Gibbs makes it all better
He sounds like a child who skinned his knee and needs mommy to kiss it to make it better. These fargs are sickening. :-D

I think the consipracy theory will be replacing the salary cap hell in nfl lore.
Well, I've definitely given up on one of my hopes for this year, which is that the taterskins will be totally unable to get under the salary cap and will have to cut half the team or face major repercussions.
The good news is that I was equally hoping that the CBA will get done, the taterskins will mortgage the future and go for broke... with some combo of Brunell and Campbell at QB, and continuing to beat down Clinton Portis as an everydown back, and continuing to rely on Gregg Williams to turn pumpkins into carriages... etc etc...
and go 6-10. OK, maybe 7-9.

I don't agree about Portis or WIlliams, but I have about as much hope in Brunell lasting 16 starts as you do in Trotters knees.
Campbell better be everything Gibbs/Cerrato say he can be, and then some.
Well, don't worry. Koy and Mike will be available soon.

why the Garcia hate?
Seriously. I would love to have Garcia as a backup. He's smart. He can throw and scramble. He's a good character guy who would never cause problems. He's played in the WCO for his entire career.
The biggest icehole on earth implied that he might be gay and now we have to endure Garcia hatred and even yet still more awesome gay jokes.
He's the perfect backup for this team.
He's Mike fargin' McMahon.
how many Pro-Bowls did Mike McMahon play in? how many playoff games did he win. the comparison is laughable. in fact, im laughing right now, out loud even.
Or is he farging Mike McMahon? :o

Oh I'm sorry, I must be the only one that remembers "TO made Garcia look better than he really is." Carry on, then.
Jeffy isn't my first choice...nor is he even my third choice to be the backup. But he's better than Neckbeard and Mike. So I wouldn't mind having the drunken closet homo here.
Kitna
Fiedler
McCown
Garcia
Thts how I rate 'em.
No Collins on your list?
Not yet because he still might go back to Oakland.
If he is indeed a FA he'll be ahead of Garcia too. So then the drunken closet homo would be 5th and the drunken closet racist would be 4th.

Quotetaterskins Notes: Gibbs recently contacted defensive lineman Brandon Noble, cornerback Walt Harris and center Cory Raymer, among others, to inform them they would be released and thank them for their service, according to several of the players and their agents. The moves would be made regardless of the outcome of the CBA talks, the sources said. Quarterback Patrick Ramsey was not one of the players Gibbs called, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, and Gibbs said Monday that uncertainty about the CBA has put trade talks for Ramsey on hold. . . .
I know that these players were predicted to be cut weeks ago but this seems more definitive.

taterskins Hike Cost Of Tickets, Parking
By Thomas Heath
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, March 7, 2006; E06
The Washington taterskins will raise the price of lower-bowl general-admission seats 39 percent next season, and will increase the cost of parking in the 20,000 parking spaces at FedEx Field from $25 to $35, up 40 percent.
taterskins chief operating officer Mitch Gershman said yesterday that this is the team's first general-admission ticket price increase in four years and puts the franchise more in line with the other teams in the area
yes thats right parking at fed ex field is now $35....now thats not for buses or winnebagos...if you and one other buddy wanna go see the skins play in your le car you will have to pay THIRTY FIVE DOLLARS to get in the main lots...absolutely unbelievable...lil danni strikes again
to put this into perspective its 10 bucks to park at an eagle game
Also increasing "lower bowl" general admission 39%?!? Hahaha. Skins fans are the dumbest pieces of shtein ever.

first of all that number is bogus as are all the waiting list numbers
second hes saying have a waiting list for 40 years straight and watch what the owner will/can do to the fanbase
what hes saying has some validity...but the fact remains that you can get away with a lot more when facing an upper class milqetoast suburbia fanbase like the skins have compared to the eagles core fanbase
I've been on the waiting list for 6 years.
two or three more bad seasons and youll be able to get tickets no problem

I ***GUARANTEE*** that Eagles fans would not bend over and take it if ticket and parking prices were continually raised past the point of reason every single season. And when the team had been struggling for many years and finally had a passable (although extremely unimpressive anyway) season, and the team's prices go even further up... There would be an absolute revolt.
You see... Philadelphia fans are not, for the most part, blind lemmings. If the Eagles would sell out every game for 3 decades, it would only be because ownership is doing their damned best to build a winner. However, Snyder is too busy trying to sell tickets to truly try to build a winner from the ground up. Everything is quick fixes and "name" players and cash outlays. The focus on true talent evaluation, especially in regards to the draft, is atrocious. But he doesn't care, because he can just continue to do it the easy way by throwing money and names at the problem, and his dumbass fan base will continue to foot the bill with outrageous prices to see the games.

this is true
if the eagles go into the shteinter for an extended period of time say good bye to any waiting list...because of the psl's it will never be like it was in the vet in terms of how easy it was to get season tickets but best believe philly is never going to have a 40 year waiting list
The Phils are learning this now. They thought a short spending spree would sell out CBP for at least a decade, but as soon as the fans realized that the FO/ownership was just trying to sell out the new stadium and not really all that interested in actually winning, they started to give up their season tickets in chunks.
This is the inherent reason why Philly fans are better than Washington fans. We care about dedication to winning more than we care about dedication to spending, because we can actually tell the difference.
Art, Om, Bubba and the rest of the spin control have been absent from the whine about the ticket price hike thread. Shocker they stay away from a situation where they cannot spin it in favor of Snyder.
the shocker is that they are even allowing a thread that criticizes lil danni
scumbags
i don't understand why anyone would defend the skins jacking up prices. Prices are completely insane now. Those $35 parking spots are horrible. You have to take a 5 minute shuttle to the stadium from them. I can't believe danny boy is actually charging that much. Tickets are going up all around DC. The wizards are taking ticket prices up 60%. 60% in one year is beyond belief. $100 tickets are now going to be $160.
The taterskins do this because they can. The area around DC is pretty wealthy. The taterskins however decided to build the stadium in crackville USA. They(i mean danny) saved money by building it in a horrible area. THe taterskin fans will pay $35 without second guessing. Parking passes for spots about 600-1500 ft from the stadium would go for over $150 on ebay depending on the game. I am pissed about this though. If prices go up there is no way I will be going to any games.
BSB, unfortunately enough will pay the price for Snyder to keep on making money.
is there any public transportation or other place you could park a few blocks away. for eagles game, septa is like 2 bucks round trip, its pretty easy considering how inept septa is.
Some things that are happening is just bull shtein now. They have tailgate club(buffet before the game) promotions but this year they are adding on to tailgate club ticket prices. So people who bought the tickets with the tailgate club promotion now will be forced to buy the tailgate club tickets or have their tickets be taken away. some people will be paying about $400 per person per game for decent low level seats this year
All of that money, just to sit at a game where there are just as many away fans as home fans. Pathetic.

I have only gone to 3 games so i don't really know about everything but there is a mall. they too have been charging the past few years from my understanding. The metro station is raising prices on game days to park there. IF you go much further out you will get robbed, raped, and shot before you get to the stadium. The best option was to park in the cash lots but now that it cost $35 I am sure there will be more parking at metro and at the mall up there.
Going by metro is pretty easy but it'll cost a good $12 per person- $5 shuttle offered by danny to get to the stadium.
I had a crack at buying two tickets two years ago when the Birds were playing at Fedex. After I realized going to a game at Fedex, buying tickets, parking, and buying food and drinks was considerably more than my car payment I happily watched it on T.V.
Absolutely farging insane, and the masses down here will say almost nothing other than some murmurs that it isn't fair, while waiting in line to buy Danny's shtein.
I have to admit that as a 'visiting' fan at FedEx while I was living down there, I would have gladly paid more to degrade the Skins fans in their own stadium. Those games provided some of my best memories.
I haven't been to a taterskins home game since they left RFK and I have no desire to attend one in Raljon either.
BTW: LMFAO @ the Skins soaring ticket & parking prices through the roof. No fanbase deserves to get farged up the ass more than those delusional fargs do, including Cowbitch fans.

The taterskins have given quarterback Patrick Ramsey permission to visit the New York Jets, Detroit Lions and the Miami Dolphins as part of a possible trade.
Ramsey has been shopped in trade discussions over the past few weeks but the taterskins had been asking for a second-round pick. Now, he likely will be traded in the next week for a draft choice in the second day of the draft.

They'll probably get dick for him, and he'll turn out to be a decent QB with some
stable, proper coaching for once.
Difference between the taterskins and Eagles:
Eagles drafted no-name A.J. Feeley in the 5th round and somehow molested a team for a 2nd rounder in return (which turned into none other than Reggie Brown, a very promising WR).
taterskins drafted a good college QB in the 1st round and managed to lower his value so badly, despite the fact that he actually plays pretty well, to a 2nd day pick.
The kicker of the whole thing is that Ramsey is, right now, probably a better QB than Feeley.
Pointing, and laughing.
They'll be lucky as hell to get anything more than say....a fifth. The funny thing was all last year, that it seemed like Gibbs was intentionally lowering the guys value. Classic.
Man, you don't understand the genius of Gibbs' logic. If you know the player is going to be traded, you make him look worse. Teams will offer a lower pick or picks much quicker than they will a high pick. Duh.
why would you trade for a guy they'll have to cut?
Quotethe thing i love about gibbs is that he always brings in such quality guys. Guys who would rather play for a team than make millions. I just cant wait to see who he brings in
such a shame that they agreed to a deal and the taterskins escape cap hell
we were never in it. we still are going to cut/trade ramsey and cut noble. We are going to do the same thing. The only difference is now we have money for FA

Problem for the Skins is that everyone else has $10 mil more than they had beforehand too.
From what I read the Skins were still $3M over the 94.5 number. They were going to cut Harris, Tupa, Noble and those guys to get under the 94.5 number.
So if the cap is $102M and the Skins were at approx. 97.5 they will have $4.5M to spend.
Rough estimates, but they still don't have a windfall of cash to spend.

QuoteWB, when you admit to being wrong all the other times, we'll care. Just remember, we KNOW you're wrong before you even speak. But, remember who it was who told you the cap would be OVER $100 million about a year ago? I'm super in touch. Listen to me. I'll try to guide you.
Like, the Eagles didn't spend more than the Skins even in cherry picked years you listed because the Eagles hide millions each year in false incentives as you've bragged about, so you know their cap number and spending don't match.
Art is unbelievable. :-D
He doesn't believe the USA Today numbers that the Eagles spent more than the Skins even though the links say that it is cold hard cash and not CBA loopholes.
QuoteWide receiver David Patten said the same. Patten signed a five-year, $13.5 million deal with a $3.5 million signing bonus. "They didn't come to me," Patten said. "And I didn't volunteer. Would you volunteer to give your money back?"
They're getting all pissy at Patten for saying that and not being willing to give up some money. :-D
Oh, and I forgot. All of those players who restructured? Their deals revert back to what they were before since that was only if a new CBA deal was not reached.
So I have no clue how much money they have.
Art knows everything. How hard is it to understand?
Stop. Stop stop stop stop.

Catch 22. Reading it now and not being able to respond is torture. Being able to respond for a week or so and then being banned again might be worse. I may kill me.
I may have to agree with IGY on this. If I could hurt one person who I've never met, it might be Art. UGH!

Actually, irony would be Skins fans criticizing the Eagles for being "cheap" during FA but then say that they are "trying to buy a Super Bowl" when they do throw some money around.

An Ode to Extremeskins (http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=147351)
brings a tear to my eye...
QuoteConfession: in my world at that time, I was the leading authority on the Washington taterskins. My entire extended group of NFL-lovin' friends, family and colleagues all said so. God's honest truth is to that point in my life I had never run across another human who could stick with me once we really got into it—from taterskins history to their current roster to their positional needs, etc. No, despite what you're thinking, it wasn't hubris on my part; I had simply had never met anyone as passionate or borderline obsessed about my team as I.
But here ... here there were a few dudes that got my attention. So naturally, I left.
I mean, it couldn't be, right? Not on some chatroom on the internet.
A few days later I came back. Quietly. Just to verify for myself that what I thought I'd seen was an anomaly; a mirage.
I gotta tell ya, it was a serious ego hit. Found myself reading along and realizing that while I might have known my Skins **** pretty good, there were many others out there who were every bit as schooled in the big picture as I was, but were also far more up-to-the-minute on the details ... and that many of them were thinking through and discussing certain aspects about the team in a manner I'd never had need, or the opportunity, to explore. It was humbling.
I quickly discovered it was something else too, though. A challenge. Here, perhaps, was something I could use to my advantage—a way to raise my game. A way I could learn, in the privacy of my own den/office, and take that knowledge out into the world ... where naturally I would pass it off as my own.
Hey, if I can't go to jail for it, I'm not above stealin' ****.
But a strange thing happened. In those first few heady days of discovery, when I was just about to register to this "Extremeskins Message Board" (which ran in the neighborhood of 200 members at the time), in order to dip my toes in the water and test myself against some of these other serious taterskins fans ... I hesitated.
Why? Because I watched as people who brought even semi-weak arguments, or even semi-faulty knowledge, or even just plain semi-stupidity to the board, were exposed by the group. Quickly and efficiently. Not with name-calling or rudeness, mind you, but with informed, articulate, concise and witheringly on-point counter-arguments that left the unsuspecting semi-offender a smoking pile of goo.

You people really bought into the whole cap hell thing.
While the real impact of the new CBA will be seen in a few days, your fans are also buying into the fallacy that your team will not have to make a hell of a lot of moves just to get at a comfortable cap level. It's not like actuarial leprechauns waved a magic rod over taterskins Park & absolved the Skins of their cap sins. They'll end up with some space but there will be sacrifices & I highly doubt that they are going to have the coin to go crazy in FA.
In order to get to where your team is (which is still over), please consider:
1) They released Lavar Arrington, one of the most popular players on the roster. Regardless of the why's of his departure, his defection has helped your cap situation.
2)
Have to release about 6-8 players. So far the ones that I know of are Bowen, Noble, Harris & Raymer. While some are easily expendable & would have been released anyway, some are going to eat into your depth. What happens if you can't find a trade for Ramsey?
3) They have 13 UFA/RFA's that still need to be signed. How much of your newfound cap will be needed to sign the ones you want? How will they replace the ones you can't sign?
While some roster turnover is a fact life, estimates show that your team may lose about 15+ players that are going to need to be replaced via FA & draft. Do they have enough draft picks & cash to do that in FA? If they go balls out for a guy like Abraham, who'll eat up a lot of the cash & cost a pick, how are the other areas addressed?
I won't pretend to be an expert but you need to admit it's not going to be all daisies & chardonnay during the next few days. It may be more like ball gags & studded butt plugs.

QuoteTHE NUMBERS GAME
Just as the CBA has been reconfigured, so have the salary-cap numbers for the teams at the start of free agency. But the extension means that only four teams -- the Washington taterskins, the Indianapolis Colts, the Oakland Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs -- will have to restructure contracts and/or release players to get under the cap.
The taterskins are about $7 million over the cap, the Colts about $5 million, the Raiders about $4 million and the Chiefs about $2.5 million.
But there are some teams that could practically horde the free-agent market. With the CBA extension, the Minnesota Vikings are now $31.5 million under the salary cap, the Green Bay Packers are $30 million under the salary cap, the Arizona Cardinals are $26.5 million under the salary cap and the Cleveland Browns are $24.5 million under the salary cap.
Gentlemen, start your checkbooks.
no their not. the skins have no cap problems. this is a lie.

You may be right, as what we are able to put together from the media has been highly inconsistent, ranging from being over by $7M to being under by $19M.

They've been having a mini-revolt over there lately. Newbies vs. Art'sballeaters. Good entertainment
you mean theres actually skins fans over there now that are repulsed by art like we are
I find it funny some are trying to hold on to the idea that the skins are in "cap hell". The skins are now out of it. The skins restructured 12 contracts. From my understanding those contracts were contingent on the new CBA NOT getting signed. Now that the CBA is not signed the skins will now start the restructuring processs again. The skins do a good job just getting under the cap every year. If the skins start to sign real talent they will be very good because they know how to handle the cap. Since gibbs came aboard the skins have signed some talent.
The skins will be under the cap somewhere in the range of 15 million to 20 million.
They won't even be 10 under. They were almost 10 over before the thing got signed.

Hi, I'm Earth. Have we met?
I've read this and have heard this a few times on local media outlets. This site here was pretty damn accurate when it guessed the cap restructures before the CBA. here is one with the new CBA
http://taterskins.scout.com/2/507127.html
most of the restructures are with players that agreed to do it before the CBA was signed. Some, like CLinton Portis, gained a lot with the restructures and they will not do it again. These basic restructures are the way the taterskins operate. They always have done this. They know how to make cap space and push it over to later years. The threat of Cap hell therefore is always talked about.
It feels as if the skins got to push a reset button and get rid of their cap problems for now but it is to be seen if they will be as aggressive enough to make more now and put themselves back into the "hell" they were in. I think the skins will pull 12 million under the cap but they can get even more room if they choose
QuoteThe taterskins also have 8 key players who have large roster bonuses due in 2006 (totalling $13.650m) that could be guaranteed and spread out over the remaining life of the contract or to 2010 if the tenure is longer. This move would result in a further $10.4m in savings for 2006, bringing the taterskins into cap compliance with $7m in cap space already created.
All this and the team has yet to cut or trade a player in the process.
So what other moves could assist in creating additional cap space and potential free agent dollars? Those likely to happen are the following:
Patrick Ramsey could be traded (saving $1.7m)
Brandon Noble ($1.7m), Cory Raymer ($1.0m), Matt Bowen ($2.0m), Tom Tupa ([body].6m) and Walt Harris ($2.0m) will probably be released within the next 48 hours (saving $7.3m)
Jon Jansen and Randy Thomas could undertake a basic 2006 base salary to bonus conversion restructure in thier contracts that could save a further $5.1m.
If all these moves were made (allowing for replacement of released players under the Rule of 51), another $12.2m would be saved, pushing the projected cap number down to $19.2m below the NFL limit
Sounds like a hell of a lot of wishful thinking to me. Don't forget, when you release a player it leaves a void. They're also pushing roster bonuses back further which is what got them in trouble in the first place.

pump your brakes homie...its gonna be more like 7-12 million...not that that number actually means anything to lil danni...hes gonna spend what he wants when he wants regardless of what his relation to the cap is...

That is true. The skins are usually go over the cap during FA and have to do something before the season starts too. But they always find a way to get under. Last year they were able to absorb a 9 million dollar hit from the coles/moss trade(WHICH BY THE WAY HAPPENED EXACTLY ONE YEAR AGO TODAY ;D). I really suck at this cap stuff. I do however think getting to about 90 or so million will be relatively easy from what I have read.
The skins are free from their cap hell for now. They can easily choose to push back salaries and add incentives until they are in cap hell again. Being 10 million under the cap is reasonable right now for the skins. If they get much more than that they are pushing back salaries which is not really a good thing and will lead the skins back into 'cap hell' in two years.
I would really like to get out of these cap problems so I would choose to stay low one year and do something with 7 or 8 million but it seems daniel knows what he is doing with the cap. It would take some serious skill to renegotiate those contracts by tommorrow. They will probably free up less than 10 million instantly so they can get under the cap. After negotiating for months they will push back the salaries of 6 players and get some room to afford the FAs they signed even when they didn't have the money to sign them. This is how 'they do'
Quotetaterskins Eyeing 49ers' Lloyd
By Jason La Canfora
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, March 10, 2006; Page E03
The Washington taterskins are exploring available options for acquiring San Francisco wide receiver Brandon Lloyd, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, but completing such a deal could prove difficult because Lloyd is a restricted free agent.
Lloyd, 24, has been unable to agree to a long-term deal with the 49ers and is free to negotiate with any team, but he received a one-year qualifying offer from San Francisco that would require a first-round draft pick as compensation should he sign elsewhere. The taterskins do not have a first-round selection in next month's draft, but could work out a package of other assets for the player and sign him to a multiyear contract. No trades cane be completed until 12:01 a.m. Saturday, when teams can also begin contact unrestricted free agents from other clubs
QuoteJETS CLOSING IN ON RAMSEY DEAL
New York Post
By MARK CANNIZZARO
March 10, 2006 -- The Jets, hell-bent on repairing their crippled quarterback situation, are acting quickly on Patrick Ramsey - so quickly that the former No. 1 draft pick out of Tulane could join Chad Pennington and Co. within days.
Two sources familiar with the goings on between the Jets and taterskins, told The Post last night that the Jets and Jimmy Sexton, the agent for the Washington backup quarterback, have been actively working on the parameters for a trade that would bring Ramsey to New York.
Word is the Jets would give the taterskins a fifth-round draft pick in next month's NFL draft as well as a possible conditional pick in the 2007 draft, depending on how much and how well Ramsey plays.
That pick, according to one of the sources, could be as high as a third-round pick should Ramsey start a certain number of games and perform to a certain level.
QuoteI searched for any threads regarding lecharles bently to the skins, but I desire to make a prediction that all can see. I truly believe The Skins are aiming for LeCharles Bentley in Free Agency.
With the articles, and interviews in which our FO referred to OL as a priority it is sure that with all the cap room we have (possibly 19 mill.) and considering that we are the taterskins with Danny Boy at our side what I believe becomes a reality. Plus, a recent article in the "Around the NFL" says LeCharles Bentley may not sign with Eagles. Something tells me Danny Snyder and Gibbs may be using their ability to persuade and it's working He knows we're Super Bowl Contenders and I truly think we are in the spotlight right now with all that's going on. If I was a player I certainly would think "Man it would be nice to go get paid and play in friggin D.C.". Juts think about it we really are on our way back up and I think many many people see it. Lastly, think about something this way. Maybe we didn't resign Dockery to start, and maybe we aren't looking for OL help in terms of backups. What if we are shopping for a starter and a star because our depth problem is on it's way with Dockery. With the evidence I have peresented at hand I Predict that within so many hours we will behearing talks of exactly this.
LeCharles Bentley signs 6 year deal with Skins
Wow... you really start to question why people like that nutjob are allowed to roam the earth. :o
Anyway... they can have their Bentley fantasies now, but we all know Bentley will proceed to being "overrated" and "sucking" the second he puts pen to paper for the Eagles.
They just signed Casey Rabach last year (right?), and they have nowhere NEAR $19 million in cap room. While I wouldn't be totally shocked if they made a semi-run at Bentley, they have other greater needs and can't really offer Bentley the Center gig, which is where he really wants to play.
Brandon Lloyd sounds more along the lines of the type of free agent they can and will go for.
ff one day you will....at least i think you will...realize the cap doesnt apply to the skins...i agree with you that bently is not a need for the skins and i cant imagine them going after him...but if they wanted to get him they easily could

No doubt, but they want other high-priced guys a lot more than they want Bentley, IMO... so I don't think they'll use any cap space on the top FA on the OL when they consider DL and WR bigger needs.
I have no doubt they could push off and clear enough space to sign both Randle El and Abraham if they wanted to.
i was wishing that someone like bentley would have been available last year. Rabach is solid. Too solid to be a backup but who knows. The skins desperately need a WR and Brandon Lloyd is a really great WR as a number 2. like FF said the skins have to worry about the DEs and WRs. now i guess they need an OLB and some OL depth.
Hey, I agree with Bigskinbauer for the first time: The Skins will likely not go after LeCharles Bentley, and it's not because they absolutely can't, but more because they have other and bigger needs.
Basically, if you disagree (IGY), by process of elimination you are wrong.

Who??
Take a wild guess.
If they do go after Lloyd then they have to trade for him. He's a RFA with the 1st round comp on his ass. So if they trade for him they'll have to give up less than a 1 because they no longer have a 1. Unless they give up 2007's #1 which would cause me to die of laughter.
Lloyd considers himself to be a #1 guy. He's not going to be happy playing second fiddle to Moss, especially in an offense that rarely will throw the ball more than 25 times in a game. The coaches in San Fran question his work ethic, and attitude. He has been known to make an amazing catch, then drop three easy passes, and he has questionable route-running prowess. I did a bit of research on Lloyd before and this is what I saw most of the time in comments by scouts and coaches.
In a nut shell, I really hope the Skins give up a lot for him. :yay
Quotetaterskins | Team targeting Randle El

The Associated Press reports the Washington taterskins are targeting free agent WR Antwaan Randle El (Steelers) via free agency, according to a league official. He spoke on condition of anonymity because under league rules, the team is not allowed to contact the players until the market opens at 12:01 a.m. EST Saturday, March 11. Randle El is one of four free agents the Reskins are targeting. As noted earlier, the other three are free agent WR Brandon Lloyd (49ers), LB/DE Andre Carter (49ers) and S Adam Archuleta (Rams).

I'd assume they will go for Randle El, not get him, then trade their 2nd rounder for Lloyd.
Phreak's a slow losa.
They'll be no recievers over 6'. That is a good formula.
Anyone see Vinnie Cerrato on NFL Total Access? The guy is in the running for biggest douche in Skinsdom. he's talking about the "planes" being fired up and waiting on the tarmac to go pickup the FA guys they are interested in. Eisen asking him about how they always sign "big names", etc., but no comments made about how they sign the big names, and more often than not, get dick in return. I hate that farging guy.
Yeah, he is Mr. Smithers to Mr. Snyder. He's a league-wide joke as a lackey GM.
He was talking about taterskin One, Snyder's Leer.
The jerkoffs on ES actually have a thread dedicated to where the plane will fly to. They register to some site where you enter the tail number and it tells you the planes flight plans that were filed with the FAA. Its funny because once one guys 24hr memeber ship runs out they beg another poster to sign up.
Its funny when they see a destination. Like one was in North Carolina the other day and they all were like "OMG!1!1 Who lives in NC?!?!?" We're getting Witherspoon! No, he's flying to talk to John Abraham who lives in SC!"
If there ever was a plane that needed to crash and burn......

QuotePunter Tom Tupa, safety Matt Bowen, cornerback Walt Harris, defensive tackle Brandon Noble and center Cory Raymer were released as the team met the midnight deadline to get under the NFL's new $102 million salary cap.
Watching Vinny Cerrato on NFL Total Access, I was convinced of a few things:
1. Vinny is a puppet, and not a very good one either. He's a complete clown.
2. The taterskins obviously are not very concerned about the draft, which makes sense because they're looking to trade their 2nd round pick to acquire Brandon Lloyd.
3. NFL Network is st00pid. They flashed the "taterskins hold 22nd pick in 2006 draft" more than once. Yeah, they held that pick before they traded it away for a loser bust QB.
P.S. It's rumored that the taterskins WILL get QB help, though... They're going to bring in Todd Collins from KC.

Maybe he means that the Skins couldn't offer him a "poison pill" deal (a.k.a. a frontloaded deal), so they've have to make a deal with the Seahawks to remove the tag to have a chance at him.
Although, you're probably right about him being a complete moron.

QuoteSome of you people need to give up this notion that draft picks are so "valuable". Give me a proven player anyday then some media hype on a guy who plays for a big school against 2-3 tough teams per year. How's that Taylor Jacobs 2nd rounder and Gardner as a 1st, etc., etc. Look at every year's 1st round picks and see how many busts there are. The percentage of busts is much higher; believe me
Hell, just trade all of the picks away.
Snyder has brainwashed those Romes.
QuoteBeyond that, the taterskins are reportedly interested in trading for Lloyd, who led the 49ers in receptions last year. A source close to Lloyd said Washington was prepared to offer a third-round choice this season and a fourth rounder in next year's draft. Lloyd, who apparently has been secretly seeking a trade, expected the deal to be completed
If the Niners take a third and a fourth for the dude, they gotta be high. While Lloyd isn't a gamebreaker, he's worth more than that IMO. Something like that has gotta involve more compensation.
The funny part is that Brandon Lloyd is hardly proven and that the taterskins will have to give him pretty damn big dollars because he's so full of himself. So, he's like a draft pick, only much more costly.

They just don't get it, do they? Has it ever occured to them that a major reason why the Skins are always having cap problems is because Danny boy spends so much money on high priced veterans? And look where it's gotten them. 1 playoff appearance in 7 years. Maybe if they'd spend their time developing young players and singing them to long term deals when they're still young and relatively cheap (Pats/Eagles) and then use free agency to fill a key hole or two they may actually be able to compete on a consistant basis.
This isn't rocket science, it's common sense.

I wouldn't say he is hardly proven, the guy was the only bright spot on offense for the Niners the last two years.
2004 43Rec 565Yds 6TDs, but he was injured for 3.5 games that season.
2005 48Rec 733Yds 5Tds
Like I said, he's not a go-to type reciever, and solid #1, but he does have skills, he is worth more than just a three and a four next year.
Brandon Lloyd, other than being a horrible rapper (do a search in this forum, its posted and its pretty zesty) is a guy who makes a great catch and then pisses away the easy ones. Plus he has attitude problems.
But hey...Big Art already has a highlight video of him pinned at ES. So he's already thinking of ways of spinning Lloyd's icehole attitude and the fact that he isn't reliable and likes to piss off his coaches and teammates.

Lloyd's the type of player that I would love to have on the Eagles because he's an extremely gifted player. But, since he does lack focus on the field and has some attitude problems, I wouldn't trade anything more than a Coke and a smile for him.
Well, obviously when he meets Coach Joe Gibbs his attitude will change. He will come in and love playing for Coach Gibbs and will be an elite reciever. Thats what happens when you play for a 3 time Superbowl winning Hall of Fame coach.

I have been reading about that clip all day. I think it is pretty damn obvious(atleast from that clip) that he is just thought that ball was going to someone behind him. He will do a front flip and catch a ball but won't grab one above his head. There is no one there that runs by him that would have tackled him. I hear that this one is boarderline but there is "the one" in Chicago that he went all pinkston.

Lloyd had 2x the amount of receiving yards as anyother player on that POS team.
3 players, a WR who hates the team, a TE, and a RB got more yards, on the same team, than Brown did. Brown seemed to have a system that he could excel in and didn't show to much outside the two taterskin games.

Brown >>>>> Lloyd
By a longshot. Still, I think the Skins made a good deal. Lloyd's young and worth a 3rd and 4th IMO. Bad attitudes unfortunately go with the WR territory.
I think it would have been a good deal if they would have given up like a 3rd and a 5th or 6th. I think the 4th was just a bit high for him. But regardless, it was still a pretty decent move. I still think the Skins are idiots for trading away their draft picks and throwing a ton of money at a veteran when they could probably find a similar type player in the 3rd or 4th round who would come with a much cheaper price tag. So while I think the trade itself was decent, I think that because it was the Skins and given their cap situation, it was stupid.

cooley, archuleta, campbell, randel el. Our boys hard at work at the wizards domination over the pistons tonight.
I think Randel el will be a bear soon but archuleta might be a skin. He might be a bear too though...
who needs draft picks when you can sign overrated veterans.

The funny part is that Brandon Lloyd is hardly proven and that the taterskins will have to give him pretty damn big dollars because he's so full of himself. So, he's like a draft pick, only much more costly.

See, that's the problem. You think nothing of the draft picks. Just last year, the Eagles got an OT capable of playing in year one in the 4th round (Herremans) and a good pass-rushing DE in the 5th (Cole).
The issue isn't the picks, or the money. The issue is picks AND money. The taterskins routinely make deals like this instead of making a concerted effort to build from within first. This is why they will occasionally catch the right chemistry and make some good things happen, but they will not build a long-term winner... a team that will be competitive year in and year out.
thats cause they dont have a gm
its pretty well known around the league that if you want or need a draft pick call lil danni
Yep.

Are qwert and Bigskin a goddamn homo figure skating team? Spin, spin, spin...
Snyder & Cerrato also, if I recall correctly, had to trade for a pick so they could get Chad Morton from the NYJ as a RFA. So they traded with the Pats and got the wrong pick. It wasn't high enough in the round per league rules and they had to re-do the trade.

See, that's the problem. You think nothing of the draft picks.
Where did I say this, exactly? I said a 3rd+4th was a great price for a proven Brandon LLoyd. If you think he's marginal, you need to watch more football. He was a bright spot on a team with lots of problems.
I've seen plenty of Brandon Lloyd, and he is a marginal talent.
He's Freddie Mitchell, except possibly slightly more athletic and able to make a great catch. His attitude is reminiscent, his speed and acceleration are similar, and he will give up on a play or on his team if he's not getting his.
Obviously, the taterskins will hope to start him and get him plenty of balls, but if the QB situation starts to become problematic, Lloyd will start to act out.
Plus, it doesn't change the fact that your team throws money seemingly everywhere but the draft. Why not beef up the college scouting team, get a real GM, and get some cheaper young talent to go with the free agents?

That is a great point, qb situation still terrible.
Also, the Skins seem to be in cap hell, and Eskin talks how they mismanage the cap and will never be able to sign players. I would also like to know how they can continue to sign players year after year and spend tons of money.

Brandon Lloyd's deal is relatively small and back-loaded. Randle El's 6 year deal probably includes a tiered signing bonus with a very, very small cap # for year 1. Sure, they will find a way to stay under for this year.
In the end, they will not have spent more than the Eagles this off-season. They will, probably, have committed more guaranteed money to future years.
Ummmm...Sirius is reporting he HASN'T signed with the Skins and that Randle El is now on his way to Chicago. Just what they're saying.

I'm not so sure about that, Gibbs has stated he's not doing business that way. Besides, we've heard that tune year after year since Snyder started spending(2000), and it has never caught up with them yet. They always seem to find a way.
Eagles fans should be outraged that management refuses to spend money. Who is going to be left if they keep waiting. Donovan can't do it alone, he can't do it when surrounded by a star reciever.

More source stuff. Not exactly official but I haven't heard or seen anything to say it hasn't been done.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Washington taterskins signed versatile playmaker Antwaan Randle El this afternoon, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, completing an overhaul of their receiver corps. Randle El, 26, will join Brandon Lloyd, 24, who was acquired from San Francisco on Friday, and Santana Moss as the taterskins attempt to improve their passing game in 2006.
Randle El was one of the premier free agents on the market, and is one of five players completing visits to Washington Sunday, along with defensive end Andre Carter, safety Adam Archuleta , quarterback Todd Collins and tight end Christian Fauria.
Washington's offense became stagnant in the postseason, with Moss the clear focal point of the downfield game, but now starting quarterback Mark Brunell will have an array of options. Randle El, a former college quarterback, also is an elite return specialist.
The Chicago Bears, Randle El's hometown team, made a push to sign the receiver when free agency began just at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, an offer believed to be worth about $20 million with an $8 million signing bonus.
The taterskins entertained Randle El and the other free agents at a Wizards game Saturday night, and the players were back at taterskins Park this morning and afternoon. Randle El's agent, Fletcher Smith, was also here; Randle El, who helped the Steelers win a Super Bowl title last month, left in taterskins Park in a limo at 2:10 p.m., saying a deal was not yet done. Smith departed at 3:20 saying, "We haven't accomplished anything yet, but I'll be here for a little while."
The details of the contract were not immediately available.
Carter, a pass-rushing end, was the second player to leave taterskins Park yesterday, heading out around 2:45. Carter is drawing significant interest from other teams -- Denver among them, according to a source -- and he, too, left without signing. He was accompanied to his limo by Greg Blache, assistant head coach -- defense, who wished him well and added, "We hope to see you back here." Carter did not speak to the media.
The next to leave was Fauria, 34, who has was part of New England's 2003 and 2004 Super Bowl teams, and has played 12 seasons. Fauria was not believed to have joined the other four free agents during their festivities Saturday night. Archuleta, 28, and Collins, 34, who were not accompanied by their agents, remained in taterskins Park at as late afternoon. Achuleta could provide cover incase free safety Sean Taylor serves jail time as part of his upcoming felony assault trial, and with starting strong safety set for three free agent visits to other clubs this week. Collins worked with Al Saunders, associate coach -- offense, in Kansas City and would provide experience behind Brunell and rookie Jason Campbell.
Well, the taterskins have so far been successful in what they wanted to do. None of their targeted players have signed elsewhere or gotten away from them yet, so kudos on that.
As usual, it will remain to be seen how well the big signings will fit in with the scheme. I think it speaks volumes that the taterskins had their best year in recent memory last year, when they were relatively quiet in adding free agents and the Coles/Moss trade was by far their biggest move, which worked out well, obviously.
I am not convinced that the taterskins will be good enough on offense to make the playoffs again. Also, with additions and subtractions, I don't see the defense improving as much as staying about the same.
We'll see. A lot of off-season left.

The taterskins need a TE, DE, SS, OLB, and OL depth to have everything needed. They don't have draft picks and they must address these positions some way. They really need a TE to have a functioning offense unless they move Cooley to a real TE roll.

The $10 million in bonuses is almost certainly not all up-front, which makes that deal not too bad for both parties involved. It's certainly more than Randle El's worth, but it's less than I thought he was going to get.

Of course, but don't you find it at all strange that no one is reporting this deal as 'Official'? They just reported he's talking to Chicago and that they're trying to get confirmation either way whether he signed or not. My guess is he's using the Skins to drive up his price.

he's not very good.
perfect for the taterskine
remember that when he returns a punt for a touchdown against the Eagles, and they're giving you Reno Mahe
A $31M punt returner and gimmick player?
No thanks. I've said all alongtht someone would overpay for him and our boy Danny did. Yes, I know the Eagles haven't done shtein. But that doesn't change the fact that ARE is overrated.
who cares what they pay? the Eagles have a shtein load under the cap, if the market calls for ARE to get paid that, then he gets paid it, just because you (not necessarily you as a person, but the Eagles FO) feel he shouldn't be paid that much doesn't mean shtein, it's what the market dictates.
I know that the market sets itself. But look at what WRs have signed so far.
Robinson = 12.7M
Holt = 15M
Jurevicius = 10M
Wayne = $40M
Davis = 1.3M
Now where is ARE in that spectrum of talent? Is he really that close to Wayne? Snyder did what he usually does. And I'm not trying to make this into a total money thing because its not. I am just not an ARE fan.
Regardless...I wasn't crazy about him in Philadelphia. I'm not trippin that he signed in Washington.
I'm too lazy to go over to ES, but I'm sure theyre all creaming their pants over this.

Quote"There are a lot of speeches about core guys, but then they don't keep the core group together," said Clark, who's going to visit the Steelers today. "I love my teammates and my coaches, but there's the football side, and there's the business side of the building. [taterskins owner] Dan Snyder likes to make big moves, and Archuleta's a first-round guy. He's a good player, an athletic guy. They'll be able to use him well."
Clark, who made the Giants as undrafted rookie in 2002 and had a surprisingly large impact after signing with the taterskins just before training camp in 2004, would be unhappy to leave Washington.
"We have real good chemistry on defense, especially in the secondary," Clark said. "I know my role. And my teammates know what to expect from me. I'm not trying to break the bank. I just want to take care of my family. But with Sean [Taylor] and Archuleta, three's a crowd. I've worked too hard to be on the bench again. I've been proving people wrong my whole career. This is just another example of nothing coming easy for me
Archuleta left for Chicago without a deal.
Ryan Clark, a guy who the ESers slobber all over as a "core guy" now are saying he's not a core player because he ripped the organization.

taterskins | Team to visit with Abraham
Sun, 12 Mar 2006 22:35:39 -0800
ESPN.com's John Clayton reports the Washington taterskins scheduled New York Jets franchise DE John Abraham for a visit Sunday night, March 12. It will be interesting to see if the taterskins have the right draft choices to trade to the Jets for Abraham. The team has only a second, a fifth, two sixths and a seventh in the 2006 NFL Draft.
Let's laugh at the Skins for this not happening, because I'm going to say it's a dead lock that there is no way they get him.
Bigskinbauer can rip me all he wants if they get him, because it ain't happening. 8)
I would rather the skins sign carter but that doesn't seem to be happening either
The Skins would have to give up their first rounder next year and something else to get Abraham, THEN they'd have to throw a pile of money at him too. I know the Eagles now have a pair of DE's with a storied injury history, but Abraham just smells like the kind of guy who will sit back after collecting the big dollars.
So, I agree... you'd probably be better, all factors considered, with Carter.
who cares what they pay? the Eagles have a shtein load under the cap, if the market calls for ARE to get paid that, then he gets paid it, just because you (not necessarily you as a person, but the Eagles FO) feel he shouldn't be paid that much doesn't mean shtein, it's what the market dictates.
yeah its amazing how much eagle fans are infatuated with money...in this repsect you have to give it to andy and banner and the way they have completely brainwashed a large segment of the fanbase
All I know is that Randle El's contract looks very similar to Darren Howard's at first glance, and I'd rather have Howard.
Randle El:
$31M
33 catches
Sweet!
I want a job that will pay me $1mil for every time I do what my job is.
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on March 13, 2006, 08:21:56 AM
Randle El:

Sweet!
Darren Howard's contract is paying him $685,393 for each career sack.
Bargain!
whats howard getting paid for last season...at least with randal el you can pay for potential...as a clear cut #2 in a spread offense that doesnt run the ball 150 times a game he might blow up
howard was horrible last year on a defensive line that was better than the eagles...not saying he cant revert back to form this year but still
A little psychobabble from Dr. Art Freud to get youse through the day:
QuoteWhile not bad advice, let me say to you, why not live it up a little? The season will bring what the season will bring. But, until then, as no team can compete with us from a management or organizational standpoint, doesn't it feel RIGHT to feel good and let others know it? Why be shy or reserved about the potential that is so clearly there for us when should it not be realized, we'll have that time to be reserved or in pain.
Today is for making dreams.
Reality will take care of the rest

I think you mean Anna Nicole Smith's face on Cerrato's body, dude.
Andyman(Vinny Cerrato or Karl Swanson) who is the ES version of deepthroat says Archuleta is a done deal and will be announced at a 3pm PC.
Today is for making dreams?
hahaha oh my god, you can't get much more lame than that.
Archuleta is John Lynch lite. Meaning his ball/coverage skills are very questionable.
Still, it should be a decent signing for them, assuming Springs, Taylor, & Rogers can handle all their coverage needs.
Well, that is... if Taylor's not in jail.
hopefully his disk will re-herniate

So you want him to pull a Larry Johnson (grandmama, not girlfriend beater), or a Grant Hill?
The Taylor/Archuletta safety combo should leave lots of receivers wide farging open.
Well, if they don't get shot or get their head taken off away from the play... sure.

Also, you probably should kill yourself and improve the world's average intelligence by a couple of points.
Just signed Randel El, :o :o 2 more to go....genious ;D
looks like one more to go but i don't see the skins getting carter. Just didn't seem to work out but maybe it will. The skins could do if they wanted though.
I have to admit I'm surprised that they are able to make this many moves. Then again, they only need about $500k to sign all of their draft picks this year, and they could always just change the entire teams' salaries over to guaranteed money and prorate prorate prorate!
Carter would be a fool to not look around, though. It's a thin DE market.
the skins can pay abraham and would do so if they had the picks to trade for him....so of course they can afford carter

No, not really. The key to these signings is tiered signing bonuses. It's still guaranteed money, but they don't get it all this year, so the taterskins can push even more of the cap hit to future years.

It's simple, really. They just continually transfer salaries into bonuses and redo contracts. You saw this nearly hurt them with Arrington, but they somehow got him to agree to GIVE BACK THE MONEY? Unreal. In fact, I don't believe it really happened, and it will be interesting to see what the Skins do after Tags leaves.
randle-el is spanish for 'randle the'.
The Offseason Champs are one step closer to the Golden Paper trophy with this signing. Man, Archu-fargin'-leta, he's not an overrated bundle of mediocrity or anything!
Archuleta is one of those signings that makes you worse.
Spadaro: "They went out and got Archuleta, who SUCKS. He's only a name anymore."
Haha. Even from our version of Art... still funny.
Wait, when was he more than a name? ???
it was either clark or him. I like clark more. CLark is a good guy. Clark will spend time for the fans and he has taken late fines just to make sure he signs everyone. Clark is a good player and will be a credit to where ever he goes. I would have signed clark but since it is clear the money doesn't matter to the skins i guess archuleta was the right move.
Randle El was a good move IMO.
Lloyd is a turd but may be decent on the field. tough call with him.
Archuleta is highly overrated by the media. doesnt cause turnovers and sucks in pass coverage.
Hey, I like money too. The Skins should sign me. I don't have any real skill, but that's okay because I'll want a lot more money than I'm worth.
change your name to a player they've heard of. i suggest Walter Payton.
I was gonna go with Randall Cunningham.
skins just added andre carter as well...it never ends
Good for them.
Still won't be more than 5-11 next year.
you think they are going to be five wins worse than last year?
I'll give them a real chance at 8-8. That said, I think the Eagles will probably be about 8-8 as of now also.

Heres to $100 obstructed view nosebleed seats at Fedex and $60 parking in the Green lot.
i think it depends on Brunell, who can't play better than last year, but can play worse.
but that's besides the point. the line we've been fed over the years is that the Eagles do things the right way with the cap and the taterskins do it wrong. take away who they are signing, just the fact that they are supposedly in cap hell and they are able to be as aggressive as they are. what's the point of all this management?
They got the 4 guys they targeted. Kudos to their FO for that. For the record, the Eagles have already missed on Bentley and even Brian Finneran... so whether or not the taterskins are able to turn these acquisitions into improvement for their team, we should probably let them enjoy this for a day or so. They are NFC offseason champs after 2 1/2 days.
what's the point of all this management?
bingo
there is no point to it...yet many eagles fans live and die by it

I would love the Eagles to do more, but where has this spending got them? The Eagles are better than them every year.
Yes, including last year. With a healthy McNabb and a TO that wasn't a punk the Eagles beat them twice.
that's why i said that you have to look past who they are getting, forget the fact that they are absolutely incompetent at selecting players. imagine if they had Tom Heckert (and an owner that stayed out of his way) and they spent the way they did.

They are spending money on garbage.
Lloyd is an average inconsistent receiver, Randle El is a #3 receiver who does a lot, but won't do anything more for them than Pinkston does for us, Andre Carter is an OK DE, not near Howard's caliber, and they still have no QB, no offensive line, and even with Carter no defensive line.
The Skins suck.

Read my post above. Last year the only thing that made the Skins better was the injuries to the Eagles, and TO's bullshtein. The Eagles were and are still better.

I'm talking about just as a receiver. As for the other stuff, the taterskins aren't smart enough to use that in their playbook.

The taterskins were the ones who won in the playoffs. Losing your second playoff game doesn't stand for much, then? I guess you Eagles fans know a thing or to about teams losing their second playoff games.

1 bad back
3 fumble recoveries
3 INT's
22 passes defended
All of that in 5 years of NFL service.
And he can't cover worth a shtein either.

I don't think the taterskins moves affects the market. In reality, no one else does what the taterskins do in terms of massaging the cap.
They taterskins have no qualms about paying someone 30% more than what another team wants to pay.
Randel-el 8 mil guaranteed in CHI, 10.5mil in Washington. They don't even think twice. Everyone thinks it burns them, but in the end it never does.

He markets that team in other ways, but yes, he's rough on fans. I've already stated here I think he's a prick. But that doesn't mean shtein in the end. You seem to think there is a cause and effect here with the ticket price. Trust me, he would have raised them regardless.
I'll still go to games and still pay the farging money and he knows it.
Right, and as long as he's making the profits, he's not going to rebuild the personnel department in his organization to build a long-term winner. That's the inherent problem. It's not that he doesn't want to win. It's that he hasn't been absolutely forced to find a better way, because the fans are lemmings regardless.
yep...which is why he makes a monster splash every year in free agency whether it helps his team or not...because then he can justify that he is doing everything possible to help them win...which validates his insane prices on parking, tickets, concessions ect...
the amazing thing is you literally cannot find one taterskin fan anywhere that disagrees with what he does...im not saying it has to be like philly or new york where they murder their teams but good god the skin fans are utter fools

You keep saying that, but the moves in the last two years have been very successful.
Moss, Washington, Portis, Preileau, Rabach, even Stoutmire all good moves.
Trading up for Cooley, Rogers, Taylor, all good picks.
Say Campbell here and you get hit with a barrage of wasted pick/bad move crap, but it was a move for the future right or wrong. It was the guy they targeted
You keep saying that, but the moves in the last two years have been very successful

qwert, one playoff appearance in ten years isn't the epitome of success.
Year after year Snyder has been spending money like Imelda Marcos in a shoe sale, but until last season had absolutely nothing to show for it.
Will they make the playoffs this season. Very possible. But there are some that come here and talk like the taterskins have had it all over the Eagles for the last seven years, when it's been mostly the polar opposite.

He made a lot of mistakes, for sure. I'm not sure if he actually had a hand in the B Smith, J George and Deion moves, but I blasted all three. Didn't like the Trotter move either.
i don't know about eating it up. You could say the same thing about Eagles fans eating up the notion that the team is "fiscally responsible" and how that is good for the team.
If Rabach is so good why are they going after Jeff Mitchell?

The o-line depth is horrible. When Corey Raymer tried to play Guard last year after Brown went down it was like watching a HS player out there. And Brown was freaking 43 years old.
They're probably just exploring options. Maybe they see Rabach now as a backup like he was in Bmore all those years. A high priced backup. ;)
Honestly, I was happy enough with Rabach.

When It Comes to the Salary Cap, The taterskins Pass the Bucks
By Tony Kornheiser
Wednesday, March 15, 2006; E02
Excuse me, but exactly how does the NFL salary cap work? More to the point, are the taterskins operating under the same salary cap as everybody else?
Because every February we read that the taterskins are way over the cap, and disaster is looming. And then every March the taterskins outspend everybody else. So it can't be a hard cap. Cap, schmap. It has to be some giant rubber band that The Danny can stretch from here to eternity.
In the last few days at the cost of, oh, I don't know, $100 million, the taterskins have brought in a young wide receiver, an old tight end, a large defensive end, a strong safety, an aging backup quarterback and a young triple-threat wide receiver, punt and kickoff returner who happened to be a college quarterback. (If you're counting, this gives the taterskins five quarterbacks at the moment. It's beginning to look like second base on the Nationals.)
Is there no real limit to all this spending? Or is owning a team in the NFL like going to the Copacabana, where if you want a good table you just grease the maitre d'. Because it seems impossible that the taterskins haven't gone flying over the cap in the last few days. Where does all this money come from? (That's a joke, peeps. Obviously, it comes from the parking, hahaha.)
All this talk about "restructuring" players' contracts is fine. But don't the players have to make some money sometime? And doesn't money count toward the cap? When does the NFL stand up and say, "Okay, the betting window is closed." Or are the taterskins already in Dean Wormer land, on double-secret probation?
Not that I'm complaining. I always like it when a team tries to win and I'm all for giving Coach "Joe" what he wants. But I just wonder if he's really ready for this young man, Brandon Lloyd, who said of his troubles last year with his fellow 49ers, "They just weren't feeling my style." Hmmmm.
Oh, it is a brave new world, isn't it?

Paper champs, BM. Trading a first to a 6th and future consideration for a guy who can play is abominable.
Again, I say, what happened to "They deserve the benefit of the doubt?" Skins have been farg ups for years picking up every big name in FA. We downplay FA and have 5 years in a row of 11+ wins.
no one is saying the skins arent farg ups and they deserve huge laughter for their player personel dealings.....but at least they try...
if the eagles had done 1/10th in free agency what the skins have done over the last five years theyd have a superbowl
That's guesswork, and you know it. Luck plays just as much a role as anything in winning a SB. Just ask Norwood.
Luck plays just as much a role as anything in winning a SB
going out an adding lots of good players helps more than luck....its not like the eagles were 6-10...they were in four conference championships...adding two or three more very good players would have put them over the top in at least one of those years

you could look at it either way. They certainly dont try to build and semblance of chemistry through the building of a team in the draft.
yeah but we arent talking about the eagles building a team...we are talking about adding very good players to an already very good team to = a great team...we are talking about getting team from nfc championship to superbowl win...not from 5-11 to wild card
And it's impossible to think they believe they have the pieces to do it now. Sure, at WR and SAM it's hard to believe.....
But this FO has only made the quick splash with big dough for guys they felt were superstars at a position they needed help at. Runyan, TO, Kearse. Outside of Bentley, who was that exactly? And I'm guessing they felt they didn't need a center, that either Fraley or Jackson was the answer. We'll have to see if they're right. It's farging March people. Watch basketball.
Quote from: ice grillin you on March 15, 2006, 10:16:41 AM

1 playoff win in those same five years vs
6
right so if the eagles with their superior PP dept went out and was aggresive in FA every year as the skins are wouldnt you believe that the players the eagles got would help their team substantially more since they would make the right decisions
then maybe youd have:
1 SB win in those same five years vs 1 playoff win
Possible yes. Assured no.
GOD SPEAKS!QuotePosted on Wed, Mar. 15, 2006
Gibbs defends taterskins free agent approach
JOSEPH WHITE
Associated Press
ASHBURN, Va. - Joe Gibbs defended the Washington taterskins' aggressive approach to free agency on Wednesday, dismissing any implication that the team is somehow circumventing the NFL's salary cap.
"The thing I want to emphasize is this: We haven't done one thing that anybody else can't do," the taterskins' Hall of Fame coach said following a news conference to introduce free agent signing Andre Carter. "We have certain rules in the league. Here's the cap, here's the numbers, here's what you can spend, so everybody in the league can do what we're doing, it's just that they choose not to, many of them."
Despite starting the month some $13 million over the $102 million cap that was set following negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement, the taterskins have once again been one of March's busiest teams.
Since Saturday, they have traded for San Francisco receiver Brandon Lloyd and signed five unrestricted free agents: receiver Antwaan Randle El, safety Adam Archuleta, tight end Christian Fauria, backup quarterback Todd Collins and Carter. Randle El and Archuleta alone were given contracts with a combined $21.5 million in guaranteed money.
"Each team's a little different, how they want to build a team. ... Certainly Pittsburgh is a scheme that works, they won a Super Bowl," Gibbs said. "If you watch their team, there are a lot of draft choices, they're real conscious about that. It remains to be seen how we'll end up doing, but we've chosen to be more aggressive in free agency."
The taterskins put themselves under the cap by cutting five expendable players on the eve of free agency, and they also saved $4.4 million in the deal that made linebacker LaVar Arrington a free agent. Since then, they've been cutting cap dollars by renegotiating contracts with returning veterans, giving the players upfront bonuses that can be prorated for salary cap purposes.
Owner Dan Snyder's overspending in 2000 caused then-coach Marty Schottenheimer to make drastic cuts in 2001, but Snyder's strategy since then has been to map out a cap strategy using what Gibbs said were "three- to four-year spreadsheets." The goal is to shift cap money around in a coherent manner that keeps the team from being forced to part with players it wants to keep.
It hasn't worked perfectly - coveted linebacker Antonio Pierce left for the New York Giants last year - but Gibbs' free agency upgrades helped get the taterskins into the playoffs last year, and the overhaul continues. Only five projected 2006 starters were with the team before Gibbs arrived in January 2004.
The best free agent additions under Gibbs have been linebacker Marcus Washington, cornerback Shawn Springs, defensive tackle Cornelius Griffin and defensive end Phillip Daniels.
"People say, 'Why would you go get the free agents?'" Gibbs said. "Well, look at the guys we wouldn't have on our football team."
The taterskins are able to afford huge signing bonuses because Snyder's marketing savvy has helped make the team one of the most profitable in sports, but Gibbs downplayed the connection between Snyder's fortune and the team's free agency haul.
"The biggest misrepresentation there is that (it's because) Dan's got a lot of money. That's not it," Gibbs said. "We've got a rule. Believe me, if we had no rules, Dan would spend some money."
Laughable. Utterly laughable.

PFT TEN-PACK: FREE AGENCY WINNERS, LOSERS
Now that the first wave of free agency has thrown millions of new money into the pockets of plenty of players, let's take a time out and look at the biggest winners and biggest losers after five full days of activity.
First, the winners:
1. Antwaan Randle El: 35 catches in 2005. $11.5 million in bonus money in 2006. Should anyone be surprised when T.O. wants $18 million to sign?
2. Arizona Cardinals: Finally, the Bidwills realize that sometimes you've gotta spend money to make money.
3. Edgerrin James: He learned everything he knows about grabbing the most coin from Peyton Manning.
4. Miami Dolphins: Daunte Culpepper for a second-round pick? In 17 states, that constitutes rape.
5. Adam Archuleta: No offense intended, but if this guy can get $10 million in guaranteed coin, we've still got a chance to catch on somewhere for the league minimum.
6. Cleveland Browns: With John Collins counting beans somewhere other than in the team's front office, Phil Savage finally can put his imprint on the frnachise.
7. Uncle Sam: Perhaps the biggest winner in this process, the Internal Revenue Service scored millions in tax dollars after the CBA extension pushed the salary cap above nine figures.
8. Drew Brees: Though his contract is only a one-year arrangement, $10 million for a guy with a bad shoulder and a mixed track record ain't too shabby.
9. Jon Kitna: The former Bengals starter who was bumped out of a job by the No. 1 overall pick in 2003 gets a chance to start again after bumping out the No. 3 overall pick in 2002.
10: Steve Hutchinson: An interior offensive lineman gets a $49 million contract? What's next? $45 million for a kicker?
Now for the losers:
1. Indianapolis Colts: Edgerrin James, Larry Tripplett, and David Thornton are gone for good. Do you think Bill Polian might be having second thoughts about his decision to tie up so much money in his second and third receivers?
2. The Postons: They overpriced their clients who were hitting the market, and as a result none of them got a sniff when the money was flowing like liquid from an elephant with IBS. To add insult to ignorance, Carl is now facing a two-year unpaid vacation.
3. Washington taterskins: We suggest that Dan Snyder satisfy his insatiable hunger for collecting NFL players at an unjustifiable premium by searching for McFarlane figures on eBay. :-D
4. Jamal Lewis: The guy who pouted for a couple of years regarding the lack of a long-term, blockbuster deal stays in Baltimore for what amounts to a one-year, $6 million contract.
5. Oakland Raiders: To address the various holes in its roster, the Raiders have done . . . absolutely freakin' nothing.
6. Kris Jenkins: With Damione Lewis and Maake Kemoeatu added to the rotation at defensive tackle, Jenkins' days as a Panther could be numbered.
7. Green Bay Packers: All that cap space, and no significant additions. To make matters worse, Lord Favre is now trying to play G.M.
8. Eric Moulds: By sitting on his rights when everyone knows they'll eventually cut him, the Bills blocked Moulds' shot at getting one last solid payday.
9. New York Giants: First they let Kendrick Clancy slip away. Then they sign every washed up defensive back that's on the market.
10. Jon Runyan: The guy decides to take a vacation to the Caymans at a time when NFL teams are working overtime to give money away. Who's he getting advice from, Ross Verba?
oh noes! pft says the taterskins are losers! whatever shall we do!
:-D Eagle fans are becoming worse than the taterskin fans they laugh at :-D

Here's what you can do:
1. Accept the fact that you are a taterskins fan, and yes, this makes you a loser.
2. Throw yourself down a flight of metal stairs.
3. Drink a bottle of Drano.
4. Take a nap.
The bottom line is that the taterskins moved decisively and aggressively to get the players they wanted. Now, if only they had a front office that could actually evaluate talent, they might have really shocked us and picked up some actual difference-makers.
The cap doesn't apply to the taterskins so why should we care how much players get?
exactly...the money isnt the issue...its will those players help the team...archuletta wont and at that money its definitely a laughingstock move
randel el and lloyd should help but we wont know until next year to see if the skins win at least two playoff games

That's pretty accurate. Dan Snyder has hypnotized taterskin & non-taterskin fans alike by flashing them a shiny gold coin & making them believe that got $100M worth of talent for all the money he laid out. Everyone is so dazed by the money he spent, they fail to realize that the players that they acquired are the talent equivalent of half the money.
Paying $5000 for a fake Rolex, doesn't make it a real one.
Snyder used the cash equivalent of a stun gun so that he could reach behind the taterskin fans & pull more money out of them for parking & tickets.
Even so, the Giants DB signings have been even worse.

Todd Collins in the same breath as Tom Brady?!?!? :-D
If Todd Collins starts for Washington it would be downright hilarious.
Washington = shtein for QBs
QuoteEver get the feeling our coaching staff listens to us rant here on the discussion boards? I mean, think about it. First, we address the WR issue we all thought was the most important thing to address. Then the second thing we all thought was important, judging by the threads here, the Defensive End issue. Now, Gibbs is saying up next for some taterskin focusing are the Offensive Line depth issues. Some dude just the other day was talking about how important he felt that was, even putting forth the argument that it was more important than our WR issues setting up quite a debate
Washington fans = Joe Gibbs' advisors

I believe it has some credence. Vinny Cerrato's job is to see what the fans want and go get it.
They don't listen to the fans, they ARE fans. Snyder runs that team as though he was a 19-year old DTC member. He's a life-long skins fan and can't help but go get every name that he ever wanted to be on his team.

I don't care enough to find the actual post on ES but there was a Skins poster over there who had a signature with an animated gif of Calvin pissing on the Cowboys star, only Gibbs head was photoshopped on it.
One of the lead ES propagandists told him that Joe Gibbs himself saw that picture and "was not at all pleased". I never saw that sig since.
:-D :-D
So Coach Joe does read ES!
"Hey, Dan. This poster on ES named Art says we should sign Reno Mahe to a contract"
"Ok. Fire up taterskin One."

Joe Bendel, of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, reports the Washington taterskins might have interest in restricted free agent CB Ike Taylor (Steelers). The Steelers offered Taylor a $1.55 million tender, meaning any team that signs him would have to give a first-round draft choice as compensation if the Steelers let him go.

In that case, they'd be nice and agree to just take the 2nd rounder and whatever other picks the taterskins have left this year, rather than pilfer that 1st rounder next year. They wouldn't want to hurt Saint Joe.
anything that joe touches turns to gold, so why not take a 7th?

We too have a website and a message board similar to yours, but I never post on it because talking shtein over the computer is for Hoydas. But since some of you had mentioned coming to the game I thought I would clear up some rumors. Whoever thought that they could park next to us and talk smack, well guess what you won't park with in 900 feet of me or any one in the DTC. Since you guys are from Philly I'll do the math for you. That is three football fields. Don't get it twisted we run that lot. If we don't like you we will remove. If don't go peacefully then FED EX security will remove you. Now you can fight them but then the police will remove you. Since half of you have been to jail that's probably not a big deal. Now I will invite any of you to walk...let me say that again WALK down to F51 to talk smack because I will need some to ridicule for 5 hours so it might as well be you bitches!
Wow. That dude has issues. Plus, apparently, he wanted someone to come down there and stick their dick in his mouth.

No more blank, wondering stares, confused head scratching, frothing emotional outbursts, conspiracy theories or embarrassing, dismissive references to 2000.

It's time to embrace the reality of it all. Simply, we're better than you.
That's it. Look no further. We are better than you. We're more fun. It feels better to be us. We've got flair. We're audacious, capricious, bodacious, supercalifragilisticxpalidocious

Oh, and this too:
QuoteSay you're a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. You always have all those many millions available, which somehow never seem to get spent. All week you're hearing how you have LeCharles Bentley locked up as your free agent masterstroke to solidify your offensive line.
You are giddy. You're thrilled. You know this is the guy you need. He fills a need and makes it a strength. You're excited about the prospects of adding such a substantial piece. Then, the Cleveland Browns call, offer a few more bucks to Bentley and Bentley winds up in Cleveland leaving you with nothing more than whimpering excuses that Bentley is from Cleveland and always wanted to play there.
Oh, hush.
What a full blown cocksmoker.

That article instigated a circle jerk of ginormous proportions. Cute.
The only problem is that the taterskins only paid top dollar for free agents. They didn't actually get any top players. Carter has some upside, but is really no better than a poor man's Jevon Kearse. And we know how Kearse has been doing. Archuleta stinks and I'm glad he'll be in their defensive backfield. Lloyd? Ha! Makes the great plays, but sleeps on the routine ones. And Randle El? How about this...

Considering that Randle El is unquestionably their top FA acquisition this year and they spent a lot of money to get him, the numbers Jabar farging Gaffney put up on a God-awful Texans team are pretty damn similar. Who's the better wide receiver? Might it just be that Antwaan Randle-El is a tad overhyped due to the occasional trick play, but he's really not an exceptional pass catcher? Shocking.
Well, the one Eagle fan over there who goes toe to toe with Art (WB36) pointed that out, FF. And he was told he was nuts for comparing Gaffney to ARE because ARE runs the ball and throws the ball and returns the ball. The rushing, throwing and returning explains perfectly why he secured an $11.5M SB and a $31M contract.

Your subtle forms of antagonism would go over well there, you should log in. You need to seek the one called "TR1", he's a smarmy bitch.
IGY: It was easier for them to upgrade because their depth at the position was so God awful.
Santana Moss is obviously an excellent player, but they had NO ONE behind him.
Say what you want about Pinkston being skinny or not going down the middle, but the Eagles missed his ability to stretch the field last year. Gaffney (who might be about on Pinkston's overall level, but is a wholly different style of player) is a solid addition and is an obvious improvement over Lewis and McMullen.
The taterskins upgraded their depth, and the Eagles upgraded their depth. No top-end talent was added.

Who was the Seahawks #1 last year? I'd say their passing game was more than efficient with a bunch of #2 and #3 receivers.
the seahawks run the ball and have the best rb in the nfl...if the eagles did that i wouldnt have a problem with their wr's...but they dont they are a pass all the time team who doesnt have any wr's

We also have a better QB.

The fact that they run the ball efficiently helps their passing attack but also shows that you don't necessarily need a legit #1 to talk about depth.

And I definetly agree, but I think it supports my arguement that you don't need a true #1 to say you have 'depth'.
You may not necessarily need a #1, but if you don't have one, you had better have a very effective running game. The Eagles do not. They probably could, but they don't bother trying. And since that's the case, they need a #1. Maybe Brown will become that guy, but he isn't yet.

That's fine, but that's not the subject of the debate, the subject is whether you can talk about 'depth' without a true #1. I say you can.

= Alexander/Hassleback
as better as mcnabb is to baldy hasslebeck...alexander trumps westbrook by the same amount.
I would say that the difference between Alexander and Westbrook is about 10 times as large as the difference between McNabb and Hasselbeck.

if alexander could catch and keep his fumbling down (not that it plagues him, but compared to westbrook, westbrook has 6 career fumbles to alexanders 23 - 2 year longer career though) i would agree. but alexander is borderline useless as a reciever compared to westbrook.
Without looking up his stats, doesn't alexander average over 40 catches a year? I'd hardly call that useless.
its about 30 catches a year. 31 or 32.
and i am strictly comparing him to westbrooks catches. which is why i say the QB/RB tandems are equal between the birds and the seabirds.... not an overall assesment. because for a player like him, he's no where near a liability to any team he would be playing on.
Where does the Brunell/Portis tandem fit into this mix?
Wingspan, this is where I hate this kind of comparison. If Alexander runs for 1000 more yards than Westbrook, scores 10 more TDs but has 30 less catches with 300 less yards does that somehow make them or close to it? Not remotely. A RB catching a bunch of passes but rushing inconsistently at best doesn't even begin to approximate a RB who rushes for 1600, 1700 or 1800 yards with 15-25 TDs. Even if the 1700 yard back only catches 30 passes. The two aren't even comparable.
McNabb and Hasselbeck ARE comparable. 20-30 TDs. 3000-4000 yards. McNabb adds the ability to evade the rush, but put him behind Seattle's line and he wouldn't have to do that as much. McNabb is far more talented, but their abilities as QBs aren't that far apart. Certainly not as far apart as Westbrook's and Alexander's.
and we are comparing westbrook to alexander why??
i realize they are different
but alexander>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>westbrook
and unlike rjs i love 36
hey man, i love westbrook when they use him correctly. Mixed into the offense as a weapon, catching passes, running occasionally, returning kicks... as a feature back, he's useless.

And the even funnier thing about it is Gibbs will give him about 6-9 games and then he'll bury Campbell the whole time just like he did Ramsey.
And then they'll bet the farm on another crap-ass QB. Rinse. Repeat.
back to the basics:
mark schlereth makes me sick topic:
QuoteI was just watching ESPN news and he is talking about how since the Cowboys signed T.O they are the best team pound for pound in the NFC east. He did say the taterskins improved greatly during this offseason, but it seems like he isnt a taterskins fan the way he was talking.
he doesnt think the taterskins are the bestest team evaaaar therefore he is a moron
QuoteWhat job do I love? I don't work for the taterskins or Dan Snyder. If it makes you feel better to assume I can appreciate what a fine owner he is and so doing must mean I work for him, that's your fatal flaw, not mine. At no point did I suggest he has been a perfect owner. No owner is perfect. He is, however, the best owner there is because he embodies EXACTLY what an owner should be.
He provides for his organization at a level no one else can compete with -- or more, that no one else has chosen to compete with.
Now, I don't hold it against him he fired people who couldn't use a computer when he came on board in 1999. In fact, I'm pretty sure all of us would have walked in to taterskins Park back then and been astounded that there were two computers in the building and the organization was in such a shambles.
Snyder fixed that, making taterskins Park a technological marvel and hiring the types of people qualified to do that. That's good ownership, even if it hurts a few people he fired. On top of that, many of these people in very key positions had a DIRECT line to the press. You can trace the lineage of some of our problems with the media to the initial termination of just about every close contact developed by reporters at the Park over the years.
The free agency period of 2000 is most routinely used to diminish Snyder in some way, largely because people are factually inaccurate about how they portray it. Like you here. The 6-2 taterskins of 2000 didn't appear to be splintered, right? The defense that ranked 30th the year before improved to fourth in 2000 as a direct reflection of the offseason, yet, you'd consider this a flaw? Only when we had injuries on offense and some guys turned out to have had CAREER years the previous year on offense did we begin to fail. The moves themselves were very successful in doing exactly what they were supposed to do.
The reason Marty was let go was the public, joint statement that he wouldn't relinquish his GM duties, but, since Marty didn't actually HAVE GM duties, he merely assumed them and Snyder allowed it for a year, tells you the real reason was Jimmy Raye and terrible coaching by Marty. Had Marty agreed to hire a competent offensive mind he'd probably STILL be here. That Marty ONLY got that team to respond to him by largely uniting it behind a hatred of him also was a poor reflection on the future. That team would have had to be destroyed to ultimately succeed for Marty because most of them hated him and instead of breaking them, he caved to them and played to that hatred.
Ultimately though, an owner is judged by the intelligence behind his decisions at the time they are made. Spurrier was a great hire that would have been made by any owner. Marty was a good hire. Gibbs was a good hire. If Gibbs fails, it won't be because Snyder made a mistake. It'll be because Gibbs was unable to get the job done. And, if Gibbs is successful, it will be because Gibbs was successful.
All the owner can do within that is to provide for his football people and give them what they tell him they need. Snyder does that like NO other. We get EXACTLY what we want. If there's a mistake in what we want, the blame is on the people making the decision as to who we want, not on the owner who allows the money to make such moves happen.

Quotetaterskins | Team has not reached a new deal with B. Lloyd
Mon, 20 Mar 2006 21:05:43 -0800
Howard Bryant, of the Washington Post, reports the Washington taterskins have not come to terms on a new contract with newly acquired WR Brandon Lloyd. Lloyd is under contract to play this season at his tendered salary of $1.57 million, but without a new deal would be a free agent at the end of the season.
If they for some reason traded two picks for that dude to rent him for one year I would laugh pretty goddamned hard.
Danny boy will give him a $10M SB soon enough.

Spadaro said he's hearing "scuttlebutt" that Sean Taylor will have to serve *significant* jail time.
Too good to be true? Probably, but... we can still pray.
:evil :evil :evil
I like having him on the field against the Eagles b/c I think he sucks. But I'd prefer for him to be in jail and watch ES and the entire taterskins bandwagon selfdestruct.

For sure it is. But I'd love to see it happen.
Yo, yo, yo...what are you guys talking about?
Even if Loogie goes to the clink they have the best and most expensive (dude, hes totally worth it) safety in Adam Archuleta!
I hope that farg does go to jail.
Will Art send him a carepackage of beef jerkey, chocolate chip cookies and pics of himself in a Skins dominatrix outfit with clothespins on his balls?

holy shtein that would be incredible...but good god spads shut the hell up...you are getting no inside info as to whether taylor will spend time in jail...hes not pleaing to time and the trial is still weeks away
btw rjs you may hate hime as do i...but sean taylor does not suck...im sure ill get murdered for saying this but hes better right now than brian dawkins ever was and he has the potential to go down as the best all time nfl safety...hes really that good
I disagree since I don't think he can cover, but I do recognize his ridiculous physical ability. If he would not take himself out of the occasional play by going for the monster hit, I'd agree with you.
Sean just called me and asked me if it's OK to take his johnson out of your mouth, IGY.
And no one can tape up a facemask like him either. He's great at that. And hocking big ol' chunks of snot at guys.

4. Washington: The taterskins were saved from salary-cap hell by the new CBA extension, which freed up another $7 million-plus of cap space, allowing them to avoid having to dismantle their roster. So what do they do? Rush right out and get themselves mortgaged back up to the gills, tossing out a staggering $31.8 million, six-year contract to the Rams' Adam Archuleta, making him the richest safety in NFL history.
Receiver Antwaan Randle El and linebacker Andre Carter also got hefty deals, and Washington opted to send both a third- and fourth-round pick to San Francisco in exchange for inconsistent receiver Brandon Lloyd. Even reserve tight end Fauria and backup quarterback Todd Collins got in on the money train.
The taterskins' set-the-market contracts are bound to catch up to them one day. My guess is it'll be after head coach Joe Gibbs calls it a career for a second time, in a year or two.
the media hates the skins. they are out to get them. wah wah wah wah

It's really not that crazy of an argument, but I disagree as well. While his freakish ability definitely gives him a physical advantage over Dawk right now... I agree with rjs in that his coverage abilities leave a good deal to be desired... all things equal, Dawkins is still a better all around safety IMO. Also, Taylor to this point has shown the exact opposite of the focus he needs to turn that physical ability into a career that would put him up with or at the top of the best safeties of all time.

Some idiot over there said Aaron Brooks is in town for a visit. Despite the fact that it's not true, all the homers have convinced themselves that getting another QB would be a great move. Art said he would be "ecstatic."

Let's just sign an expensive 4th QB in case one of crappy 3 get hurt! Who cares about other needs and the draft!
I hope they do sign Brooks.
For real.

Go swallow the business end of of shotgun.
Dan Snyder = 2 playoff wins in his career as a Fantasy Football owner. TWO.
the best part about the taterskins is that most of the actual fans, real fans, can't even afford to go to a skins game.
even when i float a loan to attend a game,i know i can take the family and not hear a bunch of drunkin ,moronic,idiots cursing and fighting about who should be playing,c buckhalter or r mahre(insert your own joke here)
yeah FedEx is a model of civility.

there has never been a single incident of taterskins fans acting out. every single one of them epitimize class and respect in the stands.
on the flip side, eagles fans are awful. they all throw snow balls at santa, create a violent and unsafe atmosphere in their stadium and often carry d cell batteries with them to the games.

Here's the transcript from Show 134 of weekly Outside The Lines - Enemy Colors and Addicted to Sports
SUN., OCT. 20, 2002
Host: Bob Ley
Reported by: Mark Schwarz, ESPN and Tom Rinaldi, ESPN.
Guests: Dr. Joel Fish, sports psychologist; Jody McDonald, host, WFAN Radio, New York.
BOB LEY, HOST- October 20, 2002. Fan passion can turn violent. For one fan, wearing a visiting team's jersey nearly got him killed.
ED ALLEN, WORE EAGLES JERSEY TO EAGLES/taterskinS GAME- Apparently, the same guy who knocked me down pretty much grabbed me by the shirt, as I was unconscious, and beat on my face.
BUTCH BUCHANICO, DIRECTOR OF SECURITY, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES- You do take some risk, all right, walking into a venue with another team's jersey.
FAN WATCHING HOME VIDEO- Oh, no! Play man-to-man coverage!
LEY- Also this week, the point where a fan crosses over from dedicated to addicted.
CHRIS STOLZE, SPORTS FAN- Sports impacts my entire life.
KRISTAN BUSCH, CHRIS'S GIRLFRIEND- I always felt second to sports.
TOM RINALDI, OUTSIDE THE LINES- Is she second to sports?
STOLZE- At times, yes.
LEY- Today on Outside The Lines - When are fans actually addicted to sports? And the dangers of wearing enemy colors.
If you're a fan, you may find what we're about to report this morning to be disturbing and provocative. And for some, it could raise the question of whether they're watching televised images or looking into a mirror. We begin with an incident that, on its face, seems as if from a distant international dateline. This sort of thing, Americans believe, happens over there at soccer matches. Except the story you will hear this morning, just like this violent moment, occurred at an NFL game. And it can be sparked by a simple jersey.
No piece of sporting apparel is more popular than NFL jerseys. Fans by the authentic version for $250 each and wear them proudly to games, even on the road, even when that jersey represents enemy colors. That decision nearly cost one fan his life. Mark Schwarz has his story.
ALLEN- We had a good time. You know, the game was fun, the Eagles won big and, you know, the night turned bad in a hurry.
MARK SCHWARZ, OUTSIDE THE LINES- Ed Allen can't help but wonder what he could have done differently. Surely none of this would have happened had he not rearranged his morning schedule as a personal trainer in order to attend a Monday Night Football game. Surely he could have prevented it had he not stopped on his way from Philly to D.C. to pick up a new Eagles jersey, something to wear proudly at FedEx Field to show taterskins fans where his heart was.
ALLEN- And we just thought, you know, everybody was going to know we were Eagles fans. You know, that was the point.
SCHWARZ- And maybe, just maybe, had he and his three friends -- Matt Brown, John Chynoweth and Chris Soto -- all wearing Eagles jerseys, not headed for the exit mid-way through the fourth quarter, he could have avoided what they say happened next.
As they started down the exit ramp, Matt lagged behind them. A woman alerted the other three that their friend was surrounded by a group of fans wearing taterskins jerseys.
MATT BROWN, ATTENDED EAGLES/taterskinS GAME WITH ED ALLEN- And one gentleman pushed me, pushed him back, and at that point, just chaos pretty much came about.
JOHN CHYNOWETH, ATTENDED EAGLES/taterskinS GAME WITH ED ALLEN- We all got there and started trying to break things up, and Ed was to my left, and I saw him get tackled from the side and fall over onto his back and basically hit his head, bounced off the ground. It was a pretty hard hit. It kind of sounded like an eggshell breaking.
ALLEN- Apparently, the same guy who knocked me down pretty much grabbed me by the shirt, as I was unconscious, and just beat on my face.
SCHWARZ- Moments later, taterskins fan Carl Sears decided to leave the game with his 14-year-old son.
CARL SEARS, WITNESS- We walked about 50 yards down the ramp, and we came across a guy who was totally flat out and unconscious on the concrete. And I initially thought he was a taterskins fan because he had a basically white jersey, but he was covered in blood. And that's why I thought he was a taterskins fan.
CHYNOWETH- Somebody was holding his neck for him so we could turn him over onto his side because the blood seemed to be running back down his throat, so he was having a hard time breathing at this point.
SEARS- It appeared to me that his head had been smashed on the concrete because his head was completely split open. He was covered in blood. And I really did -- I was fearful that it could have been a brain hemorrhage, or I was concerned for his very life.
SCHWARZ- Allen suffered several fractures to his face, requiring three hours of facial reconstructive surgery. Two titanium plates were inserted below his eyes, and his broken jaw was wired shut. Since the incident, Allen has lost 20 pounds and endured short-term memory loss. Dr. Eric Marchant, who performed the surgery, says that with just a few more punches, Allen's injuries could have been even worse.
DR. ERIC MARCHANT, PERFORMED RECONSTRUCTIVE FACIAL SURGERY ON ED ALLEN- And anything could have happened. I mean, he could have been more seriously injured -- I mean, serious brain damage, more than just a concussion but permanent brain injury, death.
SCHWARZ- Allen's mother, Pat, was forced to feed her 26-year-old son baby food. She maintains Ed did nothing wrong. He simply wore an Eagles jersey to a taterskins game in Washington.
PAT ALLEN, ED ALLEN'S MOTHER- Why wouldn't he wear the team that he loves? That's what he's loved since he's a little boy. He's a Philadelphia sports fan all the way
Yup, Skins fans sure do have a right to talk. 4 on 1 and beating an already uncounscious man is mighty brave.

Why don't you read the article, dipshtein, it was 3 on 1 and they cheap shotted him. Only thing he did wrong was drifting apart from his crowd. Next I guess you're going to tell me that DTC is the epitome of 'class'.
yup,and im sure that the eagle fans said and did nothing to initiate this during the game.last year the were eagle fans that got into taterskins fans faces for at least half the game until the man stood up and told them he was ready to fight.then they all got a good laugh out of him and left him alone.let me ask all eagle fans something,would you be comfortable taking a related toddler to an eagle game?i didnt think so
Security Pepper sprays them Skins fans.
you and you eagle fans are above getting in any cheap shots.ive yet to be at a philly sports event were a fight DIDNT break out.i have been to plenty at fed ex
Who the farg spends $100 on taking a toddler to a football game? Rich, snooty douches. Not real football fans. Real football fans have passion and display it. They don't sit quietly in their ridiculously expensive seats and cower in fear as the real fans get emotional. taterskins fans are a farging joke. they use their spinelessness as a reason to call Eagles fans animals. The fact is they are soft, 'bitchmade', rich folk who wouldn't understand passion about a sport if it was kicking them in the groin.

link? You know... to prove that you're not entirely talking out of your ass?
since when does passion for your team imply that every time the opposition does something good,it needs to be addressed with vulgaritities and violence?i guarantee my passion for the taterskins is at least equal to your passion for the birds,but just because i dont throw something at someone,or shout profanities at them,or physically challenge them doesnt mean i like the skins any less.quit using the eagles as an excuse for bad behavior
If your "passion" doesn't drive you to violence, it's weak.
If your "passion" can only inspire you to use tired, worn out cliched insults to try and talk shtein to opposing fans on a message board, it's weak. It also mean that you are an unoriginal, uninteresting douche.
right in the teeth

I hate TO now but those guys are ridiculous
QuoteMoss is way better then Owens. Look at what Moss did vs the Seahawks in the playoffs. Tripple teams, rain , no running game and still put up 100 yards with a TD. The best recievers in the NFL are Moss and Steve Smith.
Look at what Moss did. Took a 6 - 10 team to 10-6 . And the 10 -6 yr was with one of the toughest schedules
TO did nothing. With the 9ers or Eagles.
QuoteOwens did not take Philli to the super bowl. That is something ESPN will want you to think. He got hurt in the reg season and did not even play until the super bowl. The Eagles would of had home feild without him. He is not a difference maker.
:-D
I should shut up over there before they get me with their 2nd round playoff kings comeback.

Mon, 27 Mar 2006 08:58:38 -0800
Jason La Canfora, of the Washington Post, reports Washington taterskins S Sean Taylor will not take part in the team's offseason workout program until his felony assault charges are resolved. Taylor is scheduled to be on trial April 10 in Miami for attempted assault with a firearm.
Ha. That's two years straight he voluntarily "missed" the offseason workouts. Hope he lands in the klinker for awhile. shteinbag.

Check out some of the posts by BrunellSuperbowl
I hate TO now but those guys are ridiculous
QuoteMoss is way better then Owens. Look at what Moss did vs the Seahawks in the playoffs. Tripple teams, rain , no running game and still put up 100 yards with a TD. The best recievers in the NFL are Moss and Steve Smith.
Look at what Moss did. Took a 6 - 10 team to 10-6 . And the 10 -6 yr was with one of the toughest schedules
TO did nothing. With the 9ers or Eagles.
QuoteOwens did not take Philli to the super bowl. That is something ESPN will want you to think. He got hurt in the reg season and did not even play until the super bowl. The Eagles would of had home feild without him. He is not a difference maker.
:-D
someone get that clown a spellcheck.

now that they're the official site of the taterskins, you could probably manage to get them to trade the eagles a draft pick in exchange for you leaving.

Ryan O'Halloran, of the Washington Times, reports Washington taterskins RB Clinton Portis said Monday, March 27, he tried to convince RB Edgerrin James to sign with the taterskins. "I kept calling E.J. to come up here, and we would have had one of the most dangerous backfields ever," he said. "Bo Jackson and Marcus Allen co-existed. I told him to sign for less money, and he wouldn't have to do as much work. We would have run into the record books."

Although the fact that Carmella is basically attainable since she's no more than a front for Garthia definitely carries some weight.

Portis is undoubtedly MORE effective without being made into a workhorse. Gibbs does not play to his strengths.

Running man
Asked yesterday how much he plans to run the ball now that he's running his own ship in Minnesota, Brad Childress said, "About 60 times a game." The former Eagles offensive coordinator was joking, of course. But he said he likely will run more than his mentor, Andy Reid. "I think you have to run it a lot in this division," Childress said, referring to the NFC North. "That's how we've set up the offensive line. You've got to let those guys pound on people for a while before you ask them to step back [and pass-protect]. Take [the defensive players] and shake them. Knock them around and kind of take their will away a little bit."
What in the hell does that have to do with the taterskins?

Most people hate the Cowboys the most, but the most anyone ever says about them is 'farg Dallas' with the occasional 'They Are Criminals' line. Making fun of the taterskins is a much richer, more rewarding passtime. There's simply so much to work with.

Quotewent to the Orioles game today and I happened to sit a few rows over from Tampa Bay Running Back Mike Alstott. He was totally drunk and was ridiculing fans for dropping foul balls. Eventually i got sick of it and started bad mothing him back recalling all the muffs the bucs had in the playoff game versus the skins. He shut up the rest of game and rest of my section then got on him as well, so I guess a lot of Baltimorons aren't as dumb as i thought.
I wish Mike Alstott would've kicked this Romes teeth in. Now the doosh thinks he is the sole reason Alstott shut up. Hell, it probably wasn't even Mike Alstott.

QuoteJudge denies motion to dismiss charges against Sean Taylor
BY SUSANNAH NESMITH
snesmith@MiamiHerald.com
Circuit Judge Mary Barzee denied a defense motion to dismiss charges against Washington taterskins player Sean Taylor, whose trial is scheduled for next week.
Attorneys for the former University of Miami star argued that the aggravated assault charges should be dropped because they claimed Miami-Dade prosecutor Michael Grieco failed to tell them that several of the alleged victims and witnesses had been arrested in unrelated cases.
Taylor was arrested last June in south Miami-Dade on charges he pointed a gun at three men he believed had stolen an all-terrain vehicle from one of his friends.
His trial is slated to begin Monday.

And don't sleep on Todd Collins, a solid veteran QB who will undoubtedly turn Jason Campbell into the best quarterback in the history of the game.

I should add that I have decided from now on to never properly capitalize the team name of the football team from D.C. Landover. "Deadskins" and "Foreskins" are played out, so a subtle jab at them being nothing special by never giving them the capitalization they deserve will work out better for everyone.

I'm still scratching my ass over why they chose to match them up against the Vikes. It makes no sense. An embarassing loss against them though would go a long way towards a longer, firmer erection.

QuoteI believe I started a thread in January 2005 outlining my belief Snyder is the BEST owner in ALL of sports at the moment. An owner's job is to hire people who have the credentials to be excellent football guys for you, and to provide them with what they require to win. Unfortunately Snyder did his job when Marty and Spurrier didn't. Some people still foolishly attempt to place a win-loss record on an owner when it belongs to a coach.
Snyder does what all fans would hope their owner would do. He provides what his people tell him they require to win. As long as he does that no one has an owner as fine. He's the best there is

taterskins personnel chief Cerrato receives contract extension
April 14, 2006
By Clark Judge
CBS SportsLine.com Senior Writer
Shortly after reaching the playoffs for the first time since 1999, the Washington taterskins rewarded Vinny Cerrato -- the team's vice president in charge of football operations -- with a two-year extension, league sources said Friday.
The move was made at the NFL's scouting combine in February but has not been announced by the club. Cerrato, who first joined the taterskins in '99, had his contract extended to March 2008, sources said.
Cerrato was unavailable for comment.
The extension, sources said, is an indication of how much Cerrato is valued by owner Daniel Snyder and of how well he works with coach Joe Gibbs. When Gibbs rejoined the taterskins in '04, some league observers assumed he would force out Cerrato, but it never happened. Instead, the two meshed easily, insiders said, and quickly gained an understanding and appreciation for each other.
Cerrato and Gibbs confer on personnel decisions before the club makes a move, and the taterskins made plenty of them in free agency, signing players like Adam Archuleta, Andre Carter, Antwaan Randle El and Todd Collins as well as swinging a deal for wide receiver Brandon Lloyd.
Lloyd was acquired from San Francisco, a club Cerrato should know well. He served as the 49ers' director of college scouting and player personnel director in the 1990s and helped in drafting players like Dana Stubblefield, Ricky Watters, Ted Washington and Bryant Young.
In fact, it was Cerrato who uncovered Terrell Owens in the third round of the '96 draft -- predicting greatness for the guy long before he was named to his first Pro Bowl.
Cerrato was a favorite target of Bay Area critics, who never tired of poking at him for his choice of quarterback Jim Druckenmiller in the first round of the '97 draft. But they forgot to mention that it was Cerrato who helped the club maneuver to take Young in the first round of the '94 draft -- a lottery where he found Pro Bowl linebacker Lee Woodall in the sixth round.
It was also Cerrato who found safety Lance Schulters in the fourth round of the '98 draft. Schulters, an unrestricted free agent who played last year with Miami, was a Pro Bowl starter.
Cerrato helped find three more Pro Bowlers in the '98 draft -- defensive back R.W. McQuarters, now with the New York Giants; fullback Fred Beasley from Miami; and center Jeremy Newberry.
Cerrato was hired by Washington in '99 and in his first two years he was instrumental in the team's acquisitions of Deion Sanders, Bruce Smith, Irving Fryar and Mark Carrier. Fired when Marty Schottenheimer took over as head coach in 2001, Cerrato returned a year later as the team's director of player personnel and was named vice president of football operations a year later.
As long as this clown has a job.....we'll be able to keep pointing and laughing the taterskins.
I like how they point to his draft prowess with the 49ers. Nice to see that the thing he's best at is what he barely even has to think about anymore, as he works for a team that prefers to trade their draft picks away.
For Jason Campbell. :-D
more on how the skins are beasts on all things cap. Like what was said about brunell before he restructured, he was never going to see the money we spent on him. The only question is why do players agree to this?? It must some kind of pride issue or they are crazy enough to think that we are going to keep them for all those years.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/peter_king/04/17/mmqb.0417/index.html
2. Now we know how the taterskins play Houdini with the cap every year.
I hear it every winter -- from editors, readers, people in line at Starbucks. (True story: I got asked at an Orlando Starbucks during the league meetings how the taterskins were able to sign 10 guys to gigantic contracts every year.) The answer: They don't. It's 70 percent funny money. Take the case of linebacker Andre Carter, signed to a reported seven-year, $32.5 million contract on March 15. It's more accurately a one-year, $5.85 million deal, or a two-year, $10.18 million contract, or a three-year, $13.5 million deal. See, the taterskins sign players to long deals, but the contracts are back-loaded, meaning the players would get most of the money in the final years of the contracts, if they get the money at all. And if Carter turns out to be the defensive force the taterskins hope he'll be, they'll almost certainly let him play the first two years, then re-do the deal before the fat money kicks in. Specifically, in Carter's case, he has two major slices of money he may never see: $13.4 million, combined, in five separate roster bonuses to be earned if he's on the roster in 2008, '09, '10, '11 and '12; and salaries totaling $8.9 million between 2008 and 2012. Collectively, that's $22.3 million of $32 million he may never see. Now the other question you have is this: Won't the taterskins get killed on the salary cap if they release Carter after, say, two years? The answer is not really, because the only part of his contract that's guaranteed is the signing bonus, which is $5 million.

Like gibbs says, all teams can do what the skins are doing. They just choose not to.
Please o please remind me when cap hell hits.
I'm glad it's workin' out so well for you guys. That Superbowl Division playoff win was huuuuge.
I was looking back at some old draft info and came across this:
With the 4th pick of the 1992 draft, the taterskins choose: WR Desmond Howard, Michigan
With the 3rd pick of the 1994 draft, the taterskins choose: QB Heath Schuler, Tennessee
With the 4th pick of the 1995 draft, the taterskins choose: WR Michael Westbrook, Colorado
That's just quality drafting right there.

It's amazing you're still talking about this when no one else here has since the new deal went into place. I guess that makes sense since the draft is not a particularly high point for Skins fans.
We're supposed to have been unaware that the skins are actually severely backloading their deals and that the players never see a lot of the money in their contract? Um... ok. I don't think there's one Eagles fan that didn't already know that. I find it really funny that you skins fans think it's some sort of revelation.
Wow.. and this "revolutionary" way of managing the salary cap has brought you 1 winning season this century. Nice.

So, how do you feel about Cerrato getting an extension? Has Snyder put electronics under Vinny's skin and in his throat so he can use a universal remote to control him, or does he go old school and just stuff his johnson right up in there and use puppetry of the penis? Is Al Saunders going to do the same thing with Saint Joe G?

Never been a fan of Cerrato. He takes credit for Casserly's work with regard to the 2000 draft. Maybe he has something on Snyder. I have heard he has a good work ethic, but who really gives a farg.
Saunders won't do the same thing with Gibbs. Gibbs will give him freedom to tweak the system as he sees fit. Hell, you saw that last year when Gibbs let Musgrave implement the shotgun. I imagine Gibbs will still have the final say as head coach, but you don't bring someone like Saunders in to let him be a puppet. It's fun to make fun of Gibbs and all, but he's a good motivator, and he gives his employees accountability. Most people like working for someone like that.
I was saying that Gibbs is going to be a puppet of Saunders, not vice versa.

I'm not sure why you all think this will happen. It's never happened with Gibbs before.
I don't think it will be a problem. Gibbs - Saunders won't be anything like Reid - Childress. Saunders will have autonomy, but he won't have final say. At least that's how Gibbs did it everywhere else.
Yeah, but Gibbs is old and one bad season away from re-focusing on race cars.
This is not the same Gibbs from the 80's and early 90's.

But his managerial style is the same. He did the same with his race teams. I can't see it changing.
He does look healthier than his first go around. He looked tired a few times last year, but no more than a lot of head coaches. If you remember when he left, he was bloated and tired all the time. He doesn't look like that.
Hell, Vermeil is 4 years older, and he's just getting out.

QuoteNow that Lavar is gone and thank god this can finaly all come to an end.. He was our friend and we all wanted him here but now that he's crossed to enemy lines...he's good as dirt to us...
But here is the question to my post.... Does anyone think the skins should make a trade to move up into this years draft and go after A.J Hawk.. This kid is a stud and he would help out our Defense tremendously... What do you guys think?
Nehemiah Broughton, Mark Brunell and a 6th round pick to trade up!
He was their friend. That's nice.
as much as i hate the skins and portis, i listened to an interview with him last week on a dc morning sports show (sports junkies) and it was funny as shtein. he started out saying that he would only talk x-rated. you can hear it here if you're interested.
http://1067freefm.com/pages/1345.php
So while the other 31 teams are stressing this week and pouring over draft boards and other draft related stuff, what is going on at taterskins Park?
a. Nothing. They are all on vacation. Draft? What's that?
b. The great talent evaluators are hard at work to find some hidden gems with their few picks.
c. King Joe has eliminated all positions from his draft board except for tight ends and fullbacks.
d. Art is hard at work drilling peepholes into the players showers and coaches locker rooms.
They'll probably just use Kiper's big board to make their picks. Much easier that way.
I'm too lazy to look, but there was an article way back about the Skins hosting something like 75 players from local schools trying to find a "gem" for them to take with what little they had pickwise. That should work really well for them.
need more h backs.
they are putting together their first of many 07 mock free agent signings lists
:-D
taterskins traded up to 35 to take Rocky McIntosh. He isnt worth that pick, and probably gave up MORE picks in the process. Do they even have any picks left?
Pointing and laughing....
a LOT.
They gave up they're 2006 second rounder... their 6th rounder in 2006 and their 2nd rounder in 2007 for Rocky farging McIntosh!
Pointing and motherfarging laughing. :-D :-D :-D
So what do they have now for 2007? No 2nd and 4th, and the 2006 draft isnt even over yet? :-D

Art is probably casting his bronze bust for Canton as we speak.
McIntosh is a good player.
But is he worth 53rd overall, 6th round and a 2nd rounder in 2007?
No.
A post from an angry Skins fan who is promptly beaten down by Art's homer-minions.
QuoteThe taterskins overpay (and overcharge) for everyone and everything!
Do you really think we could not have to Rocky 5-10 picks later?
And to pay what we did for the move-up?
It's the same thing we did last year for Jason C. We did not need to move up so many spots to get him.
We're over-valuing players in the draft, and free agency (Antwaan, for example).
I mean, OK Synder (taterskins), we get it. You love to spend money... but be smart! Don't over-value and don't overpay. You could have waited more picks to trade up for Rocky and you could have given less for it. Why do I care? Cause we're the ones paying the price for these blunders @ 119 a ticket.
Eventually all of this is going to catch up to us. We can't keep overextending ourselves by pulling magic to get under the cap and trade away picks like their free candy. Eventually we're gonna have to say, "You know what, let's just be like a normal team this year and not trade up and pay for what we did the year before. We put ourselves in this place, we gave away our pick." EVENTUALLY this system will collapse under its own bloated weight... Obviously we're trying to win now, but after Gibbs leaves there are going to be DARK years around here as we pay the price.

Draft weekend is in the spring,and it interferes with Dannyboy's golf game,would rather be out on one of the first nice days of the year than being cooped up in a room.
And Gibbs would rather be managing his Nascar team
thus,lets give away our draft picks and do something more constructive on a nice spring wekend

how is next years 2nd rounder worth 165 points? and who really cares about the numbers.

Silly skins fan... You didn't know that every single high-character players yearns deeply to play for Joe Gibbs? For shame! You're a disgrace to all skins fans! Hell, even the winners like Sean Taylor obviously clean up their act as soon as they become members of your elite organization. So, since you guys cornered the market on those types of "high character" players, we're forced to add young talent to our offensive line by drafting a guy who pointed a toy gun at someone once and bought a hooker (presumably not at the same time).
I highly doubt you, personally, could begrudge him the latter of the two. I sure know Art couldn't.
ATV?
Isn't that what the great character guy Sean Taylor went pulling a gun out over? Some ATVs?

I think this incident occurred prior to being touched by the coaching angel. It will never happen again.
taterskins take:
Anthony Montgomery - DT - Minnesota
He cannow be touched by the Coaching Angel......
and Art's penis.
Montgomery was projected as a UDFA. skins take him in the 5th round.
QuoteStrengths: Possesses good size and flashes the ability to hold ground when teams run at him. Uses hands fairly well and flashes the ability to shed blocks quickly. Is tall, has long arms and can get hands up in passing windows. Lost a considerable amount of weight during 2005 off-season and had strong senior season.
Weaknesses: Montgomery's potential is limited by his lack of explosiveness. Doesn't have very a quick first step and isn't going to make a lot of plays in the backfield. Lacks ideal upper body strength, doesn't deliver a violent punch and has problems maintaining separation from blockers. Doesn't have great range and isn't going to make many plays in pursuit. Lacks closing speed and doesn't show a variety of pass rush moves.
Overall: Montgomery has the size and athletic ability to develop into an adequate backup but he offers little as a pass rusher and needs to get stronger as a run defender.
So, on a good day, he's basically a poor man's Sam Rayburn.
So he "flashes" the ability to hold his ground, huh?
What a steal for the Skins!
Pointing and motherfarging laughing. :-D

Quote
Round 2 is in the books, and we present here the round's most intriguing picks:
BEST PICK
1. Philadelphia Eagles: Winston Justice, T, USC — Justice had the best vertical jump of any lineman at the combine, and he outdid himself at USC's pro day. Yes, cynics will call him a workout warrior and wonder how often offensive linemen are called upon to jump straight up in the air, as high as they can. But Justice is a phenomenal athlete, a major reason for the college success of Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart, and a player who will make Philadelphia better. After the Eagles considered taking him in the first round, they got a steal in the second round.
2. New York Giants: Sinorice Moss, WR, Miami — The Giants love throwing the deep ball, and Moss has the kind of game-breaking speed that will allow them to stretch the field. The brother of taterskins receiver Santana Moss, Sinorice could replace the 31-year-old Amani Toomer in the starting lineup.
WORST PICK
Washington taterskins: Rocky McIntosh, LB, Miami — The taterskins gave up way too much to move into position to select McIntosh with the 35th pick, sending the Jets a second-round pick (53rd overall) and a sixth-round pick (189th overall) plus next year's second-round pick. All for a small linebacker who has trouble fighting off blocks. And McIntosh is the taterskins' only pick on the first day of the draft.

Sigh....when will you guys learn? Never, I would guess. That's just what being a fan is all about - being a fanatic.
Still questioning Gibbs....after all these years. Three Superbowls (out of four), Hall of Fame, yadda yadda yadda, blah, blah, blah. Then the man comes back to the sport after more than a decade and takes the team (with their supposedly horrible owner and all their other supposed deficiencies) to the second round of the playoffs in just his second year.
"Yeah but.....they have an old washed-up quarterback"
"Yeah but.....Owens ruined our season"
"Yeah but.....we had injuries"
"Yeah but.....the games were close"
"Yeah but.....they overpaid for their Free Agents"
And now "Yeah but.....Joe Schmo on iamageekwhohasneverplayedfootball.com writes that they over-reached for their draft picks"
How many beatings will it take for each of you to understand? So long as Gibbs holds the reigns for the taterskins, the Eagles will always be, at most, an also-ran, the runner-up, just as they were during Gibbs' first ten years. I admit though, no amount of beatings or demoralization will bring you particular fans to this realization. So, I'm essentially wasting my time.

Beatings? Now thats funny. Tell me what our W/L record is over you over the past 5-6 years.
And if you don't think they reached and gave up to much for that guy, then I can't help you man, you've got some serious issues. Maybe you should seek professional help.

That doesn't matter, obviously. Gibbs was only there the last 2 years, and he was still acclimating in the 1st year, so it doesn't count. Since the skins barely beat the Eagles twice last year, Gibbs is 2-0 in his new tenure with the team by the logic of skins fans. Infallable!

I think my team, the taterskins, were the biggest losers. They dealt away their first round pick last year for Jason Campbell, a quarterback who won't be playing anytime soon. We then overpaid to move up in the second round to draft a linebacker who has a history of injury problems. We then dealt our third round pick to San Francisco for a wide receiver who has a big mouth and no talent to back it up. Our fourth was sent to Denver in the Jason Campbell deal last year. We then drafted someone in the fifth that was considered a marginal player at best. What Gibbs and Cerrato are thinking is beyond me. We could have had some real game breakers and we blew it all. I'm willing to bet the 'Stinks don't go 10-6 this year. I'm thinking 6-10. Way to go Joe and boys......

well considering you grade drafts on whether or not the player is still with the team...that would have be a C- draft grade.
i said C
Not getting anything of consequence out of 6 of your 8 draft picks is bad.
I figured 6 F's and two A's for the grades and I weighted the two A's a little higher than the six F's.
Still, pretty damn putrid, though.

Gibbs taught him everything he knows about politics (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2433159)
"Gibbs taught him everything he knows about politics"
Well, first - Gibbs wasn't around when Shuler was with the Skins....he likely hasn't even have met the guy.
Also, from what I've read Gibbs voted Republican in the last election (which I must admit is unfortunate), while the article revealed that Shuler is actually running as a Democrat.

Quotewho the **** cares about banks? Honestly, im tired of the media bashing us? We got Gibbs... Thats all that matters. This franchise will be back on top in a few years
ES is "covering" the Skins mini-camp. Some goodies from the thread:
QuoteThe word that sprung to mind watching the stretching session was "regimented." At any given time there were 3-4 coaches/trainers calling out VERY specific instructions ("work that left hammy"). It might be the first day of rookie camp, but the staff is cranked up.
QuoteDanny Smith
Coach Smith started out the camp with O-line groups working on hiking and setting for the rush. He is a firecracker. Barking out commands he offers instant correction for things not done well. Calling the next group in he gets them set, hut, snap, next.
Smith has a sharp voice charged with command and when he tells one of the players to do something, they move quickly. Heck, I'm twenty yards and twenty years removed from these players but listening to Smith I'm ready to execute the maneuver
QuoteAl Saunders may well have stolen the show. The man is about as energetic as they come ... you'd think he was 25. He is animated, involved, critical, supportive, funny, scary (if you're a rook who just screwed up) ... and has this endearing habit of sprinting down the field in pursuit of players.
When they do something wrong, they hear about it. And not when they come back to the huddle either---they're as likely to be met 30 yards deep in the defenseive backfield. Same, interestingly enough, when they do something RIGHT. We'll have some "Al Quotes" for you once we transcribe all our notes (which are copious). If we manage to capture the tone/flavor at all, you're probably going to fall for the man as we have.
Wow. Jizztastic.
That's it. Time to blow up the internet. Yeah, we'd lose an infanate supply of porn in the process but it's addition by subtraction.
awesome stuff phreak....i cant bring myself to read that atrocity...but keep the gems coming
Right on...
QuoteCoach Smith is again barking out commands to the players, telling them when they did well, and chastising when they come up short; "You don't understand the drill, that's why you didn't get it." "Come on now, we're not a two-gap. We're rushing!"
These fools seem to be surprised that the practices are well organized and fast paced and even more turned on by the fact that coaches *gasp* actually yell at the players! Don't these tools know that even the crappiest team in the NFL has a regemented practice schedule and that every football coach in America yells at his players?
QuoteWhile the atmosphere was less frantic today, I got the impression that the coaches were running drills that enabled them to look more closely at each player.
As opposed to drills that enable them to look less closely at players? Jeez. This guy is a dope. They watch everything! They even watch (on tape at the end of the day) which players run to each station and which players walk. Something tells me that this guy never played football. Ever.
QuoteAn hour into the practice 7-on-7 drills begin on Field 3. The excitement level begins to rise as players are striving to make plays while other players seek to stop them. Imagine an offense with no line other than the center. Then imagine a defense with no line,
Again. This leads me to believe the guy has never stepped onto a football field. 7-on-7 drills are run in middle school for chrissakes! And this guy acts like the taterskins invented the 7's drill.
Wait. Maybe they did. Has The Coaching Angel touched on a new drill? Is the Angel innovative?!?!
QuoteI think the news today was Montgomery being hurt and not participating. I think the news was also a lot of solid play across the board. As a fan I gyrate more to the spectacular - but if and when everyone plays well, I can't tell who is shining and who is not
Gyrate to the spectacular? Should be gravitate. Asshat.
Ok, and now for the other ES fool covering this "event":
QuoteToday's Rookie Mini-camp was tightly orchestrated and incredibly well-run. I am continually amazed at just how organized and effectively managed this organization is.
Yeah, only the taterskins run tight and efficient practices.
QuoteBut it was the coaching staff that blew me away today. The involvement, intensity, engagement, and vigor with which the coaches displayed made me proud to be a fan. Listening to the coaching staff encourage, cajole, critique, and fire up this collection of future taterskins, UDFA's, and post-college dreamers, you'd have thought they were preparing for a playoff game. After a sum total of 60 minutes watching Al Saunders, I can tell you guys, he was a huge pickup for us. Being a former Marine, I love blood and guts coaching, fiery guys who get everyone around them pumped up. Well – put it this way, I could see Al Saunders leading a Marine Company up over the ridge to take out some machine guns. He is all over the field, slapping guys on the head when they do something nice, equally energetic when he sees something he doesn't like. This guy is the real deal. I thought his hiring was all about the mind of a purported 'offensive genius' (and he may be), but now I think there's a lot more to his hiring than just the x's and o's. He's going to make a big difference in a team that's already well on its way to playing hard-nosed, high-intensity, mistake-free football. I was truly impressed
Al Saunders centerfold shots to come on ES.com? This guy certainly hopes so.
QuoteMy impression of him talking to him as he came off the field today is that he is, above all other things, a humble and hard-working young man – the kind Joe Gibbs seems to fall in love with. He'll be another one who's got a real chance to catch on, particularly if he shines on special teams.
The above comment is about Reed Doughty...
And this guy is slobbin the ESers knobs:
QuoteWhy is Jimmijo at Rookie camp?
I know a few of you are asking that question. He is there because of us. No other team has embraced its online fan presence, as have had the taterskins and Mr. Snyder. Mr. Snyder came from a fan background like us, yes, he is a wealthy workaholic but he remembers where he came from. He solicited us through this website as a way of bringing us closer to OUR team.
The people who built this website with countless hours of volunteer efforts and even supporting the site with their own donations made it THE place for fans to come and get real unfiltered information on the team. They policed the board so the vitriol that dragged down countless other sites would not destroy this one. Then you and I came we made this our first stop every morning and last read every night. We contributed our thoughts, jokes, and poignant family moments. We became an international family and Mr. Snyder wanted to be a part and to make us an even larger part of what our taterskins are. Now as another season begins we will get better inside information then any other team anywhere. We have our people in the media room; we are there because we have earned it.
QuoteTHE place for fans to come and get real unfiltered information on the team.
Does that mean unfiltered by objectivity, journalistic integrity or common sense?

Aren't these two statements contradictory? In one they say the content is unfiltered, then immediately state that negativity is "policed". This is why I hate those haughty fargers with a passion. They are way too in love with themselves & routinely edit out what is bad about the team/fanbase and stand on a pedestal preaching their morals & superiority. It's like dressing a crack-whore in a business suit and having her give a state of the union speech.

Quote1. Skins
2. Giants
3. Pokes/Eagles
4. Eagles/Pokes
taterskins... well what can you say, that hasn't been said already.
finish 12-4 to 15-1
The Giants were one year wonders, and won't come close to equaling last seasons totals. But they still have a good offense and should be better than the cowboys and Eagles. Their defensive additions aren't as impressive many want to think, in fact they got a little older. Osi is not playing for a contract this season, and Strahan is just one year older. No improvement at DT...for every big stop LaVar will make, he will make two mental errors. and there isn't much speed in the DB. Play a much harder schedule this season.
Finish 7-9 to 9-7
Pokes: most overrated 9-7 team last season, finished poorly. Didn't address need at OL... in fact got worse, losing Allen. No overall team speed, and no protection for the stiff legged Bledsoe .... nullifies a lot of what TO could give you on offense. Plus no OL, means average run game. If TO starts pouting early it could be a long season. Losing Dat will hurt more than people know... he was the heart of the defense. Though the pokes will be good on defense up front, they will still get burnt deep.
Finish 4-12 to 8-8
Eagles: Young lineman rarely make a difference their rookie year. And the eagles didn't address their need of play makers on offense both at WR and RB. I still think passing on LenDale White in the draft round 2 was a huge mistake, as was failing to secure trades for Moulds or Walker. Westbrook is coming off a major injury that takes a full year to recover, and he just can't keep taking the same pounding with no real help. Pinkston & Brown at WR scare no one except Andy Reid
Finish 6-10 to 8-8
all this barring injuries to key personnel, or any other major changes between now and September
omg omg i care so much
I heard a taterskins fan on NFL radio this afternoon he was defending the fact that the Skins basically hand away draft picks. He was saying that he would take Brandon Lloyd over any third rounder in this years draft. The one point that he did bring up that was valid was that the taterskins have gotten smarter as far as not bringing in old FAs like Bruce Smith, Deion, and Mark Carrier.
He was saying that the draft was overrated because even a team like the Patriots that drafts well wouldn't be anything if they didn't luck out and get Brady in the 6th round. I think the Skins will have a good team this year but they are not going to win the SB imo. I guess they will never learn, they haven't been a SB contender since the FA era has began.
QuoteThe ability to provide fan viewpoints from the inside as fans and by bringing other members/fans of this board on board, we really can do things for the fan community no one else can. The taterskins have allowed this to REMAIN a fan website they just happen to pay for so you don't have to anymore. In exchange, they've asked for absolutely nothing from us on staff or you as fans. They simply wanted a way to get in touch with the fans more directly and they hope that's being accomplished with the ES grand experiment .
gloating about how amazing the organization is and how wonderful the entire extremeskins community is. gee, i wonder what flaming douche wrote that nugget.

Never in the existence of the man, have quadriceps been stretched like this. What you witness here, is a warm-up of legendary proportions. I thank Jehovah that I was able to observe this image.
You don't get players standing around on the sidelines like that at other camps. That is standing around at a championship level, and it can only be taught by one man.
There's only one team in the entire NFL that's fit to stretch on grass as green as this. We should all thank god Gibbs and his right hand man Dan Snyder for landscaping of such epic proportions.
Joe Gibbs invented grass.
The real question is who is #87 and why isn't he out there?
Was he not fortunate enough to be touched by the hand of Gibbs? Did the Coaching Angel not fondle his balls?
Time for the day 3 love-fest:
QuoteThe day started again with Danny Smith working players on teams. As always a firecracker.
"I want you to stun him! Come off the line and stun his ass!"
If Danny Smith spit out his wad of gum he chokes on, I think this guy would plug his butt with it.
QuoteI was keying on the LBs, who were hitting a blocking sled (the players get in a line and one at a time perform an exercise on the sled). With every hit the sled would slide closer to the sidewalk on which I stood. Within a few minutes the sled had come to within 15 feet of me.
Ohmygod! The sled was like, totally close to me!
Seriously. I stand by my original thought that this clown has seen excatly ZERO days on a football field as a player. Let me help him out here...blocking sleds are made to slide along the grass. It helps you stay low to keep your leverage while driving your legs.
Just ask George Hegamin.
QuoteThe setting was so intimate for me that after a time I felt that I was probably cramping the players' and coach's style. I decided to retreat up the sidewalk 20 feet and look at the D-linemen, who were likewise working out on a blocking sled. Sure enough, within a few moments they too were quite close. Again after a few moments I decided to retreat, not wanting to appear a pest.
So I walk backwards up the walk for about ten feet. After settling in that position I decide to turn left and observe the DBs downfield. I notice on the field about 15 yards from me stands Coach Gibbs, arms crossed, staring silently at the action on the field. Directly ahead of me 20 yards is Coach Williams looking at the D-line and LBs. To my right are Coaches Blache and Lindsey. Around us are the best of our draft picks and UDFAs.
Can it get much better than this?
clean off the keyboard...jeez.
QuoteAn hour later I am interviewing a player who to me has had the best camp – Jesse Lumsden. I immediately like him and hope he makes the team. I am interviewing Reed Doughty again. We have spoke everyday and I am pleased to break the news that Greg Williams spoke highly of him the day prior. Doughty is humble beyond reason and sharp. He strikes you as a 4.0 GPA guy immediately, only with muscle and speed. I'm following up with players like Nick McNeil and Andre Thurman – both of whom had good camps.
Finally, I am asking one of the men I most admire, Joe Gibbs, a question – and he answers it!
Or he would have answered it, had the fanboy not blurted out "I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES!"

QuotePredictions:On your team, who will make the HoF?
I'm a die hard Skins fan, so it hurts me to think about the talent we have let go. I beleive that Champ Bailey will make the HoF. The rest of the guys, A.Pierce, Smoot, and Lavar, will have a hard time getting in. I don't feel like they match up very well with their contemporaries, but they have the talent to make it to the HoF. With that said here are the guys I think will make the hall on the taterskins current staff:
1)Marcus Washington(he won't go on the first or second ballot, but if the writers don't vote him in, the players will.
2)Clinton Portis(Emmit Smith had only 3 years of rushing for 1500, or more yards over a 15 year career. CP has 3 years of 1,500 yards or better, and he's entering into his fifth year as a pro.)
3) Chris Samuel, Randy Thomas, and Jon Jansen.

1)Marc Brunell(has a 84.9 QB rating, and has thrown for over 30,000 yards. He needs a ring to solidify his induction to Canton IMO.)
2) Shawn Springs(The enigma. Has over 30 int's in his career. I don't think the writers will vote him in, but the players might.)
With promise:
1) Sean Taylor (The man commands respect, and he might be the single reason Safety's are being considered in the top of the draft. 6'2 230 and runs a 4.3. And he delivers hits with the suddlety of a sledge hammer, and covers like a cb. Check out these #'s 120 tackles, 2 sacks, and 6 ints. Nobody even comes close over their first two years at FS.)
2) C. Griffin(Once again I don't know if the writers will vote him in, but I think the players from his era will.)
Ahahaha :-D
That is friggen hilarous, what a bunch of dolts.
Brunell in Canton? Oh dear....
OK... No to Art Monk... but Yes to Marcus farging Washington?!?! :sly
Come on, Feva.
You need to be more suddle.
3) Chris Samuel, Randy Thomas, and Jon Jansen
but sean taylor only shows promise??...taylor right now is better than any and all of these guys
randy thomas in the HOF hahahaha
That list doesn't have enough h-backs.
the only lock on the skins is cooley
They should rename it the "Hall of Gibbs".
9 days? seriously.
For a change, an incompetent man such as yourself is right. Good for you.
This took no time to dig up, it was the first thread titled "Mr. Snyder:"
QuoteBoard Member and Larry Michaels
I relentlessly read the board, just to check out what is gong on with my favorite team (Washington taterskins). Over the Snyder years, Media, journalists, print media, and Board members, anyone who has a voice on TV and/or newspapers, are always taking personal shots at him. In my opinion he is a great owner, he always gets the Washington taterskins the player that they need, however, he hasn't done well on the coaches until recently, but just like anything else he had to learn to be a NFL Owner!
My point is this, I feel the narrow-mindedness Mr. Snyder gets is because of anti-Semitism and for you members that don't know what that means here it is! (Anti-Semitism is hostility toward or prejudice against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group, which can range from individual hatred to institutionalized, violent persecution). Tell me what other owner in the NFL, gets the treatment that Snyder gets, and I hate to turn this into anything else but football, however this is something that I feel is a deliberate bias toward Dan Snyder.
My intent is to garner communication on this subject matter and not to affront anyone; I know this is a tough subject on a football message board; however I have been waiting for just the right moment to broach this subject. Also a prevailing thought was this is retaliation toward him, because of his refusal to even consider changing the name of the Washington taterskins.
We all know that "taterskin" is a controversial term for Native Americans and one of the color metaphors for race used in North America throughout history. However, as with any discriminatory term, the perceived negativity will always be down-played by those whom the term doesn't put down or pigeonhole. One person's lighthearted 'term of affection' is another person's racial slur. Washington taterskins team's owner George Preston Marshall who was a controversial figure, refused to allow black players onto his team until 1962. Mr. Marshall chose the name "taterskins" to honor the team's coach, William "Lone Star" Dietz, whose mother was Sioux.
Enough with the history, again even in the circles of professional Sports, bigotry can surface. I am only offering my opinion of a subject that I know people might have thought the same thing, but did not broach the subject because of the implication that comes with the claim. In my opinion I do not find the word taterskin discriminatory, however I understand how a group of people can. I do find the treatment of Mr. Snyder blatant, transparent, and bias. I will fall on the term "perception becomes reality" just think about what I am saying, and go outside of your comfort zone, take a step back, and think of his treatment throughout his tenure!
This is the Media Vs. Dan Snyder, and I am only interested in intellectual feed back from other board member, If you feel that your comments are going to be ignorant please don't reply. I am working on a paper for school, so this subject is very important to me. Thanks for letting me give my opinion!!
it never gets old, does it?
oh, and since the important world of madden covers continues to disrepect the worlds greatest franchise and not put any of their amazing players on the cover, someone just had to take matters into their own hands

So people hate and ridicule Danny Snyder because he's Jewish?

Remember kids, the reason for hating Snyder isn't as important as actually hating him.
Good article on the Sean Taylor situation (http://www.miaminewtimes.com/Issues/2006-05-25/news/feature_full.html)
QuoteAccording to documents on file at the Richard E. Gerstein courthouse, an off-duty Miami Beach Police officer working South Beach nightclub B.E.D. received a report that Taylor, who was at the club, had asked if his gun was visible beneath his shirt.
"When I went to check his waistband, he slapped my hand, and I said, 'I have to search you,'" said Ofcr. Jesus Barrenchea in a deposition. "Once I reached his waistband, he said, 'No, wait, wait, wait, wait.' That's when he booked. He ran."
Taylor was never apprehended. Barrenchea said he filed an incident report with Miami Beach Police.
"Sean has a big heart and a lot of great qualities," former Hurricanes cornerback Antrel Rolle told the Washington Post. "But his friend selection is not good. I don't think that most of his friends have any positive influence."
QuoteTaylor's blue Yukon Denali cruised by the house multiple times. After several more drive-bys, the SUV stopped on the street. Hill approached the vehicle to ask Taylor what he wanted.
"He started talking nasty and stuff, talking about how öThe police can't touch me. I own this town. Where's my ****?'" said Hill in a deposition.
According to Hill and other witnesses, Taylor exited his truck, pulled a gun out of his waistband, and pointed it at several people. Taylor has consistently denied there were any guns present at the altercation.
"When [Taylor] pulled up, he jumped out of his car," said Gardner. "When he jumped out of his car, [a] black Altima pulled up. That's when the guy, he had a chopper.
"They call it a chopper, but it was an M-16."
"You give Sean back his ****," the man said in a thick Jamaican accent, according to state witnesses. "Give him back his **** or we are going to kill you."
Hill, Gardner, and the others claimed to not have the ATVs.
"So [Taylor] was like, 'I'm going to come back and I'm going to kill all you ******s,'" said Nashea Herlong, one of the state's witnesses.
He needs more touching from the angel of coaching.
He's going to get touched by the angel of shower rape. I hope.

Ha.......ha-ha......ha...ha
Hey dickbag, your comrade posted the exact same thing two posts above.
Nice to see him have to go to schools.
What's he going to talk to them about?
"Guns are bad. And so is fighting. What you want to do when you get really mad at someone is to hock up a huge loogie and just spit in the guys face. Just let it rip. Make sure you drink something sugary first so the spit has a mile long tail on it and dangles from the other guys facemask."
"Oh, and don't worry about getting in trouble. My friends on Extremeskins.com will post a frame by frame replay of the loogie being spat. And no matter how guilty it may make you look, Art and Bubba9497 will tell the world how innocent you are."
What? A sports-pseudolebrity got a plea bargain?! That's unheard of! Why, we aught to write to our congressmen about this tragedy. C'mon fellows, whip out those calligraphy sets!
I have no worries that Taylor will still get touched by the angel of shower rape in the skins locker room.
Joe Salave'a has been eyeing him up.
BTW, in case you fools didn't know, a plea bargain is a way of the defendant admitting his guilt in an incident. So, all of you who were contesting that he was absolutely and definitely not guilty are simply wrong. He did every last thing he was charged with, and he's getting a slap on the wrist because he's an NFL player (as we all knew he would).
wow it really says something when Skins fans gloat about their "super safety" pleading down to misdemeanors.
he's still GUILTY.

Uh, no. Someone would have to be stupid to not take a plea deal that offers no jail over a risk that they might go to jail for 46 years. Moreover, he was offered a deal earlier that he would agree to felonies and still serve no time but declined because he said that he didn't want felonies on his record. He didn't even plea to felonies. The felonies were all dropped so he is admitting to one "misdemeanor battery charge and one misdemeanor assault charge". He is not saying that he had a gun or took it out.
It has been an entire year since the incident. The fact is the state has no evidence has against the Taylor and are willing to drop the entire thing. Not that Taylor definitely didn't do it but they really have absolutely nothing but the witnesses who happen to be the same people who shot up Taylor's friend's house.
So, he certainly would have been found innocent, but accepted a plea. Sounds about right, if you're going by the usual level of logic displayed by skins fans.
Now Taylor can go back to spitting in other players faces.
Or crying over shaving cream.

If they absolutely "had nothing", wouldn't they just drop the charges completely instead of taking a plea deal? It looks to me like both sides had tenuous arguments.
Skins fans would have defended Pol Pot if he wore burgundy & gold.
Just ridiculous. :-D
PS: Love the "punishment" he'll have to endure. Ten thousand whole dollars? Wow. Think he can spare it?
Also - if that piece of shtein came to my daughter's school to speak to her and her classmates, you can bet your ass that she'd be out "sick" that day. No way I want that thug anywhere near my child.

Now he's "

Also - if they had "no evidence" against him, then why the farg did he take the plea deal? Why would an "innocent" man ever accept a guilty plea of any sort? I sure as hell wouldn't.
"So, all of you who were contesting that he was absolutely and definitely not guilty are simply wrong."
Oh no, I admit, he's guilty. Taylor is a complete thug - Both on and off the field.
I'm only trying to rub this in, after reading from so many of you hoping, pleading, that he won't be on the field next year. Well, he will be.

Most of us WANT him on the field next season. He's a liability in the passing game, and that can only help the Birds.
The only reason we wanted him in jail was so he could be ass-raped on a routine basis, like the piece of shtein bully deserves.

actually, this guy admitted that he thinks taylor is a thug and guilty. and the fact that he's only happy because we're not. i can respect that. more than most skins douchebags.
You speak as if you know a lot of skins fans. Weird.
Damnit, I wanted that thug in jail getting ass rammed by Bubba and White Power Bill. Oh well, I can always settle for the tag team of talentless safeties that the taterskins will now get burned deep with.

taterskins | Taylor could face fine or suspension
Fri, 2 Jun 2006 05:43:51 -0700
Amy Shipley, of the Washington Post, reports Washington taterskins S Sean Taylor still faces a possible suspension or fine as a result of his case that he pleaded out of. The plea agreement included the dismissal of felony assault charges and no prison time for Taylor, and seemed to represent an extremely favorable outcome in a case in which Taylor faced up to 46 years in prison as a result of his arrest last June after a street fight in a depressed part of Miami. Taylor told the judge he accepted the plea reluctantly. With the resolution of Taylor's legal case, the issue now will be taken up by the NFL. "It will be reviewed for possible discipline under the terms of the league's personal conduct policy," said Greg Aiello, the NFL's vice president of public relations. Under the policy, a player who is convicted of a crime or pleads guilty to one can be disciplined at the discretion of the commissioner. The team plans to action against Taylor. Richard Sharpstein, Taylor's lead attorney, said he discussed the plea deal with NFL general counsel Dennis Curran, who indicated that similar cases have resulted in fines and one- or two-game suspensions.
I farging hate the taterskins.
I get the feeling that the DA's Office was pressured by someone with "political connections" to make this thing go away as "quietly as possible."
And a 1-or-2-game suspension plus probation is much quieter than 46 Years in Penn State.

Oh, a pun! Where's Jerome99RIP to throw in a hearty "LOL"?!?

TAYLOR COULD STILL LOSE $9 MILLION
As we explained on Wednesday night after word of Sean Taylor's plea deal broke, the taterskins safety now faces punishment from the league pursuant to the Personal Conduct Policy.
Under the policy, he can be fined, suspended without pay, or banished from the league.
Per the Washington Post, NFL general counsel Dennis Curran has told Taylor's lawyer that similar incidents have resulted in fines, one-game suspensions, and two-game suspensions.
As we explained on June 6, 2005, Taylor's contract contains a bonus forfeiture provision that is triggered if "he fails or refuses to practice or play with Club at any time for any reason whatsoever (including, but not limited to, voluntary retirement and incarceration)."
For a default occurring in 2006, Taylor can be required to repay $9.02 million. So if he's suspended for one game or more in 2006, he necessarily has "fail[ed] . . . to . . . play" in 2006, triggering a default in 2006.
Although the new CBA drastically limits the extent to which teams may recover signing bonus money moving forward, the new CBA specifically states that forfeiture provisions from contracts entered into before the end of the 2005 will be in full force and effect.
And although the "term sheet" negotiated by the league and the union in March insulates players with pre-existing forfeiture clauses against the repayment of bonus money covering contract years in which the player already has performed, it appears based on Taylor's total signing and option bonus and the length of his contract that there is still more than $9.02 million in bonus money that he has yet to "earn."
Of course, the taterskins aren't required to pursue the money. But they won't be on the clock to make a decision until he actually misses a game. So if between now and September Taylor takes a turn for the turdish, he might just end up with a love note from Dan Snyder asking for a check made payable to the team in the amount of 9 million smackeroos.
By the way, the 'Skins are scheduled to open the season at home against the Vikings at the debut game for ESPN's Monday Night Football. With the Boys in Bristol paying $1.1 billion a year, we've got a feeling that the league will find a way to let Taylor play.
Coach Joe would never take money away from a player. He'll give him a hug and a tug and tell him to get back in there and then tell everyone what a great kid he is.
I don't think an inappropriate coaching angel touch is going to cut it this time. I think Taylor needs a Care Bear Stare.

Oh, so instead of a jail rape, he'll get a training camp rape. It's all good.
taterskins quarterback Mark Brunell has a fractured left index finger and will miss two-to-three weeks of offseason work, the team's official web site reported. Brunell suffered the injury earlier this week and might miss the team's minicamp on June 16-18.
remember Kurt Warner? Take care Marky Mark, get comfortable with the headset on the sidelines in week 2
The awesome thing about it is that Brunell suffered the injury due to pointing and laughing at the taterskins.
It's that time again. This one, like always, took zero time to find.
Thread titled "Art Monk is the Greatest Wide Reciever of All Time."
QuoteI know there are already posts like this, and it is only my 81st, but I could think of no more fitting way to post then to have the 81st dedicated to Art Monk. To me he was Jerry Rice before there was a Jerry Rice & is still better then him in my opinion as he always had others to share the ball with & never had anybody the likes of Steve Young or Joe Montana throwing his way. Let's get Art in the Hall of Fame
QuoteYes i agree. Art Monk is the man. He ripped some of the best defenses ever. He deserves to be in the hall of fame. Completely hatred agaisnt the washigton taterskins. If he was a cowboy he would defenitly be in. Im sick and tired of the nfl being bias againts the taterskins.
Seriously guys. I'd rather have Art Monk than Jerry Rice. Who wouldn't?
Art Monk was a great reciever, he could get open on any D in the league, but he was no Jerry Rice by any streatch of the imagination. Rice was faster, beat double teams all the time, and caught a lot more TD's than Monk did.
The thing about Monk was the way the Skins orginization shtein on him. He was the best reciever they ever had and they never gave him a Harley like they did someone else. They let him go with as little fan fare as possible.
Art Monk wasn't the best reciever of all time, but he was damn shore one of them.

The Skins seem to do that to alot of their "potential HoFers." Wasn't the Brian Mitchell "sign-and-retire" also a fiasco, thanks to the whole handling of the salary cap (which was why they had to sign him AFTER the season was over or some crazy situation like that)? I barely remember it but I do remember that the contract was signed in February. (Contrast with Randall, who signed in the 2002 during the pre-season, and retired).
The canonization of Joe Gibbs continues:
QuoteI think all new players at camp for the Washington taterskins should be required to get on one knee and literally kiss each of the Super Bowl rings on the fingers of Joe Gibbs, Don Breaux, Ernest Byner, Joe Bugel, Jack Burns, et al. They should feel fortunate to be in their mere presence.
This will begin their indoctrination into the program and begin to develop the warrior and respect mentality from the get go. Parcells has his first round picks be his waterboy for the summer, so I think we should do something similar to put these guys egos in their place.
The mission, the sole objective, should be the Ring.
Oh dear god.

QuoteSome school kids in Miami are in for a real treat. Sean Taylor is coming to give them a talk. Let's hope they don't take notes.
Taylor, a k a Tha Hitman, is a star with the Washington taterskins. A hit-man mentality might get the average citizen in trouble. But we found out again last week that Pro Bowl ability means never having to say you're sorry.
Taylor faced 46 years in jail on assault charges. There was a little neighborhood spat last year featuring pistols, an M16 and a baseball bat. Everybody involved has less credibility than Paulie Walnuts. Throw in all the lawyers an $18 million contract can buy, and the result was predictable.
Taylor pleaded down to two misdemeanors and got 18 months' probation with a cherry on top -- community service. He'll have to donate $1,000 to 10 area schools and talk about staying in school. It's an odd topic considering Taylor left Miami early for the NFL, but the justice system moves in mysterious ways.
"It sounds like a travesty," said Gordon Bazemore, a criminology professor at Florida Atlantic.
He didn't know all the details of Taylor's case, but he's an expert on community service. It's the preferred Get Out of Jail Almost Free card for today's Jock on the Go.
USA Today recently examined 40 cases in which athletes were charged with offenses ranging from assault to drug possession to having sex with minors. Only 5 percent ever made it to trial.
In 24 of the 28 cases in which community service could be determined, the penalties were not exactly roadside trash pickup in an orange vest. Though to be fair, NASCAR driver Kurt Busch had to exert himself enough to throw out the first pitch at an Arizona Diamondbacks game. Most community service turned out to be loosely organized public appearances. The strategy is to lawyer up, plead down and try to show up at your autograph session on time.
Some sentences are redemptive. Bazemore cited a case in which athletes who parked in handicapped spaces were sentenced to working with the physically challenged.
"Community service can turn people around," Bazemore said. "Or it can make them more defiant."
Any predictions on Tha Hitman? Taylor actually has a pretty clean criminal record. One DUI charge was dismissed. Another night he allegedly had a concealed weapon at a Miami nightclub. The off-duty cop tried to frisk him. Taylor ran off and never was apprehended.
NFL prosecutors have had more luck. Taylor has been fined seven times in just two years for things like late hits and spitting in Michael Pittman's face.
Not that any of that means he was guilty of anything last June, of course. The only undisputed facts are that two all-terrain vehicles he owned were stolen, and Taylor really wanted them back. Witnesses said he drove up to the suspected thief's house, started waving a gun and said, "The police can't touch me. I own this town."
The rest of the ATV recovery mission included a brawl and approximately 27 fresh bullet holes in Taylor's SUV. He fled that scene before cops arrived, then turned himself in three days later. He has denied having a weapon.
It doesn't sound like the behavior of someone with nothing to hide, but who are we to judge? The most important thing is that this unfortunate incident has taught Tha Hitman a valuable lesson.
The next is that he now will be able to relate it to school kids. What's that speech Taylor likes to give?
"The police can't touch me. I own this town."
The fact he'll be standing there will be proof enough of that.
Taylor is a bad mother farger.

Witnesses said he drove up to the suspected thief's house, started waving a gun and said, "The police can't touch me. I own this town."
The rest of the ATV recovery mission included a brawl and approximately 27 fresh bullet holes in Taylor's SUV. He fled that scene before cops arrived, then turned himself in three days later. He has denied having a weapon.
It doesn't sound like the behavior of someone with nothing to hide, but who are we to judge? The most important thing is that this unfortunate incident has taught Tha Hitman a valuable lesson.
The next is that he now will be able to relate it to school kids. What's that speech Taylor likes to give?
"The police can't touch me. I own this town."
The fact he'll be standing there will be proof enough of that.
Taylor is a bad mother farger.
Still getting your shots in at Philly though. >:(
bubba breaks down the nfc east
Quotetaterskins [11-5]
Giants [10-6]
Cowboys [7-9]
Eagles [5-11]
Washington taterskins - The most improved unit of the team is the coaching staff. Football games are won and lost in the trenches. Between offensive coordinator Al Saunders and defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, these are going to be areas where the taterskins will shine. The lines of the taterskins are considerably better than anyone else in the division. With the addition of Andre Carter, the defensive line has improved. Any unit that is led by Williams is going to be a contender. The only real question mark is can QB Mark Brunell stay healthy. If not, Jason Campbell is going to have to play like Ben Roethlisberger did in his rookie year for the 'Skins to make the playoffs.
New York Giants - Most people have already crowned the G-Men as the division champs. I don't think so. Yes, they did sign LaVar Arrington. That makes the defense the strong unit on the team, but I still need a lot of proof that Eli Manning is going to be able to win the big game. I don't think he can, and he will prove that again this year. I see the Giants making the playoffs, as a wild card team, but making it no farther than the first round.
Dallas Cowboys - I will give TO until week 5 before the INTERNAL problems start, beginning with him not getting enough balls thrown his way from the human statue named Drew Bledsoe. Then, it'll be another two weeks before those stories start leaking out into the public. TO is a cancer that will harm this team more than he helps it. I will say Dallas' defense is much improved, but the fact is, this is Bill Parcells' last year in Dallas, and he is going to go out with a thump.
Philadelphia Eagles - Can anyone tell me how this team improved in anyway, shape or form this off season? I don't question Donovan McNabb's ability, but without a true No.1 WR, and a running back that has shown he is as fragile as fine china? Anyone that thinks Philly has a chance of even going 8-8 has no clue about football
Sounds like wishful thinking from old Bubba over there.
That wasn't Bubba that wrote that article, it was some guy from Scouts.com.
Anyways, i know you guys love hating on the taterskins, but in your honest opinion, who do you think is the face of the defense? I'm just curious as to what fans of other teams might think.
Marcus Washington. After that, there's nobody that I think is both talented and shows leadership qualities (exmple: not shooting or spitting on people).
its defintiely marcus washington and its not even close
Yeah. Marcus Washington. I think he is a pretty damn good reason that your defense has been what it is, along with Williams coaching. Lavar was a complete and total non-factor leadership-wise on that team the moment Washington was inserted.
That being said, the taterskins suck massive amounts of cock. And I am pointing and laughing.
Chris Hanburger.

I go to every game. They still have the same hardcore 56-60 K fans that they did at RFK. Only the stadium holds a ridiculous 90K now, so that can leave about 20-30K of opposing fans.
2004 there were a ton of Eagles fans.
2005, not so much. And definitely not as loud.
i was there in 04. it was ridic. we took over the house. but the skins won cause dawkins didnt pick off the pass.

Really? I mean, seriously, they believe that? I hadn't heard that, but that's unbelievable, even by ES standards.
They say his knee was out of bounds or something. I don't know. They're all dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met, so what can you do?
5 eagles-skins games at fedex at i barely remember any of them.
That stadium is a waste of J.K.C.'s money. The seats are jammed together and the stairs are steep as anything. You would have thought that with the history of that franchise the stadium would have been built fan friendly instead of with only the thought of making the almighty dollar in mind.
Skins fans are rubbing their peckers raw this morning, as Cold Pizza has reported that there is a chance that they may be picking up Junior Seau. They've conveniently forgotten that Junior Seau hasn't played like Junior Seau in almost 5 years.
[skinsfan]OMFG!! We might sign Mean Joe Green!!This D-line is going to be f-ing unstoppable[/skinsfan]
The guy has played 15 games in 2 years..know when to hit the showers Junior. thats a Hugh Douglas in his last years signing right there--strictly for leadership and motivational purposes
Junior started going downhill his last few seasons in SD. Even the most idiotic Chargers fan could see his decline, the ones who wanted him around only wanted him for sentimental reasons.
thats a classic lil danni fantasy football move
Sadly, he'd still be better than Dhani Jones.
a seemingly rational skins fans stands up to the blind homerism and unquestioned stupidity that pollutes ES:
Quote
I'm a taterskins fan. I love taterskins fans. I love this message board. However, I'm continually amazed at many poster's inability to see players for what they were. Everyone who ever wore a Skins uniform does not need to be propped up above Joe Montana, Jim Brown, and Jerry Rice.
This nonsense is usually seen in questions about which taterskins should be in the HOF. I've seen questions about Doug Williams, Stephen Davis, Ernest Byner, Gerald Riggs, and even Chris Cooley. Seriously, 99% of the players mentioned for the HOF are totally mind-boggling.
Please stop. It's embarrassing. I encourage everyone to take a look at the current HOFers and learn about what they did and who they were.
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest. Like I said, I love this board. However, some of the stuff I read here is amazing. I believe the more knowledgeable our fans become about the game (and not just the Skins), the better off we'll all be.
Leave the crappy analysis and inflated egos to the Cowgirls fans. That is all. Carry on.
and then he shut down by a factless response from spin master and Art Jr, bubba:
QuoteOutside of Monk, Jacoby, Grimm, and Green (sometimes Clark)... few if any former taterskins are mentioned as HOF worthy, and only Monk is debated regularly here. I'm not sure where your point of contention comes from.... but I never have heard or read any Skins fans harping for any other former Skins, except those few mentioned

This is in response to a Skins fan who shook up a grape soda and opened it near a guy with a TO jersey on so it would stain his jersey. The guy had his daughter with him (the Skins fan) too.
After several "you sound like an Eagles fan" lines, I found this GEM;

QuoteHello.
My name is Art. I have something in common with Tarhog, Henry, TK-IV II I, Om, Die Hard and Blade. I have the ability to ban you. I don't always like to do it. I usually reserve banning for people who simply tell lies. But, I'm turning over a new leaf.
I'm not going to post for a whole week. During that week ALL I'm going to do is read. And ban people. Over and over and over. By the dozens. Who am I going to ban you ask? Well, if you ask you are probably one of them.
In addition to my finger on the ban button, Tarhog, Henry, TK-IV II I, Om, Die Hard and Blade will be enjoying the same freedom. In the last year we've increased from 1,000 registered members to over 7,000. It's time to sort the wheat from the chaff.
There will be temporary bans and permanent bans. Which will depend on us.
So, after the time stamp on this post, here are some precious rules to adhere to.
If you post a fake post on this board, you are no longer getting the clown. You're getting banned. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. If you have 9,000 posts on this board and you post a fake post, you're gone. If you have 1 post on this board, you're gone. Bye.
It could be a temporary ban, or, it could be that Die Hard hasn't gotten laid in a week and has decided to take out his sexual frustrations on you. I use Die Hard as an example because the rest of us never have to go a week without, and Die Hard will protest that he doesn't either, so, it's funny .
I don't like to play the administrative heavy here. I like to debate and insult and argue with all of you. But, for the next week, I'm not saying a word except "That's _____" with a count as I remove many of you from the equation.
When the week is done if this board is back to normal, well, I'll say hi again and turn the moderating back to you. You've had fair warning.
Art.
I don't even know where to begin.
MDS, you're banned because Die-Hard hasn't punched anyone in the face all week. Bye.
See ya.
Stop crying. It was a 30 second ban. He found somebody to punch and says you can come back.
What a total farging loser. Seriously. I would like to set the front of his house on fire and wait by the back door with a baseball bat.
:yay
People who run a message board getting on their high horse and theatening banning people?! Preposterous!
I at least give credit to G_F that he's never come even close to the height of Art's horse. Unlike Art with his board members, G_F loves us and tries to whip us into shape with cute threats. Art, I'm sure, just needs to make his miniscule wang feel larger by banning a few hundred people in the next week.
So, in conclusion, G_F probably has a bigger johnson than Art, but he has no ugly wife to bang.
Those are a lot of hairs you're splitting.
You don't want an ugly wife, they're miserable and think they're finished. You want an ugly girlfriend, they have something to prove.
See, Art needs to date himself and everything will be just fine over there.
Man, what an asswipe. Maybe he should have stopped for a minute before that last post, and asked himself...........
What would Joe do??
Joe would totally power trip.

taterskins | McIntosh will miss minicamp
Tue, 13 Jun 2006 20:42:57 -0700
Gary Fitzgerald, of taterskins.com, reports Washington taterskins LB Rocky McIntosh (knee) will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery Wednesday, June 14, and miss the team's minicamp. He is expected to be fully healthy for the start of training camp, according to head coach Joe Gibbs.
So they trade up and reach for a LB with bad knees????
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
cant the angel hands just touch the knee and make it all better
I'm sure the Coaching Angel can do it. It's not like it hasn't been done before.

It appears that Taylor has been touched by Coach Gibbs after all...
Quotetaterskins. Last year, safety Sean Taylor defiantly skipped off-season workouts and wouldn't return Washington coach Joe Gibbs' calls, saying his off-season time was his own.
He changed his story yesterday, saying he would have been a participant last year had it not been for "some complications," which he did not explain.

http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=100914
QuoteTaylor gets fresh starts because he is immensely talented, with all the tool of a Pro Bowl player who could rule his position for years to come. The taterskins have punished him -- he was forced to work with the second-team unit Friday after missing a large chunk of the voluntary spring workouts -- but the message doesn't always seem to get through.
"As long as you're here from the end of July to January, or whenever the season ends, that's all your team really cares about," Taylor said.
Gibbs couldn't disagree more.
..... He said he decided to attend some of the offseason work this year for the sake of team chemistry.
"Everybody's entitled to their own opinion as far as offseason goes," said Taylor, who also recently became a father.
Ooooooooooh... he was "punished" by having to play with the second teamers?
Wow.
Draconian measures, to say the least.

Nothing worse than a rice rocket. But a taterskins ricer?!? Nasty (http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2642561#post2642561)
QuoteOn one play during the offense versus defense, Gregg Williams was screaming at his guys even before the ball was hiked to Todd Collins. "Look right! Look at the coverage! Communicate! Come on!" He was simultaneously yelling at four different players during the same play. That's impressive.
QuoteOne aspect of today that I really liked was seeing the referees so involved. When a ref blew his whistle, he always ran over to the player he called the penalty on and explained why he threw the flag. It's almost as if the two or three referees on hand are an extension of the coaching staff.
And THAT, my friends, is the taterskins way. Sure every team brings in the refs. But in Washington they are not just there to point out penalties, they are there to make sure none of Gibbs' Angels do no wrong.
QuoteThe biggest thrill of the day for me, as it was last year, and would be for any die-hard fan, was getting to ask Joe Gibbs a question. Following up on the good ju-ju I created last year (asking him if we'd finally make the playoffs), I asked Gibbs about the importance of the 5 game winning streak to end last season, and the impact (or not) of that feat on the psyche of this team. He gave a great answer, like only Joe Gibbs can.
Finally, if any of our observations this weekend seem somewhat vanilla and bland, its because we're not going to give away some of the other stuff we might have seen (such as interesting formations, trick plays, or the like). We're fans, and we don't want the enemy seeing anything before this coaching staff wants them to. We'd like to, trust me, but there is some stuff we can't talk about.
Vomit inducing.
QuoteBut the highlight of my conversation with Sam Huff was when he noticed that all of the players who weren't involved in the offense versus defense drills just so happened to be lined up across the field conveniently blocking the view of the reporters. He looked at me straight faced and said "Joe Gibbs is afraid someone will figure out he might run off tackle – like he did when Riggo was here. I mean, come on. No one saw Riggo coming. He could win three more Super Bowls and he'd still be afraid a reporter was going to give something away." Just too funny for words
This shtein is too good! Someone tell Sam Huff that teams line up like that from high school on up. It's not to keep reporters from seeing whats going on - its just how they line up during those drills. If Gibbs was so worried about reporters as the "too funny for words" Sam Huff points out, he'd close the portion of practice where they run plays.
QuoteBubba Tyer keeps the players hydrated with plenty of frequent water breaks. Tyer is a genuinely warm and funny man. He came into the pressroom last evening and was cracking joke after joke. We have to do a chat with this guy this season. Today's session opened again with team stretching,
Wait a minute. The trainer gives the players water to drink?!?!?! OMG!
And he has them stretch?!? Groundbreaking shtein here, folks. Give ES an Pulitzer.
QuoteMoss bobbled the ball, and doing something he rarely does, dropped a very catchable pass. He looked right at me and asked 'did you get that?' to which I replied 'yep'. Moss got his payback after practice though when I asked him a question about the lack of a big possession receiver and he said 'we didn't have one last year did we and how did that work out?'. Ouch. I had no clever snappy comeback
classic stuff phreak
That had to be all Art (or maybe Bubba or Om).

QuoteIt seemed like forever but we were finally ushered down to the field for the action. Coming out of the main building was like walking into an oven. Locals like me tend to brag to others about the intense Washington heat, but even for me it was oppressive
Grow a set of balls, loser.
QuoteFurther, we were located on a walkway in the endzone of the field they worked out on and whenever the offensive was moving the ball away from us, every player not in that particular package blocked our view standing behind the play
Conspiracy, obviously. Gibbs knows that JimmiJo and the rest of the ES dickbags will give away secrets.
QuoteBetts made a ridiculous run-after-catch on a pass to the flat. Running down the sidelines he was about 5 yards from the end-zone was Sean Taylor horse collared him out of bounds – both players laughed
Obviously a nervous laugh on Betts part and a smarmy laugh by Taylor. Betts was laughing nervously because he was thankful than Sean did not pull out a gun after Roy'ing him or spit in his face.
QuoteSaunders was all over the place as has been reported previously, encouraging and congratulating players when they do well. I only heard him have to yell "finish!" once today. Greg Williams was the most vocal today, and he could be heard throughout the 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills. Coach Bugel got excited on one play and really seemed to be congratulating his guys. Coach Blache could be heard at times encouraging his players
The constant practice of ES'ers calling them "Coach" is disturbing. Sickening, actually.

And in case you haven't had enough - JimmiJo kindly writes an article for us all (http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=158334)
QuoteTime was when players wanted to come to Washington to get paid. Now we hear from guys who speak to hard work and team first. Time was you didn't hear about much during the off-season. Now we see 98% of the players appearing in muggy Ashburn for voluntary strength and conditioning training and other OTAs.
QuoteThere is a sense of organization and work ethic surrounding the team. We have all heard the reports that Gibbs and company work ungodly hours. Many have told us of the meticulous planning that the coaches put into each season and game. This is belied in the haggard faces and at times short-tempered demeanor of a coaching staff little used to sleep
QuoteThe coaches are driven like taterskins' coaches have not been in a long time. They are coaches who have won before and expect to win. Congratulate Joe Gibbs on the team going to the playoffs last year and he will respond with words that tell you that while last year was good, last year wasn't good enough. Yes they went to the playoffs but they then lost.
It is the work we have seen these past eight weeks that tell us that this team may be special. It is the 98% attendance rate that points towards the single-minded vision this team shares. It is a vision built on top of hard work and endless planning and preparation by the coaching staff. It is a shared commitment to working hard towards a single goal.
While these things may not translate instantly to Super Bowl victories – these things constitute the foundation on which winning is built.
Coach Gibbs has said that the good thing about football is that no matter how much you work, worry, and wonder – in the end the games are played and you know just how you did. Seven months from now we will know how this team did.
This off-season however demonstrated that this organization is built on a solid foundation and seems to be light-years ahead of the team and organization we witnessed even a few short years ago. This team is well managed and well motivated. Around taterskins' Park is the palpable expectation of things to come.
Perhaps the start of something wonderful.

taterskins | Campbell still learning; battling Collins for No. 2 spot
Mon, 19 Jun 2006 05:25:02 -0700
Paul Woody, of the Times-Dispatch, reports Washington taterskins QB Jason Campbell is battling QB Todd Collins for the team's No. 2 QB spot. Campbell took more snaps than usual during the taterskins' minicamp this past weekend because starting QB Mark Brunell (finger) was out. He had some outstanding moments and showed an ability to zip passes into tight spaces. He also showed he could put air under the ball and find receivers on deep routes. He also had some "teachable" moments. If the season began tomorrow, Collins would be the backup. The season doesn't begin until September, though. "Jason has made steady, steady progress," offensive coordinator Al Saunders said. "He's going to work through the summer, and, hopefully, when training camp starts, he will be in a position to really compete for that backup position."
Hoping your second year, first round draft pick QB can compete for the backup spot against a career backup? Classic.

After reading this story & some Skins fans opinions, it reminded me of the Monty Python "Dead Parrot" sketch:
QuoteSkins fan: I wish to complain about this QB, which my team drafted not 1 year ago from Auburn.
Art: Oh yes, the, uh, the Jason Campbell...What's,uh...What's wrong with him?
Skins fan: I'll tell you what's wrong with him, my lad. 'E sucks, that's what's wrong with him!
Art: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
Skins fan: Look, matey, I know a bad QB when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
Art: No no he doesn't suck, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable QB, the Jason Campbell, idn'it, ay? Beautiful mechanics!
Skins fan: The mechanics don't enter into it. He can't beat out career back up who's only thrown for a little over 3000 yards in 10 years.
Art: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
Skins fan: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up! 'Ello, Jason Campbell! I've got a lovely starting job for you if you can beat out a mummy & a career journeyman!!...
Art: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!
Skins fan: STUNNED?!?
Art: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was reaching his peak! Jason Campbells stun easily, major. If he's not stunned....Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.
Excellent work, BM.

The conversation seems live, fresh, meaningful to me, since I've not been there to see it the past 50 times. I always know these conversations because members express their frustration with newbies not searching the board first, despite being asked .
Yet, I know it feels good just to JUMP into the fray and get some interaction going. So, it got me to thinking. Is there room at ES for another forum -- maybe a sub of this forum -- designed for two kinds of users. One, the over-eager newbie who just wants to get the thing about Lavar Arrington he's stored up for months but hasn't expressed to fellow fans off his chest, AND, for KINDLY vets who know this is a repetitive post, but, who can kindly engage that conversation, or, helpfully link to other conversations.
No, this would not be a forced forum. It would simply be an area where those somewhat more tolerant of repetitive questions could answer them of those who really just need to ask them, even if we think they could use search. . Ultimately because it would be optional, my guess is it wouldn't work, but, I wonder if we utilized it and directed newbies who weren't interested in following the main forum more closely that the other forum was designed JUST for that kind of thing.
This is more thinking out loud than anything. An idea I can't quite complete or figure out exactly how to make it work, yet, think there MIGHT be some value for the newbies and vets in the constant battle between them and the constant view that one side or the other is special .
So, just let me know what you think. Is this a mildly interesting idea, or should we just leave it go as one of the more hairbrained ones we've considered?
What a loser.
Wow. I remember when playing games was fun, not a second job. Imagine that... Freaking dork.

Why? Did the internets run out of pr0n?
This thread has been silent too long.
In an effort to promote their bas-ass image, The Dead Tree Crew has put together a best hits video of them:
1) Spitting on a female Eagle fan's sneakers
2) Ganging up on single Eagle fans
3) Tipping over a porta-potty.
4) Stealing a hoagie-hat from a straggling fan
Never before, has a group of people deserved a fiery death more than this group of posing fargtards. I'm not even kidding.
Hit a Muthafargkin' Eagle Fan (http://youtube.com/watch?v=_LjTa9ijJdE&search=hit%20a%20eagle%20fan)
Those punks should be touched by an angelic baseball bat.
On the days I just feel like caving someone's face in... I can only dream of wandering past those idiots.
I do think it would be a lovelything to behold to see a pile of Eagles fans descend upon their tailgate and beat the piss out of every last one of those Fairfax County wannabe tough guys.
That rap was maybe one of the worst things that I have ever heard. It was so bad it was hilarious.

Phreak, I ever get back on some leave you I and a few others should make a trip down there and regulate. :fire
yea include me in. that little bitch is all talk. he's just waiting to get a beat down. im surprised some taterskins fans havn't already done it.
he talks because his tailgate is like 50 deep...ive walked past the tailgate numerous times and never got anything more than an 'eagles suck'...and ive walked up to them with some heads and all they did was talk stupid ish that they all thoguht was the most hilarious shtein talk on the planet...stuff like "youre bird poop" literally...and then they all start pumping their fists and LOL'ing like they are playign the dozens...pathetic
why do you think in all the years they have been video taping tailgates they can only come up with footage of them messing with ONE eagle fan
they have an in with the parkign lot security there...they get their tailgate spot reserved for them and are allowed to set up in the lot far before the general public is allowed entrance...because of this im guessing they dont start fights or do anything more than tell other people their teams sucks because they dont want to ruin the relationship they have with the stadium...and a big brawl would do that

I would like to shake that man's hand.
anywhere in the FedEx parking lot is the least intimidating thing in the world. i've never even seen those fools though.
Good god they need to die.
first eagles game i went to i saw an eagles fan beat the shtein out of a taterskins fan. ever since then its like second nature.
The sad thing is that most Skins fans don't even deserve a beatdown. They are so submissive that they let every visiting team's fans take over their own stadium. If anything most of them need a smack in the ass from their fellow fans to get them to toughen up. This will of course never happen since almost all of them are 100% softbatch.
The DTC, on the other hand, deserve severe beatdowns from any and every possible angle.
What does DTC stand for anyway?
its another word for the napoleon complex or dwarf type cock
Dead Tree Crew.
They named their group after a goddamn dead tree that was by where they tailgated.
I used to argue with that jitbag TheMayor on the old NFCEast Rantatorium. He was fun to farg with. He'd get all worked up and then start talkin about how much money he, errr his parents, has and how he has a Corvette and the Eagles suck and how the rest of the DTC would stomp me.
I would buy the Skins fan who knocked him out a case of beer.

Of course, like someone mentioned in the thread on extremeforeskins, it's better than the $25 to park plus $20 admission Danny Boy charged last year.

2006 Preview: Washington taterskins
Welcome to another installment of our ongoing series, Better Know a Football Team.
Epiphanies are mysterious things. They are moments of clarity that result in paradigm-shifting realizations, and that's some pretty heavy shtein. But you don't have to be named Stephen Dadelus to have one, nor are they always accompanied by sunsets and choirs of angels. Nope, a person can have an epiphany while they are sitting on their ass watching TV. Take me (please, ladies. Take. Me. Anywhere.) This weekend I was on my couch, firmly ensconced in faux velvet, when the following occurred to me:
1 - That poster (http://www.thenewkidsforever.com/pics/group/group/group28.jpg) on my wall may be the reason I'm single
2 - No way those pills actually work . . . although that guy does look awfully confident.
3 - My job is my credit
4 - I don't actually dislike the taterskins
Now, that last one shocked me. I went to college in a taterskin state and, for a guy from New York who didn't like the Skins, being amongst their fans in the 1990's was a glorious carnival of schadenfreude. Norv Turner. Gus Frerotte's headbutt. The inevitable late season losses to the Cardinals (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzzsaw). Those were the salad days.
But times change, grasshoppers. MNF is on ESPN instead of ABC, MTV doesn't play music anymore, and Al Roker is skinny. In short, it ain't the 90's anymore. It's the 21st century and not only do the Skins look like they are on the verge of stopping traffic in suburban Virginia and Maryland so people in khaki pants can get out of their Volvos and sing Hail To The taterskins, there are things I actually like about them. Here are three:
1 - Joe Gibbs –In the movie about the old coach who returns to a league that may passed him by, Gibbs' character last season went from Hume Cronyn to Wilford Brimley. And in a league where assistant coaches have become increasingly visible (and therefore more important? Not sure which came first), he's got two pretty good ones.
2 - Clinton Portis – On the field, we all know the guy can play. But it is off the field where Clinton stole our hearts. His weekly press conferences were one of the few instances of plain, silly fun in the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE in the last several years. I have no doubt that the powers that be will ban them by the start of the season. In fact, Joe Buck is already sorry they ever took place and thinks we are all worse off for having seen them.
3 - Dan Snyder – Short, rich, and apoplectic. He's Kim Jong Il but without the nuclear capabilities.
Even if this wasn't enough for me to tune in this season, the fact is that this was a very good team last season that got better during the off-season. Despite a disappointing playoff loss which these guys did not take well (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8ktboPhLRM&search=taterskins%20fans), the Skins should be able to continue playing like they did during a an impressive run in the 2nd half of last season in which they seemed to gel as a team. They've got Portis, they've got Santana Moss, and now they have Antwaan Randle El. And despite the loss of amateur reality game show host LaVar Arrington, Gregg Williams' defense still is going to be fine, with veterans like Marcus Washington and rookies like Rocky McIntosh and Anthony Montgomery.
If there is a question mark for the Skins, it is at QB, where Mark Brunell will continue his quest to prove he is not Patrick Ramsey, and where Jason Campbell will hold a clipboard better than a lot of other guys could. (But hey, if the Washington D.C. football team is looking for a quarterback to step in and save the day, I think I know the guy.) Despite the QB situation, though, the Skins seem to have fewer question marks than most NFC East teams - the Skins could run away with the division -T.O. could be T.O. and help destroy the Cowboys from the inside (and kill Parcells in the process), Eli could decide he's not ready yet, and McNabb could just implode (especially after a week one loss to Houston. Do not doubt me on that one). Or they could all have excellent seasons and the division race becomes a tight one. Either way, the Skins are probably a good bet to get out of their division.
So those are your 2006 taterskins: talented, and not entirely unlikable. I had asked Julie and Travis, close friends of mine and the two biggest Skins fans I know, to offer their predictions for the 2006 season. One is in the process of rebuilding South America. The other has probably hit on you at The Angry Inch. Both have enough dirt on me to keep me from ever running for public office. Anyway, neither got back to me in time with a response (we run a pretty tight ship here at KSK). So instead, a friendly reminder that right about the time the Skins wrap up a playoff spot would be a great time look into financing that new automobile, and when you do there's really only one place to go:

Which brings the question to mind, what would Joe think?? ;D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8ktboPhLRM&search=taterskins%20party
What NFL team doesn't have its drunk idiotic redneck fans? I don't think the taterskins have any more than average.
More scary, to me, are their dillated pupils. I guess we're not normally used to being able to see pupils so large in such dark locales.
QuoteGIBBS HEADING BACK TO NASCAR AFTER 2007?
The talk in NASCAR circles (hey, we got sources everywhere) is that Joe Gibbs will retire (again) from coaching after the 2007 season and return to the NASCAR team that he owns.
And this news will only fuel speculation that taterskins owner Dan Snyder will target Steelers coach Bill Cowher to be his successor, notwithstanding the assumption that current Washington defensive coordinator Gregg Williams is in line for the job.
Cowher is under contract through 2007, and with the Steelers opening camp on Friday the chances of an extension coming any time before the end of the 2006 season will be slim and/or none.
At that point, Cowher might just finish out his contract and see what he can get on the open market. Our guess? The taterskins would pay Cowher at least two dollars for every one that the Steelers would pay.
I'd say Snyder would triple what the Stillers would offer. He's not cheap.
I think there's no way the Steelers don't re-up Cowher. He's made plenty of money is his career and his family loves the Pittsburgh area. They'll make him one of the higher-paid coaches in the game, and that'll be good enough.
The skins should honestly give Gregggg Williams another shot as a head coach, based on what he's done with mostly bums on that defense.
The skins should hire Deion Sanders to coach.
i think snyder uses connections that gibbs has and hires GOD as the skins next coach
cowher is god in pittsburgh, no way they let him go unless he really wants to leave.

Some of the ES camp reports...
QuoteIt was especially enjoyable to watch and listen as several media members threw in their two cents on Soriano. I'm not kidding when I say that some media members even stayed in the media room while all of us headed down to the field because they wanted to wait until the trading deadline had passed to see if/when Soriano was traded. And yet, I have a sneaking suspicion that this is how Joe Gibbs would want it.
Yeah, Joe cares about that.
QuoteOne of the taterskins staffers told me the first fan showed up today at 10 a.m. He said this guy took a cab all the way down from New York to be at training camp, and once he was dropped off he just hung out at the front gate until they let him in. It needs to be said - our fans are like no other.
What? Stupid like no other? Never heard of an airplane? How about Greyhound or even Amtrak? The Northeast corridor doesn't have many daily flights and trains that run from NY to Washington. Nah, no one ever travels that route! Let's take a cab and shell out hundreds of dollars. Dope.
QuoteI got my stuff together, got my credentials and headed into the building. Having anticipated the miserable weather, I had been drinking bottles of water all day, so I needed to make a quick pitstop as soon as I got in the building. As I headed out of the restroom I nearly took Marcus Washington out when I almost opened the door on him. How many fans would have been hunting for me had I taken out the heart and soul of our defense because of my girly bladder?
What the farg? :-D
QuoteSafety Adam Archuleta couldn't resist. WR Santana Moss fully extended in hopes of pulling in a poorly thrown pass on the far sideline. Archuleta could have pulled off, but instead he let Moss know he was there with a little love tap, and knocked him on his tail. Let's just say if that play happens again during the regular season you can rest assured that Archuleta will knock the wide receiver out.
No, we can watch Archuleta get smoked while in coverage.
QuoteBrunell performed the Bang drill where he couldn't seem to hit the broad side of a barn. His throws were either too powerful where he overthrew guys going to the corner of the end zone (from a good distance out) or his balls fell short of the intended target. I did notice that not all of these were his fault as in some situations; the receivers went in different directions than where Brunell threw the ball. This could be either the WR's or the QB's error. Under the new offense, you have the 3, 5 or 7 step drop and then you get rid of the ball or take off running. If you throw the ball, many times it is on a timing route where the ball is expected to be in a certain location, and hopefully, the WR will be there at the same time.
3, 5 & 7 step drops are fundamental football. This guy makes it sound like Al Saunders invented them. And get this...if no one is open after the drop is complete the QB has to check down or run! Imagine that. Some ground breaking offensive football being developed down there in Washington.

Amtrak only does that route once per day, and it's in the afternoon. It goes north first thing in the morning.
Still, it's like $80 to get from LaGuardia to the Hamptons. What the hell do you have to pay a NY cabbie to drive you to DC?
A lot.

QuoteLincoln Kennedy, the former Raiders Pro Bowl offensive tackle who is trying to make a comeback after having been out of the game for two years, will still have a visit with the Washington taterskins, according to Scout.com sources. The visit apparently still is on despite reports that he failed his physical in a visit to the Cowboys on Tuesday.
He weighed in at 390, his playing weight was 330.
The taterskins are giving each other skin infections. What a bunch of gays.
QuoteThe taterskins training camp has been infiltrated by a nasty staph infection, and the team trainers and doctors, trying to keep it in check, have requested the team make a few changes around the camp. Players will no longer be allowed to share "daily athletic equipment" (a.k.a. jock straps) or razors. They also now are specifically required to use soap when they shower. Which is totally a good idea.
Also, they now have a fancy whirlpool with "an ultraviolet light filtering system designed to kill germs." Yeah, see, we really would not like to see what's floating around in that thing either.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/02/AR2006080201938.html
Not sharing jock straps and using soap when you shower is a good idea.
I know the jockstraps gets washed, but who the hell would share a razor anyway?
i'm gonna share a razor with a dude before i share a jock
you ever hear of hepatitis C? your not sharing the cup on the jock strap, just the strap which is washed
the razor is probably dipped in alcohol but still Id be worried
I would share a razor with someone way way way before I'm rubbing my crotch in some other dude's taintjuice.
I don't know about you, but I'm not worried about the outside chance that my friends have hepatitis C. I am very worried about the very real chance that they have Herpes Symplex A. On their dongballs.

That just goes to show how stupid taterskins fans really are. I mean, who the hell would try to use 2 broken thumbs to wipe their ass?
I call bullshtein. Gibbs would simply lay his hands on Jansen's broken thumbs and heal them.
There is so much to laugh at right now. I might just have to save all the laughter for when I have more time.
They have to tell them to not share ball holsters and razors? And make sure they use soap? :-D :-D
If it's the MRSA form of staph, thats some nasty ass shtein. Some of the inmates have that shtein. It eats holes in your skin. Yummy.
This is all part of Gibbs' master plan. He wants his players to be so disgusting that even Ron Mexico wouldn't touch them. Can't be tackled, offenses afraid to get tackled by them. 19-0 season!

taterskins | Team taking precautions to fight MRSA
Thu, 3 Aug 2006 19:49:51 -0700
Howard Bryant, of the Washington Post, reports the Washington taterskins took multiple precautions to fight the microbe, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It is a bacteria that was once relegated to hospitals and prisons, but starting to proliferate in locker rooms at all levels of sports. The team has had five cases of MRSA over the past two years, according to team physician Tony Casolaro. The team's director of sports medicine, Bubba Tyer, added, "We're concerned about it. We don't want to lose any player. We don't want anything to affect their career and we want to do all we can do. It's a terrible infection that can cripple your team."
Isn't that about when they gave Art all this access to the team? :sly
If anyone is interested, NFL Total Access is airing the Skins/Ravens scrimmage at 8:00 EST. This will either allow us to point & laugh or drop to our living room floors in total awe of the greatest coaching staff ever assembled in NFL history.

WP: Big pronouncements in August can haunt you in December (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/04/AR2006080401397.html)
QuoteClinton Portis on goals: "Winning the NFC East. Win the NFC championship game. Winning the Super Bowl. Rushing yards don't matter to me as long as I get a ring."
Chris Cooley on why he could care less about how many passes he catches: "We win the Super Bowl, it doesn't matter to me."
In Ashburn yesterday, David Patten said that for the first time since he was with the New England Patriots he feels his team is going to the Super Bowl.
And who can forget Mark Brunell's proclamation on Day One of training camp? "Anything short of going all the way would be a disappointment."
The Washington Wishful Thinkers are wrapping up their first week of training camp, and either the heat has been getting to them or they like doing Pro Football Weekly's job.
Look, I'm not saying don't talk Super Bowl behind closed doors -- especially if a team believes it has the goods to get to Miami in February. And, okay, not one of Coach Joe Gibbs's players has come out and actually predicted a championship. "If I had said, 'Hopefully, we'll win six games,' they would ship me out of here," Brunell said yesterday. "Thirty-one other starting quarterbacks should be saying the same thing."
But most players gunning for a championship don't publicly talk about it. At all. Especially in training camp. And if they do, their name is Peyton Manning, who's been to a conference championship game fairly recently. Manning saying, "This is our year" is justified and tolerable; he and the Colts have been at the doorstep for a while. Gibbs's club, which was 5-6 at one point last season? Not so much.
Talking about winning the Super Bowl is dangerous business, especially in August, when no injuries or issues stand in the way of a championship run. It's dangerous because the congregation begins holding the team accountable as if it's already a contender -- and no football demigod wants to enter a season thought of as a contender, especially St. Joe.
Gibbs's three greatest fears in ascending order: the wrath of the Almighty, 6-10 all over again and John Madden saying Joe Gibbs has the makings of a championship team.
It's why Gibbs recently had a little chat with his minions about running their mouths and giving the enemy grist. Gibbs knows if the masses believe and he doesn't deliver, he's right back to the late 1980s again, when he raised the Lombardi trophy one season and ended up 7-9 the next.
And the ES'ers get all huffy about it (http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162664)

Big Pronouncements in August Can Haunt You in December....Is our panties in a wedge today?
Living he in Carolina, the Panthers coverage is unbearable for a taterskins fan like me. Each and every interview from a player has the reference "its Super Bowl or Bust" in it. Theres wishful thinking in Carolina these days is that wrong also? How about Indy or even Dallas because of TO?
This is what makes the NFL great, almost every team and there fans get a fresh start, a new season. With it comes positive thoughts and ultimate goals, and parity says it could happen to any team.
If you want to sit behind your computer on a wonderful Saturady afternoon when football scrimmages and practices are taking center stage. Thats fine but lets keep the doom and gloom to yourself, because unlike you we enjoy football season with high expectations.

Jacobs acknowledged that the difficult job of making the taterskins' roster has grown more difficult with this latest injury.

i know the haters will attack me but how much do you wish the eagles had this guy...on this board i said a while back that this cat was the best safety in the nfl and would be one of the greats ever...like vernon davis dooks a cyborg
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp06/columns/story?columnist=smith_michael&id=2546843
I don't wish the Eagles had him. The Eagles have a pair of excellent safeties. You're the only one with the unadulterated man-love for Sean Taylor. Yes, he's a physical freak - strong and fast, with a nasty mean streak. Yes, his ceiling is higher than Mike Lewis or Roy Williams, but he's a complete moron who will never reach his all-around potential for one reason or another.
He's basically the T.O. of safeties, except he's ALSO a thug.
It's a shame the taterskins got a stud with just about their only first rounder in 11 years.
When he was coming out of Miami I was a big fan of his but his first couple years in the league have been less than spectacular. His play hasn't been terrible but he hasn't lived up to the hype either and his legal issues as well as on field antics haven't helped any. It's not too late for him to turn things around but I've already labeled the guy as an idiot and won't lose any sleep if his nuts got severed by a bear trap.

hes already the best safety in the nfl....if he doesnt improve at all for the rest of his career he will be a hall of famer...if he does get better which he should then he could be the best ever at his position...so what exactly is his all around potential
You're the only one with the unadulterated man-love for Sean Taylor
guess you didnt read the article
and i actually cant stomach him as hes a taterskin and it makes me sick that they have a player as good as him but at the same time you have to acknowledge his greatness
except he's ALSO a thug
you say that as tho its a bad thing...this is football not soccer
Being a thug means you suck at life. Period.
Stop drooling over Taylor's nuts and get back to pointing and laughing.
I think Ed Reed might have something to say about your pronouncement, IGster.
valid point
as i posted in this thread last year reed is the best safety in the nfl with taylor to surpass him soon
You're wrong on many counts, IGY. I will continue to point and laugh at you, along with the rest of the skins fans.
So, when Matt McCoy hits a QB out of bounds, he's a stupid white boy, but when Sean Taylor does it, it proves he's one of the NFL's best and a true on-field thug, right? You're a douche, and Taylor's a criminal.
Quote from: Jerome99RIP on August 13, 2006, 01:22:12 PM

Agreed and I would also rate Polamalu ahead of him too. Taylor has the most potential of any safety in the league, but he is not quite there yet.
What I want to know is how IGY can even pronounce anyone the best player in the league, when he only watches that player 2 out of 16 games a year, and he doesn't watch any other players unless they're on the Eagles or happen to be playing them.
Frankly, he can't. More overblown hyperbolic crap as usual.
Sean Taylor will never be a great because of his mental aptitude (or lack thereof, actually) on and off the field. He will, however, always be good because his physical ability makes up for a lot of it - kind of like a LaVar Arrington.
Quote...
Sean Taylor was born April Fool's Day, 1983, and since the taterskins picked him fifth overall in the 2004 draft out of Miami (Fla.) he's acted rather accordingly on and off the field.
For all his wondrous gifts, potential and all that he means to one of the best defenses in football the past two seasons -- "We're a different team with him," quarterback Mark Brunell has said -- Taylor has been associated with bad news. It seems he's either being sanctioned, sentenced, sued or suspended.
He blew off the league's mandatory rookie symposium, an act for which he was fined $25,000. Perhaps even worse was Taylor's refusal to accept/return legendary head coach Joe Gibbs' calls when Taylor boycotted the team's offseason program last year. The taterskins suspended him for a game his rookie season after an arrest for driving under the influence (he was later acquitted).
He's reportedly been fined seven times for on-field infractions, including $17,500 for acts of unnecessary roughness. The nation saw the best and worst of Taylor in that Tampa Bay game last postseason. Following the aforementioned touchdown, Taylor spit in the face of Bucs running back Michael Pittman, earning an immediate ejection and a fine from the league of $17,000.
The taterskins don't mind that stuff as much....
I'm pointing and laughing that Taylor's head will ultimately only cause problems for the skins.

Brunell looked pretty bad on the opening drive, though it could be miscommunication since it is their first preseason game.
Or he could just suck.
He's old. It'll take him a couple of games into the season to be warmed up... and only a couple of games after that to be tired out and ready for the next off-season.
Or it could be that he just sucks.
Well, every player has to get on their knees and suck Gibbs' schlong. That's the taterskin way, dook.

He hurt it making the tackle on the guy who picked off Brunell. Portis tried to WWE his ass and in doing so he hurt his shoulder.
x-rays negative, they are doing a MRI now.

Portis - out

Portis had a sublexation of his shoulder.
It separated and then went back in on its own.

exactly. He made some pretty stupid comments after the game, which if you want to see is on taterskins.com. He was saying they should have taken him out after his first run. Seemed like he was just frustrated. But as you all know skins fans don't like it when someone says the all great one Gibbs made a mistake. Regardless, portis sounded like a dumbass. I think he was trying to say, in general, preseason games are not needed. Atleast not 4.

seriously they may or may not be idiots but they are amazing football players and id take every last one of them...ill say it again tho it still amazes me that the eagles somehow found the only miami player that cant play...and they trade up for him
as for portis that injury is trouble...its what lept ray lewis out for essentially a whole year...popping in and out is one of the hallmarks of this injury and happens quite a bit if you dont get surgery...this is a terrible injury for a running back....a lb cant give hits with this injury so imagine a position where youre taking hits with it
fortunately for the skins tho hb is the one position on the team where they actually have depth...betts is one of the best back up rb in the nfl imo and you would not see a significant drop off were he to replace portis...
it still all comes down to brunnell and his inability to play the game anymore...if plays like he has for the last 9-10 games they are in big trouble...that pass he made on the interception last night is brunnell in a nutshell...theres a significant amount of throws he just cant make in this league anymore because he has no arm strength left...perhaps the new wr's are as good as everyone says and saunders is really that much better of an ofensive mind than gibbs and the combination of those two things will allow brunnell to succeed...very possible and with their defense they arent going to have to score that much...but theres also the possibility of them having another 04 season where for like half the seaosn brunnell literally couldnt get a first down and even with a top 5 d they went 6-10....hopefully thats the case again
Brunell(and the other QBs) looked like shtein yesterday. I have gone to most of the training camps and the first week brunell looked worse than he did yesterday. The second week of camp he looked much better.
The starting defense looked better than i expected yesterday but the offense looked horrible. The main problem with the skins is depth. YOu are right about the skins having depth at RB and they also do at WR(for this reason you will probably see taylor jacobs practicing with the eagles soon) but outside of that if the starters go down we are introuble at any position. Even with the depth we couldn't afford an injury to santana or clinton . The skins' backups all suck. The backup o-line is probably the worst number 2 o line group in the league, which just makes them slightly worse than the dallas starters. With an injury free season i can see the team going far but we all know that never happens.
Yesterday Carter, the RB, injured his leg and i guess he is out for the season. Jesse lumsden is a back-up RB that i am interested in seeing. He looks really good in practice.
It's amazing how much IGY is able to analyze the skins, considering he only watches their games against the Birds.
Lumbsden is a Canadian. Thats all you need to know aboot him.

You need to get some miami guys on the team. Makes it more fun.
I don't think i said it here because i haven't been over in a while but i got a chance to see portis and taylor at a high school they were doing a camp at. Also there that day was shawn merriman and chad johnson. Well i got a good chance to talk to sean. First he was joking around with the girls that were there and my friend claims he leaned back and checked out his girlfriend as she was walking away which made him pretty happy. Now portis wasn't really talking to anyone but taylor was being all nice and spoke to us for a while when he was signing. Surprisingly he seemed like a nice guy.
Later when i was leaving i saw him in the parking lot and he just started giving me advice about college which was wierd(I don't think he is qualified to give advice about college). Funny thing is he was trying. He asked me my major and talked about it and kept on asking questions. I talked to him about my orientation. He then was saying that its ok if i want to change my major because you don't take classes towards our major until the junior year. Again, its a football player, not to mention he was facing 26 years, so i was really taking the advice to heart. Taylor isn't as bad as people think he is. The article from ESPN that talked about him hit on the head. He really seemed like a good guy. I don't think he will be causing too much trouble from now on.

Go review a list of Miami players drafted. There are plenty that havnt done much.
Yeah, that Kevin Everett is tearing it up in Buffalo. Him and Buck Ortega in WAS will make everyone forget about Shockey and KWII.
That Ken Dorsey's a keeper too. Maybe one day he'll be as good as Gino Torretta.
i love taking everything literally
and miami qb's dont count
Duane Starks is good too. :P
Phillip Buchannon is the bestest CB EVA
Sean Taylor, while horribly gifted, is not the best safety in the league. When he was being drafted it was clear that he has the ability to be great. But I tend to see him (like many others) as someone who is unlikely to live up to his ability. I mean, the dude obviously has some rather large anti-social behavioral problems. On top of that he doesn't even seem to care that much about football. My undying hatred of the taterskins aside, he's never going to be a hall of famer and I wouldn't be surprised if his behavior becomes more and more bizarre over the next few years.

michael irvin??
When Michael Irvin makes the Hall it will be because he won 3 superbowls. Much like other WRs who randomly make it he doesn't have the stats to back up his eventual election. Michael Irvin was a competitor and a gamer and a leader. On top of that, while he was also a criminal, he won championships. If Sean Taylor becomes the leader of this defense, a player that other players rally around and follow, and they win superbowls, he may get elected but as long as his head is all farged sideways and he's spitting on opponents, he isn't sniffing the Hall.
Don't think Irvin. Think Romanowski.
:-D
Jesus IGY....you really believe this Sean Taylor best saftey in NFL crap?
:-D
He's as much the best safety as Ron Mexico is the best QB.
you really believe this Sean Taylor best saftey in NFL crap?
nah i just like spending my day writing stuff i dont believe on an internet message board
actually i can live with reed being the best right now but taylor is not far behind and will probably surpass him this year
interested to know how Taylor is even better than Roy Williams, but we can argue that at a later date

Yeah, but Taylor's young and totally not at his prime yet and he totally is totally going to totally outperform Dawkins numbers by light-years, becuse he's just that good! Off-field problems and the fact that he's semi-retarded be damned! He's going to totally be the best safety evar without a doubt!
HYPERBOLE!
The word on ES.com, per the taterskins radio show, is that Shawn Springs has a groin strain that will keep him out all of the preseason or possibly longer.

dawk also blew more assingments got run over more and was the best player on a bad defense...where as taylor is feared and for the most part stayed away from...at this point in his career people are going at dawkins not away from him so hes going to get better numbers...

Most of you may hope that, but we all know a big part of you wants to see the skins prove you right about them winning the division and dominating the Eagles. Because you have a secret love for the D.C. area you now call home.

so let me get this straight. Dawkins beat Taylor in ever single defensive stat that is measured by the NFL, yet you call it meaningless. Taylor beat Dawkins in make believe stats that you made up and have no way of proving. And you say all of this after you mention that you dont watch any other NFL games other than the Eagles games.
ok. :-D

Mike Sellers totally ran over Dawkins last year on one play, thereby Dawkins get's run over more than Taylor. I can't see how you could think otherwise. ???

How could you possibly know how many tackles Taylor missed or didn't miss?
Taylor doesn't miss tackles. Receivers scare themselves so bad that they fall out of the way of the hit.
Taylor doesn't miss tackles

its almost comical how you make blanket statements about players without even seeing a majority of the NFL actually play.
Taylor is invisible on the field. You wouldn't know he's out there because he isn't a playmaker.

Compared to how many other teams he watches, he sees the taterskins a ton. Two games a year?! That's more than the one Steelers game every four years that he watches yet, somehow, he knew that Randle El was a stud. Amazing! If he knows that much from one game per four years (plus the superbowl, presumably) imagine how much he know about the taterskins players! He sees them twice a year! Who needs more of a sample than that?

Agreed. I could barely read it and I wrote it.
Point: You claim to watch nothing but Eagles games. You also make wild claims and observations about players from other teams being great/awful/whatever. It doesn't add up.
Further, you almost universally put extra emphasis on how good certain Washington players are. This is not coincidence. You live in the DC area and as an Eagles fan absorb a lot of taterskins info. The problem is that since you 'only watch Eagles games' and your only other source of NFL information is the abundant Skins information being rained down on you locally, you think that Sean Taylor is a god, that Antonio Pierce was 'the truth' and that Dan Snyder is a good owner because he will spend anything to win.
In spite of an abundance of information on all three counts to refute your opinion, and in spite of your own admission that you don't really pay attention to anything outside of the Eagles, you make outlandish statements about players/teams and pass them off as fact.
In other words, you like to stir the pot (which I appluad), but you haven't sufficiently covered your ass while doing it so everyone knows that you're full of shtein and your pot-stirring is much less effective.
I dont know if this belongs here, but who the hell cares.
Anyone else find it extremely stupid that because of Portis' injury and all that stuff, national media is talking about shortening preseason? News flash idiots, Portis' injury was in the taterskins first preseason game. There's no point to bring it up shortening now when it has almost nothing to do with the situation.
Point: You claim to watch nothing but Eagles games. You also make wild claims and observations about players from other teams being great/awful/whatever. It doesn't add up.
i never said i watch nothing but eagle games i said i only am interested in eagle and taterskins games as i live for eagle wins and taterskin losses and have a hard time getting up for any other games...as i said on the board one time to i think ff when he accused me of not watching any other teams:
"correct...but then neither do you....at most each week you could watch a game or two more than me...thats if i watch no games other than eagles...if i happen to watch the sunday nite monday nite or an additonal sunday game then we are essentially even...but again what does this have to do with anything..."
so if you go by that then no one on here can make any statement about any players in the nfl except eagles and thats not fun for anyone...
it doesnt take a genius to know how good a player in the league is if you watch them for a few games...as ive said before give me the resources (game tape...attend workouts...travel to games...ect) and i could be just as successful a gm as reid

The bottom line is that IGY = hyperbole. And when he gets a positive opinion about anything or anyone related to the skins, we can simply lump him in with the ES fans, rinse, and repeat.

springs out hurts us. This team has the worst back-ups in the league. I can only think of our WRs and ladell betts that i feel comfortable starting. I don't feel comfortable starting any of the QBs anyways but if campbell had to replace brunell to injury i don't think i would feel a big downgrade. That leaves 3 positions we can afford injuries. If the skins have more injuries this early they will be in big trouble.

taterskins still haven't scored a point with their 1st team offense & got run over by the Jets. Of course, that has more to do with both the Bengals & Jets going "all out" with trick plays in the preseason, than the quality of their team. ;)

I read that site last week when they said Marvin Lewis was running flea flickers because he had an axe to grind against his old employer.
I can only guess what the excuses are for the Jets tonight. Did new coach Eric Mangini and new GM Mike Tannenbaum have a problem with the Skins raiding the roster when they were not in those positions three years ago?
The Jets really went all out with not even playing Pennington and letting a converted Qb run an end around.
Quotestory time
so it's right before the start of the third quarter and I'm sitting in section 125 right behind the Jets bench

Quotetaterskins | Gibbs not happy with team's start
Sun, 20 Aug 2006 18:16:06 -0700
The Associated Press reports Washington taterskins head coach Joe Gibbs is upset with the team's slow start this preseason. "We need to take a serious look at all this. ... I haven't done my job. ... It was all the way across the board. When we show up and do stuff like that at home, I take it real serious," said Gibbs. After reviewing tape of the game Sunday, Aug. 20, Gibbs added, " Special teams -- very poor showing. We gave up a lot of yards rushing. ... Our third downs were 3-for-11, very poor. ... I thought we would get a great effort playing extremely hard coming home, and we play a game like that. It does a number of things to you. You get upset about it."
See there... this is a classic example of what makes Mr. Gibbs such a great man. When the team is not giving the effort and results that such a wonderful man like Coach Gibbs deserves to see... he lets his team know that he's not happy about it! Any other coach would simply remain quiet and silently hope that his team improves. Not Coach Gibbs, no sir! He shoots straight from the hip... and takes no prisoners. He says to his team "Hey, let's go out and score some points with the 1st team offense for a change" and you can bet your sweet bottom that they'll go out and get at least a field goal next time out, because when a man with the pedigree of Coach Gibbs speaks... things happen... and they happen fast!
Worry not, Skins fans. Coach Gibbs is not happy with the way the team plays, so all is well. [/Gibbs knob-slobber]
the skins really looked like shtein yeaterday. they gave up like 150 yards rushing to the jets. who don't even have a RB.

As part of a three way trade that sent Lelie to the Falcons.
They don't have their 4th-rd pick either. That was traded for Lloyd. So they have their 1st, 5th, 6th and 7th left....
They don't ever have picks but I will give them credit for always trying to improve their roster, the only thing I don't understand is why they have never had any serious salary cap issues yet. They have overpaid for just about every FA they have.

They buy off the Eagles extra cap space. They pay $1.50 for every $1 of cap room.
so smart by washington to pick him up. I praise Snyder regardless of how he spends his money--period.
those fans have to be licking their chops, while Andy and his peanut gallery are still sitting there with their thumbs up their ass waiting for an important player to come to them begging to be a part of this almighty organization.
Denver will flip flop first-round picks with Washington if the taterskins' finish with a worse record than the Broncos this season and thus have a higher pick. The Broncos would also get Washington's third-round pick in that scenario.
If Washington finishes with a better record than Broncos this season the teams will keep their first-round picks and the Broncos will receive the taterskins' third- and fourth-round picks.
Terrible trade by Washington.
So if the Broncos win the Super Bowl, and the Skins get the 1st pick...they switch?
"Terrible trade by Washington."
how do you figure? Its called realizing you have a shot. they feel like they will win the division. you make the neccessary moves regardless of "future swapping". their trying to win a god damn superbowl--hear that Joe
Wow, that is really an idiotic trade by the taterskins.
Come on. The Skins got an underacheiving backup RB for two or three draft picks. It's a great trade.
one day most of you will realize that the skins OWN the salary cap and can sign whoever they want to make up for any draft pick they trade away
The salary cap is a myth perpetuated by Paul Tagliabue and Jeffrey Lurie to keep the Philly fan down.

The taterskins don't need Duckett. A 3rd and 4th or a 3rd plus a swap of firsts is way too much for a team that needs Duckett. With Betts and Portis, the taterskins certainly don't qualify, but they clearly have no problem selling away their future. Duckett has never produced up to expectations.
The trade was incorrectly reported originally.
BEFORE: If Washington has a worse record than Denver, the teams swap 1sts
NOW: If Denver has a worse record than Washington, the teams swap 1sts
So if the Skins do better than the Broncos they will then get a better draft pick in the first round? How the farg did they swing that? I don't really see that happening, but still. What the farg?
hmm....hold on a sec....where did I see that? That doesn't make sense...
Basically, the trade ensures that Washington has the better pick, right?

they are obviously worried about Portis' health for the long run of the season. with those 2 backs they can carry the load--more-so Betts who is a good RB. would you rather lose Portis to an injury during the season and just have Betts, or would you rather have the essential back up to Betts as well? Sounds smart to me
"but they clearly have no problem selling away their future."
weve been saying this for how long now each year and look what they are able to pull off?

QuoteBased on the two teams' finish in the upcoming season the Broncos, at best, could end up with the taterskins' first- and third-round picks in the 2007 draft if the taterskins finish with a worse record than the Broncos.
In that scenario the Broncos and taterskins would flip-flop first-round picks with Denver moving up and the taterskins moving down. The Broncos would then get the taterskins third-round pick as well.
If the taterskins finish with a better record than the Broncos, Denver gets the taterskins' third- and fourth-round picks next April.
OK, nevermind.....it's back to what was originally reported...
So if Washington collapses and finishes with a top 10 pick, they'll lose it to Denver...
OK that makes a lot more sense. For Denver.
Yea...and Washington will suck this year. Who knows how Denver will do, but surely this trade will end up sucking for the Skins.
OHMYGOD!
WASHINGTON GOT TJ DUCKETT!
Please.
Spare me the "realizing they have a shot" crap too.
Also, Duckett is a UFA after 2006.
So the taterskins traded a 3rd round pick for a guy who will likely walk away via free agency. Would he sign there knowing that Portis is the man? Not likely because he wanted more carries in ATL and wasn't getting them behind Warrick Dunn.
This also could be a good indicator of how Portis' shoulder is coming along - not good.
Ladell Betts is a guy who Al Saunders really likes. They also have Rock Cartwright in the RB mix too. I would guess that Cartwright is the odd man out here.
But if they for whatever reason think Betts is the odd man out - I'd bring him in.
Betts and Cartwright are both solid. Frankly, I'm not laughing at the Skins, because I'm just downright confused.
It's like they have to find excuses to lessen the burden of their college scouts every year.
again the skins dont care about the draft they prefer to build thru FA and trades for players that are more proven than the unknown that coems with draft picks...
portis - lloyd - randel el - carter - duckett - griffin - washington - archuletta
thats a pretty good young group of players they have aquired by those means
and its not as if they havent drafted guys as well...
campbell - cooley - taylor - rogers - mcintosh - betts - samuels - jansen
some real nice players there and some prospects....not much different from most other teams
its just a different philosophy...the taterskins realize that the salary cap is a myth perpetuated by owners who dont wanna spend money
The taterskins gave up a third round draft pick for nothing more than an insurance policy.
Brilliant.
Pointing and laughing... :-D
The taterskins gave up a third round draft pick for nothing more than an insurance policy.
what are the chances that third round pick would have a produced a better player than duckett...or what are the chances that they go out and sign a player this offseason who is better than whoever that third round pick would have been...not to mention duckett is only 25 so he basically was a draft pick
would you rather have chris gocong or tj duckett on the eagles right now?
Why would you compare Gocong & Duckett? Oh, I know... that was your way of making a point. It's a stupid way to make a point, though.
How about we compare another 3rd round draft pick to Duckett? Hmmm... now, who was a third round draft pick who plays the same position as Duckett?
Oh, yeah... I got one...
(http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writers/don_banks/01/27/top.five.coaches.part2/p1_westbrook_motd.jpg)
The move still baffles me. Ladell Betts and Rock Cartwright are both bigger backs who have done well when given opportunities. I simply don't see Duckett as a significant upgrade over either of them.
Snyder = fantasy football owner.
Simple as that.
Him and his boy Vinny Cerrato collect names.
basically snyder saw a name player was available got excited and overpaid for him to be an insurance policy to portis...much the same way that the eagles need one for westbrook...did he overpay yes....did he solidify and improve a position yes
How about we compare another 3rd round draft pick to Duckett? Hmmm... now, who was a third round draft pick who plays the same position as Duckett?
that wouldnt be fair because westbrook is the exception to the rule in the third round...my point is do you want to take a chance on a 23 year old third rounder that might be good one day but probably wont....or do you want a 25 year old proven nfl player...ill take the latter everytime
I think it is a very good move by the skins. Betts is pretty good but has really struggled with injuries and with Portis already hurt with a shoulder that could be problematic all year, it was a smart move. I also think it is Betts last year of his contract and Duckett will be their future. Portis has racked up a lot of mileage in Denver and Washington and rotating with Duckett should extend his career.
Smart move for Denver. I question Atlanta in this trade. They need a #3 WR but pick up a WR who doesn't seem to fit their system and they only have for the remainder of his contract, which is this year. Plus, they are now depending on the rookie Norwood to back-up Dunn. Very curious for a team that depends on the run.
The Falcons' best RB touches the ball on every offensive play anyway.
i don't see how anyone can say lelie doesn't fit the falcons system. even though vick isn't that great of a pocket passer, he has a cannon for an arm. which would fit lelie perfect. you go run as far as you can and i'll throw it deep.
I also think it is Betts last year of his contract and Duckett will be their future.
i cant see duckett finally getting out of dunns shadow only to sign with a team who would use him as a back up....he wants to start and even if he cant find that somewhere in the league he can certainly find a team who has a less entrenched and not as good starting rb as portis
Davis with no knees = TJ Duckett
And I'm no fan of Davis at this point.
Both averaged 3.1 YPC last year.
Duckett was getting the rep of being a Hoyda because he tippy toed through holes and id not hit them hard. He ran like Dunn despite being built like Bettis.
yeah but he avgs 4 yards for his career....he had an off year last year...but is now playing for a starting job in the league next year....its a good acuisition that the skins again overpaid for
i still think of duckett as a great RB because the first thing i think of is him totally dominating penn state in his senior year.

I was at that game in East Lansing. MSU builds a 28-0 lead. PSU comes back to tie, then is driving for the win... when TE John Gilmore fumbles it back to MSU, leaving them just enough time to drive down the field for another Duckett TD. The annoucer yelled "T.J. T.D.!" every time he scored, and it sucked.
ha, i used to be good buddies with gilmore, he went to high school with me.
Well, kick him in the nuts for me if you ever see him again.
last I heard he was the 3rd TE for the Bears. not sure if he's still there.
Yes, he is.
So, will the skins be cutting Betts or Cartwright?
no way they cut betts
QuoteBroncos send Lelie to Atlanta in 3-way deal
By Jeff Legwold, Rocky Mountain News
August 22, 2006
Broncos wide receiver Ashley Lelie got his wish Tuesday night as did the Broncos.
Lelie wanted a change of scenery and has gotten one as Denver was part of a three-way trade with the Washington taterskins and the Atlanta Falcons. In the end the Falcons ended up with Lelie, the Broncos have the potential to get the taterskins' first- and third-round draft picks and the taterskins got running back T.J. Duckett.
Denver will receive Washington's first- and third-round picks if the taterskins' finish with a worse record than the Broncos this season and thus have a higher pick. If Washington finishes with a better record than Broncos they will then get the taterskins' third- and fourth-round picks.
The trade was completed Tuesday night as the three teams agreed to the terms.
For Lelie it means he finally gets back on the field after vowing he would not play for the Broncos again if he didn't have to. He has been upset at the prospect of being the "No. 3 receiver with the Broncos and nothing more'' after the team traded for, and then signed long-term, wide receiver Javon Walker.
Lelie had not attended any of the Broncos offseason workouts and had not attended training camp. The team had fined Lelie $14,000 a day, a total that reached $322,000 for training camp alone as of Monday's practice.
The Broncos players had Tuesday off.
Lelie was also fined just over $11,000 for missing the team's mandatory minicamp in July. It was unclear early Tuesday night if Lelie will have to pay the fine to the Broncos or if it was waived as part of the trade.
QuoteDenver will flip flop first-round picks with Washington if the taterskins' finish with a worse record than the Broncos this season and thus have a higher pick. The Broncos would also get Washington's third-round pick in that scenario.

QuoteBroncos | Team could swap first-round picks with Washington
Tue, 22 Aug 2006 20:17:35 -0700
Correcting a previous report, the Denver Broncos could swap first-round picks with the Washington taterskins as part of the three-team deal involving former Broncos WR Ashley Lelie. If the Broncos finish with a better record than the taterskins, Denver would receive the taterskins' third-round pick and they would flip-flop first-round picks. If the taterskins finish with a better record than the Broncos, Denver would receive the taterskins' third- and fourth-round picks in the 2007 NFL Draft.
There is absolutely no reason to not laugh your ass off at the taterskins.

It might be tough for them to find a taker. Teams know that if Betts were worth trading for, the skins wouldn't have needed to trade two picks for Duckett. The skins will have to cut him if they don't want to hold him on the 53.

Jason LaCanfora's (WT writer) blog on the Duckett trade:
Quote3) I can't imagine Ladell or Rock is going to be pleased with this, for what it's worth, and I wonder how Mike Sellers will feel, too. I found out about the trade around 8:30 last night when I happened to be in mid-conversation with an agent for one of the running backs or fullbacks on the roster. The agent's phone beeped, it was his client from the taterskins' backfield calling in, and this player was fuming, damn near irate, after just being told by a team official that Duckett was coming here. That's how I got the story, with other details coming in throughout the night. Sellers gave the Skins a Pro Bowl season last year, was set for a lot of short-yardage and goal line work, and that's Duckett's specialty. Rock is a stud on special teams, but that might not be enough to stick around on the final 53-man roster, and Nemo Broughton is a goner, like so many other recent draft picks ( another reason I can see why the team is so willing to part with future draft picks to make trades).
ES is buzzing with speculation as to who the pissed off player is. Most think Ladell Betts...
anyways, here is Bubba9497 (Art's second in command on the dickbag chart) take on it:
QuoteGibbs will smooth over any hurt feelings, I honestly doubt it will change anything for Betts, or Rock. Maybe Sellers will get less carries than he hoped, but he has had only 1 carry in 2 years and almost fumbled that one so it can't be a huge surprise that the Skins looked for a short yardage back.
don't forget which paper the writer writes for..... a happy situation isn't as juicy as hinting a major player is unhappy, and there is dissension in the ranks

I've gotten away from arguing on the internet, as I don't have the commitment, time, energy nor desire to keep up a meaningless argument over unproveable points of view. I wish I cared enough to though, after reading the utter bullshtein that has been permeating the Skins forums:

You've been an enabler recently. I hardly know your posts. :'(
Again - I think Duckett is a great complement to Portis... I just wonder how Betts and/or Cartwright fell so far out of favor. Betts seems to run all over the Eagles, and I'd scoop him up with teh quickness if they cut him.
I've heard that they've stopped letting the coaching angel touch them before practice. And before games. Before they get dressed after whirlpool therapy. In bed. At the movies...
So, if Washington has ab ad year and loses more then Denver, Denver and Washington swap picks? :-D
Okay, if the Eagles don't win the Super Bowl, I'm officially rooting for the taterskins to finish with the worst record in the league and Denver to win it all. :-D
Why are the taterskins and thier fans so stupid.
Oh, my buddy's skins fan friend told him the following tidbit of info today:
"Your D might be able to stop Portis. They might be able to stop Duckett. But they can't stop them both!"
I guess Gibbs and Saunders have been working on a play where they each get a ball and run up the field.
Gibbs asked the NFL to allow some of his players to score even without the ball. Since the NFL knows it owes every penny its ever made to Coach Gibbs, it happily obliged.
That's all part of their plan to get their QB of the future on the field while keeping Brunell out there to tutor him. Pure genius.
True. Let's not forget he's the only coach to rest his starters and play a lot of backups in the pre-season.
The man is always two steps ahead.
Stop insulting him. He's no less than 47 steps ahead.
When he's walking backwards.
Well, you figure that he's no mere man, so he takes really big steps. Two Gibbs steps is at least 50 human steps.
I stand corrected. I forgot to do the math to convert and wrongly assumed you meant 2 human steps.
It's a natural mistake.

Many of the ES'ers are suggesting that Genius Al fomulate a formation that includes Portis, Duckett and Betts lined up in the backfield. Then Portis and Betts will motion out to flanker positions and join the other WR in the formation leaving Duckett in the backfield.
According to them this will be unstoppable.
They also believe that the Eagles defense will not be able to handle those two and that chode Bubba says Bunkley is a bust and will never amount to anything because he was pushed around by BAL's 4th string OL (he was?).
If "pushed around" means muscling the center and guard into the QB's grill, then yeah... he was pushed around.
Well, if anyone can identify a 1st round bust, it should be a skins fan.
How's that Jason Campbell coming along? Is he ahead or behind Todd Collins on the depth chart?
Quite literally carrying players into the QB. Yeah, he was really beaten up out there.
But Bubba posted screen shots proving him point! Screen shots, man!!
Just like he did when his panties were in a bunch a few years ago when he said Dawk in NO WAY DID NOT intecerpt Patrick Ramsey!!
I'd like to read about him and Art along with a few others getting mauled by angry ninjas.
Is he posting screenshots with lines and circles drawn all over them yet? Those are the best.
Ninjas don't get angry, silly. The ability to keep emotion in check is key to real ultimate power.
They get pretty upset if you kill their master.
Yes. He posted a screen shot to try to prove he did not edit a post of his. He drew circles and arrows and everything else. When he was called a liar by an Eagles fan the Eagles fan was banned and the ES idiots told Bubba how bad he o\/\/n3D!! him.

Seriously though - I heard that someone did knock him out during a tailgate either last year or the year before. I wonder if they have a rap video made up about that one?

Does Duckett Create Logjam for taterskins?
By JOSEPH WHITE , 08.23.2006, 09:17 PM
T.J. Duckett crashed the Washington taterskins running back party Wednesday, arriving as part of a three-team trade that surprised his new teammates and raised plenty of questions.
Is there more to Clinton Portis' injury than the taterskins are letting on? Have they given up on Ladell Betts? Is Rock Cartwright correct in calling the trade "a slap in the face?"
Coach Joe Gibbs addressed them all Wednesday once Duckett has passed his physical and the complex trade was officially completed.
"Those guys have very valuables roles for us," Gibbs said. "And they're very valuable to our football team."
Duckett, who led Atlanta with eight rushing touchdowns last year on only 380 yards, was acquired from the Falcons in a deal that sent receiver Ashley Lelie from Denver to Atlanta and a draft pick from the taterskins to the Broncos.
Washington will give Denver the equivalent value of a 2007 third-round selection, based on a points system used by NFL teams. The arrangement opens the door for multiple alternatives involving the teams' picks - they could swap picks in the first round, for example - but the exact compensation won't be determined until next offseason.
The unloading of another draft pick reinforces the taterskins' win-now mission in the third year of Gibbs' comeback from retirement.
Still, running back was near the bottom of any taterskins prospective shopping list when training camp opened 3 1/2 weeks ago. Portis ran for 1,516 yards last year, Betts was considered a back who could start for many other teams, and the compact Cartwright could be expected to pound a carry or two in short yardage.
But Portis partially dislocated his shoulder making a tackle following an interception in the preseason opener against Cincinnati. Gibbs said Portis is "ahead of schedule" to return in time for the Sept. 11 regular-season opener against Minnesota, but the trade for Duckett offers some insurance in case Portis has a setback or if the shoulder proves troublesome later in the year.
"The fact that Clinton got nicked there causes some concerns," Gibbs said. "It probably causes you to think. But there certainly wasn't a panic to do something. But when T.J.'s name came up, we felt it was something we needed to research."
Betts, meanwhile, missed the Cincinnati game and several days of practice with a nagging hamstring injury, causing uncertainty about his durability. Betts broke his arm in 2003 and missed seven games, and he sat out four last year with a sprained knee.
Nonetheless, Betts felt his position as the No. 2 back behind Portis was secure. Asked for his reaction to the trade, Betts said: "I don't understand it. But it's a business, and it is what it is."
Then there's Cartwright, who expected to get carries as a short-yardage back this season, the very role in which Duckett excels. Cartwright said he was shocked by the trade.
"It's kind of like a slap in the face, but it's a business," Cartwright said. "They had to do a business deal, and that's the way they wanted to go."
Gibbs responded by saying he had "good conversations" on Tuesday night with Betts and Cartwright about the trade. He also said he expects Portis, Duckett, Betts and Cartwright all to be on the final 53-man roster, negating rumors that Betts could be traded.
"We think we've got very good backs," Gibbs said. "(The trade) has nothing to do with them. It gives us a chance to add somebody we think is a real good football player."
Uh-oh.
Duckett looks like Corey Simon in that pic
Did anyone check out those myspace pages??? Besides the fact that they are clowns, the President's girlfriend is pretty hideous too.

Clearly.
You need to gameplan for a guy that makes the circus catch and drops the easy ones.
Gameplan : Let him get wide open.
You need to gameplan for a guy that has never had over 47 catches in his career, but is a good punt returner.
Gameplan : Put Hood on him, and punt him the ball.
You need to gameplan for a goal line FB and goal line RB.
Gameplan : Practice goal line situations. Because no one ever does that.
You need to gameplan for a TE that averages 20 catches a year, going on his 13th year in the league.
You need to gameplan for the 3rd RB and 4th WR.

Obviously. Did you see that play on MNF where he tackled Michael Pittman, ripped the ball out while tackling, saved Gibbs from a burning building (when he didnt even need saving), then ran 93 yards for the TD? Easily the best play in history.
I saw that play. I saw the replay. I saw the super slow motion replay where the announcers drew all over the screen. I heard him explain it in his own words after the game.
Gibbs was doing calastetics with his team today. What a great coach showing he's part of the team.
He's one of the most fit coaches in the league. He ran a 4.7 40 yard dash.
c'mon....every defense should be afraid of Mike Sellers. Look what he did to our awful defense last year in 2 games:

QuoteQuoting that the Eagles were 23rd in defense in order to make your argument is perhaps one of the most rediculous statements of all time. Last year, there was no Darrin Howard. They have added a @1 draft pick on that defensive line who will help immediately. Jevon Kearse is very healthy and out to make a point. They looked great against the World champ Pittsburg Steelers and in fact shut them out in the first quarter with the first string defnese in.
The Eagles are going to be awesome of defense whether you want to believe it or not, espeically since they won't be going 3 and out all the time......like last year when that defense finished 23rd..... as you say.
Every year we hear the same things from homers, and yet every year we have to rely on the blitz just to pressure the passer. Cornerbacks rushing the passer are nice, but then who is covering the receivers? Thats the problem with not having a pass rushing defensive line, and the Eagles and Cowboys and Giants can all do that. We can't, until somebody proves otherwise.

Had a draft today where a skins fan predictably busted out the "How many Super Bowls do you have?" argument when we made fun of him for taking Antwaan Randle-El before Brandon Lloyd or even Chris Cooley were taken.
Hey now, Randel El had like 35 catches last year, he's a fantasy stud!
C'mon man... Brunell/Collins/Campbell can that is incredibly accurate get a ton more TD's out of Randel El than the one that Roethlisberger got out of him last year.
My point is simply that skins fans are so stupid that they can't even be homertastic correctly.

I wish I could watch their game tonight, as it looks like they're getting smoked.
Pats are up 10-0 in the 1st & this is how the Skins drives have gone so far:
08:29 1 01:56 WAS 28 6 22 Punt
05:02 1 01:42 WAS 24 3 3 Incomplete Pass
According to the Saunders, they're using less than 2% of their offense in the preseason. Regardless of these being "practice" games, if they can't execute the 2%, Skins fans may want to be a little more concerned about their offense.

Their game thread is funny.
It starts off with them saying how they will see a different team tonight because the starters will play the first half and that will allow them to get their timing down pat. They talk about how this is like a regular season game.
fast forward to the current time and every other post is a reminder that this is just the PS and that Coach Saunders, Coach Gibbs and Coach Williams are playing vanilla to keep it under wraps and my favorite - the REMEMBER THE 1991 PRESEASON battle cry. :-D

QuoteThe taterskins just upgraded their rb pool, and I'd say they're not done yet. Waiver wire pick-ups for depth are likely in the works.
Our defense is unmatched.
We know have arguably, the best trio of WRs on any NFCE team, the best running backs, the best offensive line, one of the best qbs, and proven TEs that are the envy of the league.
And we have a HOF coach, the best D coach, and one of the best offensive minds currently in the game. Our stable of assistant coaches can't be touched.
Unlike other NFCE teams, we're not relying on a rookie to have a huge year.
I'm not saying we'll win it all, but we'll be damned tough to beat.
I like how he leaves his claim somewhat open-ended, which narrows the window for bitch-slapping him should the taterskins finish with a losing record, but lose a couple close games. You would think with the All-World coaching staff & roster, he wouldn't have to hedge his bets. :-D

Another quote from Gibbs.
"Its a tough time, I like being in a tough time with these guys".
Gibbs, the master motivator, with less time on his hands concerned with X's and O's, has he developed the ultimate motivational plan?
That plan, of course, is to take the lumps, the pains of losing now, when it doesn't count. Let all those high expectations of the off-season die at the waist side. Make the team understand that they have to take this one game at a time, one week at a time, one practice at a time. Get into the minds of the players that this is the NFL, where EVERYONE is good. He was able to turn his team around last year, he's always been known for his strong finishes.
Is the preseason the beginning of the end? Is it time to finish? Yes, yes it is. I for one feel very sorry for the Minnesota Vikings. Anyone that follows this team KNOWS mentally and with their heart that this team is not this bad and simply CANNOT be this outclassed.
In short, this is a facade, a masterful one at that. One that even allowed for a blocked field goal. Gibbs is weeding out the quitters from the champions, and those that remain will taste the spoils of victory!
I'm embarassed for them. :'(

Game. Set. Match.
Points by taterskins: 0
Total trips to redzone: 1
Those pointing and laughing: Many.
41-0. Pats. Awesomeness.
Coach Gibbs toyfully played with the Pats confidence all game, allowing them to accumulate
30 first downs in in the game versus only 8 for the Skins.
He's not only a Coaching Angel and a Master Motivator, but a Manipulator of Emotions!
He's a sick, sick savior.
Go read the Washington Post today--among the problems:
1)Brunell has yet to feel comfortable with "The Genius'" (I called him the "The Savior" in another post--but I forgot, that's Gibbs' title) offense and has a 45.8 QB rating.
2)They have no quality depth on either side of the ball on the lines--it really shows on the defense with Daniels, Griffin and now Wynn out.
3)Thy have questionable depth in the secondary. Springs is out for a while.
4)The depth behind Brunell is truly more than questionable--Jason Campbell and Todd Collins have yet to show anything.
5)Betts and Cartwirght (no matter what Gibbs says) are not happy at all with the acquisition of Duckett.
I know it's only preseason, however, there seem to be a whole lot of questions and not too many answers.
Sean Taylor is the answer to everything.

QuoteI remember reading in (Friday's?) Post that Al Saunders said that in the Preseason he likes to stretch his team force all his players to do what they can't do well to see what their limits are. Well, we saw what they can't do well. Now in the regular season all we have to do is not do that. Much of the problems will be negated when the blocking schemes are geared to the specific defenses we're facing. I still have confidence.
Saunders is putting our offense in the worst positions possible to see how and where players will shine. Yesterday just happened to be a piece of coal.
Oh, man. This just continues from what BM posted earlier. These dopes actually believe that the staff is doing this on purpose! :-D

Come on, Phreak, don't you believe that Reid is whacking Pinkston in the ankle with a tire iron before each pre-season game so that they don't show the rest of the NFL that not only is Pinkston back, he is faster and better than before.

Apparently thumb injuries prevent you from running and staying in shape:
QuoteI don't think Jansen is back in game shape yet from his 3 offseason thumb surgeries. He better put some work in quick over the next 2 weeks because we have no depth there.
Kearse and Co. are going to kill them this season.
QuoteI'm going to post my specific observations from the Pats' game. I encourage you to do the same.
What this thread is NOT for is "taterskins suck" "2% of the playbook" "OL was awful". You have the rest of the board for that stuff.
I want to keep this thread as a safe haven for calm, rational observations and discussion. Again, if you just want to let off steam do it somewhere else; we'll be busy talking about last night's game in this thread.
Defense
- The first team defense was less than vanilla. The first few drives were very basic concepts with little, if any, disguise. Most plays by the first team defense had 4 rushers and either a simple zone or man-zone behind it. I'd guess about 75% of the defensive calls were like this. If you watched the Baltimore scrimmage it looked a lot, and I mean a lot, like 7-on-7 passing skeleton drills.
- When first team did blitz, it was a telegraphed bring the house blitz that left defenders on islands. Brady made some pretty good throws to beat it about half the time
- Even in basic schemes, the first team Run D looked fine even without Griffin and Daniels
- Holdman might know his assignments and even be in the right place, but he doesn't seem to have a good feel for the game. He seems to put his head on the wrong side of blockers allowing some runs and gets blocked out of the play
- What Holdman lacks in feel, Rocky sure has in spades. Rocky also made a nice hustle play to stop a long gain.
- Jeff Posey looks like an outstanding pickup; he's certain to make the roster. If the taterskins were looking to play their top 3 LBs I think it would be Washington, Marshall, and Posey.
- Cedric Killings made a nice penetrating play on the goal-line. He was getting some snaps with the starters, so it's pretty clear he's being looked at hard
- Reed Doughty made a very nice play on the forced fumble by poking at the ball while tackling; that's the sort of thing Williams loves. Of course, later on in the game he takes a bad angle on a run/comes up out of control and allows a big run. =\
Offense
- I don't know how anyone that was watching the game last night didn't pick this up. It was pretty obvious that the taterskins were working on something in the passing game. First, the taterskins ran a lot, and I mean a lot, of minimum protection. Of 18 first half passing plays, they had only 3 plays where more than 5 players were kept in to block.
Second, they weren't changing protection schemes to audible for blitz protections. You could see Brunell recognizing blitz but he never audibled to keep a back in to block instead of running a meaningless flat route. It's pretty clear this was by design.
Third, Brunell wasn't getting rid of the ball fast enough for this plan. I would say that of the sacks he took, he had an opportunity to throw the ball but didn't. Note Brunell lovers, that's not to say he's terrible, but this was a pretty extreme circumstance and he didn't adjust as well as he could have. But it's not the performance that matters, but the experience of Brunell having gone through it.
- I only caught one instance of motion tonight; on the ARE reverse, Moss motioned back across the formation to the reverse side
- Todd Collins doesn't seem to have a very good sense for pressure; Tyson Walter pushed the DE 10 yards behind the LOS and Collins couldn't step up into the pocket; When Collins did sense the pass rush he took his eyes off the receivers
- Campbell made a nice checkdown on his first pass
- The taterskins were making sure Campbell had some time to throw by keeping some TE's and RB's in. It's pretty clear the taterskins had different plans for Brunell and Campbell
- Campbell seemed to make the right reads by not throwing into double coverage, but still seems slow on his reads and not quite as fluid as he was as a senior at Auburn; It looks like he's destined to be the #3 based on how much emphasis Saunders places on how fast a QB can read a defense and how fast a QB can get rid of the ball.
My takeaway from the game from these observations
- Al Saunders wanted to see Brunell make some really quick reads and throws. I think that's the most logical explanation for the overwhelming majority of 3 step drops with only 5 blockers.
Since Saunders places such a great emphasis on getting rid of the ball quickly, perhaps it was to give Brunell a better feel for getting rid of the ball during normal situations. For example, a baseball batter will often swing a heavier bat in the on-deck circle when he's warming up in order for his regular bat to feel much lighter when in the batter's box.
I have a feeling that's what was going on here. Saunders wanted Brunell to really get a sense of pressure so when it comes 9/11 and the Skins keep a back into block or make a protection audible, Brunell will feel like he has all day to throw. This makes sense to me since Brunell got a little jumpy last year with pressure.
- Gregg Williams clearly had some things he wanted to see. I would guess he wanted to see how well his DL could pressure the QB by itself (answer: not very well) and how some of his DBs could cover in a zone or on an island against one of the best QBs in a league. Missing were all the exotic zone-blitzes and disguises we've come to love from Williams or even the taterskins best pass rusher, Marcus Washington, blitzing much at all. He knows what his players' strengths are (e.g. Washington not blitzing that much), but he wanted to see the extent of his players' weaknesses without the help of scheme (e.g. Archuleta playing a lot of cover 2 zone).
He's mentioned this earlier this pre-season when he talked about strengths and weaknesses of players. Every player has weaknesses he said, and I guess that he wanted to see them and try to expose them as much as he could tonight.
- Here's my wild, conspiracy-theory speculation. Gibbs, Saunders, and Williams all wanted to evaluate personnel tonight more than anything and saw a golden opportunity while doing so to have New England knock this team down a notch or two in order to make them insanely hungry for Minnesota.
After a playoff season last year and some big acquisitions this year, I think Gibbs wanted to guard against overconfidence. Especially when overconfidence when it isn't warratned is one of the taterskins' biggest enemies historically (call it Norvitis if you wish). This is the kind of beating that Gibbs knows will drive this team to work harder than it has at any point this off-season and be as prepared as possible for Minnesota.
:puke :puke
Get your team's collective hindquarters kicked while intentionally leaving your QB to get killed.
So... angelic?
That shtein is unreal. I don't know how it is even possible to be that deluded. Its one thing to be a homer it is another thing entirely to be intentionally retarded.
We need some still pics of the 'skins doing pre-snap motion, the randle-el reverse, and pulling offensive linemen. Even Bubba can't dispute that.

According to Al Saunders, they only have used about 2% of the 700 page playbook.
According to Joe Gibbs, there is NO OTHER team he would want to fight with than THIS team...
According to the coaches, they wanted to put the players in situations that they typically wouldn't be to see how they react to a tough situation and see what they are made of... This can ONLY help during the SEASON...
THIS will give them a wake up call for the Regular Season!! Be ready to be AWAKENED!!
Be ready to be AWAKENED!! In the name of the Gibbs, the Saunders and the holy Williams. :-D
Know what these fools fail to realize? Gibbs said that he demanded more after the lifeless Jets whupped them last week. He said the team would be ready to go and challenged them to get better.
Then they go out and get beat 41-0
It's hard for me to grasp that there are actually people this stupid.

While reading the Dallas board I see that 99% of their board is TO stuff. And on ES 99% of the posts on the front page are people saying how it's just pre-season, how Gibbs will have em ready and how they all feel sorry for the Vikings because that 98% of Big Al's playbook which they haven't sniffed yet will make errrrything all right.
QuoteI just logged on this morning to see the majority of this board and community calling for Brunell's head. It sucks to say, but sometimes I'm embarassed to be a taterskins fan. Do you people not realize that Saunders wanted to put the players in evaluative positions tonight, and it was more of a practice for the skins and not a real game? If you're going to complain about Brunell, then complain about Santana dropping the underthrown ball, or the O-line. I'll be avoiding this place like the plague until Sept. 11
QuoteOne thing that needs to be pointed out... this is not Norv Turner's team, so the team will be prepared come 9/11/06. This is not Spurrier's team, so winning in the preseason means jack crap. This is Gibbs's team, and he's got a staff of ubber qualified coaches under him. Keep the faith...Go SKINS!
QuoteGibbs / Saunders are both still being very vanilla. There is a method to their madness.
DO NOT WORRY.
I didn't see any running plays where the o-line pulled or trapped, there were no sweeps, no screen plays to the RB's or WR's. I'm not concerned. I think that come Monday night against the Vikings they will show more of what they have been practicing during camp and the purple people eaters wont know what hit them because they will not have seen anything to have allowed them to prepare.
I FOR ONE AM NOT CONCERNED.
QuoteCount me in
All I keep remember are these #s:

Winning a preseason game is like finding $5 in your pocket, you think "Great!!" until you realize you can't even cover lunch with it. That being said, the lack of overall execution by the Skins so far is being downplayed by the master brain at ES.com by saying that the years Gibbs won their SBs, they had losing preseasons.
Those who can't see this obvious pattern are considered to "not know what they are looking at" & are candidates for being culled from the ranks of the taterskin illuminati. Anyway, I found the preseason results for those years, though can't make any determinations of the performance of the starters.

I actually saw some of this game being down in Maryland over the weekend at this ridiculous lake house my rich Jewish friend has. I thoroughly enjoyed making sarcastic comments about the taterskins that no one found funny except for me at The Crab Shack. Praise Gibbs.
From the "ask Dan Snyder" thread;
QuoteI've gotten to the point I hate to bring my kids anymore because of the foul language, rude comments and just plain rude behavior of these fans. I wish their were a hotline or some means to report this and deal with the situation. Especially the Raven and Eagles fans. Because of the fights last year, I'm affraid to bring my family to this years Eagle game.
QuoteI second this request. The usher in my section does a great job of handling unruly fans, but his job would be much easier with the existence of such a hotline and its advertisement as a deterrent to unruly behavior.
I also agree that the Eagles game is very stressful because of the Eagles (fans)?

Mr. Snyder,
There have been several discussion on ExtremeSkins over the past year or so about the taterskins band. Some ideas we've discussed include: new uniforms, expanding their number, moving the band more in the direction of a drum corps and giving them more time on the field to entertain. What are your thoughts?
Quote
Mr. Snyder,
Thanks for taking time to chat with the fans of the taterskins.
Is it possible to air one or two fewer commercials during TV timeouts during the game and instead show a short video clip of all time great taterskins moments or great plays from the last several home games to pump up the fans and provide the taterskins with a little more home field advantage?
The "measures" these clowns are taking to "improve home field advantage" crack me up. How about not selling your tickets to opposing fans? How about showing up to the games? Know what is going on during the game? Nah. You need old video clips and a retractable dome. That'll fix it. Toolbags.

QuoteProtect and serve: Line was up to the challenge
By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff | August 28, 2006
FOXBOROUGH -- When a team sends an extra rusher more than 50 percent of the time, as the taterskins did Saturday night against the Patriots' first-unit offense, the challenge to protect the quarterback can be immense.
Yet the Patriots came up aces in this category in their 41-0 victory, as Tom Brady wasn't sacked, and absorbed only a few hits.
``Washington gives you some tough situations to block, so it was good for us," said coach Bill Belichick. ``We got a lot of good looks."
With Brady under center, the Patriots attempted 33 passes, including three plays in which pass interference was called. The taterskins brought extra rushers 17 times, going 14 times with five rushers and once each with six, seven, and eight rushers.
The team's top six offensive linemen -- left tackle Matt Light, left guard Logan Mankins, centers Dan Koppen and Russ Hochstein, right guard Stephen Neal, and right tackle Ryan O'Callaghan -- fended off the charge while also receiving help from the running backs and tight ends.
``Blitz pickup is such a team thing," Belichick said. ``There is a lot of coordination that has to happen, just from a blocking standpoint."
Several of the Patriots' biggest offensive plays by the first team came against the blitz, as Corey Dillon's 39-yard screen pass was against a six-man rush and Brady connected with Troy Brown for a 13-yard strike in the face of a seven-man rush. The connection with Brown set up Benjamin Watson's 6-yard touchdown reception, when Watson initially stayed in to block before releasing as the taterskins rushed eight players.
Even on the few occasions rushers did get to Brady, the Patriots still had success. Normally reliable Kevin Faulk missed one second-quarter assignment, but before Brady was knocked to the ground he found Watson over the middle for a 35-yard hookup.
Brady praised the offensive front after the game.
``Every challenge that gets thrown at them, they take it," he said. ``The pass protection was great. I love having those guys out there in front of me."
The 'skins fans responses:
QuoteDon't even bother to read anything Bill Belichick says. He's the guy who's taken Joe Gibbs' bullspit, say nothing of any value to the media, philosophy and turned it into an artform. The Patriots could play a Jr. High School team and Belichick would make them out to be the Steel Curtain Defense the week before the game.
QuoteWe did blitz corners and safeties often, but the blitzes were telegraphed and there were only a couple fake blitzes. This makes the blitz pick-up much easier (not sure if our line could pick them up, but that is another story).
I am not sure if we were intentionally tipping our hand, or if Brady's cadence made our guys show the blitzes too early. Kenny wright was especially bad at showing his blitz, but Taylor did it a couple times too.
QuoteYeah, Im pretty sure that we were telegraphing them on purpose. I remember a string of plays where (I think it was) Prioleau showed his blitz 2 or 3 times in a row. Like, on consecutive plays.
ALSO
NE was running a no-huddle for a large portion of the game. This, combined with our telegraphing, made it very easy for them to get all their bases covered. They did a very good job, but it was not a situation that they would likely encounter in real games.
QuoteThe other big thing was, did anyone notice our coverage on blitzes?
The secondary was in a zone, which made it so easy for Brady to find Watson
And there were no adjustments made either
Good news, the Pats could never run the ball when they tried
In a row on consecutive plays?
Unprecedented stupidity. I almost cannot believe the level of ignorance there.
Seriously.
Do they honestly think that Gregggggggggggggggggggg Williams tells his guys that "Hey, yo, listen up. We're gonna blitz but try not to make it too sneaky. Telegraph them. Show 'em what you've got so Brady can identify them in pre-snap reads."
SNAKES ON A MOTHER F'ING PLANE!!!!

Wait, now I'm confused.
taterskins cut deal with... Tom Cruise? (http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-082806cruise,0,1677604.story?coll=la-home-headlines)
QuoteTom Cruise has cut a deal with a group that includes the owner of the Washington taterskins to finance the overhead costs of his film production company, sources close to the negotiations said today.
taterskins owner Daniel M. Snyder, chairman of Six Flags Inc., is said to be a leading investor in an agreement that would give Cruise less than $3 million annually to finance staff and office expenses. In exchange, Snyder and the others will have the ability to finance movies developed by Cruise and his producing partner, Paula Wagner.
As big a dipshtein as Snyder is at owning a football team, the guy is a savvy businessman. He'll make stupid money funding Cruise films.
Earlier I read the ES thread on the Stallworth trade, and I was pleasantly surprised with the relative level of non-homerism. There were only a handful of truly ridiculous responses. Well done, skins fans.
That said, I haven't checked it since 6pm or so.

I just got back from my early evening beat off session over there and the ES.com fluffers have now turned the trade thread into a "Why Lelie is better than Stallworth" rant, in order to distract the sheep from the fact that it was a good move.
:-D :-D
Stallworth > Lloyd
Tell 'em to choke that one down, bro.
I went over and read some of what they were posting at first it was unbias and most thought it was a good pickup. Then that JRockster douche, starting going on his rant of how McNabb isn't really all that much better than Aaron Brooks. He also was saying how the Eagles fans blasted them for getting Randle-El and Lloyd, but they were definately better moves than getting Stallworth. They gave up a third for Lloyd and paid quite a bit to get Randle-El. The Eagles basically gave up nothing unless they sign him to an extension.
Brunell. Hall of fame discussion. On ES.
QuoteSo I'm filled to the brim with the preseason-jump off the cliff-the end is coming threads more than len pastabelly at an all you can eat buffet so heres something that I think is different (search function won't load so I can't use it).
While some will feel the need to bash and provide absolutely no thought to this topic i'm just throwing it out there as something different.
I was looking at Brunell's numbers and thinking about what he has done over the years (IMO Brunell, Cunningham, and S. Young helped revolutionize the running QB) If he wins a title (or two) does that put him in the HOF conversations at all?
I think he might be considered but he has to win a title or two for that to happen.
I don't care what insults, smiley face gestures, or rants are typed, but hopefully we can have some decent discussion.
Thoughts?
Well, sure... if he wins "a title or two"... which has no chance in hell (or on Earth) of happening.
Silly Skinsfan. How could he possibly win a title or two when they have the next great QB on the bench? He's obviously going to start soon. You can't leave someone that talented off the field.
Yeah, Mark Brunell is every bit as good as Randall Cunningham and even Steve Young. Definitely.

Josh Parry's only good deed...
QuoteSantana Moss said that one of the reasons that the offense is not looking very good this preseason is because they only gameplan one day a week instead every day as they do in the regular season.
Think about it if you know exactly what the other team is going to and what you as they player needs to do obviously the team will play much better.
FYI Gibbs mentioned that the team might need to gamplan more as well in his press conference on taterskins.com
You know, I love reading this stuff. Do these yahoo's not know that it has nothing to do with gameplanning? They are not even winning the one on one battles. They are not playing fundamental football. None of that shtein has to do with gameplanning. It's line up and block that guy. Cover that dude and make a tackle. that ain't happening!
So I hope these dipshteins keep up this line of thinking. I really do. The meltdown at ES could be monumental and I can't wait.

Holy shtein.

There is a 5 page thread about how Mike Golic and Marc Schlareth said the Skins would miss the playoffs. I love these people.
Those two are always out to get the Skins. They'll be sorry. They'll all be sorry!
Extremeskins - An Internet goldmine.
QuoteI watched it and smiled all the way through it. In the last several weeks our team has fallen off the Superbowl list and into the missing the playoffs list. Personally I love this. I want our team to be picked last and to prove each and every week that we are the WASHINGTON taterskinS, a team that is on the field for the fans, not the media. I am with them to the end! HTTR!
QuoteSomebody cut and paste this info on Brunell's locker.
ES'ers are big on the bulletin board material thing. Bubba & Crew always shout "someone should tell Coach Gibbs and put it in the locker room. Idiots.
QuoteTrey Wingo said today that we would win 11 games and win the division. Schlereth said we would have 8 wins. I heard it on Colin Cowherd today. I love the fact that we are no being underestimated. This is just how Coach Gibbs wants it.
By the way - their rallying cry over there is
OSAKA!!!!!
Why? Because they want everyone to remember Spurrier blowing out the 49ers and then them having a bad season despite a great preseason.
OSAKA!!!!!!

Go Skins. We very much behind you.
I can't see the skins winning any more than 9 games, and that's pushing it.
The skins offense has been hideous this preseason, and as much as you make your offense vanilla generally you have scripted 10 plays to start the game to get a feel for rhythm and to see what you have. The Skins first team has yet to score even a field goal.
I hope they keep hiding behind the "Preseason" facade, and then realize in december that their offense still sucks
It is pretty bad if Schlereth says that, he usually talks up Gibbs.
i love how all the skins fans point out how the taterskins arent using their regular season packages as if all the teams theyve played have
You should all be banned. Every post in this thread should simply read "taterskins fans on Extremeskins have no clue what they're talking about. They don't live in reality. They think they're team is a superbowl team every year. They should all be shaved and gassed."

Quotegeneric, and telegraphed, to see how Rogers did with out help
did they resemble last seaons blitzes?
Not enough?
Quotehatever.
I can't believe so many so called football fans can't see what the skins are doing in preseason.
The coaches suddenly have forgotten to coach, the line has forgotten how to block, Brunell has forgotten how to audible, the defense has forgot to disguise blitzes
this is a veteran team, that's been together for 2-3 years now, 18 of 22 starters return.. they don't need to waste time practicing what they are good at, they need to work on the weakness, and find out what each player can handle.
Jack Nicklaus always practiced his weaknesses, people said watching him practice you think he was a weekend hack, but come tournament time, he was on his game, and when he was faced having to play into his weakness, he didn't panic because he had been working on it.
Same philosophy here, Joe Gibbs cares less if panicky fans need reassurance in pre-season... screw that he is doing what he has always done to get ready for the season when he has a good team. Hide the playbook, work on weakness, put players in difficult positions to get them some experience so when it comes up during the season they will be prepared.
how many times have you seen teams tear up preseason, doing a lot of things, scoring points, only to see them have a losing regular season.
you work on your weaknesses, not try to look good, or practice what you can already do well in preseason.... the games don't count!
The whole generic and telegraphed thing cracks me
up. Those idiots really honestly think that fundamentals do not matter.
A 4-12 season from them would be delicious.
One more from an idiot:
QuoteAccording to Saunders he was putting the players in "difficult situations" to see how they would react. I guess he was testing to see if Brunell can take a hit

The funniest thing about ES is that even before they went to being the "official board of the Washington taterskins" over 90% of the active poster population there NEVER played a SINGLE DOWN of competitive football (or any other sport) in their lives. Yet they all talk like they've lived their lives on the gridiron.

Are you implying that over 90% of :CF has played a significant amount of competitive contact sports?
That might be pushing it.
I mean... I know that I, personally, was a stud black linebacker in high school and ran the 40 in under 4.3. But I don't think most of the people on the board
lie as much are as awesome as me.
It's not whether they've played the game or not, it's that they act like they're football geniuses without having ever, ever played at all. They read some draft magazines, watch ESPN's talking heads and read SI on the shteinter and think they know all the nuances of the game. It cracks me up, especially when they watch a television broadcast and call it "game film" when they have no farging idea what actual game film looks like.

While I whole-heartedly agree that a great majority of ES posters are overblown douches, I still think you are overestimating :CF. And forget-about-it if you actually factor the EMB into the equation:

First off, the EMB is about on even par with ES for me if not a notch below. That place is a cesspool.
And I wasn't talking about CF at all, I have only a slight idea who's played organized sports at some level here. The key difference, though, is that posters here don't almost universally act like they're not only disciples of the head coach, but they don't act like sanctimonious pricks when it comes to talking about the sport. Well, some do but we won't go there. ;)

I only get sanctimonious when Reid calls 8 rushing plays over the course of a game. Then its sanctimoniousness left and right. LEFT AND RIGHT, I say!
I never get sanctimonious or act like a know-it-all. I'm very humble. I learned that from saint Gibbs.

Unfortunately, they cleaned the room up. The movie was made a few years before I started going to school there. But when they rebuilt the walls you could totally tell which bricks were new and which ones were old.

You mean like this post from 2002?
QuoteI am completely at ease. Totally contented. Calm. No worries at all about this game against the Eagles. In my life I've had a handful of "feelings" about games. Feelings that just knew we would win. Many who've seen me here the last few years knows I've won bets on those feelings.
How I feel now is precisely like that. This game is in the bag is how I feel now. It's going to be a huge coming out party and Spurrier is going to put together a game plan that wins us this game by 14 or more points. I'm not, though, going to officially declare this as a "feeling" game and I won't bet it, despite the fact that it is the same feeling I've had before and has never been wrong.
I'm a huge "symbol behind the game" guy. I believe while this game is most certainly not a must-win game for the taterskins, it is probably more important than a must-win game. This is an announcement game for Spurrier and his taterskins. This game is Spurrier's first real chance to quiet everyone. In the past the taterskins have had games that could have announced they were back as a player in the league's upper echelon, but, the team has always failed.
My lingering Norvitis is all that prevents me from declaring this a dead-lock cinch. My knowledge of how some members of this team played with it all on the line a year ago prevents that. But, in my heart, this game isn't even exciting for me. The opener was nervous and exciting. I didn't know what to expect. I feared that game so very much.
This game is not inspiring worry. I have total confidence that all things being largely equal between these two teams, that Spurrier will be the edge we have not had in far too long against teams. It's very early in Spurrier's time here. A loss wouldn't be terrible or unexpected. But, Spurrier's aura is such that a loss here is inconceivable to me.
We already have more overall talent than the Eagles. They are beat up. We are at home. This is a nationally televised coming out party. The Eagles are already out. We're not. The Eagles may throttle us later in the year, or hell, even Monday. I just have this complete peace about Monday.
It's too early in the year to properly judge whether this feeling is meaningful based upon proper reads of what Spurrier and his staff are doing, or just blind Gator-inspired fan love. Perhaps it's the latter. I know Spurrier isn't going to win every big game he coaches as a pro. But, Spurrier strikes me as the guy that's going to win all of the first big games he's coaching in.
So, while this post is going to open me up to ridicule from our Philly fans should we lose, which I admit is a possibility, the fact is, I can't get my mind around the fact that every time I've had this feeling, we've won comfortably. Spurrier's taterskins are coming. They're coming Monday. You will know a whole lot more about this football team and Spurrier's time here just from his second game as a coach.
In my world where the meaning behind a game is ever crucial, this game is the most important Spurrier will coach all year. There may be more meaningful games, in terms of team placement later in the year, but this is the game that starts to mold Spurrier's legacy. And, I can't stop thinking, "It's in the bag."

Yep, I'll give credit to one of our own on there though for finding it. Here's another classic:
QuoteThe Eagles have lost four of their starting front seven. They've lost a guard and have a hobbled tackle. There is no running game to speak of. McNabb is as streaky as ever. You lack the talent we have at most spots other than QB, and there, our guy is playing better. I realize that Eagle fans enjoy being hyped as a good team since they've so rarely been anything more than hype.
But, in this game, clearly, the better team is the taterskins. From corners, to linebackers, to the defensive line, to the offensive line to the receivers to the running backs, we have clear and unquestionable advantages talent-wise at each spot heading into this contest. No, the Eagles chances at winning a game have never really been based on having the better team. It's having the better McNabb.
When he's playing like the first half of Tennessee, your team can win, while lacking the talent of most you'll face. When he's playing like the second half, well, then you'll lose as a team with serious talent questions at this point. Too many injuries coupled with too many questions in the first place limit your top side. But, it's early and your guys may recover in time to make a late push. Good luck.

That opening drive where Thrash utterly embarrassed Smoot on his route, was outstanding. Total silence from the Skins fans... not that that is anything new.
That was the game where Levens spun Lavar out of his shoes.

Hell, Mel Kiper has Mike Williams as his highest rated player in the draft, and look where Williams is now.
Very true. In fact, the thread I pulled that from, was brought up with the express purpose of embarassing an Eagles fan who was talking about how TO was

ah, memories. i was at that game. one of my favorite games ever.
Mine too. I wish my VCR worked so I could watch that game right now. All the Skins fans did nothing but talk smack about the genius that is Spurrier (despite ALL evidence to the contrary) and they got absolutely destroyed after squeaking by the Cards in week 1. That game was awesome.
I still remember Madden talking about Spurrier's flapping lips. :-D
i believe that was also the pepper spray game.
we all stood up and told everyone around us that it looks like the skins just forfeited and they should all go home.

Next time you are in town you can stay at my place for free. Hell, you can even farg my sister. I have two fargsticks that live across my street with taterskins shtein all over there yards and cars. Flags, stickers, dumb inflatable players, you name it. I like get drunk in the garage with the door open and throw cans and obscenities in their general direction. I also relieve myself on their lawns on occasion. It is fun, and it would be about as much fun if you showed up, only I'd have some dickbag with a miserable attitude bogarting my booze.
On second thought, farg off and stay up north. Deadbeat.
QuoteMRS. GIBBS IS CRACKING THE WHIP (AGAIN)
Despite prior rumblings that taterskins coach Joe Gibbs will spend two more seasons in the NFL before returning full-time to NASCAR, we're now hearing that Mrs. Gibbs is pushing him to pack it in after the 2006 season.
Word is that Gibbs, who'll turn 66 in November, is starting to feel the physical effects of the day-to-day grind of being an NFL head coach. Gibbs has diabetes, and in May 2005 a stent was placed into one of his coronary arteries.
The stress on Gibbs figures to be higher in 2006, given that the team is saddled with legitimately high expectations for the first time since the 2000 season.
When Gibbs returned to coach the taterskins in 2004, we heard that Mrs. Gibbs was a driving force behind the move, since it enabled son Coy Gibbs to get from behind the wheel of a race car/truck and launch a career in coaching. Coy still serves as an offensive assistant with the taterskins, and it remains to be seen whether his career will continue in D.C. or elsewhere after the head coach walks away.
Wonder what ES'ers are saying. I bet that no one addresses the topic at hand but rather bash Florio and PFT.

I'm sure Coy Gibbs will be just as good as his dad anyway. No worries.

All that crap in the guys post came up. I especially like Awsome :P
Ok. Here we go.
1. The taterskins are, according to Forbes, the most valuble and profitable team in American sports. That is all well and good for Snyder, but nobody else really cares or gives a shtein. But that doesn't stop their idiot fans for proclaiming moral superiority and their undenying allegiance to Synder keen business tactics. Yes, he has the amazing ability to weed every last dollar out of his fans. No, he doesn't have the ability to construct a winning franchise. That makes me happy.
2. The taterskins lost, again, 17-10 to the lethal Baltimore Ravens. Their first team offense made it a wopping 8 yards into Ravens territory, and that vaunted defense let walking injury stint Steve McNair waltz downfield and score. Future hall of famer Jason Campbell was 3/7 for 12 yards. Kyle Boller threw a touchdown. Hey, wait a minute. I forgot. The coaches purposley try to lose and the fact that the taterskins look this atroscious is certainly a mirage. The team is touched. Touched by a coaching angel.
here's a nice little story about taterskins fans.
i went to the phils-nats game tonight. played at rfk. where the skins haven't played in like 8 years or so. there were a few people wearing skins gear on the train with me, which is standard since it's the same line out to fedex field in maryland.
four people followed us out when we got off at rfk and actually started walking to the stadium until someone informed them that they are not at the football stadium. (they were wearing skins face paint and all) a homeless guy told them.
what a bunch of real fans. and idiots.
At least they could have seen the Washington team win if they'd gone to RFK.

Even if we are vanilla, when we run the ball inside, we should be able to get 4 yards. We need to stop believing what we read in the newspapers and just play ball.'' - taterskins center Casey Rabach, whose team was winless in the preseason and whose starters had been outscored 44-zip before last night's game vs. Baltimore.

You can't possibly be serious. I'm all about ripping on the skins and their fans, but you're seriously arguing that since their mascot happens to be some form of Native American, skins fans shouldn't paint their faces... because it's racist? That is pretty much the biggest pile of hippie crap I've ever heard. Awful.
its no different than being called the washington hangmen and having a picture of little sambo on their helmet then going to the game in black face
but its indians and they are all interned on reservations..out of sight out of mind...thus you dont care....and thats cool...but dont say its awful to care...its bigger than the taterskins or their fans...

:-D IGY is the last person i ever thought i'd see this argument
IGY:
Wrong. Painting one's face in the color of the home team is a perfectably acceptable sports tradition. It's not the fans' fault that the team has an insensitive mascot name, and they should not be denied any part of being sports fans just because of that unfortunate circumstance.
Do I think the team name should be changed?
Probably.
Do I think skins fans are racist for painting their faces just like any other teams' sports fans?
Absolutely not.
Do I think you're an over-sensitive politically-charged quasi-intellectual?
Yes.
Can we at least agree that the best solution would be for all skins fans and employees to kill themselves?
I sure hope so.

You're pretty much everything that's wrong with America. We're a whole country full of people just looking for something to get their panties in a bunch about or someone else to blame for their problems.
SunMo presents a compromise that I'm willing to accept on this argument:
QuoteIf you come to the game with war paint and a headress and are jumping around hollering, you're a racist douche.
If you come wearing a jersey, face half gold, have burgundy, you're just a douche.
I concur with that assessment.
my panties are not in a bunch and i ahve no problems...nor do i lose sleep over it...but that doesnt mean i cant think its sad and disgraceful...
btw there is absolutely nothing acceptable about painting your face period at or for a spoting event...the fact that you believe it is perhaps explains your thoughts on...well on everything

As long as they die, the method really is unimportant.
they could be dead week 1:
according to Rotoworld-
taterskins CB Shawn Springs could miss several more weeks after undergoing abdominal surgery.
It's a huge loss for a thin secondary. Washington may also be without Cornelius Griffin (knee) and Phillip Daniels (back) in Week 1. It's all good news for Minnesota, Washington's Week 1 opponent.

I don't find that insensitive at all. I find it idiotic because the Skins suck monkey butt, but not insensitive. Had he said "More body bags to be dispersed

Would anyone care if he made that statement referring to a game being played on December 7th? I doubt it.

I'm not saying we won't be using any of the new offense vs. the Vikings, just a little bit of the new offense along with a lot of last years offense so we don't tip our hand so to speak.
As a matter of fact, it is my belief that the taterskins will be installing new plays throughout the season as the players become more comfortable in the new system. By then we will be able to cut Frost because we won't need him anymore!
One guy with a brain in his head says;
QuoteHere we go with excuse already....
And he's then beaten about the head and shoulders area for even suggesting that the Skins would show any offensive flavor against the Vikes when big bad Dallas sits there in week 2. And how can they expect to win at the end of the season by showing everything now?!?!?

Before or after checking out ES going up in flames?
Scratch that. I will actually drop my pants & fornicate with my coach if that happens, while I have ES.com up on my laptop, resting on the couch arm.
You think I'm joking, but deep down I'm thinking it. I hope the kids go to bed early that night.
:-D
If anyone I know is capable of doing that and enjoying it - it's you, my friend.
I just can't wait to hear the excuses. Because when their little "its just preseason" argument goes right down the shteinter, I am going to laugh. I might even sign up there again for the first time in 5 years. I've got a hit list Art, Bubba, tr1 and praise_gibbs and a few others.
They even have signature pics with pictures of vanilla ice cream in them. Seriously. I mean, come on. :-D
I've never posted over there but I'm going to see if I can get myself banned with just one post.
Once again they think that Joe Gibbs has invented the NFL...
Today Gibbs announced that if Brunell gets hurt that Collins comes in to finish the game. So Todd Collins is the #2 QB. And god ol' Joe said that if Brunell missed the next game then Campbell starts.
You know - kinda like the Eagles have done for years since they had Koy as the "backup" and the long term backup (Feeley, Blake, McMahon, Feeley again) as #3.
But the ES'ers think Gibbs just crapped out a golden plan again...
QuoteI think that for me to think I know more about the QB situation than Joe Gibbs would be like him thinking he knows more than me about my porn collection - it's just not going to happen!
My own uneducated opinion still thinks this is a pretty rad idea, though. Unconventional, but what really hasn't been lately?
1. He used "rad".
2. This idea is apparently unconventional.

QuoteCoach Gibbs Makes A Decision
This decision WORKS for this team.
All of the ranting, second guessing, complaining and out right rudeness from some of the posters came down to a EXCELLENT decision by a HOF coach.
Who would have ever thought it.
Blondie
QuoteCoach Gibbs is such a great coach......he works so hard for this team.....and is striving to take us back to the Super Bowl. This is not a "homer" or "kool aid" attitude......this is what a HOF coach is all about.
So many on here have questioned his ability and "if he does this" or "if he does that" .......and what does he do...........he once AGAIN proves he is a HOF coach.
Blondie
Quote(Forgive my ignorance, but which decision?)
To use both qbs................said he had never done this before.
He is working so hard for us to win.
Blondie
QuoteCoach Gibbs and the whole coaching staff are geniuses. This is a perfect situation and will work out for the team should something happen to Brunell. Collins is a veteran with experience who can close out a game for us but if it is a week to week basis for Brunell they will take the week and get Campbell ready and he will start the next week. It wont hurt Campbell's confidence because he will be the starter which should boost his confidenced. This is the best situation for the team and so glad to hear this news
QuoteWhere is the "anti homer" crowd?
Is this NOT a great decision?
It this NOT what we strived for this last decade? Is the NOT what a HOF coach does?
Is this NOT how to do what is best for the team?
Once again.......I believe in the taterskinS.
We are on our way..........grab on to the train guys.........the taterskin EXPRESS is Miami bound.
Blondie
QuoteGeez this thread is such a convoluted mess....no suprise it was started by a woman.
QuoteWhat a weak attempt at a shot.
Listen little fellow......don't bring a knife to a gun fight.
If you can't understand the big words........since you live in Fort Worth and I live in Dallas, I certainly don't mind meeting you to assist you in understanding.
Blondie
It's like a goddamn car wreck! I can't stop reading this tripe!
They actually believe the guy INVENTED saving the 3rd QB in case the starter gets hurt. I feel like John Belushi in Animal House when he says "they took the bar!" over and over.
They really think that Joe Gibbs is the only guy who though to use the #2 as an in game replacement and use the 3rd QB as a long term option! :-D
QuoteIf something is to happen to Brunell during a game, Todd closes the game and Campbell starts the next game if Brunell is still out. Coach Gibbs says it in the press conference on taterskins.com, incase any of you are confused.
I would have never thought of that, but that seems like the best thing that could be done.
Im surprised people still argue with women, its a wasted effort
I don't know what's so funny. This is all true.
QuoteIt this NOT what we strived for this last decade? Is the NOT what a HOF coach does?
Jesus farging Christ.
Oh, its gets better. This one's a beaut, Clark.
It's got everything. A drunk homer (she's gotta be a few deep into the Bartyles & James, right?) who wants to have sex with Gibbs (Blondie) numerous guys drooling over her, a dude from Utah trying to talk tough to anyone who disgarees and the mod threatening to ban people for nothing.

QuoteWith all teams remaining relatively healthy for the whole year...
taterskins = Super Bowl Champions.
Because we have...
The best "Overall" QB in the division.
McNabb=Choker. It's between the ears why he's second to Brunell.
Manning=Still not ready for primetime.
Bledsoe=One dimentional sitting duck with a bullseye on his chest.
(If sacks weren't allowed in football, he might jump to the top)
The best group of RB's in the division.
Giants=Tiki's good, but it's a one man show, and that won't be enough this year.
Cowboys=Marion Barber should start instead of the overrated Jones.
Eagles=They will be twice as good this year running the ball. So what?
The best group of Receivers in the division.
Giants=Solid at best. MIA at worst.
Cowboys=Would fare better without T.O. in the long run. C'est La Vie!
Eagles=If Stallworth would have been here since minicamp, they'd bump Dallas.
The best Offensive Line in the division.
Eagles/Giants a toss up for 2nd.
Cowboys line struggles from week one on.
Best "Overall" Defense in the division.
Cowboys=Barely edge out the Giants D.
Giants=Smoke evaporates, mirrors break.
Eagles=Trotter can't play all three LB spots at the same time.
So then, it's....
taterskins 12-4 Super Bowl Champions
Eagles 10-6 Win tiebreaker for wildcard, lose wildcard game
Giants 8-8 Drama queen gets run out of NY on a rail
Cowboys 7-9 Parcells retires, again. T.O. puts 3rd notch in his belt.
The Cowboys are dead, they just don't know it yet.

QuoteAs we begin our journey to the Superbowl, we enter our Monday night game with a perceived image of our team "leaning on the ropes". Again, there are many naysayers indicating how poor this team is. The repetitive statements of: "they have the talent, but just can't put things together" or "...another offseason spending spree for nothing..." or etc; however, this disbelief will be put to rest on Monday when taterskins pull an Ali "rope-a-dope" on the Minnesota Vikings. No more vanilla offense and defense. Let's see how our opponent handles an offense that comes to the line sets, then resets the formation and then finally motions two different players. One word for all, "Touchdown!". How will our opponent react when defensively what he sees is not. And finally, how will our opponent be able to do anything with the 12th man ringing in ear. I am not we destroy the Vikings, but I do think we will be much sharper than anyone outside of taterskins nation realized. Here's to a dominating performance by our team, and an injury free game to both sides.
If I pass through their super tough acceptance hazing I'm going to start a thread on "Why I'm afraid of the Vikings" with all bullshtein reason and see their reactions.
I think I might join as a super fan and take their homerism to the extreme... but I don't think I can actually top what they have in real life...

Sassy's pre-game ritual/tribute to rjs.
QuoteEach week I buy something representing the opposing team. Usually a stuffed mascot or something. On game-day I put on my taterskins break-away pants, my Monk jersey (I've had it for about 15 years now) and taterskins baseball hat. Then I go in my garage, turn off the lights and light my taterskins candle and place it in the middle of my taterskins bobble head collection. One by one I tap each one on the head until they are all bobbing back and forth. Then I get down on one knee and pray to Coach Gibbs to give the Skins the strenght, endurance and will to win the game. Then I say 3 Hail taterskins, turn on Metallica's "Enter Sandman" and hold the opposing item over my candle until it catches on fire. Then I drop it in a metal bucket and watch it burn.
Good stuff, Sas.

They're nothing but a bunch of homers incapable of seeing the truth about their team outside of their blue tinted sunglasses. That's what I love about this board. We're all taterskins fans and we love our team, players, coaches and owner but it's not like we're drooling over every single thing they do.
This is effing classic.
QuoteI have been reading these boards for over a year and finally joined up. Been a fan for over 35 years. Grew up in Fort Myers, VA. Used to play for the MDW Mustangs little league football team. Anyone here ever heard of them? Even had some of the Over The Hill gang come to one of our practices. Miss them good ol' days...........
1. Who the hell ever mentions that they played little league football 30 years ago unless their asked if they ever played little league football?
2. I've never heard of the MDW Mustangs little league football team. Is there any reason what so ever that I (or anyone else) should know who they are? Are they a nationally ranked little league team?
They might be a local pop warner team in DC and some idiots over there could be familiar with them. Still, it's an extreamly dorky thing to mention. In fact, pathetic.

QuoteWow. You have idea how jealous I am of all you guys. You actually get to go to FedEx field. I've only been there once, for a game a few years ago against Philly. It was terrible. That was the game where Dawkins picked off Ramsey to end it, except he was really out of bounds. Just yet another sign of the refs total disdain for us and how they clearly gang up and make crucial calls go our oppositions way. It's so unfair.
Just being there was amazing, I tell ya. People have complained about how much money parking is, food is and tickets are. Whine and cry some more, will ya? Mr. Snyder has turned going to FedEx Field a first class expierience. Plus, you get to watch the Washington taterskins play. Is there really a difference if you have to pay $10, $20 or $50 for parking? You're getting the privilidge to watch the taterskins play. See Joe Gibbs in action, see the Burgundy and Gold crowd come alive. I don't care about prices, the next chance I get, I'll jump on any ticket I can. Call me crazy, but I just love my Skins.
Were beating them at their own game. It's glorious.
Oh good god... :-D
hahafunnyhaha is at it again.....
QuoteAre people actually trying to compare Bill Parcells to Joe Gibbs? The only coach who is even close to Joe Gibbs is Vince Lombardi. That is it. Not only has Joe Gibbs won more Superbowls than Parcells, he has won them with nothing but class and dignity. Parcells is constantly at the center of media storms, always saying things that bring attention away from the game, moving from team to team and obviously having an obsession with his ego.
Joe Gibbs has only been a head coach from one team, the taterskins. He is the face of the franchise, a friend to all of the fans of the Skins and everybody in the DC area. He does it with class and respect for the game, respect for the fans, players, media, opposition, you name it. Joe Gibbs is everything people should look for in not only a head football coach, but a person. I believe he is one of the 5 greatest people living today. His character and will, articulence and smarts. This is a great, great man. While Parcells has had his share of success, he cannot be compared to Joe Gibbs. You can't compare anybody to him. Except maybe Ghandi and Todd Beamer.
I can't believe these idiots believe the crap their writing.
Jesus MDS is a natural ES'er!
Ghandi and Todd Beamer?!?!?!?!?! :-D
Is it worth it to spend $44 on upper level seating?
Sassy:
QuoteTickets for the game: $44
Parking 3 miles away: $25
3 beers and 2 hot dogs: $40
Being in the same building as the greatest coach of the greatest team with the greatest owner and great fans in the history of the world: Priceless

QuoteI'm pretty sure the parking starts at $35.
Sassy:
QuoteEven better!! More money for Mr Snyder to use on bringing in the best coaches and players available.
QuoteYou can't compare anybody to him. Except maybe Ghandi and Todd Beamer.
You farger... you made me wake up L'il Feva... and he's all the way on the other side of the house. :-D
This is great stuff. Ok, the next step should most definatley be talking openly about Art and Bubba and Om and Blondie. Thing is they aren't around now, and I'm impatient.
Todd Beamer jokes are great. People always stop and think, then laugh. 9/11 jokes are okay these days. At least according to my very low standards.

Ha! Thread entitled "Complete slap in the face from ESPN":
First post (note the spelling of "Ludacris") :-D:
QuoteI don't know about you, but the new vote on ESPN.com stunned me. I know I should expect the taterskins to be disrespected, but this made my eyes strech as far open as they can possibly be. The vote:
Who will represent the NFC in Super Bowl XLI?
Cowboys
Eagles
Giants
Panthers
Seahawks
The NFC East is all included minus the taterskins. Is this Ludacris? Are PROFESSIONAL sports analysts really this shallow? They have turned all their focus on the meaningless preseason without any broad understanding of how we approached it. Aren't they paid to understand Al Saunders has never showed anything during the preseason EVER? Are they paid to understand no team shows their 'good stuff' during the preseason? I guess the Giants will beat enough teams on their unrelenting schedual to actually have a winning record now? Just because they won some games in the preseason? This makes me want to crow-hop towards each and every disrespectful analyst and slap them across their dull minds. Hail to the skins.
Responses:
QuoteI love it, keep it coming...more ammo for the bulletin board.
QuoteIf a crash and burn team from a year ago like Philly gets listed, why not include the Rams or maybe Falcons?
QuoteI think what is more irritating is the fact that we actually WENT to the playoffs last year. It would make sense to add a playoff calibre team to that list (especially with additions to our offense) regardless of the way we looked in preseason.
The mediots rarely get under my skin, because I know how blatantly ignorant and one-sided they can be. But this REALLY pisses me off.
and the smackdown from a Cowboys fan:
QuoteIf your first team cannot execute the simple vanilla plays, what makes you think they can execute the complex, motion plays? You guys keep spouting that Saunders isn't showing anything. Couldn't another reason be that the offense isn't getting the offense yet? I think it ignorant for you guys to think a brand new offense with brand new players are going to come out of the gun firing. You will be lucky if by mid season , they can even be consistant.
Brunnel is o trent green, portis is no holmes or JOhnson, cooley is definately not gonzales and your oline is not the KC line. You guys need to get a grip and realize this offense won't be that good or scary. Maybe later in the year or next year, but not right away. That is one possible reason you offense sucked in preseason.

QuoteThis news makes me extremely happy. Normally it would only make me happy but now that I'm a card carrying Extreme Skins Fan, everything I do from now on I will do to the extreme.......like Vanilla Ice. I digress, this is great, great news to hear. Rumor has it that Portis was sitting in the trainers room when Coach Gibbs approached him and asked Portis how he was feeling. At that same exact moment, He touched Portis on the shoulder and that's when the pain went away. I don't know if that's a coincidence or not but it's definately the work of a greater power.
You already got your card? That was fast.

Well it seems pretty ludacris to be mad at him for bettering his situation. Coach Gibbs.....as great a man as He is, doesn't coach for free. I mean we're talking about a Guy who literally has sat at the feet of God and considers Jesus His professional equal and yet He still needs to be paid to do His job. If the taterskins wanted Him to coach for free and He decided to coach elsewhere would anyone around here smite Him? I doudbt it.
:-D
That looks like Sassy's handy work right there. Is he auditioning for a Job with the ES Staff or something? What a farging tool.
Still no approval from the mods over there. :-\
QuoteTo the dumbest plan of the year: the taterskins investing in two free agent receivers (Antwan Randle-El and Brandon Lloyd) and an expensive offensive coordinator (Al Saunders) to go with their expensive gamebreakers (Clinton Portis and Santana Moss) ... only they're going with a washed-up Mark Brunell at QB again. How does that make sense? Does Joe Gibbs do this with NASCAR, too? Does he spend a ton of money on his cars and pit crews, then find the most mediocre drivers possible? Which reminds me ...
from Bill Simmons' NFL preview...
What a MEDIOT!!
I'm going to go over to ES and give Simmons a piece of Sassy's mind.
well, they found the simmon's article..
"
Reporter: So how does it feel to be an analyst making non-worthy opinions about the teams in the NFL?
Simmons: Well I wanted to apply for a head coaching position, but my name was not mentioned as a canidate to any of the owners!
In other words! WTH is this guy! I stopped listening to these mediot prognosticators a long time ago. All that matters is what us fans think of "The Skins" and how we foresee the conclusion of the season!"

QuoteI am genuinely excited about that. No, check that. I'm EXTREMEly excited about the rise in ticket costs. By raising ticket costs, Mr Snyder is actually allowing us, the fans, to play a bigger role in assembling a Super Bowl winning franchise. This is just another example of why Mr Snyder is a saavy and successful businessman. It's all about thinking outside the box.
And even if the Skins don't win the Super Bowl, the fans of whatever team do win it won't feel quite so good about it because they didn't have to spend a lot of money on it. Do you have any idea how hard it is to jump up and down to cheer for your team when your pockets are weighed down with money? But when our Washington taterskins win the big game, we will feel as though we are a part of the team. Infact, I wouldn't be surprised if Mr Snyder allowed us fans to be part of the victory parade......at a cost of course. Gotta start loading up for next year.

I literally almost passed out from reading that one over there. :-D
QuoteSimmons is a no talent hack. His assession of the Skins is a slap to the face of Mr Snyder, Coach Gibbs, the entire taterskins organization and us fans. Coach Gibbs has proven time and time again that He can win with ANY quarterback. Mark Rypien and Doug Williams weren't even registering as blips on the NFL radar before they were touched by Coach Gibbs angelic hands. Next thing you know they are lighting up the score board in the Super Bowl. Why? Because Coach Gibbs has a plan. He's always had a plan and there's never been any reason to deviate from that plan because it has never not worked for Him. He knows what Brunell is capable of doing and He knows that Brunell is the best quarterback for this system.
I mean, let's be realistic here. Coach Gibbs only needs to tell Mr Snyder what the Skins need and Mr Snyder will go out and get it for him. That's the luxury of having a great owner with deep pockets who isn't afraid to dig to the bottom of them as long as it brings in the best possible player. And if Coach Gibbs wanted a new quarterback then Mr Snyder would have gone out and got him one. I don't care if Coach Gibbs wanted Peyton Manning. Mr Snyder would have bought him from the Colts. And if the Colts didn't want to sell Manning to the Skins then Mr Snyder would have bought the Colts and then arranged a trade because Mr Snyder wants to win almost as bad as Coach Gibbs does. But the reason why that hasn't happened is because Coach Gibbs knows that Manning doesn't have what it takes. Brunell does.....both physically and mentally.
Gibbs
Sassy is on a roll.

I think you should revive the Brunell Hall-of-Fame discussion.

Obviously, what they see in practice and what they feel they have is good enough. They don't need meaningless practice games. They, and I, are confident in Mark Brunell (a hall of fame if he wins the bowl) and the rest of the Skins. It's rude for us to nitpick and complain about the strategies of a hall of fame coach. Coach Gibbs has earned our respect with both his success on the field and his class and dignity off of it. It's only proper that we give that respect and trust right back to him now.

I absolutely LOVE the idea of Taylor playing on the corner. This would just be another example of him being the best defensive player in the NFL. I would actually like to see Coach Gibbs utilize all of Taylor's skills by playing him at corner, linebacker and d-line. I think he could be the Magic Johnson of the NFL and play every position on the field.

QuoteAs we begin a new season I want to give a HAIL to Mr. Synder. The man takes a constant beating in the media, however, as a Skins fan and season ticket holder I believe he is the best owner in the league. You cannot dismiss his passion for the team, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to bring a Super Bowl team back to DC. While he takes a beating for making a lot of money off the taterskins, he is more than willing to put that money back into the team (players, coaches, etc.).
Just wanted to give a little credit as we begin our march to Miami.

QuoteNo doubt. Hell, even Eagles fans love Snyder.
QuoteWithout trying to sound too critical, I would appreciate it if you gave Mr Snyder his due respect and not called him simply by his last name. I think he's done more than enough to earn that courtesy from everyone.
Having said that, the jist of you comment is spot on accurate. Never has anything more true ever been said. They'll say all kinds of mean and distasteful things about him publicly but behind closed doors they worship the ground he walks on and wish they had an owner just like him. I don't know how many times I've had discussions with Eagles fans that have told me that. I think the same could be said for fans of every team in the league too....including the Patriots. They got really lucky to win those 3 Super Bowls in 4 years. Their owner is cheap and doesn't want to spend the money it takes to bring in quality players. Look at the Deion Branch situation. If Deion played in Washington, this never would have happened because Mr Snyder would have broke out the checkbook a long time ago. Hail to Mr Snyder. Hail to Coach Gibbs. Hail to the taterskins!

Even when we were 0-5 when Marty was here we still sold out.

Never, ever, ever, ever in the recorded history of the universe has a man been chastised so much for his greatness. Not even Jesus. And they killed him.

Why did you link that thread, Phreak? People are still responding to my idiotic posts like I'm a dumbass Skins fans. I guess only Bubba or Om know...one of them had to dorkily change mine and Sassy's member profiles thing.
Because I saw the name Larry. Figured maybe it was the Larry we had here.

QuoteSTEWART'S STRUGGLES COULD FORCE GIBBS OUT
A tip from a reader followed by discussions with a league source who has a far greater understanding of the workings of NASCAR than we possess (which isn't saying much, since we know squat about NASCAR) has prompted us to conclude that the chances of taterskins coach Joe Gibbs retiring after the 2006 season are greater today than they were on Saturday.
The reason? The key driver of Gibbs' NASCAR team, Tony Stewart, failed to qualify for the the Chase for the Nextel Cup.
In an effort to create a "playoff" feel to the sport, the powers-that-be decided at some point in the not-too-distant past to take the top ten drivers in the points standings and exclude all others from contention for the championship, which is decided over the final ten races of the year.
We hear it's a big deal if an elite driver misses the cut. The sponsors don't like it too much, supposedly.
On Saturday night, Tony Stewart fell from No. 8 to No. 11.
Stewart won the Nextel Cup in 2005, and he previously has said that he should be fired if he ever fails to qualify for the Chase.
But success in NASCAR, as we understand it, depends on the efforts of many. Though one guy gets the glory, it's a team effort. And Stewart's team, owned by Gibbs, obviously is in a funk.
Coupled with rampant rumors that we've been posting (and that were confirmed, sort of, by ESPN's Chris Mortensen during Sunday NFL Countdown) Mrs. Gibbs has been pushing her hubby to pack it in, the struggles of Stewart could be enough to get Gibbs out of football for good.
Stay tuned.
Stewart and Mrs. Gibbs are feelng neglected. They need to be touched by The Angel
I looked on ES's "Eagles Gameday thread" and the first 2 or 3 pages they were going NUTS over how bad the Eagles played and then started talking about other games when the Eagles kicked the shtein out of Houston.
I saw that too.
That taterskin4Lyf fruit was like "1 down 2 to go!!" after HOU scored.
Dipshtein.
And then the "but its Houston" stuff started too.
I can't wait to see MIN ass rape them
And thats the end of the line for hahafunnyhaha. His last post about how the NFL paid both the refs and the Texans money to throw the game so the Eagles could win in order to hurt the Skins was gold, but it was his undoing.
That shtein was really only funny the first day or two. I tried doing it a couple days ago and it got old. Its fun to be more homertastic then them all but it's sad when all they do is say "I agree" and then you reply with "lol"

Hi Nibbs. You obviously read here. How do you put up with Art, Bubba and the likes of tr1?
What a bunch of dorks.
I am almost as excited to see the taterskins lose tonight than I was to see the Eagles win yesterday.
I can't wait until the remaining 98% of their playbook proves just as ineffective as the 2% he showed in preseason.
It was good while it lasted. MDS has me worried though. His posts were a little too authentic.
Obviously, they're going to keep it vanilla tonight so they can really take the Cowboys by surprise next week.
That's just a sliver of the genius of Gibbs.
No, this is the time of year when the refs will cheat them because of how much the NFL hates Snyder.
Peter King on Jason Campbell:
QuoteJason Campbell must have done something very big to tick off Al Saunders or Joe Gibbs, because he'll be the third quarterback tonight. Can't figure that one out. They've got to get that strong-armed, 2005 version of Vince Young in the lineup, and soon.

Brad Johnson, who was run out of Washington, systematically runs through the vaunted Skins defense.
Joe Gibbs, essentially a figure head, stands on the sideline with a goofily big headset on and does nothing
ESPN shows a number of Skins fans in the stands, all of whom immediatly make asses of themselves
--This is really shaping up to be the greatest game of all time
I never realized how much I hate the taterskins. Watching them play makes me want to play tackle football against a ton of people I hate.
Ladell Betts is really bad. That is all.
Who the hell decided to start the game this early?
Gibbs, so they can have a good night sleep and not lose any sleep.

A Cooley sighting! Gibbs is a genius!
The taterskins offensive line was pushed back about ten yards during the first 3 seconds of that play.
Gibbs is going to lull them into a false sense of security by letting them build up a lead with good field position.

Don't forget Al Saunders. Some of these brilliant strategies are so complex that they require the collective mental powers of two supergeniuses to concoct them.
Going vanilla in the preseason has allowed them to showcase their brilliant special teams blocking. That 12 yard return was incredible.
Yeah, let's interview a movie star for ten minutes. That's exactly what I like in the middle of my football game.
But he was in a football movie 7 years ago.
Genius playcalling called for that fumble and the defensive penalty. Incredible!

Catch a fricken ball you moron.

You should have neutered him.
Moss got knocked out. Blame the refs.
i think Kornheiser just told the audience to suffocate themselves with plastic bags.
Listening to this broadcast, I was already considering it.
Should we sue ESPN for it?
Here comes the crying about the refs!
About friggin' time. NOW they can start bitching about the refs.
Theismann didn't see the penalty. Shocking.
And he just called Taylor a retard. :yay
If Troy Williams could catch this game would be much more interesting. Although the vaunted Skins offense has totally been vaunted. 13 points are how legendary O's are built!
13-9 as we go to the half.
According to the Tirico the taterskins lead 13 to nothing. I can't blame him for paying no attention whatsoever to this game.
Well, after all I've seen this half, I gotta admit that Skins fans were right all along. Obviously this taterskins team is the greatest team of all-time. The Eagles might as well forfeit their games against the Skins to preserve some dignity. This is a masterful offense, and the defense is impenetrable, even against the Vikings' offensive behemoth.
Boy, Andre Carter and Branon Lloyd are fargin studs.
Anyone see Carter's 3 sacks? Or how about Lloyd's 7 catches?
Yeah, me either.
Juqua Thomas > Andre Carter.
Quoteannouncers an idiot. it was contact, the guy clipped his kneecap
Skins fans think Prioleau was clipped.
Did they miss his knee buckling as he tried to cut? He blew it out.
But no. They have to blame someone.
Eagles Giants > Foreskins Cowgirls
For a team that is being played to a standstill by a third-rate Vikings team the Foreskin players are certainly jumping around and celebrating like they are actually kicking butt. They are a few lucy breaks away from being down 20-7.
Santana Moss is their leading rusher and receiver. Moss is a better Faulk clone than Westbrook.
Im just trying to figure out why Brunell keeps taking 7 step drops, like hes a gun-slinger. Hes very due for a pick if he keeps that up
There you go. He went with the famous 0 step drop.
He's due for a pick regardless. Or a kill shot because he's a sitting duck.
Nice start there. Everyone moves except the center who holds onto the ball. :-D
That TJ Duckett is totally a freakin stud. Totally worth a 3rd round pick.
Watch him run!!
Incredible tackle by the punter on that one.
Damn those cheating refs!
Wilbur!
Billy Mac!

Did Billy McMullen just catch a pass?

Two minutes ago: Brad Johnson should not have thrown that pass into triple coverage.
Now: Brad Johnson has not made a mistaken in this game.
Oh, man. The ES'ers are pissed.
Now every single play there is "holding on that OL. why aren't these refs calling it??! argh."
If you look closely, you can see the refs' pockets are lined with billion dollar bills.
Gotta give 'em credit though....they are blasting Archuleta over there.
The spin control of Art and Bubba aren't there to stop it and AA is being labeled "garbage"
How dare those peons declare Archuleta anything but perfect? He's been touched by a coaching angel. TOUCHED, for Gibbs sake!

That was a real iffy penalty.

It's a make up call for all the years of taterskins discrimination. In fact, the refs and the NFL should be paying the Skins for all the horror they've had to endure.

Left-handed throw to avoid the sack. I like it. I hope McNabb never tries it.
Chester Taylor must have stepped out there.
Hehe, Theismann said "gash."
almost better than the skins losing this game is that it would mean dallas or skins will be 0-2
What's this almost shtein?
NOTHING

repeat
NOTHING
is better than a skins loss
horrible call there...you gotta punt and play the field
The Skins going to 0-2 would by twice as good then.
indeed
jamie foxx is a bandwagon whore
I hope everyone's still there when those Canadian extremists attack. Should be any minute now...
I wonder if Skins fans have a new opinion of Tom Cruise now. If Mr. Snyder trusts him, they must too.
They'll be buying replica bronze poopies soon.
Just when you thought you'd never hear "sexboat" during a football broadcast.
Damn those cheating refs!
Well thats it. The refs do it again. I can't stand it. This is a disgrace.
I'm going to write a letter to the NFL. In crayon, as a tribute to Taylor.
The refs should be thankful Taylor didn't spit in their face.
Theisman is a disgrace...of course they are calling anything and everything on Sean Taylor. The guy is a farging hack.
Theismann on the late hit: "I'm not defending it, but <proceeds to defend it>"
I can't take these cheating refs anymore!
That was without a doubt a facemask, good boy Adam.
I see that Childress brought the "throw a bomb on third and short" strategy with him.
Is it me, or are the refs doing everything in their power to let the Skins lose?
That was great directional punting. I'm glad he worked on that.
horrid call by childress...the second of this half
youre running all over the skins and on 3rd and 2 you throw downfield to the fullback???

Is it wrong that I am more stoked to see the Skins drop their home opener on Monday night (nationally televised game) to the "lowly" Vikings than I was when the Birds beat the stuffing out of the Texans?
how do you give up a 20 yard out with under a minute and no timeouts
I sense lots of screen shots coming our way.

I honestly think we didn't play that bad. There was some questionable play calling on both sides but the offense is playing together for the first time since training camp and the defense is simply playing without it's best player in the secondary. It was close, they just came up short. Steve Spurrier won both of his openers, how did that turn out? It's a long season. I'm dissapointed but encouraged.
The one penalty on Taylor was fairly bogus, but then he goes and makes the refs' jobs easy with a blatant 15-yarder.

Better. I can dress like a 14-year-old Asian boy. Holla.
You might already be pregnant!
That was a sweet end to the weekend (don't care about the Sandy/Raider game). The Vikes, if they were better, would have dismantled the Skins. They were lucky to even be in the game as long as they were. If Williamson could catch better than 50% the game wouldn't have been close at all. How sweet it is... :D
Skins' big acquisitions this off-season:
Randle El - best of the bunch - looked good on PR's and on a couple of receptions... pretty much exactly what you'd expect to get from him. No more, no less.
Lloyd - invisible
Archuleta - as advertisied, made a couple of plays around the line of scrimmage and got beat in the passing game
Andre Carter - didn't even end up playing most snaps and didn't do much of anything when he was in
Fauria - He had more receiving yards than Chris Cooley. Then again, I had more receiving yards than Cooley.
BTW, it would be absolutely impossible for Theismann to fellate Gibbs any more than he did.
The Tom Cruise insanity was a nice touch too.
Seeing Tom Cruise in the owner's box was excellent. It was like a blackhole of stupid, rich and crazy. Logical behavior could not escape its surface.
Looks like Bubba had some "funnies" all photoshopped out for this game.
How'd that work out for you, ya' fat, dirty-fingered, hippy, guitar-making,obsessive basement-dweller??

Al Saunders was hyped as their biggest acquisition of all, and their offense sucked.

It was almost as embarassing as Stallone showing up for the opener against Tampa. It was a nice little extra humiliation.

QuoteDon't hate us because we're beautiful.
No more blank, wondering stares, confused head scratching, frothing emotional outbursts, conspiracy theories or embarrassing, dismissive references to 2000. The Washington taterskins are the central theme of every NFL team message board out there. Here's a message to you all from all ExtremeSkins fans everywhere.
It's time to embrace the reality of it all. Simply, we're better than you.
Collins didn't let that clipboard out of his sight.
The main catalyst for that Chiefs offense was the offensive line, not Saunders. Saunders is still good, but was way overhyped.

FRom MIke Wilbon's article;
QuoteYes, Brad Johnson is a proven quarterback, a Super Bowl winner. And he got such a big kick out of beating his former team that he wore his old taterskins jersey from the Vikings' locker room to the team bus after the game
:-D :-D
I hope to see a pic of that.
Burn Snyder, Burn.
I betcha Joey Gibbs enjoyed another one of Theisman's world famous "it's okay Coach, I still love ya" handjobs.
Like I said about that defense - the only way they can get pressure is if they blitz their DBs or Marcus Washington. Losing Pierson Prioleau is a big hit for them. Gregggggggggggg Williams loves safeties like Andy loves offensive lineman.
They let Ryan Clark go (who is better than Archuleta in that defense) and now losing Prioleau is big.
Springs is hurt (he had most of their sacks last year) so they can't bring him. Nor can they blitz the house because then they are leaving Rumph Roast, Kenny Wright and the stud Carlod Rogers out on an island.
But when they left those bums out there in the PS the spinners were saying "That's just good ol' Coach Williams putting his players in a tough position to see how they'll handle it".
Andre Carter is a bust.
Notice that Kedric Golston, a rookie, was one of the best DL tonight. I liked seeing that because it shoves the whole "we don't need young guys" schtick right down people like Art's throat.
Dallas is going to roast those fools.
Eagles 2-0
Cowboys 1-1
Jints 0-2
Skins 0-2
Dallas will probably win, but I hope they lose.
Springs is the greatest CB ever (http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=168771)
dumbasses dismissing the preseason and proclaiming a blowout vs. Minny prior to lastnights game (http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=166214)
I wasn't surprised to see how conservative the Skins played on offense. The whole strategy seemed to revolve around them tiring out the Vikes D-Line, throwing screens back and forth, and running swings and pitches to get them to run side to side. It seemed like it was working for awhile. If this is there approach, I wonder how they will try to deal with the Eagles D, when JJ switches out an awesome line for a more fresh, decent line over and over.
Gibbs loves him sum game management, as evidenced by the fact then almost everytime Brunnel was flushed from the pocket or got pressure, he tossed the ball away. With the other team having a lead, that'll cost them.
After watching this game, I am confident the Eagles will own them, as will Dallas and the Giants. Their "ball-hawking, ultra-aggressive" safeties are a huge liablity in the passing game. Just run at them and get them frothing at the mouth to make the "big hit" up near the LOS and then you can fling the ball over their heads into their average-at-best CBs who are now on an island. Nice.
Springs coming back will help them a lot, but... yes.
springs being out changed everything for them...not so much because hes that good but because hes so much better than thier back up db's (due to the cap and not being able to have any depth)....with springs out the safties couldnt come up to stop the run...when archuletta is tackling receivers mroe than rb's its not going well...they also couldnt blitz like greg williams likes...i counted five blitzs all night
Quote from: ice grillin you on September 12, 2006, 09:50:49 AM
due to the cap and not being able to have any depth
I thought you said the cap didn't apply to the skins and that it was a myth perpetuated by Joe Banner.
it doesnt apply to the skins....they sign who they want when they want...they just only sign big name guys rather than back up corners
Note: The skins defenders were shaking around and jumping up and down like idiots all night last night.
Assclowns all.
Seriously. Every tackle was a reason to launch a huge celebration. Awful.
QuoteOn the Robinson touchdown, Minnesota faced third-and-5 on the Washington 20. The taterskins rushed four, dropping seven into coverage, with both safeties in standard Cover 2 dropping deep. The Vikings sent out four receivers. Yet with seven to cover four, Robinson was singled on Rogers in the corner of the end zone. Both Washington safeties stood in the center of the field like topiary, covering no one.
Taylor and Archuleta - big hitters, not so hot at coverage
taylor is excellent on coverage....archuletta is hot poop
speaking of taylor has any safety ever come to the line of scimmage with that kind of speed and ferocity...he tries to murder the running back on every play
Taylor's untamed aggression is impressive and fun to watch, as an Eagles fan, because it costs his team dearly time and time again. Like Kornheiser was saying, he even gets penalties via reputation now. It's good stuff.
Sean Taylor is an idiot. He's LaVar Arrington, a player the skins fans have convinced themselves they're better without, all over again. Freakish athletic ability combined with extremely questionable decision-making.
And as for his pass coverage, his mental game there is well below average, but his speed makes up for it to make him about average... unlike a Michael Lewis, who has a similar mental game in pass coverage but can't make up for that lost step.
Taylor's good. He'll never be great, because he's a goon and an idiot.
except hes already great
He's great at penalties and running really fast into people. Other than that, not a lot of greatness there.
I don't know if I even remembered to include him (and can you blame me?) when I was talking about the poor showings of most of the skins' name-player signings, but was T.J. Duckett even active for the game?
You'd think that they traded for him to help the RB situation when Portis isn't healthy. Instead, they ended up playing Portis at less than 100%. So... Duckett obviously sucks.
He was active. He wears #36 and looks like Suge Knight. I almost thought he was inactive too until I saw some game pics ofhim standing there so fresh and so clean in his white on white (which the Skins fans hate and think is one reason why they are playing poor).
Andre Carter was active too. He was even on the field but still invisible.
QuoteSUZY HAS LOOSE LIPS
Though we'll be posting a more thorough critique of the inaugural MNF on ESPN on ESPN double-header on Tuesday, a league source has offered up some opinions regarding the extent to which Suzy Kolber was sharing information during the pregame show as to things she had observed at taterskins practice
Per the source (we had a TiVo malfunction and somehow only one minute of the pregame was recorded), Kolber talked about the fact that the Washington offense looked much different than it did in the preseason, and that there was a lot of motion and shifting and a quick tempo.
Said the source: "Hey, Suzy: The sh-t you see and hear during practice and productions meetings is confidential. This is reason number one why coaches don't want media around during practice. This is the stuff that media people should be fined for. It'll be interesting to see if anyone allows Suzy and the rest of the crew into practice for the rest of the season. Production meetings are supposed to be kept in absolute confidence. She screwed the pooch on this one."
We'll keep our ears open as to whether there's any fallout from this one as the MNF crew makes its way to Jacksonville and beyond.
No wonder the Vikings won. Suzy Kolber gave them Coach Gibbs' secret gameplan!
QuoteI have this thought that has been bugging me. With the normally explosive Saunders offensive schemes and Williams normally aggressive play, do you think they planned to keep it basic to not give up to much before Dallas? It seemed like very basic plays on both ends. I believe they thought they could beat Minnesota with basic plays. I believe they thought that a loss to Minnesota wouldnt be as crucial as a lost to Dallas... They will open up big time against Dallas. Opinions please..
QuoteOur offense was a beautiful thing
Yup... I said it. I know a lot of us here are too busy wallowing in our misery to actually put on our thinking caps and use them. I know a lot of us just like complaining too. It's just the American way nowadays, what, with all of our luxuries.
Here's the thing. Every play on offense caught the defense on its heels. You can just tell. They never knew what we were going to come with next and it was obvious. Even on plain old runs up the middle we we're faking reverses to ARE/Santana and the defense kept backing up to make sure they read it right. You know what that means? Dallas will have a tough time coaching its defense against us, as will any team, by using film. We we're calling great pass plays that got our playmakers open, the only problem was that Brunell kept getting flushed out of the pocket too soon to allow the routes to develop properly and allow him to make the right pass. Not a problem, cuz our O-line will only get better. So what do we do? We call a lot of screen passes and hitches, and they worked quite well.
WE MOVED THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD LIKE CRAZY. Why has noone else seen this? Why has noone else realized our offense would take the ball with average field position and not, by the way, with great field position handed to us by our defense like last year and move the ball all the way to the redzone. Just imagine had we got those turnovers our defense was so good at giving us last year towards the end? YES, we didn't score the touchdown everytime, but it was due to the way we played most of the time and NOT because Minny's defense was just too good. Once again, those kinks can be worked out. Last year Gibbs turned us into the one of the best redzone offenses in the league, and I'm sure his input will once again go a long way.
When Mcnabb throws, on almost every drive, three screen passes to Westbrook and goes all the way down field he's called amazing. When Brunell does it... he sucks. When it counted most, Brunell made some great plays down field. I'm in the least bit worried about our QB situation. He played just as well as Brad Johnson did yesterday... we just didn't have that well of a thrid down conversion rate which has a lot to do with the fact that we we're moving the ball on both first and second down a lot more than they were. They HAD to convert on third down cuz our defense gave them nothing on second and third. On third down, it's really all on the DB's and our Safeties... who will only get better as they play more with each other. Not to mention we we were missing our most important CB. Goodness.
The real difference was their ability to run the ball on us late in the fourth and then kick the field goal. Time of possession was about the same for both of our teams until that drive. That is our biggest problem right now. Some aspects of our defense. Aspects I believe will get worked out too.
I'm not sure I understand some of our fans here. I know it hurt to lose like that. I know we paid big money for big things and, therefore, big things should occur. I know anticipation for our team is at an all time high... but come on, why the blindness?
Why was I, even though Hall missed the field goal, still smiling about everything? Whay was I consoling my wife, who is actually a Broncos fan, about the loss and it wasn't the other way around? (I'm not braggin or being arrogant here, cuz I know there are thousands like me).
Because I saw something beautiful. Something I didn't see nearly as much last year. And it's only going to get better. I know most of you feel me... you're just quietly navigating these boards like I usually do. We're just not as vocal as the pessimistics; a characteristic based on impatience and anxiousness.
Al Saunders can blow me.
Chris Cooley needs to be utilized more.

:-D :-D :-D :boom
They moved the ball downfield like crazy, but couldn't score. You know, it's a good thing only the Skins coaches come up with those gameplan things.
I want to nuke them all.
i actually hope they win every game until nov. 12th. give them a false sense of hope to feed into their homerism. then after our bye they get the unmerciful shtein mashed out of them in every phase of the game. then deja vu a month later.
QuoteHere's the thing. Every play on offense caught the defense on its heels. You can just tell. They never knew what we were going to come with next and it was obvious.
??? What game was that guy watching?? I wonder how many games the Skins will have to lose before their fans start seeing anything bad in anything Joe Gibbs or his team does.
i was on there yesterday and the mood was surprsingly different. the usual idiots are of course never going to change, regardless of how much the team sucks, but it was a different mood than usual. most realize that they didn't look good.
I still haven't truly recovered from the fact that they lost to the vikings. I farging love it.
Alright now. All that bullcrap talk about "the last time the taterskins went 0-4 in the preseason they won the Superbowl" was an excuse not to see how friggen' terrible they looked. They must really be that bad.
They looked awful, and they are awful but come on guys, let's not make fools out of ourselves just yet by predicting their inevitable fall. What's Andy Reid's record in week one?

Star-struck Snyder can't win Super Bowls, so he collects trophies
Sep. 13, 2006
By Mike Freeman
CBS SportsLine.com National Columnist
The little man with the gold bouillon probably could not resist. Tom Cruise was for sale. So what does a billionaire squirt who already owns an NFL team, a theme park, media companies, and a few dozen yes men do next to feel important? He purchases a movie star, of course.
They looked so cute together in the owner's box the other night, didn't they? Cruise with his flaming brunette hairdo, dark sunglasses at night and Army Ranger security force, and Snyder with his bloated, overrated team. It's a match made in megalomaniac, Napoleonic-complex heaven.
When Cruise was blasted from his $10 mil per Paramount Pictures deal, Snyder could not resist. "Ooooh, goody," he probably thought, "another toy for the collection."
It was Monday Night Football, which meant eyeballing cameras, sweaty paparazzi, and a raucous, plucky arena. Snyder rolled out his new man-toy unable to resist the spotlight and jammed his box with other worshipping celebrities including Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Peter Pace (isn't there a war on?).
Then Snyder's team did what it has mostly done since Snyder purchased it and jammed it predominantly with bad free-agent signings and big-name has-beens: It lost.
TomKat's appearance at the Minnesota-Washington game exemplifies why Snyder will never win a championship. Never, ever, never. That is the most stone cold lock of a football guarantee ever made.
Snyder has celebrity deficit disorder. He cares more about the hype and the stars than he does taking the time to patiently grow a successful football franchise. He cares more about squashing his critics in the media (he counterattacks writers through the team's official website) or trying to buy them off (he purchased his own fan website and radio stations). Snyder employees, I believe, pose as fans and blast media members on various message boards. :-D :-D :-D
While Hall of Famers like the Rooney family, the late Wellington Mara or future Hall of Famer Robert Kraft focused on building teams the proper way, Snyder has always cared more about which A-lister is sitting where in his box. The welfare of the league, small markets, salary cap manifestations. Forget it. He's not interested.
The late Mara once told me, when asked if he had ever met Snyder: "Yes, we've met. I wouldn't use the word charming with him, but he's been fine." Mara continued, "I don't agree with a lot of what he has done, and I don't want to get specific about what I don't like. He is entitled to do what he wants because he paid $800 million for the team. A lot of us old fogeys wish we had made as much money as he has at that age. But I wonder if he is the type of person who will only look out for himself, instead of the well-being of the entire league."
Mara made those remarks some time back but they still hold true today.
One of the most stunning stories in football over the past several years is while Snyder has turned his team into a giant ATM off the field, on the field, this once fearsome, hungry franchise has been transformed into a slobbering herbivore.
The league needs Washington to be good the way it needs New York teams or Green Bay to be competent. The franchise is too important to the NFL. When it stinks, the league just is not the same.
If you grow up in D.C., you cherish this team. You dress up in their garb and live and die with them. I still have all of my Washington gear: the gloves, the jacket, the wool hat. It's now somewhere in a box and will emerge again only once Snyder sells the team. Or Cruise wins an Academy Award.
The biggest problem is Washington has not been productive despite all of the money Snyder has sunk into big name player acquisitions. During his tenure as owner Snyder is 54-59 with two playoff appearances. No NFL owner in history has ever sunk as much signing bonus money into a franchise and gotten so little from those investments as Snyder. So Snyder might actually be making suckiness history.
Never thought I would say this, but the Cincinnati Bengals are a better franchise right now than Washington.
It is no shock that the Minnesota Vikings, not a great group, post-Pornoboat scandal and all, embarrassed Snyder's football team in the home opener. Not even Joe Gibbs, football royalty, will be able to rescue my once favorite team, my hometown team, from the fumbling clutches of the man Profootballtalk.com aptly nicknamed SnyderBrenner (a combo of Snyder and Yankees owner George Steinbrenner). Steinbrenner at least has numerous rings and the free agents he signs continue to be All-Stars.
When Snyder signs a Pro Bowler, he becomes a Pro Bowler no more.
SnyderBrenner is not an owner, he's P.T. Barnum. He doesn't care about football. He cares mostly about the stars and the spectacle and the political pundits who show up to play smoochy-face with him. The stars make him feel important, they make him feel taller.
Of course, collecting stars has nothing to do with winning football games. Snyder has signed Deion Sanders and Steve Spurrier to mega-deals and still has as many championships as Bill Bidwill.
One day, when he is done pillaging the bank accounts of Washington football fans (he was after all the first to charge fans for attending training camp practices) it will hit SnyderBrenner. He will notice how the New England Patriots built a dynasty utilizing smart drafting, treating the salary cap with respect and making wise free agent selections based on real needs, not Q-rating. You don't sign Elvis. You sign Elvis Grbac.
We've seen this before. It's the movie Titanic. We know what happens. Cue the iceberg. Cue 9-7, at best, again. And again. And again. High expectations followed by raging mediocrity.
When Cruise lost his $10 million a year deal, the Boston Herald, with the use of salary.com, figured that it would take a housekeeper making $19,934 a year 502 years to earn what Cruise did.
If Snyder were immortal -- and please don't give him any ideas -- it would still take him longer than that to win a Super Bowl.

QuoteVikings ask NFL to investigate radio trouble
The Vikings didn't suggest sabotage, but their wireless system was OK before the game.
Kevin Seifert, Star Tribune
Last update: September 13, 2006 – 8:10 PM
The Vikings asked the NFL on Wednesday to investigate a sudden disruption of their wireless communications system early in Monday night's 19-16 victory over Washington, a failure of unknown origin that forced them to send in plays manually rather than by radio.
Coach Brad Childress asked Ray Anderson, the NFL's senior vice president of football operations, to "take a peak at" the problem.
The taterskins reported no such malfunctions with their equipment. Childress stopped far short of suggesting sabotage, but he said two experts could find nothing wrong with the Vikings' equipment.
Asked if the problem was the result of an intentional act, Childress said: "I don't know."
An NFL spokesman acknowledged there was an "interference problem" with the Vikings' wireless frequency. The spokesman said no specifics were available on the nature of the interference.
Most teams use some sort of wireless radio to send in offensive plays from a coach's headset to a speaker in the quarterback's helmet. Childress said two consultants travel with the team for each road game to set up the technology and provide troubleshooting.
"It worked right before we came out for the game," Childress said. "They take those helmets all over the stadium and check them in every corner. They worked before we came out [of the locker room]. They didn't work for the first play. They worked before we came out for the second half, because they rechecked everything -- batteries, cells -- and it didn't work as we started the third quarter."
The Vikings eventually resorted to a backup system of wired headsets, but on several drives -- including the opening drive in which they scored a touchdown -- Childress shuttled in plays with several receivers as well as tight end Jermaine Wiggins. "Anybody I thought that could spit it back out," Childress said.
Receiver Travis Taylor was among the group.
"Hadn't done that since Pop Warner," Taylor said. "They would give me the formation and the play. Brad [Johnson] pretty much knows the plays, so I just had to remember two or three words of it and everything was good."
Johnson ran to the sidelines on numerous occasions to pick up the play himself. The Vikings snapped the ball several times with one or two seconds remaining on the game clock, but they were not called for any delay-of-game penalties.
"That's the way it goes," Childress said, "and that's the way it goes in a noisy stadium. You better be able to adjust."
Usually, when that is the case, both teams are supposed to suspend use of their headsets.
I guess no such rule applies to the skins.

This doesn't apply to Gibbs since he gets his plays telepathically from God.

QuoteAs I was driving to work this morning, I thought that there is a good chance Gibbs told some of his key players that we don't want to lay it all on the line for Minnesota, and if we win that would be great but we don't want to look dominant at this point in the season.
Why? We have the Cowboys at Dallas this week, a tough win by any standards. The genius of losing to Minnesota is that the Cowboys and the rest of the league underestimates us, and we are the decided underdogs.
While losing to Minnesota hurts temporarily, in the long run its the divisional games that are much more important to win. This could all very well be part of the Master Plan.

You'll get to point at your own RB soon enough.
The funny thing is not that Portis is hurt - it's that Gibbs played him hurt on Monday despite having traded away more high draft picks for T.J. Duckett. 0 plays for Duckett. Made no sense at all. Awful coaching and team management.

His shoulder will bug him all year. It'll hurt like hell, but he should be able to play.
Unless his shoulder was more than just subluxated.

Good thing RB's don't get hit in their shoulders that much.
I like how Mr. Kid Bro Sweets didn't even know he wasn't playing.
And let's not get off topic here, qwert. The issue at hand is not whether or not Coach Janky Spanky's shoulder is right or will be right. Its the fact that Danny, Vinny and Gibbs traded a 3rd round pick for TJ Duckett and his pretty white on white uni that you Skins fans love so much is still Clorox clean.
Great trade.

Duckett was insurance and you know it. Third round pick for a good player, and goal line threat. You want to dicker and say a third round pick was too much for a proven player, more power to you.
Want to place a side bet on his contribution this year? He'll be involved, even if Portis is 100%
thse farging bitce it sfull of people that suck l,ots of kick idjn hs i cant stand this fan base
What are the parameters of the bet?
Insurance policy? I buy that totally. I do not rip for getting help in case Portis can't go.
What I do find hilarious and will ridicule forever is that they dumped a 3rd round pick on an insurance policy when the Skins cold've got something via the waiver wire or in trade that didn't require a #3 pick.
Najeh Davenport was had for nothing by PIT. He's better than Duckett.
There are plenty of insurance policies out there that don't have a high premium on them.
And Duckett is hardly proven. He was good for a year and then sucked hard last year. You know it. Everyone knows it except Cerrato, Gibbs, Saunders and Snyder.
Maybe one day the taterskins will realize that you need draft picks to help build depth and sustain a team. I hope they enevr see the light though. Its too fun watching your team blow its wad on zesty players every year and completely ignore the draft.
Portis isn't playing this week because Gibbs wants to rally the team by taking out their best player.
I can't believe you guys didn't see this by now.
They're saving him for the playoffs.

Jeeeezus. It's going to take me a looong time to get over this one. :=)
I'll still laugh at them.
The vaunted defense just gave up a 99 yd drive in 2 minutes.
The Al Saunder Experience is still on Page 1 of 700.
Brunell has a 26.2 QB rating.
They are 0-2.
They're wearing black shoes. Why?
For the funeral.

Archuleta dies of 3rd degree burns

Randle El & Lloyd are closed cakset because they haven't been found yet.
Has Lloyd even played a game for the Skins yet? He's harder to find than Jimmy Hoffa.
3rd round proven RB TJ Duckett is tearing it up! 5 carries for 24 yards.
Brunell is improving too. He's up to 8/19 for 69 yards and a pick.
Don't forget, they have a worse record than the Broncs this year and they lose their 2007 1st rounder too.

The taterskins getting owned lifted my spirits slightly, as tomorrow the Giants fans (I only work with two) can crack on me about the Eagles, but at least they showed they are improved, and completely dominated the Giants for three quarters. I can hang my hat on that, I suppose. The taterskins. What a laughing stock. I don't think they posted 200 yards on offense tonight, and only had a FG scored by the offense all night. And that was thanks to Cowboy penalties moving them into range, not the play of the offense. Nice.

Congrats, you're his bitch. If he asked you to suck his cock, I'm sure you'd do it.
QuotePost-game -- Just a bit off. That's exactly what you feel watching the team. Coverage just a bit off. Pass rush a bit off. Running game a bit off. Pass offense a bit -- lot -- off. Gibbs said the same at his post-game and that's probably as good as it can be said. The hardest thing to do as a fan after a loss is go into your team's lockerroom. This was THE quietest I've heard since I've been doing this for the team. Even the reporters seemed afraid to ask many questions. As always, the team echos Gibbs' sentiment. They are all together. They have to look in the mirror and make it change. In many ways this team is a lot like the start of last year, save instead of 2-0 we're 0-2. There's just enough wrong to make you scared to death. There's just enough potential to make you hope it can turn around. This is a physical, tough team. They know what they can do. And they know they aren't doing it.
Thanks for the sugercoating. Even Spadaro didn't do it this week. And you're much worse than him. I feel bad that you might actually think like that, or that you say things like this just to please a bunch of suits in the Skins front office. You're pathetic.

Not only that, but the Cowboys were trying to implode, and TO hurt his wittle wing finger... and the skins still got smoked. That said, the skins have been playing without a starting cornerback, so I can relate.
I wonder if the Skins started using the other 98% of their playbook yet. they're probably saving it for Week 3. Don't want to show anyone too soon.
They'll probably just go with the 2% all year and tank the season to lull everyone into a false sense of security and then come out like gangbusters next year... or maybe even 2008... and unleash another 4-5%.
Yep. Gotta give it to coach Gibbs. He knew everyone would be expecting him to get the team ready for conference and divisional games, but he's going to fool them all and get ready for the big matchup in Houston next week.
GENIUS.

QuoteYeah Gibbs is going to jepordize the team all because of his love for Mark Brunell
After 3 super bowl titles, enshrined in the HOF, ALL his stats and records of wins, and playoff appearances, and even taking a bad team and turning it into a playoff winner in only 2 years
you would think that most of the taterskins fans, would have a little patience, and a little belief that maybe Gibbs knows what he is doing...... just maybe?
Quoteyou have got to be kidding me
All that proves is Gibbs is willing to do whatever it takes to win, and he thought Saunders gave them a better chance so he benched himself (even though he had the Skins ranked #11 without a viable #2 WR for half the season)
So Gibbs will make himself take a back seat for what he feels is the best for the team, but he won't bench Brunell...
that makes a lot of sense
Bottom line is Brunell is yet again the scape goat, and nothing is going to appease the masses until he is beheaded... whether or not it is the right thing to do.
we are 0-2 not 0-8, people need to quit getting their panties in a bunch
QuoteSo far there has been nothing to question, we are 0-2 and have played bad.... teams losing 2 in a row happens all the time to even the best of teams, but we are supposed to chuck everything just because some fans are panicky??
and every time the peanut gallery has questioned Joe Gibbs, and doubted him.... in the long run it was Gibbs who was absolutely correct, and the peanut gallery was left with egg on their face.
you need to bring more to the table than being a wanna be armchair GM, to question Gibbs.
Not one person calling for Brunell's benching has provided any real proof or logic to suggest it is the right thing to do. Campbell is learning yet again another offense, and has yet to take a snap in the regular season, We have a veteran team with talent, and junking the season after two games to spoon feed Campbell right now is ridiculious....
All Bubba all the time.
QuoteYeah based on his past QB decisions yeah we will drink the Kool Aid.
Bubba,
It appears you seem like the type that would follow him blindly. If you 2 were in a plane and he told you to jump with no parachute, would you? Also with talent of athletes these days there isn't ever really "bad" teams, just teams that aren't coached properly.
Are you that convinced that Gibbs isn't making a mistake holding onto BOO-NELL too long? Do you honestly believe that another one of the QB's on the roster couldn't do what GREAT OLE #8 is currently doing?
Mind you this is asked after John Jansen said the offensive line has to give him 12 seconds when the normal time is about 5 seconds?
WOW I really need to hear your comments on that, because for real all the great things you state above is based on his first tenure here and if you want to stick to facts he isn't even 500% since his second arrival, but yes I will admit he is an upgrade over Spurrier
Someone calls Bubba out...
Bubba and hahafunnyhaha appear to be the same person.
QuoteIf you 2 were in a plane and he told you to jump with no parachute, would you?
No doubt Bubba would pull a Johnny Utah.
Westbrook36 is one my favorite Eagles fans over there, who just came back from a 30-day suspension. He has posted this gem on his first day back:
QuoteWhat a glorious day. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the NFL season is taking shape; everything is right in the world.
Through two weeks of the NFL season, many things have taken place. Some things are like fools gold.....happens every year. A flash in the pan here, a surprising team there. Then, there are other things that are a sign of things to come. Lucky I am here, boys and girls. I'll tell you exactly how things are going to play out.
Things Westbrook is positive of:
The Eagles game vs. the Giants was the worst non-playoff loss I have ever had to endure. It seriously took 2 years off my life. What can a man say? I hope it doesn't have any lingering effects for the rest of the year. Kearse getting hurt is a downer....but the Eagles have the best DL in football, so we will recover. I'm hoping that the Eagles of the first half, who completely dominated the Giants, will be the team that shows up most weeks. Your guess is as good as mine.
I was happy the Cowboys won the other night....I mean, I can only take so many Gatorade showers after week two of the NFL season.
BTW, dock, you still think that Stallworth won't be able to fill the shoes of Pinkston?
Buckhalter is back. Do I cringe every time he gets up after a run? Yes. Is he playing like the old Buck? Yes. He plays like a big back but he only weighs around 220 lbs. He is shifty and enjoys contact. He drags the first tackler, every single time, always fighting for more yards.
Is it me or has TO been a non-story when he has played this year? In the Atlanta game last year, I could not believe my eyes when TO could simply not turn on the switch and dominate. What you have now is a very good WR. He simply does not dominate anymore.
The Giants are not very good. I'm glad the season is 16 games long so we can watch this one play out. Not to take anything away from them, but there were literally 10 plays during the Eagles game where if something fortous or downright ridiculously lucky doesn't happen, they don't win. Their defense scares me. Scares me in the way that very ordinary things scare me.
What were they thinking department:
WHAT THE HELL WERE THE SKINS THINKING throwing away more draft picks, this time, for another NAME....TJ Duckett?!?! Seriously, this is why you can't get ahead. When the draft comes and other teams are stocking up on young CBs, DEs, and OL, the Skins "already had their draft!!" via free agency/trade. Is anyone truly happy with AA, Lloyd, ARE, and Carter? More of the same if you ask me. Now, next off season, you can do it all over again. I lost count....you now don't have your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th....with a possibility of switching places with Denver for your 1st, correct? Slaps forehead.
Offseason arguments are fun. There was this guy Westbrook36 who kept saying "It's going to be a shame when we actually have to start playing games." I think a few conclusions can be drawn from what we talked about for months and months and months:
Once upon a time, there was a man. This man said that you can't block the Eagles DL. He said this way back in April. The masses mocked and ridiculed this man. That man turned out to be 100 percent correct. The Eagles have TWO defensive lines that are the envy of the NFL. 13 sacks in two games. BTW, the single season NFL team sack record is in serious jeopardy. I'm not joking or using hyperbole either. Twas funny checking in early during the game against the Giants and watching tr1 continually post "Where exactly is this pressure from the Eagles DL!?" He posted it about 3-4 times. Then the Eagles sacked Manning eight times and pressure isn't mentioned again.
Often, rehashed arguments become facts as less informed posters or posters not willing to look at things objectively keep repeating the same thing that has been proven, well, on the almighty internet message board. The Eagles offensive line sucks, was a good one. The Eagles defensive can't stop the run was another. Just saying.
Once upon a time, there was a man. This man said that Andre Carter was a better signing than Darren Howard. That man was an idiot. Anyone who agreed with this man is an idiot. Anyone that didn't denounce that man was merely misinformed. I will concede that Carter looks better without a shirt then Howard. If I were a Skins fan, a shirtless picture of Carter would be my signature, horrible play be damned.
When Gaffney was released, it was a sign of vindication for posters on ES who felt that Eagles posters who compared the stats of Lloyd and Gaffney were goddamn morons. Through two games, while Gaffney still remains released, Lloyd has exactly 1 reception for 6 yards. It' going to be tight for the rest of the year, to see who winds up with better stats.
Tis important you don't blow your load in the early stages of free agency. While your division counterparts are giving huge money and/or draft picks for a name player, you can sit back, relax, and get a better deal on a guy like Stallworth, who is better than both Lloyd and ARE combined. Speaking of Stallworth; it turns out he is the best WR that was acquired via trade and free agency in the NFL. Better than guys that the Eagles must have been too cheap and/or stubborn to get like Walker, Lelie, or Moulds.
If I went out for a pass, I could put a double move on Archuleta and catch a pass. Sean Taylor would make me pay though. Is he really the highest paid safety in football? *snicker*
Bubba, jrockster, and tr1 are my favorite posters on ES. I am waiting with baited breath for them to come into this thread and tell me exactly how I have it all wrong and how things aren't as they appear. Jrock ridiculed anyone who suggested the Eagles would win the East. You were labeled a troll if you didn't bow down to the greatness which was the taterskins off-season. Again, it's a shame we had to actually start playing games.
A joke before I depart:
Offensive Coordinator: 2 million dollars
Head Coach: 6 million dollars
New WRs: 20 million dollars
Watching the Skins offense average 9.5 points in their first two games: Priceless :-D
Parting thoughts:
It's going to be a great season. I sincerely hope some the Skins start winning some games, otherwise, the "NFC EAST WAS WEAK AND THAT'S WHY THE EAGLES WON!" excuse will be brought out next off-season. I have missed you guys. [/b]
That's good stuff.

Calm down, closet skins fan. I read it as him saying we don't know about the Eagles, but we do know the skins are sucking and they threw a ton of money at useless "name" players yet again.
P.S. Is the only reason you root for Trent Cole because the pick the Eagles used on him was originally owned by the skins? I really want to know.

I don't know what that will be, but, my first idea is to walk 10 yards on the field turf and say this is the distance Mark Brunell must throw longer than . But, later I'll explain why bulls may be part of it
Quote8:10 p.m. -- "Let's all go to dinner," and to dinner we went, so to my room and underwear will have to wait. Mr. Clean -- nicknames you know -- gets directions to a good steakhouse called the "Strip House" a block away. They even make immediate reservations. Staying at the Four Seasons has clout. Dinner for 8. We actually take six blocks to get there as we turned the wrong way.
8:20 p.m. -- Arrive at the Strip House which is aptly named not just for the steak it will serve, but, the pictures of nude women all over the wall everywhere. Opinion is offered that we LIKE such pictures. A very adorable hostess suggests she does two, which prompts immediate flirting by others to said hostess.
Fascinating.

No good stories from Art. Bragged about talkin to Sonny and Sam. How he has media credidentials, and his close friendship with Larry Michael. But, as always, his thoughts on the Skins are well-thought and truthful.
Quote
Post-game thoughts -- This team is resiliant, but, remains flawed. You can't beat good teams with no real threat passing the ball. The energy and fight brought by Portis matters more than about anything else to these guys. Franchise back is all you can say. But, while he gives us an edge, we need something to open up in the passing game differently than we seem capable. I'm watching the Niners against the Eagles and have seen about 10 balls go downfield already. I think we had three attempts even travel more than 10 yards in the air. Two were called back. You can't win that way against the best. Resiliancy will only get you so far when you can't keep defenses more honest.

QuoteWhy does the Eagles need to use a flea flicker against the niners???
Reid only did that to farg with us. We were excited about the run, upset that it was a pass, excited about the big play, and a little miffed that it was underthrown. God damned rollercoaster of a play, it was.
It's a reasonable question. I mean other than the atrocious english, pompous attitude and inability to understand that getting a lead is important against any team, especially one with some emerging offensive firepower like the Niners. Completely reasonable.
Bubba is familiar with teams that break out the playbook against Houston, he can't fathom some team doing a trick play against pathetic San Fran.

This doesn't really go in a taterskins thread, but didn't want to start a Rams Fans Are Pathetic thread all by itself. I'm not even sure if this is going to work out.
My buddy is a Rams fan (when they are good, of course), and a hater of all thinigs Philadelphia. Not sure why, he's never been east of Illinois. Anyway, I had to share this AIM thread because it's so pathetic:

[14:16] BluesStanley: still bias
[14:16] iplaygoal: Are you a fan of Le'Roi Glover?
[14:16] BluesStanley: could take him or leave him
[14:16] iplaygoal: were you a fan of his last year?
[14:16] BluesStanley: but would rather leave him
[14:16] BluesStanley: he's never been on either list for me
[14:17] iplaygoal: wow...guess that Philly hatred for the Cowboys was not as strong as I thought
[14:17] iplaygoal: I thought you guys were passionate
[14:17] iplaygoal: guess I was wrong
[14:17] iplaygoal: You'd never hear a Rams fan admitting to liking ....
[14:17] iplaygoal: DAMMIT
[14:17] iplaygoal: I can't think of his name now
[14:17] BluesStanley: had he ever been an impact player against Philly, the hatred would have been there
[14:18] iplaygoal: the LB for the 9ers
[14:18] BluesStanley: tell me where I said I liked him?
[14:18] BluesStanley: go ahead, show me
[14:18] iplaygoal: you said "take him or leave him"
[14:18] BluesStanley: and?
[14:18] iplaygoal: that means you would take him
[14:18] BluesStanley:
[14:18] BluesStanley: tell me where I said I liked him?
[14:18] iplaygoal: that is not hatred
[14:18] BluesStanley: I think you are suffering from point deficiency
[14:19] iplaygoal: Rams fans have true hatred.
[14:19] BluesStanley: how can you hate a team that can't beat anyone
[14:19] iplaygoal: They are so passionate about football, they HATE them
[14:19] BluesStanley: oh yeah -- except the Rams
[14:19] BluesStanley: Rams fans passionate about football? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH {breathe} HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
[14:21] iplaygoal: 1 - I was talking about back when the 9ers were good
[14:22] iplaygoal: you probably don't remember that because Philly fans are so bandwagon, they didn't follow the team back then because they were not good
[14:23] iplaygoal: 2 - the reason I brought it up, is that as a passionate football fan, you grow to completely hate another team. In STL, that team in SF (and Dallas).
[14:23] iplaygoal: In Philly, I thought it was Dallas
[14:24] iplaygoal: apparently they are not that passionate so it does not matter to them.....however I digree
[14:24] iplaygoal: digress
[14:25] iplaygoal: I was going to say that you hated Glover when he was in Dallas. Now that he is with STL, you probably still hate him, just not as much as you did when he played for the Cowboys. That is not biased, just passion
[14:39] BluesStanley: you must smell really bad
[14:40] BluesStanley: 1) StL doesn't have enough history to really hate a team
[14:40] BluesStanley: 2) StL is not passionate about football. Baseball? Yes. Football, no. Hockey, no.
[14:41] BluesStanley: you can tell that you can't give away tickets when the team sucks
[14:41] BluesStanley: CAN'T GIVE THEM AWAY
That's when he stopped talking to me....

but carter is still too small to get alot of sacks at DE in the 4-3. he always gets eaten up on the line. he was better off in the 3-4 where he could use his speed to rush the edge but he couldnt even do that.
the only thing good i get out of a skins win is papa johns free toppings for every TD they score. double if they win.
large pizza w/ 8 toppings for $8.
List the 8 toppings.
double mushrooms
double sausage
extra cheese
onions
green peppers
bacon
When you have that many toppings, they don't actually put on extra cheese.

You'll want to store up that advice the next time the skins score 4+ TD's and win. Week 6 is actually a real possibility.

Link to Skins beatwriter Jason LaCanfora's blog on the WP site. (http://blog.washingtonpost.com/taterskinsinsider/2006/09/random_tuesday.html#comments)
He mentions the little spat that the ES grou (Art and a few others) had with Len Pasquarelli in the Tampa pressbox after the Skins won last year in the playoffs.
Quote
Hey there, saw the mention of the Len P confrontation. I was there. It was after the Tampa/Skins playoff game in Jan. Len is a real grouch, who tends to over-react is some of these situations, but in this case I would have to side with him. The taterskins have credentialed people from a message board, who, on their way out of the press box, start to make comments to Len and antogonize him while he is trying to do his job and writing on deadline.
This is our office, where we earn a living, and to mess with someone in that situation is way over the line. Len was at that stadium for probably 5 hours at least, and these guys pick the fight 2 hrs after the game while we are all trying to make deadline. It became a distraction for everyone around them.
I'm not sure too many pro sports organizations would in essence sanction that kind of behavior, but in this case the taterskins did. Did Len get way too fired up? Yes. Should he probably have just ignored it? yes. But it is also something he should have to worry about in a pro sports press box.
Thats my two pence, anyway/
Posted by: Jason La Canfora | September 26, 2006 08:26 PM
And here's ART's response... :-D
Quote
Sheesh, Jason, are you actually worried about my behavior? I mean, how many mother effers do you drop in the press box, loud enough to carry several rows and sections?
Are you seriously suggesting that behavior is overly professional? You know me and you know I've never gotten engaged with anyone in the room in a confrontation or negative fashion. I'm very light hearted and polite to you and everyone you've ever seen me engaged with, even Len, who I couldn't GET to be quiet about it and had to keep telling HIM we didn't need to get into it there.
Heck, I seem to recall Michael Wilbon suggesting HE would confront Len next time he saw him in the press box and Len wrote on ESPN that it didn't happen. I think it's amusing you stick together, but, I suspect Michael Wilbon would endorse the kind of behavior he said he would engage in. Don't you :).

A thread by tr1, who is the 3rd biggest homer there behind Art and Bubba, saying the Stallworth deal was a bad one (http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=171718&page=1&pp=15)
Nevermind the fact that Santana Moss and Donte Stallworth are pretty similar in the sense that both needed changes of scenery. Both are speed guys who have had issues with hamstrings and their hands were questioned.
that stallworth thread is beyond explanation
One guys logical, informed response:
Quote
Let's look at this from a league-wide perspective and evaluate who so far made the best deal of the 5 big WR's who changed teams.
Walker has the most yds total but not the most per game but Denver also paid the most with an 06 2nd rd pick.
The next highest price was paid for a WR with 3 catches for 26 yds so far. He cost his team an 06 3rd and an 07 4th and 10M+ in guaranteed bonus money.
The next highest price was paid for Ashly Lelie who has 5 catches for 76 yds so far. Although Atlanta only gave up a back up player he was valued at a high 3rd rd pick in 07 by a 3rd team involved in the deal who just happens to be the team who paid a 3rd and 4th for the player with 3 catches for 26 yds. The back up RB this team picked up in this trade was inactive on Sunday.
The next highest price was paid for Stallworth who has averaged 111 yds per game in the 2 games in which he played. He cost a 4th in 07[which can become a 3rd if he is extended] and a back up LB who was making over 1M this year which gives him almost no trade value.
The lowest price was paid for Moulds who cost an 07 4th and is doing OK with about 120 receiving yds so far in 06.....Edit....I see Moulds was traded for the first pick in the 5th rd in the 06 draft. I doubt an offer of an 07 4th and Mark Simoneau would have landed the first pick in the 5th rd in 06 so it can be argued the Eagles paid a lower price for Stallworth than the Texans paid for Moulds.
It seems that judging by these extremely early returns there may be a big loser in this activity but I don't think at this point anyone can say it's the Eagles.
tr1's response to the above?
QuoteWhen you face a team with a defense, come back and we'll talk.
:-D What an ass.
WB36 comes back at tr1 with that pesky logic thing again:
Quote
Well, why should we discuss anything about the Eagles at all if this is going to be your cookie cutter response when facts are thrown in your face?
BTW, in week one, Stall was matched up against Dunta Robinson. Did Moss score this past week? Dunta was covering him....
Hold on a second.....HAS MOSS SCORED AT ALL THIS YEAR??!??!
Like I said in the preseason....I want to see Moss do it again. He has a history of one year hot, one year cold. Looks like he might have caught a cold.
they faced the same texans team the skins just did and stallworth had by far the best game of any wr on either team

This thread is about Donte, and he changes the subject to talk about Santana Moss. Moss is as relevant to this thread is as Randy Moss.
Again, a player has to play to be a factor.

Here's another take:

Lloyd 3 Games: 3 catches 26 yards 8.7 Avg. 0 TD
Stallworth 2 Games: 11 catches 222 yards 20.2 Avg. 2 TD
So Stallworth has produced more yards and TDs and a much higher YPC avg. after 2 games compared to a combined 6 games by the Skins offseason WR pickup.
This is why the skins will still win the east and go to the Super Bowl:
Quotetaterskins | Frost performing well on punts
Tue, 26 Sep 2006 22:32:02 -0700
Jason La Canfora, of the Washington Post, reports Washington taterskins P Derrick Frost is coming off the two best games of his career and has some of the best numbers in the league. Frost is second in the NFL in average yards per punt with a 49.3-yard average. His net average of 40.1 yards per punt is eighth in the league.
!!
And many wanted him cut. Said Coach Joe was being too loyal to him.
It's the genius of that bubble gum chewing jitbag Danny Smith who has him booming punts!
I wish they would've signed the guy who wore his leg out after 2 hours of practice.
Are their fans actually predicting a victory over Jacksonville this weekend?
Most.
Some are worried about Jones and the rest of the tall WRs without Springs.
But most think a rebirth has taken place and that Saunders and Gibbs have righted the ship. They believe that since Portis is back they are great.
And most of them are dismissing the Henderson/Stroud DT duo. Said Henderson is a puss because he has the guy smack the shtein out of him before the game to get pumped up. Think Rabach/Dockery and Thomas will pimp slap them.

Very much so. Down here on the Snyder paid for radio stations, they are talking about how they are going to grind the Jags to dust with their awesome run game, and the Skins D will stuff the Jags anemic offense.
On the other non-Danny owned stations, callers and hosts alike believe the Skins will triumph undoubtedly, but it'll be a tough game.
They are all so out of touch. Jacksonville is going to eviscerate them. It's going to be so very enjoyable to watch.
My popcorn is ready for that as well. I'm glad the Eagles are on Monday night, because I want to watch every bit of the Jacksonville massacre of the skins live in high definition.
Philly gets the Pats/Cinci game. Boooo.
Shawn Springs had to go see a specialist in Philly today (probably William Myers, the guy who did McNabbs surgery).
ESers want Snyder to trade for Nate Clements right now. They say give up a #1 for him.
Which 1 would that be? The 2007 one is going to Denver. The 2008?
God gives Joe Gibbs unlimited #1 picks. Thus the idiotic trades.
Hello, I am a fan of an opposing NFC East team and I have opinions other than the ones voiced here!
Um, in all seriousness, any knowledgable Skins fan (I hope to include myself and not be labled pretentious) has no illusions about how difficult the Jagyooarrrrrrrrs game will be, especially without the services of Mr. Springs. Frankly I've seen/heard/read/dreamt about none of the overly confident swagger cited here. And, yes I live in the DC area, so I'm exposed to it. Full disclosure: I also work for TheHogs.Net.
It's a very tough game, as are the next four. I'd be pleased with a 2-2 split.
P.S. The Eagles suck (I'm required to say that)

If I were a Niner fan I would be shteinting myself with joy at the taterskins right now. I mean jesus.
The taterskins fans in that Stallworth thread refuse to allow anyone to bring up all three of thier top WR's numbers in comparsion to Stallworth's. It's quite funny.

Brandon Lloyd - 3 games, 3 catches, 26 yards
Antwaan Randle El - 3 games, 10 catches, 76 yards, 1 TD, 9 punt returns, 8.8 YPR average (13th best in NFL)
Adam Archuleta - 3 games, 19 tackles, 1 PD
Andre Carter - 3 games, 6 tackles, 0 sacks

Es'ers are having a Mark Brunell Q & A session; check out how Art sets it up (http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=171886)
QuoteExtremeskins is pleased to bring you an interactive chat opportunity with the quarterback and NFL record holder of the Washington taterskins, Mark Brunell.
And some questions;
QuoteHi,
What could the fans and ES members do to help you and the team out?
QuoteMark,
Just out of curiosity, pretend you are able to clone one taterskin wide reciever multiple times for you to have as your one reciever to throw too. Which reciever would you love to have 4 or 5 clones of, and why did you choose that guy?
QuoteMark,
Was there any pressure from the fans in Washington to motivate you for your fine performance on Sunday, or do you ignore criticism outside of the organization?
QuoteMark, thank you for last season and our first trip to the playoffs in what has seemed like forever.
Joe Gibbs is my idol, what's it like playing for him? Who is more impressive, Joe the man or Joe the coach???
Gibbs hater thread; guy says Gibbs II is 17-18 and is mediocre. Its like tossing a t-bone into a lions den...watch the angelettes eat him up (http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=172155)
QuoteNot including pre or post season, Gibbs II is 17 Wins and 18 Losses. Most coaches talk of a three year plan. What has changed? The Kool Aid drinkers on this board will go off with no logic, but facts are facts. We are under .500 in Gibbs II reign and have had the same themes for 2+ years.
1. Good defense though with little pass rush.
2. Horrific special teams coverage and kicking (though Frost looks like he has come around.
3. Some good trades, but mostly bad ones and even the good ones we wildly overpaid for.
4. Undependable offense.
Im sorry, but it looks like 2006 will be a repeat of the others. Kool aid drinkers, come back with logic and facts - not signatures and newbie comments. If you are mature, youll avoid that and debate facts
:-D
oh god those questions are great.
That poor guy hating on Joe Gibbs will be banned in no time.
QuoteLarry on taterskins lunch said cooley cut his hair. Maybe this will help change his play on the field and we will start seeing the real cooley. I was kind of looking forward to seeing cooley with a mullet though. Way to go cooley.
And maybe Cooley will play more like Cooley. It will be nice to see Cooley on the field, and having Brunell throw to Cooley with his new Cooley hair cut. Cooley is definately the best TE in the Cooley, and Cooley loves Cooley. Joe Gibbs, Cooley. Angel Cooley Gibbs Joe Cooley.
Favre Cooley.
Thats then new Koolaid...Farve Cooley
but does he still wear short shorts?
They're called hot pants 8)

QuoteWin this game.....and all of our lives change dramatically. Because you know, just like I know, that the taterskins winning is what makes us going through each day a little better. I dont know why, I dont know how, I just know that when the taterskins are winning I feel much better about my every day tasks in life. I feel as though no matter what obstacle I have to overcome I can do it with ease.
Now I have only truly felt this once, for a period of about two months....last season when the Skins went on the five game win streak and into the playoffs. At 22, I remember the Super Bowl in 91, but I was seven and even though I already loved the Skins, I was more concerned with Ninja Turtles. In 99 I was excited about the taterskins, but I just didn't have the same feeling I have with the current Skins. They were good, but the defense was awful and the receivers were Albert Conell and Michael Westbrook. Overall I just never felt the same as I do about this current squad, for obvious reasons.
I don't need to discuss all the reasons why we are a Super Bowl caliber squad, each of you knows why, and that is why everyone is so criticial of every aspect that has anything to do with the Washington taterskins. There is no reason why the Skins can't win it all, NO REASON.
Like I said, I'm 22 and dangerously close to entering the "real world", and I have many goals that I have set for myself. Hopefully I will be able to accomplish all of my goals regardless of how the Skins are doing; with hard work, grit and determination (sound familiar), but it would help a lot to have the Skins to provide motivation...and I may even NEED it.
The day I had today is the reason I am prompted to write this. It was one of the worst days I can remember, and I wont get into details, but lets just say anything that could go wrong did, right down to the soda machine taking the last four quarters to my name. I will wake up tomorrow ready to go to battle again and hope it will turn out a little different. But here is where the Skins come into play. I need them to win, I need them to be succesful because if they can accomplish what I feel like is nearly impossible, SO CAN I.
My reason for telling you this is because I know you are the same way. It may vary from person to person, but overall, everyones lives are alot better when their beloved Skins are winning ball games. We have given our hearts to something that we cannot actually fix ourselves, we rely on others to make the correct choices for us, and for them to return the favor by winning, is an amazing feeling.
However, Ive decided we have to take matters into our own hands. It is time for the taterskins to knock off some of the best teams, starting this week with Jacksonville. We, as fans are going to will the Washington taterskins to greatness. As fans we have to eliminate all doubt, all concerns, and trust the taterskins. It sounds hard to do but its not, just have faith in your team. Whether you are going to the game or not, give everything you have as a fan on Sunday, no matter where you are... it will be felt. If you are at the game, give two times what you think you are capable of. Chug more beers, scream louder, clap harder, go crazier than you actually thought you could. Don't have a heart attack, but go so crazy you start to feel your arm go numb. This is our team, this is our time; do something for yourself, your life, your team, and give everything you've got. If you do this....WE will win.
If you think Im wrong, do it anyways, but stop and think about it first....The Saints on Monday night, The Giants last year against us, Dale Earnhardt Jr. winning the Daytona 500, the list goes on and on. Wins come when players and fans give all they have, in those cases they were because of events that happened off the field of play, but in our case, this effects every single one of us every single day...so make the taterskins win. The Skins are a part of you.
Do not let the Jacksonville Jaguars come into Fed Ex and get a win. Eliminate the ifs, buts, concerns, problems, Mark Brunell, and anything else that causes you to have doubt and tell yourself the Jacksonville Jaguars will not come to our house and knock us off under any circumstances.
Jesus.
Wow. What a nutjob.
Mark Brunell speaks the fans, confidence buzzing:
QuoteWe certainly appreciate the support of our fans. We've got the best fans in the NFL and we're going to need that 12th man this week because we've got a tough game. Stay in it. Stay with us. Hopefully we'll make some big plays and give the fans reason to cheer.
Excuse me a minute... I've gotta wipe some throw up off my monitor.
That brings homerism to a new level. I don't even think the word homerism applies. It's beyond that. Seems more like a dissolutional phsycopath.

This guy takes football a little too seriously for only being a spectator. I'm happy when the Eagles win and pissed when the lose but what happens on the field does not determine the level of self confidence I have about my ability to deal with life.

No, you're not going to will them to win. You're going to watch Jacksonville carve them up like a Thanksgiving Day turkey. I can only hope he keeps a fully loaded gun nearby and plays a one man game of Russian Roulette during halftime.

Fast fact of the day:
Reggie Brown has 2 fewer career TD catches than Antwaan Randle El.
Crazy Prediction:
Reggie Brown will surpass ARE before the end of the season.
Barry_Wilburn speaks da troof and is mocked;
QuoteI'm going on record:
The taterskins will lose big tomorrow.
Another prediction:
They will win a maximum of six games this year.
A third prediction:
They will be in worse shape when Gibbs leaves this time than the fist time.
Why am I so confident? It's simple. They have bad, old players, and no currency to get better players in the near future. In the past three years, Joe Gibbs, Dan Snyder and Vinny Cerrato have essentially stocked the roster with group that ON THE WHOLE that is middle of the road talent playing for elite money.
Here is the legacy of Gibbs 2:
- Champ Bailey and a 2nd for Clinton Portis
- Drafting Taylor, Rogers, Campbell in the first round
- A third round pick and a huge contract for Mark Brunell
- Big money deals to Shawn Springs, Marcus Washington, Cornelius Griffin, Andre Carter, Adam Archuletta, Casey Rabach, David Patten
- Traded draft picks for TJ Duckett, Brandon Lloyd, James Thrash
- Draft day trades for Cooley, Campbell and McIntosh
- Letting the following players leave through FA or a salary cap move: Smoot, Pierce, Royal, Clark, Walt Harris, Arrington and Trotter
- Re-signing Chris Samuels to a big money extension
Here's the good:
- Rogers, Taylor and Cooley appear to be very good draft picks
- There are indications that Golston may be a good value pick (I'm stretching here)
- McIntosh and Jason Campbell have not been on the field yet, but could plausibly contribute at some point
- Griffin, Washington and Springs were good signings
- Moss is great (however Coles is doing pretty darn well in NY now that Pennington is back)
Here's the bad:
- The left tackle is the foundation of an NFL offense and the taterskins are paying a top 15 player top 3 money. Samuels is also approaching 30.
- Mark Brunell is a horrible QB. He is being paid big money and is sucking up time that could be spent developing a young QB.
- The following Gibbs drafted players are no longer on the 53 man roster: Jared Newberry, Mark Wilson, Robert McCune, Manuel White, N. Broughton, Kili Lefotu, Kevin Simon ***Only 9 out of the 16 draft picks actually exercised by Gibbs are still on the roster. Three players are starters.
- Looking across all trades, here is the sum total -- Champ Bailey, one first round pick, two second round picks, four third round picks, two fourth round picks and a sixth round pick for the following: Clinton Portis, Jason Campbell, James Thrash, Rocky McIntosh, Brandon Lloyd, Mark Brunell and TJ Duckett. Out of that haul, only three players are starters – Portis is the only elite player.
- Letting Antonio Pierce go to a division rival
- Letting Fred Smoot go
- Paying Archuletta $30mm to replace Ryan Clark who would have cost half that
- Giving big money to Andre Carter
- Giving a contract to Michael Barrow
- Not trading Ramsey to the Jets during last season
The reality is that the taterskins have few draft picks left next year, and little money to spend on free agents. If they're lucky, they'll be ably to re-sign their budding star TE and their best offensive lineman (Dockery). After that, they'll be little money to spend on the secondary, d-line and o-line. Mediocre and/or aging players like Rabach, Daniels, Jansen, Carter and Thomas will continue to hold their starting jobs without competition as the few moves that can be made will go towards plugging the BIG holes and backup spots will continue to be manned by sub-quality talent.
Think back to preseason. Game plans were vanilla and teams went "mano a mano" without help from scheme. The taterskins first, second and third string players were soundly beaten in all four games. This was a solid indicator of how poor the roster was. Starting tomorrow, it will become even more obvious that the 2006 taterskins are at best a .500 team, that is closer to fading into irrelevance than to winning a Super Bowl.
Mock me if you wish, but I'm going on record. In two months you'll see that I was right

QuoteMark Brunell is a horrible QB. He is being paid big money and is sucking up time that could be spent developing a young QB
I've been saying that since last year. The Skins are just plain baaaad, and worse with a over the hill qb. So much for all the bullcrap talk about the NFC East being so much better.
brunnell is born again and a full fledged member of the gawd squad....he isnt going anywhere...he couldnt buy a job in the league and gibbs gives him 25 mil??...think about it

Some of the Skins fans were saying that last year - that the only reason Joe got him was because they both can thump the bible with the best of 'em.
I didn't know Brunnell was a bible thumper. If he was able to get a $25mil contract maybe this whole Jesus thing really works. hmmmmmm.

QuoteBold Prediction
I could be completely wrong, but I have a feeling that this game isn't going to be like anything anyone expects
I think the Skins will not only win but score more than 21 points, and win by at least 10 points.
It's not just a homer feeling.
I think the Skins have too much speed on offense and the OL will have a big game against the Jags DL, which will give Brunell time to throw, and Give Portis lanes to get big yardage, because the Jags crowd the line and if he can get past the first wave, it could be "off to the races"
You also see the defense getting better each week, I think this week, they eliminate the stupid penalties on 3rd down, and are able to pressure Leftwich and his slow windup motion, and clay feet. Our D is the most physical they've played so far, IMO
I also have a feeling the Jags will be on an emotional let down after losing to the Colts yet again, and may take the Skins lightly because of the slow start and just beating the Texans last week.
If we can get a lead and force them into a game of catchup, and not controlling the clock with their run game, we can take them out of their game and beat them... If we can control the clock like last week... but that is a big if
I want everyone on this board who has called me a homer to take it back.
My levels of homerism don't even come close to Skins fans and you all know it.
They have redefined the "homer" category.
You're the original homer. Sure, these guys may have taken it to the next level but you it was only because of your inspirational guidance. If homerism were the force, you'd be Yoda and Skins fans would be Anikin Skywalker.

QuoteBrunnell deep ball is sad
Those fargs better not bitch about the refs anymore...
They got a gift fumble. Campbell "forces" Pearman to fumble on a PR. Except Pearman's knee and ass were down when the ball got ripped out. They reviewed it and still gave WAS the ball. That lead to the FG.
And Saint Joe got booed. He opted to kick a FG with :11 to go and not take a shot at the EZ.
And some douche starts a thread biyching about Randy Cross pointing out the dude's knee was down. And TV clearly showed it was down but yet this guy is in denial...
QuoteFor a announcer who is suppose to be neutral while calling a game, he sure is leaning towards the Jags. On the fumble that was reviewed, he swears the knee was down. How in the hell could he see somehting that no camera angle showed??
Cross, you need to remain neutral while calling the game, if you can't, maybe the network needs to fire your ass. The ref made the correct call, and let the ruling stand, because there was no camera angle that could prove otherwise.
If you got money on the game Cross, I would be carefull not to show your hand on live TV.
Everyone hates the Skins!

Also, Burns was in as safety, so, I think Archuleta was not at the end of the game. Sign of things to come perhaps. Archuleta had a better game, but he's not a coverage guy as we've been told and know.

The Eagles can never win a game without the refs help according to Bubba.
That fool is a joke.
Why the 'skins offense is better than the Eagles:
QuoteLets see
QB- eagles
RB- taterskins
TE- taterskins (though close)
OL- taterskins
WR- taterskins
Depth- taterskins
The Eagles are #1 in the NFL by playing not one defense above a #24 ranking
#24, #27, #31 & #32
The Skins are #3, having played 3 defenses ranked in the top 10
#3 (dropped after losing to the Skins to #14) #5, #10, and #32
hmmmm how could anyone think the Skins could be better on offense
sometimes people need to die to better mankind.....

Come on. It's not that they don't know, it's that half the people there are rooting for the other team.
Now I know why Bubba whines so much about the refs...
His god and savior is sending another letter, his fourth this year (one after each game) to the NFL to whine about the excessive celebration penalty that the Skins got after one of their TDs.
Nevermind that the Jags got one too after recovering Brandon Lloyd's fumble.
They're just biased against the Skins. Obviously.
Dear lord. Sometimes I'm glad our coach doesn't have a personality.
You call what JG has a personality? :o
I like his Curt Schilling impression.
Remember when Curt would put the towel over his head when Mitch Williams was in to close a game?
Watch Gibbs when he sends John Hall out to kick a FG. Against Minnesota he kept his head down and refused to watch. Against Jacksonville he actually said a prayer to himself.
Confidence in your kicker, Joe. :yay

QuoteWashington running back took himself out of game vs. Jaguars
By Joseph White
The Associated Press
October 4, 2006, 6:08 PM EDT
ASHBURN, Va. -- When Clinton Portis took himself out with the game with the score tied late in the fourth quarter, the coach calling the plays was far from pleased.
"I was not happy about that," Washington taterskins assistant Al Saunders said Wednesday.
Portis, who decides when he plays and when he sits, decided to sit mid-drive with the score tied at 27 and the ball in the opponent's territory in Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ladell Betts entered and ran the ball on the next three plays, including a third-and-1 that he failed to convert.
"The first thing that went through my mind: 'Why are you coming out?'" Saunders said. "I talked to Clinton about that today. There's a scenario, and you're trying to set up things sometimes. And if he comes out to--quote, as he said--'recover,' it sometimes really throws you off."
QuoteJoseph White stirring up the (picture of shtein) again.
QuoteI don't believe this for a second
QuoteOne could easily assume this to be taken out of context, too.
Saunders could have said that with a smile on his face, or with a chuckle. The writer makes it seem like Al was serious about it, and that may not be the case.
QuoteI have trust in Gibbs that he will talk to both Saunders and Portis behind closed doors about this matter.
Gibbs needs to talk to Saunders and tell him that he needs to trust Portis knowing that Portis knows himself best on when he needs breathers, and to rest his shoulder.
Portis needs to be talked into trusting Saunders, and knowing that Saunders will give Portis enough time to rest without giving too much of a workload in between.
Both needs to be talked to about not letting this stuff get to the media. The media openly loves these types of things, and likes it to fester (like TO and Shockey).
And I trust Joe Gibbs to do all of that, well because he's Joe Gibbs.

HAIL

Article (http://www.examiner.com/a-327725~No_love_lost_for_LaVar.html)
QuoteWhen asked what help Giants linebacker LaVar Arrington could provide about the taterskins' defense, Lindsey replied, "None. He didn't know anything when he was here, what makes you think he'll know something up there?''
After saying, "I shouldn't have said that,'' Lindsey a few moments later said he was just being honest.
Earlier in the day, corner Shawn Springs said, "I don't think LaVar knew all the defenses when he was here.''
QuoteHowever, when asked by CBSSportsline.com earlier this summer which coach he would not want to play for, Arrington replied, ''Joe Gibbs.''
WP article (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/05/AR2006100501218.html?nav=rss_sports)
QuoteBut in between his attempts to stay above the fray, Arrington got in his digs -- at Lindsey, at Springs, at Gibbs, at the taterskins in general. He said he even gave a copy of the taterskins' playbook to Giants Coach Tom Coughlin.
Quote"I told him the little bit that I know about the Washington taterskins," Arrington said, a reference to Lindsey's comment Wednesday that Arrington couldn't help the Giants prepare for the taterskins because he didn't know anything when he was with the taterskins. "It was like a two-minute conversation. But what I did know [is], I do have your playbook. So if I don't understand it, I'm sure Coach Coughlin can decipher it."
Arrington, asked if he was serious and really had a copy of the playbook, said, "Sure, I do." It was pointed out that a player is supposed to turn in his playbook when he leaves a team, and Arrington said: "Well, I'm gone now. [It's] Arrington property now. Or New York Giant property now. And I understand some things."
QuoteLindsey said Thursday there's a process by which players have to check in and check out their playbooks and all should be accounted for before a player leaves. He did not rule out the possibility that Arrington had one or had made a copy, but said, "If he has got one, I guarantee you it's never been opened."
QuoteSprings also said Wednesday that Arrington didn't seem to know the taterskins' defense.
"Shawn Springs, all he really did for himself is show himself to the taterskins fans like, that's stupid," Arrington said. "That's stupid to even make a comment like that, to be honest. So he showed himself and he's got to deal with that, not me."
Of Springs, who's been sidelined by a groin injury, Arrington added later: "You get some guys, they feel like they know a whole lot of things. Maybe he's one of those guys that feels like he knows a whole lot. I don't know. It's interesting to me. I don't know that he's even playing, so why would you make a snide remark and you're not even having anything to do with the outcome of the game? . . . You have a coach throw a statement out there. You get a company guy to sit there and co-sign it, and what do you get? People believe it."
QuoteArrington said that if Gibbs truly had wanted things to work out, he would still be with the taterskins.
"He's Joe Gibbs, man," Arrington said. "If he wanted something to be different, it would have been different. Am I lying? Is that an accurate statement? He's a part of the trinity, some people would say. . . . But there's no need looking back on that. It is what it is. I could care less. Joe Gibbs could call me the worst person in the world or he could call me the best person in the world. It doesn't matter. Who is he? He's just the coach of another team that we're playing."
I love it. :yay
Good stuff. Wonder if Arrington has the 700 page Saunders playbook or if he has the Gibbs Bible.

Quote"I told him the little bit that I know about the Washington taterskins," Arrington said, a reference to Lindsey's comment Wednesday that Arrington couldn't help the Giants prepare for the taterskins because he didn't know anything when he was with the taterskins. "It was like a two-minute conversation. But what I did know [is], I do have your playbook. So if I don't understand it, I'm sure Coach Coughlin can decipher it."
Arrington, asked if he was serious and really had a copy of the playbook, said, "Sure, I do." It was pointed out that a player is supposed to turn in his playbook when he leaves a team, and Arrington said: "Well, I'm gone now. [It's] Arrington property now. Or New York Giant property now. And I understand some things."
Built-in Skins fan excuse #1 for Sunday's loss. Book it.
Besides the refs, of course.
The refs are ALWAYS the #1 reason why the Skins lose any game. Always!
the skins lose?
Sometimes. But it's only because of the refs.
They'll always be the emotional winners.

QuoteWhat's this you ask? This be a hat. But more than that, a hat you can buy for less than your shunned brother -- shunned for not being an ExtremeSkin fan. You see, the code here is only seen here. So, you gotta be here to benefit.
Here's what you have to do. Click the following link:
http://store.taterskins.com/productin...code1=501&sn=10
If you're interested in purchasing to receive your 30 percent off, just type SIDELINE at checkout. This code is good until Midnight, Oct. 8, 2006, so, after we dominate the Giants, you have a little longer to purchase.
Now, I know not everyone will buy, but, I wanted to say a couple of things from a personal standpoint. One of the areas I wanted to improve for fans when we started talking to the team about providing their fan site was to get deals only available to us, specifically crafted to what we wanted.
Based on what you guys do with this, more deals can be made available. But, more than that, the team wants you to help them by telling them what YOU want discouted. With the right level of interest, we could see more deals weekly and deals even from team sponsors. So, it's probably worth it if you like baseball caps to buy this one.
If you are at taterskins.com and viewing the store and come across an item you'd like to see discounted for purchase, simply copy the link and put it here. The team will listen to what you guys want. Now, bear in mind, they will not be able to discount any jersey, but, pretty much everything else is potentially possible.
Essentially you guys will dictate how much of this is done by your interest in this promotion and this thread. And, of course, if you buy enough I get a luxury box. Ok, I don't, but I should.
Art.
Yea, that's right. He's hawking taterskins gear for taterskins.com and justifying it as some deal with the fans that only the Skins would offer. Sellout. Wow.

The Eagles are #1 in the NFL by playing not one defense above a #24 ranking
#24, #27, #31 & #32
The Skins are #3, having played 3 defenses ranked in the top 10
#3 (dropped after losing to the Skins to #14) #5, #10, and #32
hmmmm how could anyone think the Skins could be better on offense
How's that offensive doing now, Bubba? :-D

Washington Post; Duckett active but sees no snaps; Lloyd not doing anything (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/08/AR2006100800769.html)
QuoteRunning back T.J. Duckett was active Sunday for the first time since Week 2, but once again did not get on the field, while wide receiver David Patten was scratched from the lineup.
Duckett, a short-yardage specialist, was acquired from Atlanta in the preseason for the equivalent of a high third-round pick but has appeared in only one game, when he carried five times. Sunday was the second time he was in uniform for a game but never entered it
QuoteWide receiver Brandon Lloyd, who was acquired from San Francisco in the offseason for two draft picks and signed to a long-term contract extension in April, is still looking for his first impact game with the taterskins. Lloyd was held without a catch Sunday and has six catches for 75 yards this season.
Lloyd has yet to catch more than three balls in a game or amass even 50 yards in a game. He was held without a catch for the second time this season and Washington had just 109 passing yards.
"You can't sit there and cry about it and be selfish about it," wide receiver Santana Moss said. "You've got to wait your turn and wait to get that chance. The opportunities today were very slim."
QuoteGiants running back Brandon Jacobs claimed the taterskins use dirty tactics and accused Sean Taylor of "hitting between the legs and stuff like that. I don't buy those kind of things." He said that Omar Stoutmire spat on him last year. Taylor, fined by the NFL for spitting in a playoff game against Tampa Bay in January, did not comment after the game. . . .
NY Daily News; taterskins Playing Dirty (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/story/459912p-386948c.html)
QuoteBrandon Jacobs and Rich Seubert can't wait to see the taterskins again at the end of the season. And it has very little to do with the Giants' easy 19-3 home win over Washington yesterday.
Jacobs and Seubert accused the taterskins of being a classless, dirty team, and both had words with Washington safety Sean Taylor in the tunnel as the two teams went back to their respective lockers.
"I felt that this was a dirty team from last year," said Jacobs, who claims that former taterskins cornerback Omar Stoutmire spit at him in a game last season. "They spit in my face last year."
Jacobs went on to say that the taterskins try to injure players with cheap shots and low blows.
"It was team-wide," Jacobs said. "It seems like they teach it. We are a pretty high-class team. We don't do anything like that. I don't play like that. It just makes me mad when people do it to me. Be professional. That is high school, you don't do that in college. That is for high school."
Jacobs and Taylor were jawing at each other during the game. At the end, as the Giants were taking a knee to run the clock out, Seubert said the taterskins aggressively attacked the line instead of backing off.
"Shows their class," said Seubert, who initially declined to say much about the taterskins. "Watch the tape."
In the tunnel after the game, Seubert yelled at Taylor, "See you in a few weeks." That was the clean version of it.
Jacobs also exchanged some words with Taylor, telling him, "You're a DB, not a LB."
Taylor is known for his hard hitting but also for crossing the line at times. He spit on Tampa Bay running back Michael Pittman in the playoffs last year and lied about doing so afterward. Taylor ignored questions from reporters after the loss to the Giants.
Jacobs, however, hammered the taterskins and their coaching staff.
"(The taterskins) didn't spit this year but (they) tried to do everything else," Jacobs said of the team the Giants won't face again until Dec. 30. "Twisting ankles, hitting between the legs and stuff like that. I don't buy those kind of things. I'm not a dirty player. I might talk a little bit but not twist any ankles or hit anybody in the groin."
Shut up. My skins aren't done. Ask this guy.
QuoteOur last game in October will be against the Colts, Oct. 22nd. Although it appears that we might lose this game, it's still not the end of the season. The worst we could end up, by the end of Oct., is 2-5, considering if we lose both to the Titans and Colts. However, I do think we will win both games!
Now, when it comes to playing in the months of November and December, Joe Gibbs' track record reflects a positive outcome. Remember last year when the taterskins won their last six games of the season, including one playoff game, that was very impressive, wasn't it?
It doesn't stop at last year, but other winning seasons Joe Gibbs had, during his first era, also reflects a positive outcome in the month of November and December. History will repeat itself!
Once we come back from our break our first game is against the Cowboys on Nov. 5th, at FedExField. Of the last nine games, five of them are at home. I still believe we can end up at 11-5 this season.
HTTR!

Quote2-3, last place, and right on track
Looking at the schedule back in July, I fully expected this team to be 2-3 right now -- and on track for the playoffs. The way they got to 2-3 is unexpected (I thought they'd beat Minny and lose to the Jags), but the record isn't.
The road ahead ain't all that bad. The Skins have to win all their home games in the NFC East and can't afford to lay another egg like they did yesterday, but they have a real shot at the playoffs. Brunell has to be more consistent, the playcalling must improve, the defense has to tackle, and the whole team needs a good kick in the ass to fire them up, but we're right on track.
In the next 11 games, the Skins have to beat Tennessee, Dallas, Philly (at FedEx), Giants, TB, New Orleans, St Louis. That's 9 wins. The two game road stretch at NO and St Louis will be tough, but they'll be exposed as pretenders by then.
The Skins will almost certainly lose to Indy and @ Philly.
That leaves Carolina and Atlanta as the toss-ups. Win one of those and they're in the playoffs. Lose both, and they're not. Both home games, so I like our chances.

So, as of today:
Lloyd has less yards in the season than Reggie Brown and Hank Baskett had in the previous game.
And has less yards than Stallworth - and he's missed 2 games.
Even scarier, he has less yards than Lito Sheppard.

QuoteThere was no immediate explanation for why former New York Giants punter Sean Landeta appeared to be working out for the team as well
*cue creepy eyes pic*
QuoteThat's kind of funny since you have played two of those teams at home and are 1-1 in those games. In the other one Dallas had a 1st and goal to tie the game with less than a minute to go. The other 3 wins were against teams that combined for 10 wins total last year.
The Eagles have been favored in all 5 games and have won 4. None of those 5 teams have a winning record. They have given up 24 points or more in 3 of the 5 games. The Eagles have done exactly what they were expected to do.....except they lost to the Giants.
If you look at the schedule like a golf scorecard the Eagles are sitting at 1 over par with the Giants game being a bogey. Here are the division standings based on this system:
Giants -1 (Eagles win a birdie, underdogs in Indy & Seattle games and favored in Skins)
Cowboys E (Favored in Skins and Titans, underdogs Eagles & Jags)
Eagles +1 (Favored in all games, lost to Giants)
Skins +1 (Favored against Texans, home against Jags, lost on the road to Dallas, Giants, bogey for home loss to Vikings.
So in effect, there are two games so far this season that didn't go according to plan. The Giants-Eagles and Skins-Vikings games. Win a division game on the road and you can start to brag.
ES'er using a goddamn golf score analogy.

brilliant. it doesn't really matter if you win or lose.
as long as the oddsmakers in vegas pick you to lose, it's still considered a win.

QuoteExtremeSkins Fan View: Waiting Game
By Mark Steven
ExtremeSkins.com
October 12, 2006
"Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle."
-- Abraham Lincoln
Honest Abe too heavy for a football column? Fair enough.
Consider if you will a certain scene in The Matrix. In this scene, the Oracle--a wise old sage with a permanently bemused expression--first meets our hero, Neo. Seems she has reason to suspect he could be The One.
And so she watches him, chats him up, takes his measure. Finally, she renders her verdict.
"Sorry, kid," she tells him, solemnly. "You got the gift, but it looks like you're waiting for something."
I submit for your consideration the 2006 Washington taterskins. Through four lackluster preseason and five wildly uneven regular season games, one thing alone seems constant about this team--they seem to be waiting for something.
In the preseason, that something was the regular season. They told us as much, and clearly believed it.
In their nationally televised Monday Night home opener against Minnesota, it looked as if they were waiting for the return of a healthy Clinton Portis and Shawn Springs. Or, perhaps, waiting for the proverbial "someone else" to make the big play. They didn't play badly, just not with the level of intensity and focus expected of a team with the promise and potential of this one.
Against Dallas, the sense that they were waiting for something grew stronger. From the start, the entire team looked a step slow. As if the whistle blew before they were ready. On offense, two quick three-and-outs. On defense, two consecutive scoring drives against and a quick 10-0 deficit. You hate to ever say this about your favorite team, but the Cowboys simply looked like they came out wanting it more.
After falling behind 17-3 in the second quarter, the taterskins looked done. Then suddenly, there was Rock Cartwright, busting through the wedge and returning a kickoff 100 yards for a score, and the team came to life. Half of it, anyway. While the Portis-less offense continued to struggle, a re-energized defense forced five consecutive Dallas punts, and, with the team hanging in and down by only seven late in the 3rd quarter, forced a possible game-changing turnover at the Dallas 39-yard-line.
The offense, as we remember all too painfully, could not take advantage, however, and returned the favor a few plays later with an interception at the goal line. At which point the air went out of the defense, a 99-yard touchdown drive went the other way, and the game was over.
Still, the dramatic, tangible transformation in the body-language of the entire team after Cartwright's big play was unmistakable. For the first time in 2006, the taterskins showed flashes of the confident, motivated team they were to end 2005. A huge play by an individual, deep into the game, had finally sparked what up until that moment had seemed a singularly uninspired team.
Week three saw the team 0-2, and, one figured, chewing through their chinstraps to get at the Houston Texans. Instead, against one of the worst teams in football, they started flat again. On offense, a tepid 3-and-out. Texas took over and immediately drove 66 yards for a touchdown and 7-0 lead. As a taterskins fan, if you weren't deeply worried at that point, you were under general anesthetic somewhere.
As it turns out, the taterskins were simply waiting on something. That day, the something was a little shovel pass from Mark Brunell to Portis, who rambled 74 yards, setting up a Ladell Betts touchdown on the next play. The Portis play visibly ignited the entire team, and they rode the momentum to a dominating road win.
Ah, we figured. They've arrived.
Except that it didn't carry over. The waiting wasn't quite as obvious the following week against Jacksonville, nor did it last long, but it was there. The defense started well enough, forcing a 3-and-out on the Jaguars first possession, but the offense turned over the ball immediately on another awful interception, which led to 3 points against and yet another early deficit. Again, one team hit the field swinging; the other, seemingly, waiting for something good to happen.
Thankfully, Santana Moss provided something early on, taking a short Brunell pass on the very next drive, making a SportsCenter highlight run to paydirt, and igniting not only the taterskins but the 90,000 maniacs at FedExField. Once awakened, the taterskins competed, and won, like the team we, and they, expected them to be. Ah, we figured. Now they've arrived.
Surely the tremendous emotional high after the electric overtime victory over the Jaguars would carry into the next game--maybe to the entire season. You'd have thought.
In fairness, the Meadowlands have never been a particularly welcoming place for the taterskins. They've gone 0-3 there since Joe Gibbs' 2004 return. What you may not immediately recall is that even during their greatest run of glory, in Gibbs' first incarnation in Washington, they fared no better that 6-7 (with one of those losses coming in the '86 NFC Championship). Not unusual for a division road record, but considering that those taterskins teams were their finest ever, it speaks to their difficult history playing in The Land Fill.
Well, last year's 36-0 pummeling up there was bad enough. Fueled by the emotions surrounding the passing of Wellington Mara, and to a lesser degree the Antonio Pierce and Tim Hasselbeck "intel" angles, the Giants played inspired football and simply overwhelmed the taterskins. It hurt to lose in that way, but it was, at least, somehow understandable.
This year was worse. This year there were no compelling mitigating circumstances--at least not any that those of us not in the Ashburn meeting rooms have heard about. The Giants played solidly, but hardly inspired. Frankly, it just looked like the guys in blue hit the field hungrier than the guys in white.
In the days following the taterskins draining, 19-3 loss, fans and pundits alike have fallen all over themselves telling us why it happened. Telling us which particular elements of the team were responsible for the loss and their early season inconsistencies. Telling us it was everything from the team's front office strategies to the all-white uniforms.
I'm not going to presume to tell you what it was. I will suggest what I think it wasn't.
It wasn't overconfidence. It wasn't lack of talent. It wasn't the game plan. It wasn't the offensive line, quarterback, lack of pass rush or inability to stop the run. It wasn't a secondary always seemingly a step slow and second late. And it wasn't attempting a field goal on 4th and 1 late in the game. It was ALL of those things, and more. It was a team that came out waiting for something. And in this game, that something never came.
So that's the bad news.
The good news (neatly closing the circle on the whole movie thing) is that, in the end, Neo does indeed turn out to be The One. After all manner of trials and tribulations, he finds it in himself to overcome his limited, limiting view of himself, and takes charge of his destiny. The real world surely ain't Hollywood, true, but the 2006 Washington taterskins have the same opportunity.
For those who take comfort in numbers, here are some compelling ones. Joe Gibbs lifetime record, by month:
September: 32-22
October: 33-21
November: 36-23
December: 39-14
January: 19-5
I trust that the significance of those numbers are self-evident to anyone serious about NFL football. More importantly, I hope their significance is not lost on the guys bunkering down in Ashburn this week.
It's all still there in front of them. They still have the talent, they still have the coaching, they still have the potential. This taterskins team, even at 2-3 and desperately seeking its identity, is a modest two or three-game win streak from being right back in the middle of things. From being as dangerous as they appeared to be before the first whistle back in August, and as dangerous as they looked just eleven short days ago against Jacksonville.
But something has to change. Somehow, some way, the coaches and locker room leaders on this team have to find a way to ramp this team up before they ever take the field. Not just once, but every week. The disturbing trend of waiting on someone or something to show them the way each week has to end. Great teams don't need to be "sparked" every week by an individual big play. Sometimes, that play comes too late, and sometimes it doesn't come at all.
Until the taterskins find that certain missing element, they'll continue to struggle, and the football world will continue to revel in taking their best shots at them. When you start slow and lose ugly in the white-hot glare of today's professional football, particularly on a team carrying such high expectations, you're fair game to all the second-guessers. And as we've seen this week, some of them have pretty good aim.
From the first preseason game back in August, these taterskins have appeared to be waiting on something. If they have designs on silencing the rising tide of critics, and in turning 2006 into something memorable, they haven't much longer to figure what that is, and perhaps even less time to do something about it.

I'm not reading all of the crap. But it started with Abe Lincoln, and ended with the Matrix. I think thats enough.
Quotein Gibbs' first incarnation in Washington, they fared no better that 6-7 (with one of those losses coming in the '86 NFC Championship). Not unusual for a division road record, but considering that those taterskins teams were their finest ever, it speaks to their difficult history playing in The Land Fill.
Well, last year's 36-0 pummeling up there was bad enough. Fueled by the emotions surrounding the passing of Wellington Mara, and to a lesser degree the Antonio Pierce and Tim Hasselbeck "intel" angles,
:-D
Springs is making his debut for the Skins today. I hope Young has a break out game and the Titans win. Combined with an Eagles win, a few beers, and a blowjob, that would make for a perfect Sunday.
As of now the Titans are up 22-14. Travis Henry had a TD run, on the next drive the Titans blocked a punt for a safety.
At least the taterskins lost to the 0-5 Titans. :-\
Arguably the worst team in the NFL beat them today. Good job losing to the rookie making his second start, Gibbs.

No. The Raiders are now quite obviously the owners of that title.
You can't be the worst team if you beat the taterskins.
They were right up there as the worst until they won today... that's the irony.
This loss booted me out of Glen Macnow's suicide pool, and it was all worth it.

3 out of 4 ain't bad
QuoteHello fellow skins fans!!!! The last thing I want this to sound like is a pep talk after today...we lost to an 0-5 Titans team at home for goodness sake.
I'm not going to say you don't have the right to be embarassed, angry, disgusted, shocked and every other emotion I was feeling today. For those of you who have season tickets, who spend crazy money from them, to those like me who travel to a few games and spend crazy money. We deserve to be upset.
But at the end of the day we all love the taterskins and we need to show the resolve that makes us the best fans in the league. YES it's very hard after today. Still we are the same fans, who started the WE WANT DALLAS Chant, the same fans who helped and stuck by the team last year when things looked bleak. We are the fans who have the largest stadium in the league. We probably have the largest waiting list of all NFL teams. Not to mention countless other things that makes us the best fans in the league. We stuck around thought Norv and Spurrier....if that's not dedication I don't know what is.
Yes, I have post here that say "We SUCK" and I'm not going to the two games in Indy and New Orleans...BUT We are taterskinS FANS...lets stay loud and proud regardless, the team really needs us. Hey you all were upset that we were ranked 10th as fans in a post a while ago..lets prove everyone wrong. The bible has a reference to strength being made perfect in weakness...this is our time to show what we got. Regarless stay behind the guys, they are still OUR team, and the taterskinS have something no other team in the NFL has...US the BEST FANS in the NFL. Let's continue to show why we are the BEST FANS....Bring on the Colts....HAIL taterskinS

Obviously a lie. No Skins player would tell one of those angelic taterskin fans to shut their faces! Gibbs won't stand for that!
QuoteI don't see it as too bad though. Maybe the player was trying to concentrate on a scheme with the coaches and saw the fan as a heckler.
Quoteat the post game interviews... the one with sonny and sam.. they asked lloyd about the booing and he said something like: right now we don't really care about what the fans think, we have to be worry about the player and coaches.. that comment took me by surprise.. coz he should thank the fans for the 35m contract he got.

QuoteI sent a Fax to Coach Gibbs' office yesterday and within in an hour his secretary, Cindy, actually called me back at my office. We talked for a few minutes. She thanked me for the encouraging words and said that he will appreciate it, "because, as you can imagine, he has not gotten many encouraging letters like this lately". This tells me that Gibbs knows how bad it is and appreciates those that are still with him.
This really pissed me off because I used to pride myself in saying that taterskins fans were so loyal. All you fans that say the crap you do about Gibbs are pathetic. This is a man of high class and integrity that is a proven winner at everything he does. For those of us that are old enough to remember his 3 super bowl victories you have no idea what a slap in the face it is when you belittle and breate this man.
Life is about accountability so when the Skins start winning and make the playoffs I hope all of you Gibbs bashers stay away because we don't want you with us - not now and not ever!

QuoteAs I cry burgundy and gold, I know in my heart that my taterskins will survive.
I will never give up. I will wear my colors proudly and support the team with every ounce of passion I have. I will cheer loudly and I will never doubt my team. When they fail it means I failed them, when they win it means I helped them win. I pledge my loyalty to the taterskins. Will you stand behind me and do the same?
Our team can only do so much. They need the support of their fans to help them. It is still pulling at my heart strings to know that the fans booed the team. Even the news reported the booing. It is disgraceful that we were not there for the team when they needed us.
In my heart I know we will survive these growing pains and it will only make us stronger but the team needs us and we need to give them our all. No matter how upset or angry you are that we loss we need to pull together and support the team we all love!
We are Extremeskins! We are called Extremeskins for a reason! Not just because we are on a message board. We are the heart and soul of this team. We stand proudly and support the team with more passion than any other fans! We never falter we never doubt! We hold our heads up high and wear our colors proudly! I challenge all Extremeskins members and taterskin fans to come together wear your colors proudly, and to send your support to the team we all cherish! I give my pledge to the other taterskin fans today and I ask that you stand with me and do the same. Our team needs us more today than they ever have so let's all join together and send our team the support we need!

QuoteRyan O'Halloran, of the Washington Times, reports Washington taterskins RB Clinton Portis admits he expected to play a larger role in the club's new offensive system. "I have to adapt to his game plan," Portis said of offensive coordinator Al Saunders. "The game plan isn't just suited to me. It's a team effort and it's about spreading the ball around and getting the touches to all of the play makers. Right now, I haven't been getting the carries I expected to get, but it'll come." Likewise, Saunders is still getting accustomed to having a player like Portis in his backfield. "It's an ongoing thing," Saunders said. "linton missed training camp, has been in and out of the lineup the first several games. I'm just starting to get the feel for him."
yeah, it's not like he had, say, Priest Holmes in his backfield for years. how will he ever get used to having a premire back?

Ha! I thought the exact same thing when I read that blurb on KFFL.
He knows what Portis can do and what his strengths are. Any retard can see that Clinton's best is when he's in a zone scheme and is running mostly inside and getting a lot of carries. How can Mr. $2M and 700-page playbook not realize that? Gibbs is at fault too because he used Portis right last season.
And the Skins fans talk about Portis not being healthy early on - Ok, fine. So then Saunders should be using those WRs and TE. He only had Gonzalez in KC and they put up points. The Skins WRs are better than Kennison/Boerigter/Parker/Morton/slop.
They still defend the Duckett trade too. Nevermind Ladell Betts could've filled in and they could've kept that #3.
Oh - I was reading a Giants MB and a poster brought up a good point. Plaxico Burress' contract is LESS than what Brandon Lloyd is being paid. :-D

I see two games on that schedule in which they should be able grab victory from the jaws of defeat.
One of those games I'll be at, the other is on my birthday, so its practically a guarantee.
They'll beat the Eagles twice, that's it.
QuoteRemember this day. In ten years when we are holding the Lombardy trophy we will be glad we're taterskins fans.
What's the "Lombardy trophy"? Is that some kind of award for the worst team?
Portis has a high ankle sprain.
Moss has a left hamstring strain.
Brunell has a muscle train in his rib cage.
Are there any pictures "out there" of the hit Portis took in his manhood?
:-D Whoops.
Whats funny is the injury bug is hitting that team a year after it hit the Eagles and the Skins fans refused to say the Birds stunk last year because of injuries.
Sports hernia?! McNabb's a vadge, they'd say. Until Golden Boy Shawn Springs had the same thing.
Hamstrings? That Donte Stallworth is injury prone, they scream. Until Santana Moss, who has had hammy problems in the past in NY, gets hurt.

I dunno - but he took a solid shot. I cringed when I saw it happen live. Helmet to the sack is not a good thing. :poison
It's not like he uses them for anything else besides doing dudes in the butt.
I wonder if he dresses up for that too?
Steve Czaban's rant...
QuoteIt seems like for every failed taterskins coach under Dan Snyder, there's a single "moment" or phrase, or well.... THING... that stands out as a uniquely embarrassing moment that symbolizes the failure of that particular coach.
For Norv Turner, it was his decision to send out creaky Eddie Murray to attempt a 50 yard field goal to win the Giants game, when Murray himself said his range ended at 45. The kick failed, and Norv was fired that night.
For Terry Robiskie, it was saying he wouldn't move his desk unless Snyder gave him permission.
For Marty Schottenheimer, it was the fact he had exactly ONE audible for the entire year. I remember taterskins players lamenting after losses that other teams had figured out their audible – singular.
For Steve Spurrier there was a whole bucket of eye-poppingly stupid moments to choose from. But I'll take "Osaka!" as his poster child of ineptitude. He kept clinging to an exhibition game played half way around the world in August, as some kind of proof that his "system" worked at the pro level.
Now, we have Gibbs. And he has his moment of utterly pathetic embarrassment.
It came during his rambling presser following the Colts loss. But first, let's bullet point the nature of this defeat for context.
His team had just committed 35 yards worth of completely needless penalties (excessive celebration, off-sides on a kickoff, and taking your helmet off to argue with the refs) that had them kicking off at their OWN FIVE YARD LINE!
His team had just been carved up like swiss cheese on defense in the second half. The drives by the Colts were so breathtakingly easy, you would be hard pressed to find another three-drive sequence in the NFL this year, that looked this efficient.
Drive #1: 4 plays, 3 first downs, 55 yards, touchdown. Time: 2:01.
Drive #2: 4 plays, 3 first down, 81 yards, touchdown. Time: 2:02.
Drive #3: 7 plays, 4 first downs, 66 yards, touchdown. Time: 3:11.
All told, that's a touchdown every 5 plays!
Average gain per play, 13.4 yards.
Only 2 of those 15 plays did NOT result in a first down, or touchdown.
Total time elapsed: 7:14 seconds.
Applying that pace to an even 30 minutes of TOP during a game, it's an 84-point pace!
The taterskins gave up 36 points to a team without committing a single turnover of their own. The taterskins did not STOP the Colts once in the second half, unless you count taking a knee, as a "stop".
Joe Gibbs had just watched his team argue with each other on the sidelines, although he later denied seeing Ernest Byner have to physically restrain Brandon Lloyd from confronting Antwaan Randle El.
Joe Gibbs had just sent in his favored son QB Mark Brunell for a meaningless mop-up drive, only to have Dick Stockton and Troy Aikman – hardly guys known for ripping coaches – to openly wonder: "what the hell is this?"
Joe Gibbs had just floundered through every empty cliché he's always used instead of actually confronting real questions, or accepting real responsibility. Go ahead, kids, say them with me...
"Super smart guys."
"Fought our guts out."
"Best fans in the world."
"Figure this thing out together."
"We've got character guys."
"We've got guys with fight"
And then, the most absurd thing I think I've ever heard from a $7 million a year head football coach in the National Football League (excessive elongation of title and league names used on purpose for emphasis).
Gibbs said he was very sorry for not stopping the team buses as they rolled out to the airport from taterskin Park on Friday, because he failed to notice a group of fans who wanted to send the team off.
If that kind of ridiculous pandering wasn't enough, Gibbs then promised those fans (and who knows if they were actually real fans there, or just another Gibbs fabrication, or hallucination) "something special" if they came back to do it again after the bye week.
I kid you not.
My coach, actually said this.
On the podium, AFTER a loss like the one I described above.
Like kissing babies and doing whistle-stop meet and greets is most important to taterskins fans right now. It's not. Real fans could give two shteins if the buses RAN OVER those fans without slowing down. Real fans want to know one thing: Is my coach in control, and does he have a plan to make things better?
The answer now, is a resounding, unmistakable NO and NO.
Joe Gibbs 2.0 is over, folks. It just hasn't been made official yet.
There might be a Joe Gibbs 3.0 for years 4 and 5 of his massive, NFL record breaking contract.
It might be a software upgrade that re-institutes an emphasis on drafting and player development, and a repudiation of player purchasing.
It might be a software update that removes some of the coaching clutter on this staff.
It might be a software update that stops playing favorites with the QB, and embraces the notion of a "rebuilding" or "transition" year.
Or not.
We won't know, until we see the release. I have a bad, bad, bad feeling that we're only going to get Gibbs 2.1. A mere incremental change in philosophy, not an overhaul.
Or, he'll just walk away, and leave the dripping, leaky bag of a football team to somebody else. I'm going to assume he gets to keep the FedEx Denny Hamlin #11 car as a consolation prize.
For all the faithful, I can only offer this one saying: "It is what it is, they are what they are, serenity now."
Ha! :-D :-D
Those fans he's talking about are from, you guessed it, ExtremeSkins.com. So of course they're all pissy because Czaban, who they hate because he rips the team, is ripping Gibbs for talking about the fans. One guy who named his dog Gibbs went back out there to welcome them home last night.
:-D :-D :-D Czabe always has the normal view of Skins fans
QuoteThe taterskins gave up 36 points to a team without committing a single turnover of their own. The taterskins did not STOP the Colts once in the second half, unless you count taking a knee, as a "stop".
Ha!
At least the skins won't lose this weekend.
That's the only downer that comes with having a bye week. I'll have nothing to take comfort in when the Eagles lose.
It's always nice to have one franchise even more inept than your own.
so that makes the skins the platinum standard?

Well, suck it up, and start pointing and laughing, bitch.
Does this fool work for Fox News?
So I was in Quantico yesterday and today and when I was leaving to head back to NC I tuned in to the Snyder radio network and was listening to the John Riggins Show. They might as well call it the Extremeskins Call-In Show though because after listening to a couple callers I swear it sounded like ES had come alive. You'd think it would be rather entertaining to listen to while stuck in traffic on I-95 but it wasn't.
Listening to some of those idiots was quite unsetteling as it verified the actual existance of these people. Up until today I had been holding out hope that the internets was just making all that crap up. It felt like when you were a kid and realized that Santa Claus was fake.......only the other way around. Total bummer.
I wasn't aware Mr. Snyder had a radio station.
he bought all of them.
and you can clearly see by these still photos that the whistle has blown.

Guys, come on. I know we suck and all....but the taterskins suck hard. We can't give up on pointing and laughing at them.
If this team only wins two games for the rest of the year, I hope that they are the two games against the taterskins. We could go 2-6 the rest of the way and if we beat the Skins twice I'll be pleased.

And I'm signing up for anything this man has to send me. I only hope that in times of turmoil, I have his attitude and know where to always keep looking (up to God).

As much as it pains me, I'd like to see these horse-fargers beat the Cowboys today. Anything to keep the Eagles from going farther down the NFCE standings.

It's clearly good for the Eagles if the Skins win. To me, that takes precedence over natural hate for the Skins. Besides, I hate the Cowboys too.
Yeah, this does help the Birds.

And I saw Vincent get burned quite a few times in that game.
Yeah, he was burnt by TO and then TO dropped that sure TD pass. Would've been like a 60yd TD and Sleepy McHealthproblem dropped it.

Sorry, can't do that. My hatred for the skins is a close second to my hatred for the cowboys... but it's just that... second.
If the Eagles can only beat the Skins if the Skins have nothing to play for... then there's bigger things to worry about than who wins that game today.
Archuleta, despite getting benched, was in there on nickle and was smoked by Witten to set up that FG attempt. Its funny watching them bitch about his coverage skills when everyone in the goddamn world knew the dude couldn't cover except Gibbs, Williams, Cerrato and the Skins fans.

1. lol @ u. When you look at the other 4-4 teams, suddenly the Eagles don't look so bad. All you need to do is make the playoffs to have a shot. As a wildcard right now the Eagles have a great shot, and as a division winner, an outside shot.
2. The Cowboys are the Cowboys
3. So do the Eagles.
Washington at 2-6 would have given the same effort next week as Washington at 3-5, especially for a divsional game. Spin it however you want, but today's win helps the Eagles. Even if you're in the half-empty crowd that says we need a better draft pick, this brings Washington closer to passing Philly....
Our first round picks never do anything anyway. Not like a higher pick will matter.
I hate the taterskins and their obnoxious bandwagoning fruity ass fanbase but I hate the Cowfargers worse.
I don't care who beats the Cowboys as long as they lose.
Washington at 2-6 would have given the same effort next week as Washington at 3-5, especially for a divsional game.
wrong
2-6 has them looking at next year
3-5 has them looking at second place in the division
big difference
Spoken like a true Gibbs gobbler.
I think we'll trade you to ES for Bubba. At least he's out of the closet and has openly declared his manlove for all things taterskins.
The 2-6 teams are 2 games out of the wildcard spot. Nobody is looking at next year yet...
no 2-6 team has made the playoffs in 40 years...good try tho
had to laugh at he skins yesterday when they have seven chances sown at the goal line and tj '3rd rounder' duckett still cant sniff the field
taterskin week is on and crackin baby
For a change, I'm actually ok with the skins getting this win. I see them as much less of a threat than the Cowboys to the Eagles' slim chances of getting a wild card spot, and with TO heading to Dallas, I have the renewed hatred of the pukes as well. Plus, it's great that both teams blew a shot to win before one of them actually won. That, along with the events that led to the first score (safety) of the game, made it a good game to watch for those of us that despise both teams. Bravo to the skins for getting the win when we actually wanted them to win.

Plus you should never had a chance to make the FG, but got a chance on the missed FG by Novak
oh BTW when you grab the face mask and pull on it, it is always 15 yarder....which is exactly what happened, the cowboy player attempted to tackle by the face mask, not incidental contact while making a tackle

This is okay. The Skins beating Dallas helped us out standings wise, and the fact that we now can bring all these little fargers back down to reality with a win makes it all the better. These morons are riding high because of a fluke win, and think they can actually make the playoffs. What better way to end all their false hope than to win? Plus igy is now in hell for a week.

You think Runyan who has stated he wants more money and post-surgical Tra are your starting tackles?

Wow.
You really showed me. The Eagles are back to normal. If normal is completely inconsistent and playing with little heart.
And at the time, it really didn't look like Runyan would stay. Anyone who says differently is just lying.
Tra actually has played well in the games I watched, so that one I'll give you.
You guys are still arguing about something stupid from 8 months ago. It's like wine that keeps getting better with age. Except the exact opposite.
I wonder which of the ES.com flunkies will be at The Linc this weekend to cover the game for ES...
I can almost predict what they are going to write now. Horrible fans! Philly fans threw poo on us!

I'm going to the Linc with a taterskins fan and 2 other FAGles fans... I'm pretty sure we will be parking at the Green lot for tailgating... Any other taterskins faithful gonna be there? Let's take over the LINC!
Take over the Linc?

QuoteI went one year to a game at the Vet. Myself, Mrs Sarge a friend and his wife. There were other Skin fans in the area
It was pretty calm considering, until just about the end of the game when the Skins pulled ahead with not much time left
Then some guy about 4 rows back, I saw him out of the corner of my eye, launched a cup with what smelled like piss our way. We didn't get the brunt of it, but got enough.
The guy was jumping up and down cheering when I wallked down front and up the stairs to where he was sitting. I said "Excuse me" to the guy on the end of the row, reached over and punched the sorry sack of **** in the mouth.
I still have a scar on my middle knuckle where I busted it open on his teeth. In fact, I pushed a small chunk of his tooth out from under the skin of my knuckle after I got home. A couple of *******s grabbed me, but by then security was down there and to their credit, hung out for what was left of the game, even escorting us out through the parking lot.
I've never been back
Rachael Ray is constantly battling her weight, and even when she's heavy, her boobs are small. I saw her in person when she was filming $40 a day at a Durham Bulls game, and she's an extreme MEH.
That said, she's got money on top of money and she knows her way around a kitchen, so... hit.
racheal ray repulses me with her man hands

Those pants look like those ugly ass Zubaz pants that were around in the late 80's early 90's.
Rachael Ray looks like this chick I used to bang in SD, and she was only a MEH as well.
I don't care about her hands...I like her ass.
And yeah, tailgating with ES is a deal breaker. But it would be worse if he was chillin with the DTC.

she's still kinda cute though, and really short, so you could spin her around like a top.
QuoteLast year, here on this board, it was reported eagles fans had crapped on a taterskin fans' truck.
:-D
so i'm arguing with a bunch of skins fans at work yesterday and they told me how "the chief", who is some really old skins fans that dresses up and has been going to games forever, was tossed over the ledge at the vet and broke his legs.
and this lady that sits close to me told me how she "heard" about a pregnant ladt getting punched.
its ridiculous.
the chief did get broken up...tho not tossed over the railing...he got dragged into a 700 level bathroom and got his collarbone and arm broken
didnt see it....but i was at the game with my pops and got first hand info about it
Chief got his ass whooped pretty bad. That was quite a few years ago. I don't remember exactly what, but I think his injuries were a lot more than a broken collarbone and arm. Dude was pretty much lynched.

He hasn't missed a home or an away game in 30 years.
he had bumps and bruises but those were the major injuires....four steamfitters from the northeast got him in the bathroom....serves him right tho...the idiot was walking around the stadium in his full garb doing taterskins chants...being a brotha im sure didnt help either
everytime he up after that he would be down on the goal line in the cordoned off visiters section with about 50 yellow jackets around him
i believe it was 87 that it happened but it may have been 86
my point was that they actually think he was thrown from the upper deck and only broke two legs.
His injuries were much more severe than that, but Gibbs stopped the game, came up into the stands, and touched him. After he was healed, those snorkeling phans broke his legs again just out of spite.
my point was that they actually think he was thrown from the upper deck and only broke two legs.
yeah the story has taken on a life of its own overt eh years but the real thing wasnt exactly pleasant either...they broke dooks collarbone and arm and left him in one of the stalls where he was found not being able to get up

i would have rather had ronde barber and won the game 35-9
I would love to see a pregnant lady punched in the mouth and tossed off the back of the Linc. I don't care who she roots for.
I think it's cute how Rachael Ray showed the taterskins Romes how to throw a tailgate for $40.

I honestly am not bothered by Eagles fans giving us shtein. I'm really not. I've told some of my friends who are sellout Eagles fans (sellouts bc we live in the D.C. area) this and am on record as saying I personally don't mind the Eagles that much.
It really, really bothers me when Cowboys fans do it, it bothers me when Giants fans do it, but not Eagles fans.
Why, you ask?
Because I know, for a fact, that every single Eagles fan will die without ever seeing his or her team win the Super Bowl.
Every single one.
It just won't ever happen. Look at that bullshtein 62 yard FG Bryant made...I mean good God almighty...you think that would happen to anyone else? HAHA.
Say whatever you want about my Skins. With all the shtein you guys have endured over the years, and with the way you have all hung loyally by your (obviously to everyone else) cursed franchise, you have earned the right to talk some shtein about my team. You know, my team with the 3 Super Bowl trophies.
Will the Eagles win on Sunday? Personally, I believe that Philly wins that game. Andy Reid is great off byes and they desperately need the win before they head into that gauntlet of a schedule they have to close the season.
But will it matter in the grand scheme of things? Absolutely not. Neither one of these teams is a viable Super Bowl contender. And anyone who argues otherwise is kidding himself.
The Eagles will never win a Super Bowl.
Ever.
So say whatever you want, but just always remember that.
You will all die without ever once knowing what it feels like to see your favorite team win the biggest prize in football. I know what it's like. God, it feels so great too....
Enjoy the game on Sunday, guys.
:)
Right to the 3 superbowls argument. Well done. Pointing and laughing.
Right to it?
It was like the 5th thing I said.... the theme of my post is that every Eagles fan will die without seeing them win a Super Bowl.
But I got no beef with you General Failure. In fact, I like your screename there...it perfectly sums up the Philadelphia Eagles franchise during the Super Bowl era....a "General Failure" HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I think I finally realized why Eagles fans travel so well....it's the only way they can see Super Bowl champion banners....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I think the point is your team has sucked for the past forever, so what are those Super Bowl trophies doing for you now? The taterskins have made the playoffs....how many times in the last 15 years?
Woohoo, sure am glad those 3 Super Bowls 20 years ago are around now to keep the team playing well. :yay
Both the typical responses. You're certainly breaking the Skinsfan stereotype.
so in other words no eagle taterskin game for the rest of time means anything until the eagles have the same amount of superbowl wins as the taterskins...thats an intelligent and smart way to look at it
except that ill bet my house on the fact that if the taterskins were to beat the eagles in any of these games...that as you say in the grand scheme of things dont matter you will somehow hear ish talking from skin fans
get the farg outta here clown...your franchise has become the laughing stock of the league over the last ten years and the only way you can justify that is talking about superbowls...none of which youd even remember unless you were born before about 1986...and going by the child like arguments you made in your post im guessing youre about that old if not younger therefore for all intensive purposes as far as you have experienced the skins have won the same amount of superbowls as the eagles....and if by chance you are old enough to remember any of the skins championships then youre the clearly the real life 40 year old virgin....go back to manassas and wrap yourself in an aids infested blanket you flagget

farging taterskins fans, living in the past. There is one truth that helps me sleep at night every time I think the Eagles are going to give me a heart attack:
As long as Dan Snyder is the owner of the taterskins they will never win anything. It's as rock solid a truth as anything I've ever believed and it makes me all warm and tingly every time I read about how much money he makes off of that franchise because I know that he will never sell it. It's beautiful.

I agree. What makes it even more genuine is that igy loses money if the Eagles win this Sunday. He's rather lose money than see the Skins win and have to listen to all their dickhead fans. I applaud him for that. I'm starting to think he's not as much a skin fan as I originally thought.
Friggen' skins fans. Must be hard to take the way they suck this year after pretending and faking it last year. They are without a doubt the NFL's second biggest disappointment, after the Steelers.

Ladies and gentleman, I present Art;
QuoteSo, I'm in the stands for Dallas, enjoying myself and having a good time. Buzzed nicely, given morning tailgates are the one time in a man's life drinking before noon (hell, before 9 a.m.) is not only acceptable, but, required. I enjoy just sitting in the stands during games. Sometimes even more than being on the sidelines.
Perhaps I go to too few of the games to know whether society and gaming etiquette has changed on me, or, if this is the way it always was. A few years ago I was next to a couple of Rams fans. They cheered nicely and appropriately for their team. They were appropriately quiet and respectful otherwise. When taterskin fans started giving them the business just for wearing Rams uniforms, I was torn. Personally, I don't like opposition fans at games. But, if they show up, I do expect them to behave JUST like this couple did. And when the taterskin fans were in their face, I stopped the taterskin fan from doing this.
At this Cowboy game, I was faced with a different type of fan. A Cowboy fan who was not appropriately quiet and respectful. One who didn't cheer when his team did well, but, was loud and boosting of the Cowboys constantly. Let's Go Cowboys. Defense. Various chants of that sort. None profane. But, the way it was done, and with the constant throaty cheering, it was clear taterskin fans throughout the area were turning on him. A problem was going to develop and, frankly, this guy deserved a beating.
Trying to head this off, I grabbed the 45-pound security guard in our section and told him to keep an eye on that Cowboy fan because something was going to break out. The bottom line is, "Lets Go Cowboys," chants while the fans around are quiet for our offense to work is instigation and insulting to the home fans as it would be if I was singing Hail to the taterskins while the Cowboys had the ball in Texas Stadium.
Unfortunately, the security guard never did anything BUT sit on the steps right behind the guy, effectively allowing him to say anything he wanted while preventing anyone else from approaching him (me specifically) and telling him it was time to be respectful or leave. Fans in two sections became increasingly agitated. Taunts and profanity started going back and forth many rows away.
Yet, security sat there, doing absolutely nothing. I was disappointed. In a stadium where it is "policy" not to stand up unnecessarily -- meaning you cause fans behind you to stand up -- and where security can come to you and ask you to sit down, why is it a Cowboy fan was essentially able to push things right up to the brink before HE left on his own. He knew he had to leave. At least a dozen people were screaming at him that he was toast on the way out of the stadium. The guy behind him started yelling into his ear. It was going to blow up. And, the Cowboy fan left on his own.
My point is, I knew four minutes into the game he was a problem. I informed security. They did nothing. I'd love to see security essentially given the directive to tell opposition fans they are in a hostile environment. Cheer for their team, but, don't draw such attention to yourself you essentially are spitting in everyone's face.
That's my story. Next time, I don't tell security, so he stays down below. Then, I can put an early end to it myself .
So after some fans get on Art because he was crying about a rival fan making noise in a stadium Art comes back with this gem...and many Skins fans agree with him that opposing fans should not be allowed to speak when inside the stadium because it is bad fan etiquette...yeah, ok tough guy Art. :-D
QuoteGuys, this is simple.
What this person was doing was ABSOLUTELY provocative. There's a difference between cheering your team, and doing things YOU KNOW are drawing individual attention to yourself to bring about confrontation. In the seconds after a big play for the team you cheer, your cheering is exactly appropriate.
Individual chants of defense, or constant loud noise, at all times, in the opposition stadium is, absolutely bad fan etiquette. If you think it's part of the process to act as you would at home, on the road, then, indeed, society has changed. Your obligation as a fan of the opposition on the road is to respect the house.
You wouldn't walk into a person's house for a dinner party and put your feet up on the coffee table. You know you wouldn't. You KNOW, "Hail to the taterskins," in the quiet of an offensive drive by the Cowboys in Texas Stadium would be YOU tring to provoke the Cowboy fans around you. And you wouldn't do it.
And if you're in charge of security at a stadium, you shouldn't allow it.
Frankly, though, if I owned the team, I'm not sure I'd prevent myself from making it one hell of a hostile place for fans of the opponent to come.
QuoteNow that I'm starting to get some time again, I may write columns again for taterskins.com. Out of practice so I just threw this one together to get my legs back. Enjoy or don't
Turn it Loose
by Arthur Mills
www.extremeskins.com
Doggedly my mother works on her beautiful daughter and No. 1 son to convert both to Christianity. I'm one of them agnostics. My mom's been more successful on my sister.
I mention this only because upon returning to the condo after the Cowboys game, my sister informs me proof of God was in the Nick Novak kick bending ever so sweetly from right of the uprights, to right in the uprights, gentled in by a caring hand from above.
Similar to church, a taterskins game with an ending like that is the only other time in society when complete strangers turn to each other and greet one another in community, though, the community at a football game smells of dribbled barley and tends to sting one's palms.
So, while I still don't believe in Him, some part of my faith has been restored.
WHEW.
The season spiraling into oblivion more rapidly than fans streaming out of FedEx before the Cowboys lined up for their field goal when the caring hand of Troy Vincent put some life back into the team, the fans and the season.
While one never tires of seeing Cowboy fans bemoan the inequity of having their beloved boys flagged for obvious flagrant facemasks, as difficult as it is, we must turn away from Dallas and focus on the immense good fortune laid out before us.
The taterskins gave themselves an opportunity to salvage the season.
The taterskins need Gregg Williams to make sure that happens.
Under Joe Gibbs, the taterskins have been a defensive team. They've been defined by a scrappy, intense, hard-hitting defense. They've been smarter defensively than other teams have been offensively. They've been daring. They don't sit back. They take something away from the opposition.
The defense has carried us. The defense has to carry us.
I have a man-crush on Coach Williams. I do.
So, when he tells us, as he's said before, he can scheme against individual areas of weakness in his players, I believe him. I know that's what he's tried to do much of this season.
Now it's time to stop that. I bet Coach Williams knows that.
To protect against coverage deficiencies and avoid getting beaten deep, Williams deployed a defensive system that took away much of what we've been for two years. Removing the aggressive, cocky, "We know what you're about to do," feel to the defense to protect against the deep pass has only served to remove the identity of the entire team, while doing absolutely nothing to limit the deep pass.
For two years the taterskins lined up on defense and did things to the opposition essentially telling them they may win, but they will win doing the things WE make them do. This year, teams are beating us doing the things they want to do.
Right. Mike Nolan.
That's not who we are.
It's not who we can be.
We can't take the swagger away from ourselves.
There's hope.
I attend most taterskin games on the road and a handful at home. Before the first Dallas play, our defense was standing there, facing the Cowboys, dancing around, jumping around, pointing. I remembered that from the last two years. The defense was always ready. It was always waiting on the offense as if it knew exactly what was happening.
This year the defense has never been ready. We have guys streaming in late, we're in the huddle as the offense is walking to the ball. Seeing the guys doing that again throughout the game, I remembered the defense we used to have and can still have.
Our defense is about dictating.
Without it, we're ordinary. The opportunity in front of us now is to be who we should be...who we are.
Against Philly, we need Vincent back in single safety. Put Sean Taylor and Adam Archuleta in the box. Pull Warrick Holdman off the field, not for poor play, but to give yourself more speed and opportunities against an offense that leans pass with an athletic QB who can hurt you with the scramble.
Bring pressure. Take away the things they like to do in favor of the things you make them do. Force Donovan McNabb into quick decisions. Take chances. If they beat you anyway, at least you know they did it with you doing what you do best. But, something tells me, if we play that way, the outcome will go our way.
Turn it loose.
He can't be a real person. He just can't. I can't stand it. I'm going to kill him.
The Eagles are going to obliterate that horseshtein team.
And then hopefully Art and his minions will kill themselves in a fit of ritualistic insanity.
I am hoping McNabb catches the flu on Sunday.
Watching the taterskins getting destroyed by Jeff Garcia would be hilarious.
I hope Art's at the game Sunday and that I somehow run into him.
Touch him, and feel the coaching angel.
That makes me want to puke.
The few times I've been to Fed Ex, I was loud as anything rooting for the Eagles. It's a shame Art wasn't there to show me how to act properly. ::)

Quote3:15 p.m., Saturday -- I arrive at the Enterprise car rental facility to the inspiration of the title of this blog. What do I see? Yep. A Rocky Balboa cardboard cut out. THAT is what Philly is. A fictional champion city. Let's keep it that way
Quote7 p.m., Saturday -- Team has arrived. At the hotel bar, run into Jason from the team. He thanks me for getting him on to Huly for the clothes. I tell him if Gibbs keeps talking about the send off and return fans out there for the team, he's going to need a bigger box of stuff. Run into Sonny and ask him if we'll win by 20 or 30. He laughs and says he'll take anything at all.
Quote7:30 p.m., Saturday -- Guys head over to a nearby bar for dinner. I head up to change then join them. I'm in taterskins sweats and a taterskins top. As I'm about to change, I think, "No way. I'm taking the streets of Philly JUST like this." Tell the guys at the bar I'm looking to see how tough Philly is . Inform Bram he's the talent, so I won't let him get hurt. I actually head out to find a little pub to eat at. The Philly myth. I don't even get a single comment from anyone. Of course, I've got more time.
Quote10:15 p.m., Saturday -- By now just about everyone has left. The kids are losing interest and miss the big dog coaches. Buges heads out with a nod to us. Williams too. The best is when Gibbs comes out. He's actually beyond us when he hears us wish him luck. He turns around, walks back to us. I think he slightly recognizes I'm the guy who hangs around and is with Extremeskins. He thanks us and gives us his little testimonial about devoting life to Christ.

Someone better post some good ones in this thread soon....I thnik I'm gonna head over there myself and look at the excuses.
I wonder if Bubba The Screenshot King's head exploded when they upheld that Westbrook "fumble". I could hear him complaining already. Good that it didn't come down to that play.
I hope Art got piss bombed
Bubba's thrown in the towel...
QuoteIt is now official... I have declared..
the season is officially over
the only satisfaction the Skins can provide is playing spoiler to other NFC teams.
I hope they don't give up and finish 8-8 or better, but I think it is time to play people to see what they got for next year... to try some different things on defense
Have a competition between Betts and Duckett to see who comes back next season, work some of the backup OL in on some series to get them game experience
Find a new Kicker
but I've given up on any miracles this year, we seemed doomed from the start
If I remembered my ES Username I'd make an awesome topic.
Doom implies something having to do with fate. Fate doesn't have anything to do with it, they are just a poor football team. Piss poor, even.
Its even sweeter to be the team that officially killed the taterskins.
They can't even look forward to a good draft pick... :-D

QuoteAlthough Im not sure that wasnt a blown coverage anyway. You're telling me that defense was DESIGNED to put ST man coverage on Donte Stallworth? Noooooo way
Ummm...It was cover 2. If whatever WR on Sean Taylor's side was going deep, he was going to be one on one with Taylor...so yes....Stallworth was 1-on-1 with Sean Taylor.
I wish an Eagles fan would start a thread over there about Stallworth being no doubt the better pick up then Lloyd and Randel El. The stupidity over there about that topic pisses me off to no end.

Bubba can't help himself...
Quoteyeah okay whatever......
the eagles where losing the time of possesion by a huge margin, where 4-11 on thrid downs, McNabb was throwing for like 33% completions... and couldn't score a TD with first and goal at the one
all thgree touchdowns came on plays where nothing normal happened
no one covered Stallworth (broken Coverage)
Brown fumbled the pas... right to Buckhalter in stride
and Brunell threw a gimme TD INT, first time in the third quarter in 15 games he has thrown an int., only his 4th INT of the season
not top mention how many time the Skins got inside Philly's 35 only to self destruct, a missed FG, and losing Portis with a broken hand, yet we still had almost 150 yards rushing by the 4th
I know The Eagles planned it that way
I know the Skins lost , and I know there is no excuses that they lost... but to say that Philly did anything special to score those three TD's on 3 plays is a stretch... and trying to spin it as total domination or a butt whoppin is false
enjoy the win, the eagles earned it... but don't exaggerate the facts
Blown coverage?!?!?!?!?!?!?! HA!!
Denial. Stallworth smoked Taylor.
It's more fun this way.
Bubba is such a whiny farging sack of shtein.
Your team got schooled, cuz. Deal with it.
QuoteI know I might be the dumbest tit for routing the skins still... but I bleed burgundy and gold. Hypothetically, if we go 10-6 we can still make the playoffs, no? Why is everyone quitting on this team? If we lose against the Bucs next week, then chances are playoffs is "impossible"... but even then a 9-7 might be good enough for a wildcard spot, no? Or AM I THE ONLY ONE THIS DAMN OPTIMISTIC?? SHINE SOME LIGHT GUYS!

I heard Stallworth on WYSP while I was on the way home & he mentioned that this play was designed to specifically target Taylor and use his aggressiveness against him. He siad that once ST bit on the double move, he was gone.

Well, I thought that was clearly a catch, then a fumble before contact with him was made.
But then the Eagles would have won 24-3 instead.

The whole team chemistry changes when you bring in high priced great potential free agent players.

Need to trade the whole 06 FA signees minus Randle El in the off season and get some draft picks. It all starts upstairs. We need someone else (NOT My Cousin Vinny) who can actually spot new talent.

http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/9797576/1
PHILADELPHIA -- They are obscenely mismanaged, sloppily coached, have a stumbling, panicked and mummified Mark Brunell for a quarterback and are unbelievably unlucky.
Other than that, the Washington taterskins are just fine.
Let's be honest: It's time for Mark Brunell to hang it up.
This version of owner Daniel Snyder's latest boondoggle is just as bad as other money-pit teams he has bankrolled. Snyder's bucks do not lead to a bang, they lead to a belch.
Thus, Snyder and his bulging checking accounts will be watching the NFL playoffs from a summer home in Aruba, while the Philadelphia Eagles jumped right back into the thick of the NFC East title race after administering a stern 27-3 thumping to the Deadskins on a dreary, Philadelphia Sunday.
If things were not bad enough for 3-6 Washington, in a season the team was supposed to make the playoffs but probably won't, yet again, the 'Skins lost their excellent running back, Clinton Portis, early in the game to a broken hand. He will be out a significant amount of time.
When it rains, it hurricanes.
This was an at times ugly and sloppy contest on a rainy and windy afternoon. The Eagles were victorious because they played with more urgency than Washington, especially early on. Philadelphia jumped to a 17-0 lead, keyed by a beautiful 84-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Donovan McNabb to Dante' Stallworth. The ball traveled aloft some 50 yards in a tight spiral and landed right into the hands of the lanky wideout.
Then, after a David Akers 25-yard field goal, Brunell, whose career is so done that he should be twisting over an open fire with an apple in his mouth, tossed yet another pick, this one landing in the mitts of defensive back Sheldon Brown, who returned it 70 yards for a touchdown. It was 27-3. Game over. Washington season over.
The score does not truly indicate how well 5-4 Philadelphia played and how badly Washington did.
While Washington continued its steady trek into the abyss, electric-slide style, this game might signify the beginning of an Eagles run.
It did not look that way before Sunday. Philadelphia entered the game with three consecutive losses. The losing caused a moment of doubt inside the locker room, and both players and coaches began to soul search.
"Those three losses put us into position where we had to look at ourselves in the mirror," said linebacker Shawn Barber.
Then he added: "We were emotionally dead."
That would change. A good week of practice was followed by this fiery performance against Washington. The defense flew to the ball and was aggressive, knocking out Portis, chumping Brunell and holding the Washington offense to 132 passing yards.
Philadelphia ended its plague of dropped passes that has tortured it recently, and McNabb did not throw an interception and finished with an 88.9 passer rating.
The reason why Philadelphia came out hot was no accident. While Andy Reid has the personality of a piece of cantaloupe, he is a brilliant head coach unafraid to make examinations of himself and his coaching staff. He turned over the offensive play calling to Marty Mornhinweg, a move that control freaks like Reid hate to do.
Reid didn't stop there. According to several Eagles players, he challenged his team, particularly the leaders, to play with a sense of urgency and passion.
The team's linebackers coach, every week, provides his unit with motivational material. This time was no different. He handed out a sheet with a quote on it that had the headline: "Inspire each other."
There was an Internet story that basically called the Eagles soft. Somehow, miraculously, that found its way into the hands of some defensive players. Hey, whatever works.
Reid and his coaching staff truly earned their collective paychecks this week. Reid is now 8-0 in his Philadelphia career after byes.
The Eagles are dangerous again. They're not a perfect team, but they're dangerous. When that defense plays like this, the team can match up with almost anyone.
"All players have a lot of pride," said Brown. "We're no different. We didn't like how we looked in those three games so we worked hard to change things. We practiced harder, we studied harder and we played better."
What will be interesting to observe is how the Eagles handle their schedule. After they play Tennessee on Nov. 19, it is brutal. They have games against Indianapolis, Carolina and travel to Washington, the New York Giants and Dallas, followed by the regular-season finale against Atlanta that could determine a playoff spot.
As for the 'Skins, well, they are a disaster. More importantly, they are a cautionary tale. While Joe Gibbs, the Hall of Fame coach who has been un-Hall-like since his return to football, deserves his share of the blame, the main problem remains the attitude of the owner and the franchise overall.
In the salary cap era, spending your way to a title simply does not work in football.
The taterskins will ponder that throughout the offseason, as they again watch the playoffs on CBS.
With one of those nice fruity drinks in their hands.
Because the Deadskins' season is over.

uh....when was a condition added that the taterskins had to make the playoffs for the swap to go into effect? ???
damn, that means they keep it :boom
I read that too but wasn't sure if they were just talking out their ass.
QuoteThe Skins have to make the playoffs for there to be a chance of the 1st round picks to be swapped. If they miss the playoffs, Denver gets the Skins '07 3rd and '08 4th regardless of how high the 3rd round pick is.
I think any "journalist" using the name "Deadskins" a couple times in his article is probably a pretty decent guy to hang out with... but not a very good journalist.
I mean... it's just pointing out the obvious, isn't it? They suck. Brunell should be sold off for glue.

"Does anybody in the Washington organization watch tape? The taterskin gave safety Adam Archuleta a $10 million signing bonus as a free agent this spring, part of a $30 million-plus contract. Then they bench him, in favor of Troy Vincent of all people, because he can't cover or tackle. That was Archuleta's problem all his years with the Rams. Apparently, the taterskins' coaches and personnel people were the only ones in the league who didn't know it."
"Every Monday, Joe Gibbs assembles his assistants for a staff meeting. The subject of third-string quarterback Jason Campbell comes up. Each week, Gibbs goes around the room and has an open discussion of when to give Campbell the chance to start ahead of quarterback Mark Brunell. While it is likely Brunell will start next Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Campbell's time is coming soon. The taterskins are 3-6 and all but out of playoff contention. The coaches like Campbell's progress, but Gibbs feels compelled to stay with a veteran quarterback to placate a team that is trying hard. While it's not out of the question for Campbell to get the start, it's more reasonable to expect him to be in the lineup sometime after Thanksgiving, possibly in Week 12. By the way, don't think that Gibbs is going to step down at the end of the season. He spent part of recent weeks in meetings looking at the 2007 salary cap and its implications on the taterskins."

Then the man comes back to the sport after more than a decade and takes the team (with their supposedly horrible owner and all their other supposed deficiencies) to the second round of the playoffs in just his second year.
"Yeah but.....they have an old washed-up quarterback"
"Yeah but.....Owens ruined our season"

"Yeah but.....they overpaid for their Free Agents"
And now "Yeah but.....Joe Schmo on iamageekwhohasneverplayedfootball.com writes that they over-reached for their draft picks"
How many beatings will it take for each of you to understand? So long as Gibbs holds the reigns for the taterskins, the Eagles will always be, at most, an also-ran, the runner-up, just as they were during Gibbs' first ten years. I admit though, no amount of beatings or demoralization will bring you particular fans to this realization. So, I'm essentially wasting my time.

Shocker. That's the skins favorite pass play.

With Portis out at least a month, taterskins sign Curtis Martin, Jim Brown, Michael Jordan
After receiving the news that running back Clinton Portis will miss at least one month and possibly the entire season after breaking a bone in his hand during Sunday's lopsided loss at Philadelphia, Washington taterskins owner Daniel Snyder moved quickly. This morning, the taterskins signed Jets rusher Curtis Martin, football icon Jim Brown, and former Chicago Bulls great Michael Jordan to long-term contracts.
(http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4151/1575/400/PH2006042900225.jpg)
(l-r) Snyder, Cerrato, and taterskins
coach Joe Gibbs announce their big, big news.
Contract specifics were not immediately known, but team sources indicated the taterskins parted with up to 10 future first-round draft picks, and will make the trio the highest-paid backfield in league history. The group joins Ladell Betts, Rock Cartwright, Mike Sellers, and T.J. Duckett on the team's already deep running back core.
In a rare news conference, Snyder called the signings "a milestone for taterskins fans."
"We have one goal here," Snyder said. "Well, two goals actually. First, we want to win a Super Bowl. And secondly, we want to make money. Lots and lots of money. These three legendary players are sure to accomplish both in short order."
Brown, 70, has not played a down of competitive football since his retirement in 1966.
"Jim Brown is an absolute giant in his sport," Snyder said. "I asked [Owner lackey] Vinny [Cerrato] if Jim was available. Vinny said he was, and to me, it was a no-brainer. I told Vinny, 'let's do what it takes to go out and get him in a taterskins uniform.'"
When asked if the decision to sign Martin, who will miss the season and could retire due to chronic knee injuries, was somewhat short-sighted, Snyder grew testy.
"Let me turn the tables for just a moment, and ask you a question," Snyder said. "How much money do you make?"
When the reporter responded that he did not see how that was relevant, Snyder persisted.
"Seriously. How much? I know you people don't make that much. I'll be generous and say $50,000 a year. Well, the taterskins -- which I own -- are worth more than $1 billion. That is my worth. See this fingernail? I'm going to bite it off. One second. Okay, see it on the floor now? That's a $50,000 fingernail, easy. So basically, that's you. I literally just chewed you up and spit you out. So maybe we should think twice before we decide to wear the Daddy Pants, okay?
"Sure, all my pants are in boys sizes, but they're big metaphorically, dick."
It is unclear how Jordan, a former basketball player, fits into the taterskins' plans.

taterskins owner Daniel Snyder knows Michael Jordan from the TV.
"He's one of the best to ever play the game," Snyder said with an incredulous chortle. "I'm sure we'll find a way to work him in. Look, I don't know what kind of rock you all have been living under, but hello? Michael Jordan? Ever heard of him? Is he or is he not a famous athlete that everyone has seen on TV a million times?"
"Yes," muttered some of the reporters.
"I can't hear you!" said Snyder.
"Yes!"
"Thank you. Next question please. Jesus, you guys are nuts!"
The loss of Portis could affect the team's usual season plan, in which they go on a too-little, too-late winning streak after being virtually eliminated from the playoffs so that they can continue to string fans along and charge league-high prices.
"We're going to turn this team around," Snyder said. "Because if we don't, how do we justify $8,000 season tickets, $12 hot dogs, and $19 beers? Answer: we can't. I think the signings we've made today mark a new era in taterskins football. I wanted to put my stamp on this franchise, and think I have accomplished that."

QuotePhiladelphia jumped to a 17-0 lead, keyed by a beautiful 84-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Donovan McNabb to Dante' Stallworth. The ball traveled aloft some 50 yards in a tight spiral and landed right into the hands of the lanky wideout.
Thats what I'm talking about!
QuoteThen, after a David Akers 25-yard field goal,Brunell, whose career is so done that he should be twisting over an open fire with an apple in his mouth, tossed yet another pick, this one landing in the mitts of defensive back Sheldon Brown, who returned it 70 yards for a touchdown. It was 27-3. Game over. Washington season over.

Beautiful. Now they can waste another 3-4 years with Campbell as he proves he can't play in this league.
He's been the inactive 3rd QB for all 25 games of his NFL career.
So, he's never even taken the field during a game in uniform... not to hold for an extra point, not to hand the ball off or take a knee at the end of a game... etc.
Brilliant job by angel saint god coach Gibbs getting this guy ready to play.

Jason Campbell, Second Coming of Doug Williams (http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=180508)
QuoteFor No. 17, A Coincidence
November 13, 2006
Jason Campbell wears No. 17 in tribute to taterskins great Doug Williams. Maybe someday taterskins fans will be able to speak of Campbell's career in the same glowing terms reserved for Williams.
That career will be launched next Sunday in Raymond James Stadium when the taterskins take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a battle of struggling NFC teams that met in the NFL playoffs last January.
The Week 11 start to Jason Campbell's NFL career seems to make sense for a lot of reasons, most notably that the taterskins really need a spark at the quarterback position.
It's not that the classy Mark Brunell is the sole reason for the taterskins' problems, or even the major reason. There are plenty of problems with the football team that have nothing to do with Mark Brunell.
The larger issue is that the taterskins need to find out if Campbell can compete at the NFL level. The announcement by head coach Joe Gibbs gives the young man out of Auburn a fair shot at the final seven games of 2006.
What a coincidence that the first start for Campbell will be in Tampa Bay, where Williams, the man he so admires, works now in the Bucs' organization. Williams is in his third season as a personnel executive.
Williams also made his first NFL start in Tampa Bay as the Bucs quarterback in 1978. He joined the taterskins in 1986 and led the franchise to a championship in Super Bowl XXII in 1987.
In Campbell's first NFL season, the taterskins were content to have 2005 first-round draft pick Campbell sit back and soak it all in.
In fact, the Auburn quarterback selected 25th overall in the draft, didn't get on the field during the regular season. Still, Gibbs was pleased with his development.
"My impression of Jason is that he's very accurate," Gibbs said. "He has a sense of what the pocket is and he's going to be hard to sack because he's so big."
As college fans are well aware, Campbell led Auburn to an undefeated 13-0 season in 2004. He was named MVP of the SEC Championship game and the Sugar Bowl.
Now Campbell must prepare for a Bucs' defense that has traditionally been a nasty one. It features a trio of Pro Bowlers in linebacker Derrick Brooks, cornerback Ronde Barber and defensive end Simeon Rice.
"Tampa Bay is a good team," Campbell said on Monday. "They are a whole lot better than their record. In the NFL, it's a game of inches and small things separate the great teams. They are a great team and I think it's going to be a challenge on the road, but my teammates around me work hard and I know I'll have their support."
Certainly Campbell will be thinking about Williams in the days leading up the game at Raymond James Stadium. Campbell honored Williams by wearing his No. 17. On Sunday, he'll be trying to beat the team for which Williams now works.
It's one No. 17 starting his NFL career with the No. 17 quarterback he so admired as a youngster no doubt looking on.
QuoteThank you, Mark Brunell for the good memories... Jason Campbell, it's your turn! Step up into the pocket and throw it deep...touchdown, Washington taterskins! :-D :-D :-D :puke
QuoteIf he's the second coming of Doug Williams, he has some huge shoes to fill.
I can't wait to see his statline for Sunday which will undboutedly look something like this: 9-23 86 yards 2 INTs

taterskin Fans @ Eagles at the Linc.
Way too long to quote in here but definitely worth a few good laughs and a read. He insinuates that our entire fanbase is full of whites. And that there were no minorities in the crowd anywhere! Then claims are fight song is modeled after something the 1939 Nazi Party would do. This coming from a guy who's team name is still living in the 19th century. :-D
QuoteI've been to over a hundred taterskins games, but I had never been so ashamed to be a taterskins fan, as during that walk back from the stadium seat to my truck in the lot in the rain. Just my daughter and I, alone, walking among a sea of green. It was truly humiliating.
I also felt betrayed. And abandoned.
If that wasn't bad enough, the taunts still rained down, loud and vulgar and in our faces. You'd think 3 + touchdowns would be enough. There is no such thing as sportsmanship in that town.
(http://www.abestweb.com/smilies/baby.gif)
im 100% positive that was the guy parked in our row with the tent
funny that we always bring eggs to the skins game but somehow forgot on sunday...glad to see someone else took up the cause
Bringing a small child dressed in taterskins gear to the Linc = brilliant. :yay
Actually, bringing small children to an Eagles game is stupid anyway let alone bringing them in opposing colors.
Further proof that taterskins fans should be sterilized en masse and without delay.
QuoteA cop drove by during the tailgate, and asked if we were okay. "No", I said, "Somebody's throwing eggs at us." We didn't know who exactly, they were sort of falling out of the sky like mortars. The cop just laughed. "Don't worry about that", he said. "When you see guns and bricks, call me."
:-D :-D
QuoteThings started to go downhill fast. Guys were coaxing us into fights by pushing buttons. Most of us let it role off our shoulders, some of us didn't. No fights actually started, but the whole in-your-face angry yelling with fists clenched thing went on for a long while. Twice I took off my jersey in preparation of defending (i.e. breaking up the fight) one of my taterskins brothers. Thankfully, it never got to that point.
OH NO! Not the "let me take off my jersey because I'm fixin to fight" move!! Idiot.
^ Love seeing that.
"Here, hold my purse!"
Bitches. :-D
QuoteItems were stolen. We're all standing around cooking and talking and minding our own business. This Eagles fan walked up and tried to steal one of my car flags. I think it was Donita who stopped him, so he reached in my truck and grabbed a taterskins folding chair case thing. He picked it up, smiled. Started walking away, then jogging, then running through a sea of Eagles tailgaters and was gone. I never saw it again. That was uncalled for and it pissed me off.
If you leave your camp for whatever reason, you become vulnerable. What they do when they see you, an opposing fan in their "turf", they size you up and look for something they can use to insult you. In one taterskins fan's case, they saw he had a young daughter, I think she's nine years old. Therefore they insulted her using the loudest and foulest language possible. They also saw Mac's hat, saw he was a military vet, and therefore insulted the military and America, for no other reason but because they knew it would push his buttons.
I can see it now..."Eagle fans hate America! They hate soldiers too! What a bunch of miscreants!"
QuoteRegarding the Linc's rules in the stadium as far as no vulgar language will be tolerated, that's an outright lie. There was no enforcement of that what-so-ever. That rule is a joke. You can take that rule and throw it right out the window.
Right. No other NFL fans use foul language. Especially not in FedEx. It's like heaven there, I bet.
Why would you take your jersey off? Blood stains would make a jersey better.

QuoteA thousand deep-voiced men -- it sounds like a military marching song being played on the speakers. No musicial instruments, just a battalion of men singing. At one point, one of the videos was a black and white video showing German WWII-type gothic fonts with the words to the song, and the video had speckled spots in it like they were trying to make it look like an old news reel. It was like they were trying to mimic the 1939 Nazi party. It was obvious to me that this is what they were trying to do. And there is no doubt in my mind this is EXACTLY their intention. I wonder if Snyder noticed this and what his thoughts were?
Wait a minute. This is gold. Is this guy really trying to say that the FONT USED FOR THE FIGHT SONG was selected because Snyder is Jewish? Can someone point out this "German WWII-type gothic font"? Speckled spots?!?!?!?!?!? WHAT IS THIS BITCH TALKING ABOUT? :-D :-D
Someone tell this icehole that Lurie and Banner are Jewish. Please. Make him feel like a fool.
Where was the DTC when the skins fans really needed them to defend them?!?
they should remind this douche that Lurie got Angelo suspended for calling them Nazi's
These stories are old news. I'm bored with their whining about philly fans and referees and blah blah blah. I want to hear more about how much talent they have and how changing QBs will solve all of their problems. That's the kind of wishful thinking and optimism that I really like to shoot down.

As he runs behind one of his boys......"DON'T HOLD ME BACK! YOU'RE LUCKY THEY'RE HOLDING ME BACK!!"
as for the foul language policy at the Linc, I actually did get in trouble by a security guard for giving RJS the finger.
ha...you were on that dude's radar from then on
yup, he seriously stared at me for the last hour of the game, just waiting for my middle finger to go back up.

QuoteOnce inside, Kristi and I got our seats and watched the game. A few people had comments when we stood up, cheered our team, etc, but I took it all with a grain of salt. Then came the idiot about 8 rows behind us. Obviously he couldn't get to me, so he started on Kristi. I even made mention to the security RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME to keep an eye out, because it was getting out of hand. Did he do anything? Nope! He just let it go. So what happened? That fan disrespected my daughter, and it was on. But guess what...I was the culprit, so they took me into custody and handcuffed me in front of my 9 year old. Talk about a biased police force! Well, it all worked out, we were moved, that fan was ejected, but not before my daughter was traumatized.

His response to that poster:
QuoteThanks for your comment. Yeah, that's pretty heavy stuff. But there's no doubt the Eagles are imitating them... If not the nazis, then at least the WWII Germans. There's no question about it. I lived in Germany three years, so I recognized the font right away. If you saw the video, the font, the newsreel-like footage, and heard the singing, you'd agree. The only thing they were missing was a swastika. Thanks again.
This guy is nuts. Too bad he didn't get the shtein kicked out of him.
From Wikipedia...
QuoteThe fight song was reputedly the creation of former owner Jerry Wolman's daughter, who, impressed by the "war chant" of the rival Washington taterskins, implored her father to play an Eagles equivalent during their games. With the later sale of the team and move to Veterans Stadium, the fight song was largely forgotten, although a few die-hards could be heard singing the lyrics on special occasions. That it was ultimately brought back to such popular acclaim is testament to the vision of Jeffrey Lurie, whose regime reinstated the practice of playing the song over stadium loudspeakers (with a modern addition of projecting the lyrics on the scoreboard) after Eagle touchdowns. The song is now ubiquitous wherever Eagles fans are found. The song has been heard at Phillies, Flyers, and Sixers games, and even at the Philadelphia Live 8 concert prior to the show. The song is sometimes sung with a slight modification, especially on local radio, in which the lyrics "watch our Eagles fly!" are replaced with "watch those [upcoming opposing team's name] cry!" (e.g. "watch those Cowboys cry!").
Interestingly, the Lurie revival was accompanied by a slight adjustment of the lyrics. Originally, the second line of the song was:
"Fight, Green and White, score a touchdown , one-two-three!"
With Lurie's modernization of team uniforms, however, and the new emphasis on Black and Silver, the mention of the traditional colors was omitted. Few noticed.
Oops. :-D
i think it's funny that fans of a team with a racial slur as their nickname get bent out of shape about a fight song they think is about nazis

QuoteThere's no real way to repay them. That's because, like it or not, Eagles fans are 100x more hardcore than taterskins fans. That's the way it is, and nothing will ever change that. I don't know if it has to do with economics or race or their recent SB appearance or what. The Eagles fans will run over FedExField on Dec 10th and they will seemingly dominate the stadium. No Eagles fan will wear his jersey underneath a neutral colored jacket. If they win, they will sing loudly on the ramps and laugh in our faces and nothing will quiet them.

Confronting them and challenging them would be like a grown man confronting an elementary school bully. They're a joke.
What in the world are you talking about?? Burke, VA? 2 Live Crew?
What decade is this again?
I'd still be pointing and laughing at the taterskins even if the Eagles went 0-16 because taterskins fans are the biggest collection of iceholes around.
We point and laugh because your franchise is run like a chinese fire drill and its fans keep expecting a different result each year despite making the same mistakes over and over.
You're delusional, ignorant, brainwashed, and arrogant all at once. That's why you and your pathetic laughingstock of a team have been granted its own thread to be ridiculed on this site. Actually, it's quite an honor, and it's also likely it's the only honor your team will have bestowed on it for about the next decade.

A couple years ago Eagles fans had every reason to "point and laugh" at the taterskins after a win and gloat all they wanted to but ummm you guys realize that you are only 5-4 and have probably the hardest remaining schedule in the NFL right?
I hate to break it to you, but when the playoffs start the Eagles and taterskins are going to be doing the exact same thing....
We now control our own fate and regardless of if we make the playoffs or not (the way the NFC is right now 8-8 or 9-7 might get you in) at least we have something to look forward to week in and week out. You on the other hand have nothing to look forward to other than Jason Campbell.
Repeat.
What Jerome said.
The taterskins franchise is extremely poorly run. It's honestly mind-boggling. Trading a 3rd rounder for T.J. Duckett? Trading 2 2nd round picks for Rocky Mcintosh? Actually paying Adam Archuletta money to play football?
But what are we supposed to do? I was born in northern Virginia. I've been a taterskins fan since I was a little kid. What exactly am I supposed to do? I have to keep rooting for them. I have to keep going to the games and supporting MY team and defending MY team.
When they get on a good run like last season at the end of the year and the playoff win in Tampa Bay, it's really fun and easy to root for them. And when they play like shtein like they have this year it sucks and it's hard to stand by them but what other choice does a true fan have.
I absolutely refuse to believe you actually think taterskins fans are bigger iceholes or worse people than Cowboys fans. You can tell me that 1,000 times and I still won't believe you. They are the lowest of the low.
Just remember that the taterskins are constantly laughing at the Eagles too. It's so funny to us how you guys come down to D.C. every year with your chests all puffed out like you are the greatest franchise on earth. Even if you all somehow do make the playoffs this year (which you won't, schedule is too hard) you'd still just blow your load in the playoffs for the millionth time in a row. You actually think taterskins fans are more arrogant than Eagles fans?? Haha man you all need to get a farging clue, seriously. There isn't a more delusional group of people in sports than Eagles fans. The only fan base in the league that acts like they support this great, storied franchise when they have never even won the Super Bowl haha.
And they never will.

Ah - the old "How Many Super Bowls Have You Won" chestnut.
Whenever you point out the current state of affairs of the taterskins, they bring up past glories. You know which fans also do that? Yep - you guessed it, retard... COWBOYS FANS.
Were you even alive the last time the taterskins won a Super Bowl? Judging from your atrocious grammar and inability to present a cogent argument here, I'm guessing no.

You have it mixed up, Cowboys fans are redneck frontrunners. Your fans are homeristic retards who have no actual sense of reality. This thread is started every year and every year your fan base lives up to that expectation. Have a great offseason overpaying for unecessary free agents and coaches. I'm sure you'll come up with some gems in the draft considering all the picks your team has.

Then please enlighten us to who in the NFC is going to make the playoffs. Do you really think the Giants are going to keep pace with all of their injuries? Atlanta, Carolina, and Dallas are all very beatable.

You arrogant fops parade around the internet like drag queens at the Gay Day parade every off-season, only to envelope yourselves in a coccoon of excuses/past Super Bowl gibberish when your team sucks the pipe when the season begins.
I imagine we'll be seeing you more during the offseason, when Dan Snyder sprinkles his fairy dust in your eyes & you guys think the team turned around. You'll be painfully wrong.

Remember when the taterskins lost in week 1, and their fans said sad Saunders was saving the real playbook for the Cowboys... I guess now Al is saving it for the second half of the season?

Why wouldn't I think we have a chance to get into the playoffs? Enlighten me to who will make the playoffs then. And prior to the beatdown your pathetic team took Sunday your entire fanbase was convinced they were turning the season around and making the playoffs after a fluke win vs. the Cowboys.
The taterskin fans at the Linc thread has grown substantially. Someone suggested he get his tin foil hat tightened! :-D He seemed to dodge the question "Are you referring to the Eagle game clips from the 40s and 50s?" But oddly enough the best quote came from a Cowboys fan. Go figure:

They might be mediocre but every team in the NFC is as well, including the Bears. Grossman is an accident waiting to happen. We have as good a shot at beating any team in the NFC as anyone does.
I doubt it matters. The team who wins the Super Bowl will probably have an "A" in front of their conference.

Then you agree with 99% of us, since we also feel that the Eagles have shown us nothing that would make us think they are anything more than mediocre. They've shown spurts of great performance, only to be followed by spurts of death-rattling, boneheadedness.
That being said, even if they perform at a slightly higher than mediocre level, their playoff chances still aren't too bad.

Hey, if the Eagles don't make the playoffs, we'll just have to settle for beating the hell out of your POS team twice this year.
I guess you can go back and beat your meat to pictures of the Skins winning Super Bowls before you were even born... trying to forget how your current team can't even spell Super Bowl... let alone play in one.
Until March of course, when you'll go right back to slobbing the knobs of ol' Danny boy and the Coaches of the Round Table as they fill you morons up with false hope buying up all the old, overrated or downright zesty FA's on the market.

-The fans have hope for the future due to a playoff win in which the offense set futility records.
-The star young safety is a complete thug and is facing 40+ years in prison.
-They've thrown millions at assistant coaches, proving the Gibbs/figurehead theory.
-The comedy if they would sign Terrell Owens would be too much to take.
-They will fight for the Cowboys for last place in the division in the 2006 season, whether they like it or not.
-Art is practicing his fellatio techniques and is hoping to make 2006 more productive for sucking off Dan Snyder, Joe Gibbs, Al Saunders, Gregg Williams, Jerry Gray, Jason Campbell, Clinton Portis, Marcus Washington, and Sean Taylor... sucky sucky sucky. Barf.
-They sure were cocky before the season started because of that. The offense is still futile, but now the defense is getting in on the act also.
-Well, he's not facing legal troubles, but he's proving to be a liability in the passing game, a less-than-sure tackler, and a bullseye for refs to call 15-yarders (and often rightfully so).
-Is Gibbs even a figurehead anymore? Furthermore, his coaches also don't seem to be doing anything. It could be argued that the money spent on coaches is more wasted than that on free agents. Well, not really.
-T.O. stayed in the division for comedic purposes, but the skins signed plenty of other laughers like Adam Archuleta and Brandon Lloyd to big deals. Trading a high pick for T.J. Duckett was a super idea also.
-Yes, they will fight the Cowboys for last place. Even with the Giants' injury report being brutal.
-Naturally, this is still as true as ever.
farg the skins and all their fans.

Why? Because the taterskins suck ass. Their quarterbacks are awful, their best player on offense is gone, their defense is a laughingstock, (especially their putrid secondary) their head coach is lost somewhere in the 1980's and their owner is a complete fargtard who continually attempts to buy a winner using other teams overrated and ridiculously overpaid cast-offs rather than building one of his own.

Eagles Envy (http://cbs.sportsline.com/spin/story/9802616)
QuoteKay's Korner: This 'Skins fan is getting Eagles envy
Nov. 14, 2006
By Eric Kay
SPiN Columnist
I've been struck with a case of bird envy, and it's not Toucan Sam-related like last time. I want to say I'll get through this, but I just don't know.
You see, the Philadelphia Eagles are everything my Washington taterskins aren't. The Eagles rarely overpay their players, they rely heavily on the draft, they don't cave in to outlandish demands by egotistical players and they sign 24-year-olds, not 34-year-olds, to long-term deals.
Throw in the fact they've had the same managerial structure for the past half-dozen or so years and one of the game's longest-tenured coaches, and it has me wondering: What's not to like about the green and white? (Cough, their fans).
Now, the taterskins, meanwhile, do just about everything wrong. They don't draft (New York in April is sooo touristy), they overpay just about everyone and have only one consistency in the managerial structure: inconsistency.
That's why I have Eagles envy. And something of late has that deadly sin kicking into high gear. It's the Eagles' propensity to dish out long-term deals to young, rising stars.
In case you missed it, last week Philadelphia locked up wide receiver Reggie Brown to a five-year deal. I won't bore you with the details, but it's a reasonable number of greenbacks that will keep the 25-year-old in green through 2014. That's so un-taterskins, it's fantastic. Washington's sort-of-GM Vinny Cerrato wouldn't even know how to draft such a contract. He'd mistakenly slip in two no-trade clauses, several FedEx Field handicap parking stickers and Joe Gibbs' youngest son.
But Brown's deal is just the tip of the iceberg. Earlier this year defensive tackle Mike Patterson received a seven-year extension and defensive end Trent Cole inked a five-year contract. Two more reasonable deals for a pair of solid down linemen. To quote Monty Burns, "That's capital!"
But wait, there's more. Earlier, earlier this year, punter Dirk Johnson signed a six-year contract extension.
But wait, there's even more. Earlier, earlier, earlier this year, guard Shawn Andrews signed a contract extension through 2015 and center Jamaal Jackson got locked up through 2013.
Add running back Brian Westbrook's five-year deal in '05 and cornerbacks Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown, who signed five- and six-year deals in '04 and, it's safe to say there's a bit of a trend here.
The Eagles' recipe is simple: Draft a lot of players -- 29 over the past three years -- and odds are, a few pan out. Notice the ones quickly reaching their potential and justly reward them. It's such an organic philosophy I'm surprised Whole Foods isn't catering the team's lunches gratis.
But why would these players do it? If they just wait a couple more years, odds are teams like the taterskins will offer them riches beyond anything the Genie in Aladdin could. Patterson's agent, Josh Luchs, sums it up nicely:
"This is about what's best for Mike Patterson," Luchs told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "Mike understands that he'll be making a little bit less than if he'd played his (original) deal out, stayed healthy and become a free agent. But to remove the injury risk is a big thing."
But it's not just about injuries, it's about players seeing a good thing and wanting to stay with it:
"I'm not good at predicting the future, but (based) on the things (the Eagles) have done in the past I feel comfortable in how they are going to do things in the future," Patterson told the Inquirer.
So few times in sports do contracts actually benefit the player and the team. But the Eagles are starting to figure it out. The team keeps a young, rising player at a reasonable rate (signing bonuses spread over long contracts are team-friendly) and because of the bonus, the player is assured of spending his 20s as a millionaire, regardless of whether he tears an ACL. How can anybody associated with sports not like this set-up?
Sure, it's not all peaches and cream and there's certainly room for criticism. Donovan McNabb's astronomical 12-year, $115 million deal may never see its completion, but geez, those are some big numbers for a quarterback who can't keep his lunch down in the biggest game of his life.
And contracts are a tricky subject. There's no question players perform just a bit differently in contract years than they do after they've signed the big one -- so locking up so many players to so many long-term deals is risky.
Let's say the Eagles win Super Bowl XLI this season. With nearly 20 percent of the team locked into these long deals, Eagles brass would be playing with fire. Without the incentive to play for a big, fat contract and with the Super Bowl drive extinguished, there's likely going to be a little complacency in the clubhouse.
Of course, that's a problem any Eagles fan would love to have. But still, some would say it's a bit alarming; signing so many players with so little track record to so many long-term deals.
But really, how much more does a coach and GM need to see to make a proper evaluation? They've got tape on these kids going back to their high school days, medical charts that could fill the Library of Congress and after the Terrell Owens fiasco, they're not going to commit to players with questionable character.
So, there are reasons to give a John Belushi eyebrow raise to the Eagles' unorthodox managerial approach, but I have a feeling it's going to work.
They picked their spots wisely. A couple of young cornerbacks here, a couple of linemen there and one or two skill players thrown in for flavor. What they're doing is putting together a core group of players who drink the Philly juice and, in doing so, make sure the franchise has a foundation in place. And with that settled, they can start adding some intriguing pieces here and there to provide differing dynamics.
On the other hand, my taterskins have only a handful of homegrown, young, core players -- Sean Taylor, Chris Cooley, maybe Jason Campbell -- and because of it, are constantly forced to sign the big-name flavor of the offseason. It's not just frustrating to follow a team without a foundation, it makes purchasing a jersey a real pain in the gluteus maximus. I'm still stuck wearing my LB No. 57 jersey. It's not cheap having to replace those things. :-D
So, with every logical long-term deal a young Eagle signs, it makes me wonder how it's my team, and not the one named after a bird, making its home in the cuckoo's nest.
Oh, it's not just wondering, there's lots of rage involved, too. Lots of rage.
Pointing... and motherfarging Laughing.
QuoteEagles fan have always had atroicious behavior. My cousin's one of the few well behaved Eagles fan's and he told me a story about how a guy who wore a San Francisco jersey got his leg broken by a bunch of Eagles fans.
From Booing Santa Claus to throwing beer at Clinton Portis's mom, they Philly fans are trash. They show no restraint towards any fan with opposing colors. It takes big men to insult 9 year old girls doesn't it? That's probably one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. Eagles fans are garbage, and I along with everyone else on this forum hope they never win a Super bowl.
The big bad Eagles fans did it again! It was Tommy with a crowbar in the Linc parking lot that broke the San Fran fan's leg. God save us from them.
I'm disappointed in RJS. He didn't light one single taterskin fan on fire. He's all talk.
If I lit taterskins fans on fire I'd have nothing to keep me entertained during this season of mediocrity. Think man, think!
What the hell is this? The Official "Catching Teams At the Right/Wrong Time Meter" :-D :-D
http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=174839
QuoteI give each opponent a number 1-10 on the "time meter." A 10 means we are catching them at a PERFECT time. A 1 means we couldn't be playing them at a worse time. So, just remember, the higher the number, the better. A 5 equals a complete wash.
QuoteWeek Six: Titans = 6. Not a "great" time to catch them because I think their confidence is probably a bit up after a good effort last week, but i do believe it's an above average time to play them. Teams like Tennessee generally can "gear it up" every few weeks. They almost won in Miami, got destroyed by Dallas, and then almost won in Indy. But the losses keep mounting up. They'll win eventually, but it's not likely to be this week.
:-D :-D
I guess the Titans "geared it up" around Week 6, eh douchebag?
QuoteWeek Seven: Colts = 7. I'm telling you right now, we can win this game. Indy has some major problems. Manning has been able to mask those problems, but eventually, it's going to bite them. This is where their bye week actually helps US, IMO. They are 5-0, 3-0 in their division, and cruising along. They may say all the right things, but I have no doubt that they will take the taterskins fairly lightly in a game that in all honesty simply isn't that important to them in grand scheme of things. The Colts WILL lose 3-4 games this year and at least 2 of those will be upsets. I think the circumstances surrounding this game have all the earmarks of a potential upset. The only reason this isn't a higher number is because the 14-13 win over the Titans did give them something to focus on during the bye.
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
So I guess they're just catching all these teams at a really bad time. Never about getting your ass whooped. It's just all bad luck in Washington.
^ Bad luck and the officiating. Clearly.
Actually, that makes their season even more laughable. Because according to them, they've been catching teams at the right time, when they aren't playing their best football........and still getting their asses handed to them.
That may be the most useful information ever posted on that board. I heart it.
So I rode the metro this morning with a cripple wearing a taterskins hat, and for some reason I felt like he deserved it.
I hate you and your effective public transportation system. SEPTA blows. Some stations don't sell tokens. Some stations only have token machines, and it's a toss up to whether they work or not. Some stations have token machines without a change slot, so if you don't have 3 $1 bills, you get to buy $5 or $10 worth of tokens. Also, it smells like ass, looks like ass, and is ugly as an ass. And why the hell does the express stop at Girard and not Cecil B. Moore? Who the farg lives at Girard? Nobody but some crackheads. So many TU students commute, and not to mention all the people that work down there. Usless asswipes SEPTA. Go farg yourselfs.
Meanwhile, back to the Skins. This was funny:
QuoteMark I think that your question is fair. Also, I would like to add that people that carry that attitude, "they are scum up there, that is why I will never go there again," is actually giving them a small victory. That is why for every game there is a sea of green, which is commendable, but not going because you are scared is not cool in my opinion. I don't know about the rest of you but I am no coward. I went last year, this year and I plan to be there next year. Those bastiches win if we stay home. I know that is a small gesture to solve a big problem but it is a start.
I am taking Mark and Mac up on their suggestion of writing a letter to the stadium or team office. It is just ridiculous to me. I have friends that have been in Iraq for a year and we are at home still calling each other racial slurs, mistreating Vets and insulting children. That is insane to me

QuoteHow the hell are the taterskins an underdog in this one? What do these guys know that we don't? I can't understand why a team that has an offense that resembles the Raiders can be 3 points under. It blows my mind.
Should I bet on the taterskins? I mean, I will anyways bet on the taterskins but I just want some advice.
Clash of the Titans!! How does a 2-7 team have a -3 spread over a 3-6 team at home? This is just mind boggling!
It especially doesn't make sense because it's often that a guy who has been the inactive 3rd QB for all 25 games of his career goes up against an adequate defense in his first NFL game and really lights the world on fire, behind a suspect offensive line and without his top running back.
I plan to bet as much money as I can find on the skins.

Eagles Envy (http://cbs.sportsline.com/spin/story/9802616)
QuoteKay's Korner: This 'Skins fan is getting Eagles envy
Nov. 14, 2006
By Eric Kay
SPiN Columnist
I've been struck with a case of bird envy, and it's not Toucan Sam-related like last time. I want to say I'll get through this, but I just don't know.
You see, the Philadelphia Eagles are everything my Washington taterskins aren't. The Eagles rarely overpay their players, they rely heavily on the draft, they don't cave in to outlandish demands by egotistical players and they sign 24-year-olds, not 34-year-olds, to long-term deals.
Throw in the fact they've had the same managerial structure for the past half-dozen or so years and one of the game's longest-tenured coaches, and it has me wondering: What's not to like about the green and white? (Cough, their fans).
Now, the taterskins, meanwhile, do just about everything wrong. They don't draft (New York in April is sooo touristy), they overpay just about everyone and have only one consistency in the managerial structure: inconsistency.
That's why I have Eagles envy. And something of late has that deadly sin kicking into high gear. It's the Eagles' propensity to dish out long-term deals to young, rising stars.
In case you missed it, last week Philadelphia locked up wide receiver Reggie Brown to a five-year deal. I won't bore you with the details, but it's a reasonable number of greenbacks that will keep the 25-year-old in green through 2014. That's so un-taterskins, it's fantastic. Washington's sort-of-GM Vinny Cerrato wouldn't even know how to draft such a contract. He'd mistakenly slip in two no-trade clauses, several FedEx Field handicap parking stickers and Joe Gibbs' youngest son.
But Brown's deal is just the tip of the iceberg. Earlier this year defensive tackle Mike Patterson received a seven-year extension and defensive end Trent Cole inked a five-year contract. Two more reasonable deals for a pair of solid down linemen. To quote Monty Burns, "That's capital!"
But wait, there's more. Earlier, earlier this year, punter Dirk Johnson signed a six-year contract extension.
But wait, there's even more. Earlier, earlier, earlier this year, guard Shawn Andrews signed a contract extension through 2015 and center Jamaal Jackson got locked up through 2013.
Add running back Brian Westbrook's five-year deal in '05 and cornerbacks Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown, who signed five- and six-year deals in '04 and, it's safe to say there's a bit of a trend here.

ExtremeSkins Fan View: A New Beginning...
November 16, 2006
By Arthur Mills
If it's true the one permanent emotion of the inferior man is fear of the unknown, it is equally true the one permanent emotion of the ExtremeSkins fanatic--as it relates to the unknown--is joy.
Mark Brunell is a consummate professional. He's a gentleman. He's a team player. He plays hurt. He plays in control. He does as he's asked. Statistically, he's having a pretty fine year. He limits mistakes.
He deserves better from us, as fans, than he gets. He deserves better, as a person and leader who helped guide the team to the playoffs a season ago, then fans standing in line to toss dirt in his professional playing grave.
Though he deserves it, he's just not going to get it.
Here's why.
1-10-WAS33 --
M.Brunell pass SHORT right to T.Duckett to WAS 30 for -3 yards
2-13-WAS30 --
M.Brunell pass SHORT left to L.Betts to WAS 21 for -9 yards
3-22-WAS21 --
M.Brunell pass SHORT left to L.Betts to WAS 30 for 9 yards
Down 27-3, these were Brunell's final three passes of the game.
I know I hate that.
I know I don't understand it. I don't know whether those plays, and more like it, are the first option by play call, or whether Brunell simply goes to them quickly in more cases than we'd like, but there's a time when it's okay to stop managing the offense and it becomes acceptable to take chances.
One time like that is when the score is 27-3 against you. Three intermediate-to long-passes falling incomplete in the same situation and you'd almost have felt like we weren't packing it in.
The more stoic, heady, robotic, super-smart veteran play we got out of Brunell, the more fans pined for the rookie mistake.
With Jason Campbell in the game, we will immediately see bad throws, questionable decisions and mistakes that cost us games. None of that will really matter because no one much cares what Campbell brings now. Everyone wants to know what tomorrow brings. Campbell is the hope for consistent success if he's capable.
He's the signal for rebuilding and Brady Quinn if he's not.
Should I run into Mark Brunell this weekend in Tampa, I'll thank him for what he's done for us. But for the first time this year, I enter game week without a sinking feeling in my stomach. It's not fair to Brunell, but, there it is anyway.
No one knows what Campbell will do.
We just know it'll be different. For a lackluster team, searching for anything to bring energy and hope, that's all that matters.
No one in the organization will blame Brunell for where the team is today. It's not his fault. It won't be his fault even if Jason Campbell comes in and the team takes off. Brunell is the kind of guy playing blackjack with two face cards who stands pat instead of splitting.
Most fans want a little swagger and arrogance and gambler in their QB. Campbell doesn't even have to be that. He just has to be different. You'll never see fans more pleased than if Campbell completes 45 percent of his passes, but, half of them travel more than 10 yards in the air.
If he comes in and we're still engineering 14-play, 70-yard drives that consume 4:23 of the final 4:36 in a game we're down 36-14 (as happened in Indianapolis), no one will reflect on it and think it wasn't Brunell's fault.
We'll just shift blame to someone else.
In announcing the change at the position, Joe Gibbs was asked if Campbell was his guy from here forward. He said he's not one to guess at the future and if Mark gets some rest you never know what might happen. This means Campbell has the chance fans wanted, but there's not an unlimited timer on that chance.
Campbell will have exceptionally wide latitude not granted Brunell, at least by the fans.
In the end, Campbell only has to remember one thing to be immediately adored by Washington fans, regardless of outcome or even effectiveness.
When in doubt, please, air it out.
lets get this thing past the 200 page mark.

Either way, a 3rd round pick for Duckett is hilarious. He's also a FA after this season.
it happens this year or it doesnt happen
but dont forget the broncos also get the skins 4th rounder in 08
That is the Genius that is Gibbs!! He is throwing this season away for the good of the franchise so they can keep that number one pick for this year!!

I thought Jason Campbell was the answer?
He is if the question is, 'who's the biggest bust of a draft pick ever selected by the taterskins.'
Otherwise, not so much.

QuoteLooks like we are the only team with a future... We have a brilliant young coach to take over in Greg Williams. We have excellent young players who will have years under their belt.
We will have a young QB in Jason Campbell, along with young TE, RB, WR...
We are the only team in the NFC East with a future...
Giants have Eli Manning at the QB position, and they aren't going anywhere with him. Eli = Bust. It's Dave Brown all over again.
McNabb is getting old, and Andy Reid has overstayed his welcome. I expect a coaching shuffle down there in Philly which will stall Eagles for years to come...
Cowboys will also have coaching changes which will keep their team from being consistant, and it will also take them time to get up to strenght.
It's obvious, taterskins are the future of NFC East. Presently we're struggling, but the future is ours.

Football outsiders article on Jason Cambell:
Read this link to see how they have been suprisingly accurate in the past: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/2006/11/18/ramblings/stat-analysis/4563
Jason Campbell
I don't know a single taterskins fan not excited for the Jason Campbell era to start. According to FO's advanced metrics, Brunell was not playing exceptionally poorly (ninth in DVOA), but anyone watching the taterskins play this year could see that even if the end is not here yet for Brunell, it is definitely in sight. A distinct inability to throw the ball downfield to gamebreaking receivers like Santana Moss and Antwaan Randle El has really limited the taterskins offense. With Campbell at the helm, expect that to change in a hurry.
If there is one way to describe Campbell as a quarterback it would be prototypical. He is 6′4″, 230 pounds with good mobility and the cannon arm that everyone loves. His college stats profile of 39 starts and 64.6% completion rate is quite favorable as well.
However, the devil is in the details. Campbell has played in six offensive systems in the past six years. I have seen him described a slow learner, but this is probably related to him having to learn a new system every year. I have to imagine that Al Saunders would not have given Campbell the keys to this offense and its 700-page manual (playbook) if he wasn't comfortable with it.
Campbell's college stats also have on major red flag, his number of attempts. In general I don't use attempts in the projection formula because number of attempts tends to be highly collinear with games started. In the case of Campbell, because he played with Ronnie Brown, Cadillac Williams, and Brandon Jacobs at Auburn, he was not asked to throw the ball very often. If I used attempts instead of games started the formula is, in general, almost as accurate, but would give a much lower projection for Campbell.
I suspect this means that Campbell will slightly underperform his projection, which for this year is about 4.0 DPAR per game. Still, I expect Campbell to be an immediate improvement over Brunell, despite a decent number of rookie mistakes. By the end of the year, taterskins should be looking forward to a bright future, at least at the quarterback position.
Not even a taterskins loss can cheer me up today.... thats sad.

Quote6:15 p.m., Saturday -- Run into two guys who work at a tennis club. Eddie and Kevin from the Shipwatch Yacht and Tennis Club in Largo. The tennis pro had a Greg Norman look about him. Puffy blond hair. His buddy a black guy. We talk football and how they love the taterskins. I start on the beer and chat with them. The team arrives and they begin bouncing around asking who everyone is. They get a photo with Sonny. I take the picture. Sonny may hold this against me .
Quote7 p.m., Saturday -- Team is in the house. Waiting the guys for drinks then dinner. Sushi is the word for tonight. Spot Larry in the lobby so I pre-purchase a cocktail so it's waiting for him. Few kiss up to the man like me. Immediately spotted is a young brunette with back issues from highly noticed implants. Massages are offered to each other, but not actually delivered.
Quote7:20 p.m., Saturday -- Dale Lindsey is at the bar watching the game. I offer to buy him a drink but he says no. I figured.
Quote7:45 p.m., Saturday -- Michigan game is GREAT. Too bad my boys lose. Eddie or Kevin, the Greg Norman look alike, cozies up to Larry and explains why the taterskins-Cowboys rivalry is the best in all of sports. You see, television exists. And football is made for television. And television and football killed baseball and is No. 1. So the No. 1 rivalry is Dallas-Washington. Logic is sound but not everyone buys it.
Quote8:10 p.m., Saturday -- Go to the concierge to get passes so I can go to the room and pick up cigars. Tell the woman and she goes to look. Standing with me is Jason Campbell, Antwaan Randle El and some other friends of theirs. Randle El has a wife, son and two daughters with one kid on the way. He's hoping for a boy because he'll never get out of the house with four women. Concierge can't find passes for "Stream Skills." I ask her how familiar she is with English and actually had to SPELL "SKINS" for her. Hello. Who's at your hotel? Run into Coach Jack Burns in the elevator. Wish him luck.

The superbowl isn't out of the question
QuoteI am so depressed about this team, for the here and now, and for the future, that I've simply decided to live in denial.
Looking at the NFC landscape, it's pretty clear that a 9-7 team will most likely earn the last wild card-- 8-8 is even a possibility. If we go 9-7, that means win win tie-breakers with the Panthers, Falcons, Saints, and Rams-- all teams that potentially fall under that 9-7 umbrella.
Seeing it's very clear that our defense is fast approaching dominance, and Jon Jansen is clearly the best right tackle in football, not only do I see 9-7, but I wonder if any of the final six games will be a challenge?
Clearly, we can just stick Carlos Rogers on Steve Smith this week and eliminate that threat.........
Seriously folks, I see our future as SO bleak, that all I can do is pray for a miracle over these next 6 games. As improbable to impossible as it seems, it actually seems more likely to me than us fielding a better team NEXT year.

QuoteLook, I know it's not looking good right now, but hear me out. The Giants lost tonight, dropping them to 6-4. The Cowboys are also 6-4. At 5-5, the Eagles are left without their star quarterback and it appears the injury bug has struck again up there in Philly. The Giants could easily lose three of their next six games, as could the Cowboys. If we win out and the Eagles continue losing, we could make it to the playoffs at 9-7. Who woulda thought?
The skins need to win out, and we'll need some help, but there is still a chance we can catch up. If the Giants keep playing like they are and our beloved Skins wake up and win out, we could still win the division. I know it's a longshot, but I think it could happen. Who's with me?
Uhm, what? ???
Quotehahah ppl think we can go 9-7. We're starting to sound like eagles fans. We've played 10 games and we've only won 3 of them (one of them against houston).

We can point and laugh at him, but after the season is over, Im going to get him to negotiate my upcoming morgage.
Are you thankful? :-D
QuoteThere are many things for which I am thankful for and I thought a Thanksgiving thread would be nice here.
First, I am grateful that I have the luxury to get so upset and emotionally invested in something as trivial as football. Football is an escape. How wonderful is it to live in a nation where we are safe, comfortable, and secure enough that the world can end just because our sports' team is doing poorly.
I am grateful to have an owner who was the first to donate to 9/11. Who leant his jet to players to go to Lousiana after Katrina, to visit family members who were ill, who keeps trying.
I am grateful to Gibbs for always remembering us in his words, for coming back, for baring every sling and arrow personally and graciously. This year, he truly has been the Christian in the Colluseum and even as they release the Lions he has faced them with dignity.
I am grateful for the Cowboys's win, the Jaguars thriller, and all the pockets of happy screams.
I am grateful for all the acts of friendship and comradery that I have found here, you have made me laugh, you have shared my screams of rage, of frustration and care.
I am grateful for the forgiveness of my friends on Extremeskins for my tireades and their indulgence of my sometimes bizzarre thoughts.
I am grateful for the learning and knowledge I have gained here of the trivial, political, scientific, and unique.
Thanks to all of you I have known for years, for the background struggles that I am unaware of to make this awkward ark float, the one's who fill the galleys, and even the one's who brought to much of their luggage aboard and drive me crazy with their bleating.
And even though, it's hard to say that this year hasn't been a turkey. To have my taterskins and Extremeskins still gives me a Thanksgiving.
i am thankful that i still have testicles unlike that guy.
how do these fruits continue to top their previous nonsense, year after year. hilarious.
I am thankful that I don't have to associate myself with that bunch of nitwits.
I am grateful to Gibbs for always remembering us in his words, for coming back, for baring every sling and arrow personally and graciously. This year, he truly has been the Christian in the Colluseum and even as they release the Lions he has faced them with dignity.

I'm really happy that Gibbs is a religious zealot. Anything he can do to make me hate him more is appreciated.
I'd like to see them lose to the Lions after reading that.

ESPN The Magazine article on the taterskins sucking (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?id=2672668)
QuoteI asked an Indianapolis Colts defender what he thought of Al Saunders' taterskins offense, and he said, "Gimmicky." I asked a taterskins player what he thought of defensive guru Gregg Williams, and he said, "Arrogant. Thinks he invented the wheel."
Quote"Why are we the 30th defense in the league? I think coaches got arrogant, I think Gregg got arrogant," the player said Tuesday, asking not to be identified. "They thought they figured it all out. They thought, 'We can win with scheme, we don't need players.' Don't be mistaken, this is a player-driven game, and so you need players. Any time in life when somebody thinks they've got it all figured out, it's going to come and get you. It's going to come and get you ... the sentiment is a lot of guys are mad because the coaches think it's all about them. They think they're f------ geniuses, thinking they can just let guys go and get away with handling people badly."
QuoteTo be specific, taterskins defenders, particularly in the secondary, have regressed, Taylor being the main culprit. Out of the University of Miami, Taylor was arguably the most-talented cover safety to enter the league in years. His first preseason game, he intercepted two passes, returning one for a score. But he's been tinkered with so much now, taterskins players say he no longer plays on instinct.
A lot of Taylor's woes can be traced a lot to the hiring of Steve Jackson as taterskins safety coach. Jackson came with Williams from Buffalo, where he was a lower-level defensive coach, and Jackson supposedly was hurt when Williams chose DeWayne Walker as his main secondary coach in 2003 and 2004. He wanted the job himself, and when Walker left after the 2005 season, he assumed he'd get it. But Williams' old defensive coordinator in Buffalo, Jerry Gray, had just become available, and Williams hired him. Jackson was ticked.
So Williams threw him a bone, a bone which has literally torn up the secondary. He made Jackson safeties coach and Gray cornerbacks coach and allowed Jackson to run his own meetings. That means that the taterskins' safeties and corners do not meet together, which is practically unheard of.
"Talk to any coach in the league, and ask them, 'Have you ever heard of corners and safeties not meeting together?'" the taterskins player says. "They'd say, 'What are you talking about?' That's crazy. But ever since minicamps, OTAs, training camp, we hadn't met as a secondary. On the field, the corners will start making a call or doing something, and the safeties will be, 'What are you talking about? We didn't go over that.' So now the corners are expecting help in certain situations, and the safeties aren't getting there in time. And people got beat in the secondary.
"Everybody was saying they had to start meeting together. So the last three weeks they have. But 40 percent of the time Steven Jackson's not in the meeting. Because he pouts, because Jerry's running the meeting."
QuoteAccording to the taterskins player, Jackson then began berating his players profanely -- although he tends to go lighter on Taylor -- and they reached bottom in Philadelphia, when Donte' Stallworth beat Taylor deep for an 84-yard touchdown. Witnesses say that at that point, the other defensive coaches became officially peeved at Jackson for making Taylor "play like a robot," and for turning him into a confused, regressing player who now tunes out coaches and teammates.
Wait, so is Sean Taylor the best safety in the history of the NFL yet?
For being an integral part in tearing apart the Skins' secondary and consequently, their defense?
Well... yeah. :-D

Quote'largely built on one anonymous source'.....thats kind of a compelling detail, don't you think Todd? I'm not saying there aren't elements of truth in that story, but truth is far more subjective than most believe around here. I'm amazed that nearly every comment in this thread seems to echo absolute acceptance of the contents of the that article as 'the truth'.
You guys should know better. Never believe all that you read. The only people that know are the ones knee-deep in this mess, and even they likely don't universally agree on 'whats going on'. If the author really knew the facts, he wouldn't have to rely on a single anonymous source (one who's motivations we cannot even pretend to know) for his information.
I don't doubt there are problems. You don't find yourself where we are as a team after a promising last year without there being problems. I just doubt this article paints the whole picture
For the record, I really like Gregg Williams, and I refuse to sell him down the river based on this kind of article
QuoteGregg Williams is a good coach. Gregg Williams led our defense to top ten finishes two years in a row. He also built good defenses in Tennessee and Buffalo. Because of his history of success as a defensive coach, I find it hard to believe that he is primarily responsible for our defensive failings. Also, I think he has done well enough here to warrant giving him a chance to right the ship.
Joe Gibbs is a Hall of Fame coach. I think suggesting that he has lost the team to such an extent as this article claims is ridiculous. While I disagree with the hate directed at Gregg Williams, it is at least understandable. The hate directed at Gibbs is just ludicrous. I find it hard to believe that a Joe Gibbs team could have this kind of upheavel. If they do, then I think that Gibbs is the best man to fix it.
Bubba has also gone on the attack that this is made up, unfounded garbage that you shouldn't believe.
Quotea coaching staff doesn't suddenly forget how to coach in one season
especially the ones with the pedigree as the Skins have
people believe what they want, no real evidence needed
QuoteJoe Gibbs doesn't allow things to get out of hand, in fact anyone with a little knowledge of Joe Gibbs, and his history, know that no way in hell that most of that could happen, even in a lesser degree
Remember that time Gibbs got all pissed off about the bus leaving those fans behind? He was a fargin' monster! He talked about it in his press conference and then made sure the bus waited the next week. Balls, man. Huge balls. Leadership you can be proud of.
good ending going on in dc

The taterskins entered the year with a new offense and sought to play tight, defensive halves until the offense found itself. With a young QB, the same thing is happening, only, now, we're actually bothering to play defense. It's strange remembering what it is like to stop someone. Obviously it's not good the offense is in such a shell. We're afraid of Carolina and are playing it close to the vest. Too close, for sure, but, so close as to only be possible if your defense is showing up.
That it is likely becomes the first encouraging sign we've had this year. Campbell remains a young QB capable of much and capable of missing things. He had Lloyd for a TD if he gets it there. Betts needs to slow it down on his runs and screens for bigger yards. Duckett is no short yardage back. Cut him and leave Sellers in the role, who does what you want in that role.
The good part is merely this defense can win games. Where it's been I don't know. But, I was happy to see it.

QuoteToday I saw a taterskin team featuring a fantastic defense. It was beautiful. Prior to the year starting, my buddy and I talk about this defense and he always says, "It seems like we can blitz and we always have guys in the right spot to stop a pass." And, it did. That's what it used to be like. Now, after weeks of never seeing that, you saw a dominating, aggressive, impressive, strong defense.
Obviously the Panthers aren't a good offense, but, so what. We can't play against bad or good offenses this year. Suddenly we're getting incredible amounts of pressure on the quarterback with minimal blitzes. Suddenly we're covering and knocking passes away. Suddenly we're making tackes AT the spot of contact. Suddenly everything is how it was for two years.
And it pisses me off.
I haven't actually been upset with this team all year. From preseason, on, it just never seemed to be together. It never seemed to make the connection as a team. It was off. The horrible losses weren't really demoralizing because we were a putrid team. Losing is what putrid teams do. So, I watched as a team with the talent to do good things on both sides of the ball seemed so utterly and completely incompetent and wondered when it would look different.
At least on defense, that happened.
And I'm furious.
It shouldn't take Joe Gibbs yelling at his guys that he's tired of standing up there taking blame for every loss that is ON those players. It shouldn't take a defense finally being called out and made the focus of the team's problems for the players to put aside their egos and play like men. And, it should take the coaching staff this long to find the trigger to do this.
It's embarrassing and beneath the character guys we have and quality coaching staff we had. I'd rather have played like dogs the rest of the year than to pull a game out like this that reminds you, we have all the players we need to BE a good team.
The offense can run the ball against anyone. Campbell needs to get more reps, and the passing game needs to improve, but, the defense can stop good receivers, prevent big plays, get pressure, stop the run and play well. This is the team we have. This is not the team we've seen.
As a fan it infuriates me the garbage performances are not due to inability, but, due to ego and, frankly, an inability of players to do as asked and an inability of coaches to get them to. I was actually content to watch this team play like idiots and cut the guys who were doing so. That they can be called out and respond is irritating.
Now, I suspect it's more than just the players executing better and making tackles. In addition, you saw the schematic changes on offense and defense. We dedicated ourselves to the run on offense, a thing only possible when the defense isn't giving up touchdowns every drive. Defensively, you saw Williams shadow Smith, taking him out of the game, using his most consistent cover guy in Springs to trail him around. You saw more man coverage. More of Taylor and linebackers covering men rather than the passive zone. And, I bet you'll discover you saw a million of the defensive line stunts, games, delays and tricks discarded and just let those guys play and beat their men. No defensive line in football is as good against the run as ours, when they are just worried about beating their blockers and making tackles, instead of doing the two-step around one another to confuse blockers.
I'm disappointed and angry in this team now, for the first time, because they should be better than this. I'm disappointed would allow their envy over the credit Williams gets to fail to do as asked, preferring to lose, than let him bask in their success. I'm angry the coaching staff needed crisis and mutiny to get the pulse of the players enough to get the right response.
This team is what is was today. And it needs not to forget it.

Go Skins!
Anyone else want the Cardinals and Buccaneers on next year's schedule (which Washington currently has) instead of the Rams and Falcons?
In the end it won't matter, neither team will win anything.
Why so Pawn Shop Matty Bryant can up the ante and nail a 64yd FG to kill us next year? That still hurts.
only easy would be looking towards next years schedule for a team whos lost to tenn and tb this year

I'm not giving up hope until they declare us officially eliminated.

My hope has been renewed. I think 8-8 will get one wildcard team in. If we get hot 8-8 is possible, IF we get hot. Four of our last five are winable. The Eagles, Falcons and Giants at home, three teams sliding right now. The Rams on the road is winable but I worry that the Saints will take us but I feel strongly that one wildcard will be 8-8. We just have to hope that teams like NY Giants, Panthers and others continue to slide.
My hope isn't coming just from us winning today. My hope is coming from the fact that our defense seems to have had a moment of enlightenment this week and also the fact that the rest of the NFC is looking pretty horrible except Dallas and Chicago.

What the hell does that have to do with George preston Marshall?
He's the reason a lot of black fans became Dallas fans.
Quote"We'll start signing Negroes," Washington taterskins owner George Preston Marshall once quipped, "when the Harlem Globetrotters start signing whites."
Why would a black man want to root for a team whose owner said that? It took a warning from the friggin secretary of the interior to get Marshall to integrate.

Are you being serious? Why am I not surprised.
Quotetaterskin" is a racist epithet for Native Americans and one of the color metaphors for race used in North America and Europe since invasion by Europeans.
And before you go all "But our owner named them the taterskins because he wanted to honor our coach who was
PART Sioux". Well, then, shut the farg up.
QuoteThe name taterskins would later be used for a NFL football team. The team was originally known as the Boston Braves, but changed to the Boston taterskins when they left Braves field for Fenway Park. The name "taterskins," according to sports lore, was chosen to "honor" the team's coach, William "Lone Star" Dietz, whose mother was allegedly "Sioux". Indian Country Today debunked this myth as pure fabrication with no basis in fact at all. Dietz was entirely of European ancestry. In 1937 the team moved to Washington, D.C. and became the Washington taterskins, joining Capital Hill as the second football team of Washington, D.C..
does anyone truly believe an owner would name an entire franchise after a coaches mothers ancestry

Not for minute. Marshall was a racist pig. It's a shame the NFL as we know it today has allowed for this name to carry on.
You know I'm part native american, I don't give a damn about the name of the franchise. I mean it might be a little insensitive, but really...I have plenty of other things to point and laugh at without needing to call them racists for having the football team named taterskins. I mean I'm sure it was degrading to Native Americans to have white people call them "Cheif" too, but no one's crying about Kansas City's name.

A Chief is the head of the tribe, it's also a rank in the Navy, it's not nearly as degrading as the name 'taterskin' is.
By today's standards maybe...but think about it back then. That's like goin up to an Irishman and saying "hey, mick" or going up to an Italian guy and sayin "Hey Tony" or going up to a hispanic guy and saying "hey, Juan". Not every Irish guy was named Mick, not every Italian guy was named Tony, and not every hispanic guy was named Juan. I can envision Archie Bunker in the stuck elevator talking to the young hispanic couple as I speak. Not every Native American would like a white guy saying "hey, cheif" to him.
Kansas City Cheiftens (sp?) or Kansays City Warcheifs might be more "acceptable", but who the farg cares? People make too big of an issue out of shtein these days.
The taterskins suck, lets enjoy point and laughing at thier fans. Screw thier team name. They suck.
is it at the top of the list of things in the world to worry about....of course not
is it spit in your face racist....farg yes
is it comparable to the word chief....farg no and i dont even know why youd try to make the comparison
id compare it to a team being called the neckties and having a picture of a black man black hanging as their emblem
The taterskins suck, lets enjoy point and laughing at thier fans. Screw thier team name
so their cornball fans are more worthy of you laughter than their team name is worthy of your anger?...priorities
i can bash both...but at least theres a chance of the team name changing one day...the fans will always be douchebags
"taterskins" is a racist term despite all protestations to the contrary by the team's deluded fans.

A Chief is the head of the tribe, it's also a rank in the Navy, it's not nearly as degrading as the name 'taterskin' is.
I think the Chiefs have come under attack from Native Americans but not to the extent of the taterskins.
Because, as you said, Chief is the leader of the tribe. It's a position of honor, prestige, blah blah blah. There's nothing demeaning about it.
Another thing with the Chiefs is that their logo is an arrowhead, not an actual indian. And their mascot is a friggin Wolf. Although it looks more like a mouse than a wolf imo.
I was never in favor of the Skins changing their name but I'm changing my stance on that now.
But not because I want them to be more politically correct. I just think it would be hilarious if skins fan had to go out and buy all new gear. Hopefully they'd all go broke and couldn't afford to keep teh internets, thus making it a more enjoyable place for everyone else. Plus, it would really piss them off and I think that would be super.
Yeah, an arrowhead is very stereotypical. Not all Native Americans today use arrowheads. :boom
No but seriously...it shouldn't be an issue, but then again I'm very...not uptight...when it comes to ish like this.
But that laast part of your post has a VERY good point...I think I might ahve to agree with you and want them to change it :-D

Jason Campbell is the messiah and we're going to the promised land.
(http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=183091")
He's serious, too.
QuoteWith all of the talk about the Skins turnaround, the articles, and so on, there hasn't been alot of talk about Campbell. This kid is for real, and the players believe in him. I think the inpired play we saw from the whole team last Sunday was as much about Campbell's presence as it was about the article, Gibbs' meeting with the team, or anything else. The players, especially the oline, are rallying around JC and raising their games.
Now, we've got 5 games to go, and we probably have to win them all to get the playoffs. Hmm something feels familiar here, and our next 2 games are at home against 2 struggling teams.
I think we'll see inspired play from here on out. Gibbs is going to take back control of his team, and the players believe they have a chance again with Campbell in there. Will they run they table? I don't know, the Saints in New Orleans is looking like a pretty tough game right now. This is though, the beginning of the turnaround and getting back to greatness.
Despite all of the doom and gloom, and all the whining about the team needing a GM, the Skins are not near as bad off as many believe. Our first rounder will probably be used on the dline, and the team will look for veteran, blue collar FAs to add to the oline and secondary.
Next offseason, Gibbs will go back to his roots of physical, tough training camps, and the team will finally learn the whole offense. Campbell will have the whole camp as the #1 QB, and he and the taterskins will come back for the 07 season ready to go.
This is the beginning of an era, and it all starts with Campbell. This is going to be fun.
Quoteand the team will look for veteran, blue collar FAs to add to the oline and secondary.
I whole heartedly agree with this part of that dude's post. They will add blue collar free agents next year. And they'll pay a king's ransom for them too. I can't wait until they sign Mike Lewis to a 6 yr, $80million contract.
That way they can have 4 strong safeties?

QuoteExtremeSkins Fan View: You Could?
By Arthur Mills
ExtremeSkins.com
December 1, 2006
The defense was so good I could cry.
Ten weeks of largely lifeless play on a team far closer to 1-9 than 3-7, and then against Carolina last Sunday we get what was strangely reminiscent of what we've seen before with this team--and what we thought we had with this team.
Apparently all that's required to get our guys to play like they care is an anonymous source on the team bad-mouthing the defensive coaching and being yelled at by the head coach.
One wonders if the anonymous player was right about the dysfunction of the defense given how it was possible for it to actually play in the dominating fashion it did against Carolina. Gregg Williams arrogantly appeared to call plays requiring Xs and Os to meet and not have Os run through the Xs. Nutty professor he.
We really ought to run him out of here for not doing that sooner, as his insistence players not cover or tackle or play their assignments or techniques really put a damper on the season. When Shaw...er, someone called him out suggesting the team lacked the personnel or coaching to play to the level expected, the anonymous player probably should have been sure it couldn't.
That's why I could cry.
This team's struggles were from a defense that seemed without heart, fight or intellect. It couldn't cover or tackle. It couldn't rush the passer or stop the run. It was a defense so completely, shockingly bad, you could only watch what you were seeing, shaking your head, thinking to yourself, "Hey, Cowboy fans are right. We do suck."
Not that we'd admit that to them. To them we just say stuff like Romo's a momo, I think is what we say. We be clever.
Those struggles now appear not to be based on a lack of talent or a lack of coaching. Instead, an ego contest pitting proud players feeling they receive too little credit for the job they do against coaches too smart for their own good who needed a comeuppance brought us to this point.
Pride for the team never materializing until the season appears largely lost. Selfishness reigned. Seriously, for weeks Carlos Rogers appeared to have the reaction time of a stone being shaped by a slow moving creek. Suddenly he's breaking on passes and actually touching them so they can't be caught.
Rogers is a sharp-dressed man. He can dance, though someone should explain to him Dirty South rap is just not that good. But, for weeks he was a human dart board where every pass hit a bulls eye. Was he coached better to play better or did he play better to play better. Number twenty-fou...er, someone should anonymously tell us.
Oddly, after watching that defense play as it did, I was infuriated.
Not since Norv Turner called his last sweep on third and eight have I been so discouraged by this team. Win or lose, I thought Joe Gibbs had found quality, character guys capable of putting petty differences aside for the good of the team.
Instead, I find an element of squawking crybaby intrigue best left for daytime soaps.
Oh my goodness, corners and safeties have separate meetings. So do linebackers and corners. What's the shocking dealio, man?
Genius coaches who put the slice into bread took this long to find a way to get the defensive line to generate pressure? Sean Taylor took this long to be the reaper again? You could get interceptions? You could make stops? You could tackle? You could stop the run? You could be in position to make plays?
All this time, you could?
I was almost happier thinking you just lost it than to know you always had it but let personality conflicts cause this nightmare season.
Now I know you didn't care enough about each other or us, as fans, to be the team you clearly were capable of being. You didn't accomplish anything against the Panthers but to show how much you let us all down for so long.
You owed each other more.
You owed us more.
In Seattle last year, after the loss to the Seahawks in the playoffs, I entered the locker room swelled with pride for the team I thought you were becoming. I so greatly admired the fight, tenacity, attitude and toughness that defined you.
Dozens of fans were outside waiting for you in the cold when you got back. A few of you stayed and signed autographs and talked at 3 a.m.
You didn't win the Super Bowl, but you were all we could have ever asked for as a team.
I hope you are all as mad at yourselves for how much you've lost this year that goes so far beyond the scores.
I hope you respect each other again so we can respect you again.
It's too late to start over. So, go ahead and start now.
One win against a mediocre team=talk of turnaround, tears and superbowls. I hate them.

QuoteWhen the taterskins actually go about scoring some touchdowns, Monday is a big day in the D.C. area for buying pizza due to the Papa John's specials tied to touchdowns. After the Niners game last year, a buddy of mine told me they were out of toppings at some stores by noon.
So, here's something for you that may be good in the lean times .
The taterskins are actually paying attention to suggestions I've made to work with their advertisers and sponsors to get stuff to the fans directly. I'm very encouraged and happy by what they're trying to do. Here's what they've just done.
Order online (www.papajohns.com) one large pizza, with up to 5 toppings for 9.99 using promo code SKINS5TOP. Promotion is valid through 12/31.
This offer is not available anywhere else. The taterskins have a newsletter with deals and they provide deals in other formats, but, this offer is intended for the ES audience.
You must order online. This offer is only for the National Capital Area Papa John's locations, so, I don't get to partake, but many of you in the D.C. area will. With hope, at least a few of you will find this offer worthwhile.
Cheers.

GF needs to hook us up with special deals, too. >:(
so that douche doesn't even live in the metro area?
however, he is right about the papa johns deal, last year when the skins scored like 6 TDs against the Niners you could get 12 free toppings on a pizza and many storew were sold out. but i think he's lying when he says he has a buddy.

The Panthers wouldn't need to really do anything, either...they can have the other wildcard spot...

It couldn't be the self-proclaimed "classiest fanbase in the NFL"? Could it?
Quotewe taterskins fans are classy, but when the team is doing as poorly as we did, and its an overrated player that flicked off little kids, we're gonna go philly on him when he goes down. Heck, Vick got off easy, i was shocked there wasn't a "Vick has herpes" chant. If the whole crowd managed to get coordinated for one "DEFENSE" chant, then I think the chants would get rather colorful. So was it classy by us, no. But do the math, (underperforming team + outed to the press by a player + losing a 14 pt lead + overrated opponent + flicked off little kids + the most dense concentration of alcohol other than a brewery/vineyard/distillation) = Boo's, cuz we have to take our frustration out on somebody. The good thing is that Vick got up. In Philly, Irvin didn't and I am sure those fans feel horrible about that. So is there a lesson here...yes, but lets put it in the past with this whole season
The guy above is so, so wrong about how we feel about the Irvin incident.
QuoteI'm extremely dissapointed to say that, today, the loudest my section got was when Michael Vick was on the ground being attended to by trainers Obviously, I'm not blaming anyone on here in particular but that really upset me. I have major gripes with the lack of effort to help the defense by the homecrowd, booing louder than cheering at times but this took the cake. I was definitely ashamed of the fans around me. Section 437 represent. Woohoo.
QuoteMy girlfriend and I were sitting in traffic coming out of the purple lot and we had our windows down because we were a bit warm. Next to us a guy and his girlfriend (both taterskins fans) are screaming into a van of 4 people (2 men and what I guess were their wives). The guy outside just keeps dropping f-bombs even with kids around and he is clearly drunk. The people inside the van were all taterskins fans as well. The guy goes on about how he has the vans liscense plate and he is gonna f'in kill them, meanwhile the fan inside the fan looks bewildered and doesnt say anything back to the drunk yelling at him.
Then the drunk picks up a glass bottle on the street and smashes it against the van windshield. Glass shatters everywhere and a piece flew into our SUV and landed right in my neck. Fortunately it wasnt a big piece, I got out to try and see where the drunk ran off too, but he was long gone. No cops came the entire time this was happening, they were right up the street doing a poor job of controlling traffic.
That screaming, bottle smashing, f-bomb dropping dude sounds like a good dude to party with.

Even Skins fans are calling him on it, the first two shots are within 5 yards and this one shows Keyshawn with his arm extended out near the goaline:

QuoteIt was not PI.
If anything it was classless on Lito's part. The Panthers were in position to win the game and he stole the ball in mid-air. He is a damned thief and should be incarcerated.
Post of the year on that shteinhole board.
Quotelook it is what it is, the pics don't lie
I could care less who won, Carolina losing just proves my point about the pokes only beating .500 teams or worse, but to say hitting a receiver in the end zone with the ball in the air.... plus past the 5 yard limit isn't a penalty is silly
they can't take the win away, so why deny the obvious blown call?

QuoteBubba, don't even try. You don't even have a pirate's wooden peg leg to stand on. Good win by the Eagles, Garcia was impressive. Even though they booed him when he didn't stay injured, lol. Good old Eagles fans, they may be misguided, but at least they show passion, more than I can say for us, unfortunately.
Did anyone see the post about them pumping crowd noise through the speakers at Fedex?? Hilarious
Here's one of the better posts
"
Well, when you have fans fortunate enough to live in the area and have tickets who start leaving well before the game is over, I'd say that is pretty pathetic! A TRUE fan (of any sport/any team) stays until the clock reads "0:00!" I live 1,000 miles away. I've bled B&G for over 40 years! I would die for the opportunity to sit in the stadium and see the Skins play -- win OR lose!
So .. do you blame management when they have to do something to try and counter the effect of having pathetic fans?!"
He would die for the opportunity to watch a game at the stadium??

I'm not sure what prompted this...
QuoteIt should go without saying, but the taterskins are a for-profit entertainment based business. It is not a charity. It is not there something that is designed to be on a sliding scale. Sure, we all feel ownership and that we are a part of the team, but the NFL and the taterskins are there to make money. It's not a surprise and it's not evil.
I've never gone to a venue where food and drinks aren't overpriced. Not at RFK, Fed-Ex, Camden Yards, Kings Dominion, Sea World, or any of the Disney Worlds. Even at venues which are government run or not for profit like the Smithsonian and the National Zoo, their eateries make a killing. They don't give away concessions. It's part of the game going in and we know it. It's not Dan Snyder. It's the business model.
If you feel ripped off paying for parking, use public transportation. If you don't feel like spending seven bucks for a beer don't buy it. If you want to spend 13 dollars for a Phillips crabcake sandwich (the same price they charge at Baltimore's Inner Harbor Phillips by the way) more power to you.
You have the right to complain. It's in the first Amendment, but the villification of Snyder for trying to make a profit on his investment is silly. There are plenty of legitimate things to take a swipe at Snyder for. The fact that you buy overpriced pretzels isn't one of them. The fact that you sell your tickets to Cowboy's fans isn't one of them. The fact that he spends too much on underachieving free agents and passes the cost down to you... Well, I'm not sure about that, but what business doesn't pass its costs onto its consumers.
Again, the taterskins exist to make money for the NFL and its owners. It was the same for Jack Kent Cooke. Believe it or not, he wanted to make a profit on the 'skins and did.
Snyder's fault probably lies more in that he's trying to hard and tinkers too much. The sin of wanting to make money... that's just a byproduct of the business
Who the hell wrote that rhetorical nonsense?

I smelled something rancid, followed the stink to this shtein hole.
Nice board. 209 pages of hating on the taterskins. So basically you guys go to Extremeskins and the DTC page then post what you see and then laugh, hence the point and laugh title.

thats a cute little catch phrase you got there. you should end every sentence with it.
and apparently you do know who i am. who are you?
I've been to Landover to watch the Eagles embarrass the taterskins five or six times. I'm sure your ignorant Loudon county redneck ass has really enjoyed watching Eagles fans take over your stadium year after year. By the way, how does it feel to get decked by one of your fellow Redksins fans for being such a farging cartoonish clown?

Guys, you have to do better than that!

He was probably refering to how Eagles fans take over that dump of a stadium. He thinks he'll have to deal with the same crowd noise (Boo!, You suck! Stay down!, Garcia sucks! Fag! You fag! You're faggy! Totally fag!, etc.) he did this past Monday.

They still wasted a 3rd on Duckett and this extension shows further proof of their idiocy. Point. Laugh.
When did the forums start working again? I used to check on here like once a week for the past few months but all i'd get is a white page that said invariable link or some crap like that. I did a search for the boards on google too but some business page with eagles crap came up.
They've always been up. But you had to clear cookies awhile back due to some problems.

taterskins suck. Archuleta = god
Got that right. That's 31 million sitting on the third stringer's bench. As much as i hate to say it, he has been the biggest free agent bust we've signed since neon deion. I can only hope we'll cut our ties with him after this season.
Apparently the way his deal was structured it will cost about $7M to cut him after this year. I read it on ES via LaCanfora's blog. So unless King Dan plans on eating that much cash, he'll be a Skin in 2007.
Or maybe Dan will send him home and give him the plasma screens he was going to give to Coles when he was going to pay him not to play.

Oh god.
ha...those are awesome
The last one is pretty farging hilarious. Good stuff.
About the Betts deal- down here mostly every talk show is bashing it (even Danny's bought and paid for XXXESPN horseshtein propaganda shows). The argument is that they gave Betts borderline starting money, when they had until March to get something done and see if he continued to have success. He has had two good games against poor/average run defenses, and in the five years he's been a skin hasn't really ever showed himself to be a consistently above average back in the league. Plus, they have Portis, so with Portis healthy, Betts figures to get about five touches a game. I personally think this will go down as a bad move. If they planned on using Betts to split the workload with Portis, or to phase him out, then it would be smart, but I think that won't be the case.
I think it's super awesome that they extended Betts while the guy they gave up a first day draft pick for can barely find his way onto the active roster.
Jamaal Green signed to the Skins practice squad
taterskins fans never boo thier own coaches/team/God Gibbs. ::)
"All the coaches should be fired after this loss. Keep Gibbs in the FO if you must for sentimental reasons, but don't let him make any personnel decisions. Just give him an office and a golden parachute. This team is an embarrassment and a disaster and new blood is needed to have any hopes of turning it around. Not giving it to the RB who has 170 yards is the final straw. The coaches are either stupid or incompetent or both. Whatever the case, THEY ALL MUST GO. NOW."
Let's all point and laugh...
Although I would have liked to blow them out, I think it's even better we squeaked it out and they had a chance to win... hahahahahaha

QuoteRe: Stop Crying. Typical Loss for Team Starting New Quarterback
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for making a thread like this. We went into rebuilding mode as soon as we made a decision to start JC. Gibbs knows this as well as anyone. Next year, we will be a year into Saunders system, have a healthy CP and Betts, and a good, young QB who can strech the field with Santana Moss. And if the O-Line can run block like this all of next year, the offense will be golden. And the defense will be improved next year too. I mean, how can they get any worse? Andre Carter is coming around, and the team will address some problems in FA and the draft. We will be a better team next season, the question is, how much better?

Just when I think that beating the skins and winning 150 bucks off my buddy cant get any sweeter, the icing is added to the cake.
After the game I catch my flight to go back to work for the week, with a layover in Washington IAD. There are a few disgrunteled fans (I saw a jersey and overheard a few people talking) but nothing really worth noting.
Anyway, I board the flight and we all get seated. The flight attendant gets on the PA and annouces there was some sort of problem with the movie we were supposed to have, and she gave us two choices which would be determend by a bunch of hicks clapping:
Invincible
Little Miss Sunshine
Invincible got modest claps and one guy two rows ahead of me booed, while, from where I was sitting, Little Miss Sunshine got a pretty good ovation. The flight attendant played Invincible anyway.

DTC gone? Mooby? Come on, kids. You can own up to being beat by Jeff Garcia. And, well, the refs. Because that was obviously pass interference by Stallworth.

"Gibbs has us in perfect position to make the playoffs -- if two or three team planes crash we're right back in this thing."
I think it's quite appropriate for me to post this again.
(http://www.boomspeed.com/superpsn/skins.jpg)
this game immediately goes into my top 10 alltime of fun at games
how about the genius of Coach Angel when he took Betts out at the 3 yard line and put in Duckett who'd been on the sidelines all day.
BRILLIANT!
Betts looked studly compared to Duckett yesterday. Duckett's few carries actually made the Eagles run defense look something other than a complete joke.
that's just the honor of Joe Gibbs, he doesn't want to beat you with his best players. he feels its only fair to eliminate mismatches and make things fair for both teams
QuoteI've only really scanned the title threads, so, I'm hoping this isn't redundant.
This game made me feel pretty good. We never stopped fighting. Our D hung in there and didn't hang their heads. We kept moving on offense and had quite a few scoring drives. I can imagine them easily becoming touchdown drives soon. The passing game looked far more dangerous. This was a game we won everywhere but on the scoreboard.
400 yards offense
Dominated time of posession.
Almost overcame the refs. First drive we should have gotten the ball on the one with a PI. Instead, the refs called the most non existant hold possible to give them a TD opportunity. Refs refused to call anything but the most blatant calls against the Eagles.
Campbell and Cooley both came back from rough starts.
This game gave me a lot of hope. We'll be okay next year.
Phreak, that's actually a fairly reasonable take on the game, IMO.
They still lost. They did fight back and all that but its still a loss. Just like the TB loss is a loss for the Eagles no matter what .
I'm not into moral victories.
That's all well and good, but I'm sure there are funnier takes on the game for you to post for our amusement.
Do better.

Not to us, of course... but Bucs and Giants fans both knew what was up.
The Eagles barely, barely, barely held on to win yesterday. Yes, a win is a win, and it was nice to actually hold on instead of giving it up, but I see no reason to ignore what was actually a decent effort by the skins and a concerning one from our Eagles.

I choked even more when I bought four burgers and two fries and paid close to $70 with tip.....our philosophy has changed, our vision, our players attitudes, even our die hard fans have changed..we can only hope that Gibbs has not had the game pass him up and believe that he can turn this around..my wife jokes with me and says every year for the past 11 years we have been married I always say "next year is our year"....is it? Lets face it...how long do we fans continue to support and pay these outrageous prices..all we are asking for is a winning season and to make it the playoffs..yes we made it last year but i also think the other teams floundered..we got lucky but we'll take it! Without us fans the taterskins are nothing....we love our team but when is enough! At the very least, let's not get OUTFANNED!

Crap, they might actually be getting smarter:
Quote6. Thou shalt not sacrifice draft picks unneccessarily, such as obtaining a veteran for the sole purpose of keeping thy bench warm.
Only a small group of them, Paco.
There was a thread on there today where many of them were still defending the acquisition of Duckett because it was insurance for Portis. They have brainwashed themselves into believing that. Never mind the fact that they had insurance already in Ladell Betts. And they could have picked up a back dirt cheap to back up Betts should Portis go down.
What fan sacrifices draft picks? Sometimes taterskins fans have trouble differentiating themselves from the ownership of the team.
I think I died a little inside when the taterskins beat the Eagles twice. Now, I'm alive again. Kind of.

I wish I had taken a picture of that parking lot. I still can't believe how empty it was. Then again, I think it cost like 8 grand to park there.
I also noticed a lot of empty seats throughout the game too. And I'm talking about rows of empty seats....like 10-15 in a row. Pathetic.
I noticed a lot of empty seats on the telecast and even made a remark about them. A taterskins fan at the bar insisted that every taterskins game is sold out and fully attended no matter what their record is, what time of year it is, etc.
Just as he said it, Fox showed the upper deck with rows and rows of yellow seats empty at which time we all started laughing at this dude.
Undaunted, he insisted that those seats were occupied by taterskins fans in yellow shirts. All of them.

And I hear stories from them how they take over our stadium every year about 25 times a year.
The state of delusion is tax free.
At the beginning of the season there were no fewer than 25 people each week watching the taterskins at the pub.
Last week they had one table of four watching the game including my obtuse pal, his buddy, and their "wives."
Amazingly, next season will bring the same kind of year-long dedication from their fans. :yay

It's a long standing rumor but I don't think there's ever been any actual proof. In fact, I think there is documented proof that the coach in question did not have Sioux (or any Native American) ancestry at all.
I read that thread the other night, they start out patting each other on the back about how 'taterskins' is to signify respect and honor than get bitchslapped by this guy with the cold hearted truth:
QuoteI'm sorry my friend your word origin is TOTALLY wrong. Until the DallasCowboys came into existance, the taterskins were the only team to play in the American south. Hence, the theme song Hail to the taterskins implored "fighting for old Dixie", referenced scalping, alleged that all Native Americans are drug-addicted failures, and encouraged a policy of manifest destiny by donating smallpox-infected blankets.
And as far as racist? George Preston Marshall(who was racist as hell) didn't even want the team to segregate. Under owner George Preston Marshall, the taterskins were the last team in the NFL to integrate and allow black players. Marshall pressured other owners to segregate the league in 1934. Despite the color barrier being broken in 1946, the taterskins held out until 1962 when their lease at RFK Stadium was threatened. Racial tensions remained high, as All-American RB Ernie Davis refused to play for the team. Integration was not fully achieved until the taterskins received some old-fashioned Nubian beatdowns at the hands of the Cleveland Browns.
So according to Native Americans, the name is offensive as hell. Thats like naming them the "Washington Porch Monkeys" because the city is predominately black.
What makes this thread even better is that 3/4 of them claim they are or know someone who is 'Native American' and how they don't take offense to the name.
What makes this thread even better is that 3/4 of them claim they are or know someone who is 'Native American' and how they don't take offense to the name.

For thoes of you who have been to skins games in DC:
QuoteI guess it boils down to, as far as fans go, I'm A LOT more worried about the ones who try and get people kicked for standing on defense, the ones who sit on their hands all day, the ones who don't mind when there's 2 minutes left in the 4th, we're up by three, 3rd and goal for the D on the 2 yard line and 80% of the stadium is sitting quietly. As far as I'm concerned, the fans who come with bags will STILL be 10 times more passionate fans than that 80% of the POS stadium that sits there apathetically the whole game likes it's a freakin opera.
I'm come out of that stadium every Sunday totally dejected by the effort of the fans around me so I guess, imo, even if it's misguided, at least if they're wearing bags they care SOMEWHAT. More than you can say for much of the stadium most weeks.
Is that for real? Do they REALLY yell at people (and even try to get them kick out) for cheering on the defense? Wow.

It's a constant a pretty much every NFL stadium. More so in places like New England and Washington because of the outrageous ticket prices. Thing is, the Patriots have won 3 superbowls. The taterskins are about as bad as the Lions in the past 15 years. Makes sense.

From: "Worst run franchise in football? "
QuoteWe make the playoffs and get a win in the playoffs last year. We have Super Bowl trophies sitting in our stadium and we are the franchise worth the most money. Yes we have not won a superbowl in a long time but what about the other teams that have never won a superbowl if that is your idea of success or what about the teams that our team owner is supporting due to revenue sharing. So now that I have covered two ideas of why we are not the worst run franchise what other ones do you have?
QuoteCards
Lions
49ers
Raiders
Texans
Browns
Bucs
Rams
Packers...
All those teams are in the same rut we're in...big deal some of them have ONE more win than we do...some dont. Only ONE went to the playoffs last year and oh by the way we BEAT them...none are going this year.
I guess the sky is falling on all these teams boards.
I would take THIS franchise over any of those teams franchises heading into next year. Call me crazy...call me a fan.
Never mind that the packers, rams, and bucs have won a superbowl in the past 10 years, the raiders made one, etc..... Same rut as the skins
QuoteOh, and by the way, Joe Gibbs won more playoff games last year than Marty has in his entire tenure in San Diego. Gibbs may be a hasbeen, but Marty is and will continue to be a neverwas.
Yeah, the skins > the chargers
QuoteI would rather have a owner that is willing to put money into his team like ours rather than lets it players go like say like the Cardinals owner. Or maybe we should have an owner that could care less about chemistry sorta like the Raiders have. Or maybe we should have an owner like the CLeveland Browns have who just could care less about his team.
QuoteNo, you are absolutely right. In the big picture, the Skins are run better, and by that I mean more Superbowl victories, always competative, recovers quickly from salary cap mistakes, ect) . Currently, both teams suck. Good first post by the way. You made me proud. I do like Lienert, he's gonna do a lot for the Cards.
Could care less about team chemistry? How many different quarterbacks have they had? How many different head coaches, assistant coaches, coordinators, etc? Come on. I hate them.

Note that the original author never claimed that the taterskins are always competitive. He claimed they were always "competative", a made-up word roughly meaning "retarded".

QuoteI have watched that ST "spit" over and over and I NEVER saw ANYTHING.
Yeah, ok. :-D
QuoteSo far this season, the opponents of the Washington taterskins have been guilty of 15 delay of game penalties that were not called. Today's they snapped the ball a full two seconds after the playclock read zero and it resulted in a first down and the Saint's first score. taterskin pass rushers were also tackled with nary a holding call, and they desperately did not want to call illegal pass, but this thread is mainly about the fact that 15 times the playclock reached zero and the officials chose not to call it.
Even after a win, it was stil all about the refs.

I didn't see it, but the refs will typically give the offense an extra second after the play clock reaches 0 before blowing the whistle rather than throwing a flag as soon as it hits 0. Why? I have absolutely no idea but the Eagles got away with it once or twice yesterday as well. In fact, most teams typically get away with it a couple times a game.

True but those other teams don't have a coaching angel on their sidelines.

I'm loving that the skins won that game. It gives their players and fans some false hope for next year.

That's not really a concern. I mean... what are the odds that they still have any draft picks come April?
Or that the coach will bother to stay at the draft for the whole day?
They don't need coaches messing around with player personnel. They have Vinny Cerrato. He rocks.
Well, at least he rocks at making sure the skins don't get too competitive long-term.
Or short term.

I don't see why it wouldn't be. His HOF bust should be indicitive of his entire coaching career, even the part that came after his induction. Even if it sucks.
I wonder how the different HOF's handle that when a player/coach/whoever is elected in and then continues to keep doing what they were elected in for. I'd imagine this is most applicable for coaches more so than anyone else.
Wasn't Parcells elected to the HOF as well?
parcells is not in the hall

QuoteThe Duckett move may not be bad
I feel that this opinion may just be original enough to earn its own topic, since I haven't seen anybody that shares it.
A third rounder. That's a good round, and a lot of good players have come out of that round. For the most part, you're not going to get many stars. On the other hand, you will probably get a contributor (special teams, most likely).
For our third round pick of the 2007 NFL draft, we pick TJ Duckett.
Bad: You could get some good talent in the third round.
Good: You probably really won't... A third round pick (depending on where in the third round it is) is not really worth that much. Certainly Duckett is worth more. TJ Duckett IS good talent. He hasn't displayed it much here, but most third rounders aren't huge contributors in their first year, either. You can't ignore what he's done at the NFL level already.
Bad: We signed him for ONE YEAR!
Good: Gibbs has been quoted as saying that Duckett was more than just a one-year move. Contracts are a funny thing. A guy can sign one for 7 years and play for 1. Likewise, a guy can sign for 1 year and end up playing 7. Our front office has said that Duckett was more than just a one-year move. I would be astonished if he wasn't a taterskin next year.
Bad: But with the emergence of Ladell Betts, we don't NEED him!
Good: How can that be looked at as a bad thing? First of all, nobody was predicting this kind of season for Betts. Second, depth at the running back position is important (as can be proven by Portis's injury).
In other words, how would you have felt if we got a guy like Duckett in the third round via the normal route (drafting him)? I say it wasn't a bad move. Most teams would jump at a third round pick like that! And he's still pretty young, with pretty low mileage.
I can't believe he's actually serious.
that place gets more amazing with each passing day...its unbelieveble how they continually top themselves
Today they are convinced that 3rd round draft picks amount to nothing more than special teamers. Danny Boy's plot to brainwash the fan base into thinking that draft picks in general are useless is starting to unfold quite nicely.

Some of that is classic and correct, but this one is a stretch...
Quote6. Not drafting Shawne Merriman
With the ninth pick in the 2005 draft, the taterskins chose cornerback Carlos Rogers, who would replace Fred Smoot (signed with Minnesota). While Rogers could develop into a solid pro, the taterskins could have boosted their pass-rush game by taking Shawne Merriman. The Maryland star went No. 12 to San Diego and has 221/2 career sacks.
Multiple teams passed on Merriman, and Rogers has been decent. I suppose it's just because he was a Terp, and they felt the skins should have known better... but it's still a stretch.
Rogers drops too many INTs that come his way. He's the Reggie Brown of their defense.
rogers has been horrible....but i agree the merriman thing is a stretch
Quote4. Trading for Brandon Lloyd
What happened: The taterskins traded two draft picks -- a third-rounder in 2006 and a fourth-rounder in 2007 -- to San Francisco for Lloyd, who received a seven-year, $29 million extension.
Intended result: The taterskins had one deep threat (Santana Moss) last year and felt Lloyd, who averaged 15.3 yards a catch and had 12 catches of 20-plus yards, would open things up for Moss downfield.
Actual result: Lloyd has more Web sites (one) than touchdown catches (zero) this season. He has caught only 23 passes for 365 yards through 14 games. Part of his production problems are quarterback-related, and he has had a few more chances with Campbell as the starter. Still, Lloyd has not come even close to meeting expectations.
Hysterical. :-D

QuoteDear Mr. Synder,
Thank you for another season at the helm of the best team in pro football.
You may think this letter a bit odd, considering the taterskins fell way short
of every fans' preseason expectation and wish.
I used to attend the games at DC/RFK stadium in the 60's and 70's with
my mom. She remembers watching Sammy Baugh and her favorite Andy
Farkis. She was even at Griffith Stadium, Sunday December 7,1941.
I was a big fan of the late great Jack Kent Cooke. To this day I feel
there was a serious reason for him not to leave the team to his son. He
understood what it took to continue this team, ever moving on the path to
greatness. I think if he were alive today he would wholeheartidly approve
of you Mr. Synder.
You Mr.Snyder are a proven winner(and then some) in the corporate
world. You are a taterskins fan. Most of all, you live and die with the Skins
as most of us on this board. Every year since you have been in charge
you have taken steps to get the taterskins to the promised land.
Unfortunately, as we all know, the outcomes haven't always been great.
You have many detractors out there that snipe at you at every availible
opportunity. Big men with Big ideas like you are always going to be a
target by those with mediocre minds. But unlike the Clevelands, Arizonas,
Detroits et al; we have a leader that is absolutely committed to our proud
Washington franchise.
The learning curve is steep in running a pro football team in todays
market. I am confident you Mr. Synder WILL find the secret in not only
building but maintaining a perennial winner.
In conclusion, keep up your relentless and tireless perseverence
in obtaining that goal. Ignore the little people. You have many fans who
support you unequivocally.
Merry Christmas to you and yours Mr. Synder. Happy days are just
around the corner.
Sincerely Yours,
Fischer Fan (and mom)

QuoteS. Spurrier as our GM
I always thought Spurriers success in college was due to his ability to recruit and spot talent. He could tell talent, and create mismatches, allowing him to play golf the rest of the time where in the NFL this just didn't cut it for a coach.
But perhaps there is another position for Steve Spurrier in the NFL, General Manager. I know I'm going to get flamed for this but I think his knowledge of spotting talent would be great for many aspects of a GM. After I saw this post it got me thinking. http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/...ad.php?t=18556

You may think this letter a bit odd, considering the taterskins fell way short
of every fans' preseason expectation and wish.
I used to attend the games at DC/RFK stadium in the 60's and 70's with
my mom. She remembers watching Sammy Baugh and her favorite Andy
Farkis. She was even at Griffith Stadium, Sunday December 7,1941.
I was a big fan of the late great Jack Kent Cooke. To this day I feel
there was a serious reason for him not to leave the team to his son. He
understood what it took to continue this team, ever moving on the path to
greatness. I think if he were alive today he would wholeheartidly approve
of you Mr. Synder.
You Mr.Snyder are a proven winner(and then some) in the corporate
world. You are a taterskins fan. Most of all, you live and die with the Skins
as most of us on this board. Every year since you have been in charge
you have taken steps to get the taterskins to the promised land.
Unfortunately, as we all know, the outcomes haven't always been great.
You have many detractors out there that snipe at you at every availible
opportunity. Big men with Big ideas like you are always going to be a
target by those with mediocre minds. But unlike the Clevelands, Arizonas,
Detroits et al; we have a leader that is absolutely committed to our proud
Washington franchise.
The learning curve is steep in running a pro football team in todays
market. I am confident you Mr. Synder WILL find the secret in not only
building but maintaining a perennial winner.
In conclusion, keep up your relentless and tireless perseverence
in obtaining that goal. Ignore the little people. You have many fans who
support you unequivocally.
Merry Christmas to you and yours Mr. Synder. Happy days are just
around the corner.
Sincerely Yours,
Fischer Fan (and mom)
:-D Can you imagine calling our owner "Mr. Lurie"?
wait a minute, that was for REAL?
Does it matter?
I especially like how he made a reference to "most of us on this board". Yeah, I'm sure Danny Boy spends his free time catching up on the goings on with the ES crew.
Writting a letter to a player, coach, owner, whoever on a message board is the lamest thing a person has ever done.

QuoteCould this happen at FedEx Field? Read below:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2706094
Some fans in Detroit are planning to protest the dismal state of the William Clay Ford-owned and Matt Millen-led Detroit Lions in their home finale for the second straight year.
Last season, about 500 people marched, chanting "Fire Mil-len!, before the Lions hosted the Cincinnati Bengals, and many wore orange during the game.
On Sunday against Chicago, another protest has been initiated by disgruntled fans. With 8:57 left in the second quarter, those interested in showing their displeasure with Ford and Millen are asked to walk out of their seats and to later walk out of the stadium.
QuoteThat's a little overboard for the Skins, the Lions fans have endured years of futility under Millen, and the ownership refuses to make a change even though every clearly sees it's necessary. Skins aren't to that level yet.
:-D Yeah, ok.

You seem to be forgeting a very important fact: Last year Coach Joe won more playoff games than Marty has in his entire tenure at San Diego.
And the Chargers are a superbowl favorite, which means the taterskins are an even better than that!!!

WEDNESDAY
Blade calls with bad news. Seems there's a been a snafu & he now won't be coming to St. Louis. An hour later, I realise that the rental car is in his name. I call Sandy at the Park & have that changed so I'll have wheels waiting for me.
SATURDAY
9:30 AM All Packed & ready to go. I stop at Hardee's for breakfast, as it's on the way. Two things happen there. The first being, I have breakfast. Duh. Now the second thing, well.......There's a kid with his siblings & Dad. Keep in mind this isn't just any kid. He's wearing an Eagles jersey. Did I mention it's one of those third alternate black ones? It's also WB36's favorite Wide Receiver, none other then T.O.
Now here's where it gets amusing. The kid has one dollar on him. He keeps trying to buy something that costs two dollars. He just doesn't get it that two is greater then one. Typical bird brained Eagle fan.
10:30 AM Although the airport parking lot is packed & end up parking at the far end of the lot, I breeze through check in & security with no problem. I then head towards my gate.
11:30 AM Board my Delta flight to Hotlanta. I have flashbacks of my last Delta flight there. <shudder>
12:15 PM Arrive in Hotlanta. This time my connecting flight hasn't left like it did last time. I take this as a good sign. However, I have about 20 minutes to catch my connecting flight to St. Louis.
12:30 PM I make the flight. Maybe today Delta won't suck.
2:30 PM I manage to beat the team to the Ritz this time. Upon walking in from the parking garage, I notice a guy wearing a Skins t-shirt. We chat for a minute or two. Turns out he's Rocky McIntosh's dad. Very nice guy. And smart too! He's heard of ExtremeSkins.
3:15 PM Settled in at the room. Unpack the laptop & have my first complaint with the Ritz. Internet access is $9.95 for 24 hours.
3:25 PM Giving in to my ES withdrawals, I go ahead & pay for the net access.
6:15 PM Sitting in the lounge, Dan Snyder walks directly by my table.
6:22 PM Jansen & Albright step out of the elevator & yell at Rabach to come on.
6:25 PM Brunnel is sighted.
6:27 PM Danny Smith is greeted at the table next to me by either friends or family members.
6:39 PM Gregg Williams is now sitting with the same folks that greeted Coach Smith.
6:40 PM I head back to elevator & pass Shawn Springs.
6:41 PM I step off of the elevator to head back to the room for a minute & run into Louis Riddick.
7:15 PM Head back downstairs to the Cigar Room. I'm promptly greeted by Larry, Sonny & Sam. Chit chat for a few minutes, then they head off next door to dinner. I order a "Coke" & a Reuben. Same thing I had here last year when the team took off on a five game win streak. You don't tug on Superman's cape & you don't screw with tradition. The bar tender then asks me who those three gentlemen were. I inform him of the greatness that was just sitting there. He says Sonny was extremely nice. I tell him they don't come any nicer.
7:35 PM In walks Pro Bowler Chris Samuels. I congratulate him on his 4th Pro Bowl. He's a very gracious & humble guy. He orders a dinner of oysters & calamari. I jokingly ask him if they're going to get Betts his 1,000 yards tomorrow. His answer, definately. I make mention how the Rams have one of the worst run defenses in the leauge. Chris tells me how the Rams like to stack the box to shut down the run. I reply with 'Jason can still beat em with his arm.' Chris says that when Jason gets the experiance, he's gonna be good. Not only does he have the arm, he can flat out move when needed. Now unfortunately, the rest of our conversation will have to remain private as it didn't pertain to football, but rather a few personal things.
I love the generalizations... He's probably referring to a 6 year old, when he talks about the kid wearing the jersey who didn't know the difference between 2 and 1. Nice Art.. you got us there!

11:10 AM Just back from the field. Although placed IR, Marcus Washington is here signing autographs for kids on the sideline. He even signed a kid's Ramsey jersey. Sean Taylor is running laps with some of the biggest damn headphones I've ever seen. Suisham is splitting the uprights from the 40. And for the Fashion Police, team's wearing white tops with burgundy pants. There's a good showing of Skins fans here already. Hopefully this place will be like last year. Quiet.
11:45 PM Just back from the field again. As the team was going into the locker room Brunell took time to to chat with two kids wear Campbell jerseys. Mark's still an all around classy guy.

1:10 PM And there he goes.
1:11 PM GREAT catch by Cooley as JC got hit.

QuoteAlright guys, I have to admit I wasn't much of a fan of the "sign here" threads when they first started appearning, but they've grown on me a little. And this one's important, IMHO.
We all know that nobody on the planet takes losing as hard and as personally as our own favorite head coach, Joe Gibbs.
The stories of him working into the wee hours of the morning at taterskins Park during his first go-round are legendary. And it could be argued whether the coach was working so hard to win games, or to avoid the searing pain he feels when we lose.
I'd argue it was to avoid the pain of losing. Virtually every successful coach says that the longer you do it, the less joy you get from winning and the more pain you get from losing. Well Coach Joe has always had less stomach for losing than anyone I've ever seen.
If there's anything else I know about Joe Gibbs, it's that when he talks about taterskin fans, he's speaking from his heart. He doesn't pay lip-service to us. We MATTER to him.
Joe Gibbs didn't need to come back to the Washington taterskins. The Washington taterskins, and we the fans, needed him to come back to us. He had already reached the pinnacle of his profession. He had nothing left to prove. He came back because he truly loves this team, and because he didn't want to see it's fans hurt anymore.
It's been a roller coaster ride since Coach Gibbs came back, more downs than ups. But I, for one, appreciate the sacrifices that coach has made to give this thing a shot at all. And I know he'll see it through.
I believe in you, Joe Jackson Gibbs. You're still the great coach I grew up watching. And as hard as it is to believe, you're an even better man. You will get this ship turned around. I'm behind you win or lose, and thankful beyond belief that you're the leader of this football team.
With all respect to your lovely wife, coach, Pat was wrong. You're not going to ruin your good name. Your strength and your faith in difficult times has only cemented your good name. And WHEN you get ring #4, that'll just top it off.
God bless you coach, and Merry Christmas. We're behind you no matter what.
:puke Merry Xmas from Racist Fans.
Well... that was disgusting.
That shtein is ridiculous. :-D :-D
QuoteMerry Christmas Coach Gibbs.
I wish Santa would have brought a win.
I still believe.

QuoteMy main criticism of the coaches this year is not getting the team's rookies and younger players in there earlier in the year.... but I said it the day he was re-signed to the taterskins, and I'll say it again - I'd rather go 0-16 with Gibbs leading a team that I can believe in versus rooting for a Spurrier or Norv lead team that thinks of the taterskins as Club Med.
With this coaching staff, we know that we wont lose due to lack of effort
QuoteI'll sign something like this any day. It's not blind faith. It's not a "Gibbs is God" type of response or feeling. It's not drinking kool aid either. So for those of you who wish to lay anything like that in here save it for somewhere where something like that may be more suited. Like a first grade class or something. It is a confidence in a coach, a man, who has demonstrated that he can coach in this league. That he can bring teams out of things like this. A man who as recently as last season, brought his team from the brink and led them to the playoffs. It is a man who recently has had players quoted saying they would like to stay with the taterskins. Despite the way things are right now. Bill Parcells once stated about Lawrence Taylor that ; "He has a confidence born of demonstrated ability."
That is what I am talking about now. Coach has been there done that, given the tshirts away and has more to give. I have a similar confidence in Joe Gibbs now. Not just because he has more knowledge about football in his pinky finger than anyone here has in their head. Not just because he does this day in day out and knows more about the players, their capabilities, and limitations than anyone here could ever hope to know. Not just because he has 3 rings that tell everyone else he's still been further than a majority of coaches have or ever will. No. It's more than just that.
It's his willingness to take things upon his shoulders and do whatever is necessary for his team and the organization to bring them back to a winning tradition. To bring them back to respectability. His willingness not only to hold the players accountable for the teams troubles but he and his coaches as well. His devotion to this team and to its fans. He is, in many ways, a leader that I to this day, aspire to be. It takes all of the above, I think, to bring teams back from such seasons and Joe possesses all of that needless to say. That and as I have stated, he has done all this before. Has he made some mistakes in his day? Absolutely. And Joe would and has been the first person to admit it. I'm betting for every mistake that we see after the fact, Joe sees 10 times that number. The important question for some is, can he or will learn from them? He's done it before so I'm betting he'll do it again.

I've never been happier that a 6-8 team beat a 5-9 team. I hate the taterskins.

QuoteSnyder even canceled an announced interview with Extremeskins.com, the fan Web site that he owns, for reasons that were never disclosed. It's a shame that interview never took place, given some of the questions proposed to the owner by Extremeskins members. Take, for example, the suggested query of one CowboyzBSuckaz: "Mr. Snyder, with the state of the taterskins cheerleaders being extremely Sexy, do you ever just want to take one, lay them on your Bentley, and rail them?"

If was able to find a link to the aricle written by the AEI economist, which was referenced in the article in the above post. Nothing we really didn't know already.
AEI: Patriots vs taterskins (http://www.aei.org/publications/filter.all,pubID.25173/pub_detail.asp)
QuoteFootball teams have a relatively simple economic problem to solve. They have to fill their rosters with players, and have to pay the entire collection of players an amount fixed by the league. They can add players in two main ways: sign veterans as free agents or hire new players out of college in a league-wide draft. Veteran free agents get a salary set in the free market. Most draftees receive a relatively lower salary set by collective bargaining. What they are paid depends on the round in which they are drafted.Economics has a very clear prediction for optimal team behavior. Firms should load up on draft picks, especially from the inexpensive late rounds. Every team has the same cumulative salary to pay, so, to outperform the other teams, you must receive higher value relative to salary from your players than your opponents receive from theirs. If, for example, you select a Pro Bowl (all-star) receiver in the fifth round of the draft, that player may well receive a salary one-tenth that of a veteran Pro Bowl receiver of roughly equal talent who has had his salary set on the market. So your team gets a huge surplus.
It is nearly impossible to derive surplus from the veteran free-agent market, since you are paying market wages. While injuries and emergencies might require some veteran signing, the draft is the only place to build a winning team.
So economics would predict that teams would uniformly put an enormous effort into perfecting their drafts, and avoid sinking excessive dollars into costly free agents. In fact, this model predicts very well the behavior of one team, the New England Patriots. Their head coach, Bill Belichick, who received his undergraduate degree in economics from Wesleyan University in Connecticut, has been an artist at squeezing value-added out of his draft picks, and has won three of the last five Super Bowls.
This economic brilliance was on display in September, when Belichick traded disgruntled receiver Deion Branch to the Seattle Seahawks for a first-round draft pick. The Seahawks gave Branch a $39 million contract, guaranteeing that they would achieve little value-added at that position. So Belichick burdened the salary cap of a rival with a fat obligation, and took home a valuable draft pick for his own team.
Belichick keeps winning because so many others in the league behave so strangely. Two economists, Cade Massey of Yale and Richard Thaler of the University of Chicago, studied years of draft history and found that teams make systematic errors that reflect a serious economic illiteracy. Coaches and general managers place too high a value on the top few picks, and too low a value on picks a bit further down.
The Washington taterskins are perhaps the leading exemplar of this tendency toward irrationality. Last spring, for example, the taterskins gave up key draft picks for high-priced veteran players. An especially silly trade gave the Jets three taterskins' picks: in the second and sixth rounds this year and in the second round next year. The trade left the taterskins with only one pick in the first three rounds this year.
To compound this error, the taterskins filled their roster with mediocre, high-priced veterans, dropping $35 million on safety Adam Archuleta, $32.5 million on defensive lineman Andre Carter, $31 million on wide receiver Antwaan Randle El, and $25 million on wide receiver Brandon Lloyd--none of whom has ever been in the Pro Bowl.
The problem for economics is that teams like the taterskins continue to exist, and are not driven out by competitive forces. They confound our ability to model for two reasons. First, it is impossible to conceive of what foolish thing the taterskins might do next. Second, their behavior can alter the decision framework for the fully rational teams. If the taterskins are going to bid up the prices of all wide receivers, for example, then a team like the Patriots has to adjust (as they did) and load up on cheaper pass-catching tight ends.
The taterskins are not driven out of business because there is a high demand for football in Washington, and the NFL has a monopoly. A wisely run team cannot enter Washington and compete for taterskins fans.
Results like Massey's and Thaler's have revealed unusual irrational behavior, not just in the NFL but throughout the economy. Why? Because many firms exist in areas that are walled off from competition by regulation, by patents, or by their own large scale. Since the entire economy is just the sum of such pieces, its ebbs and flows will, as Newton long ago concluded, forever be a mystery.
Economics will always be helpful at identifying the answers to narrow questions, like how firms on average respond to a change in tax policy. But, as for a unified theory of everything...better forget it.

What a bunch of BS. Everybody know the man-god genius coaching angel Joe Gibbs and Sir Danny Snyder Esquire III are going against the grain becuase that is what will make you stand out in this league.
This article was probably written by some pencil necked accounting major who has no knowledge of football whatsoever. Sure you can load up on draft picks and maybe get lucky with a player or two who works out. But why not get a player with that draft pick that you know is good.
Instead of rolling the dice, Dan snyder got a known talent in TJ duckett. He got adam achuletta, a stud. Sure they cost a little more, but you know they are good from their track record.

Not me. The way I see it a Giants win will:
1) By virtually putting them in the playoffs (there IS a scenario where the Giants can win and not make it), it increases the chances that Coughlin will keep his job one more year, which will give us more to point and laugh at.
2) The extra loss will give Danny boy extra motivation to go on yet another spending spree which will give us more to point and laugh at.
I see it as a win-win game for us. I only hope that the loss happens in as painful a way as possible to the losing team.
If Washington loses and Tampa Bay beats Seattle, the taterskins will get the #5 pick in the draft (assuming Arizona loses at San Diego)....
I'd rather the Skins get a high draft pick. It'll be that much funnier when they trade it away for DJ Hackett and proceed to sign him for 5 years and $32 million.

They're irrelevant by Thanksgiving again, and somehow there hasn't been steam coming out of Joe Gibbs' ears. I covered Gibbs in the '80s, the glory '80s, when losses were like death, when he micromanaged, when he used to bring in his struggling players and offer them a bible. One year, the punt team couldn't cover a kick, so he hired a second special teams coach. One year, a player anonymously ripped his methods in the press, so he called a team meeting and ordered the mystery player to raise his hand. Nobody did. He might've been cut.
That's ancient history now, because Joe Gibbs is 3-7 and, by all accounts, a grandfather figure at taterskin Park. You ask players what they think of him, and they say, "Good dude." If Joe Gibbs was 3-7 in 1987, nobody would've been saying "Good dude" -- they'd have been cursing him for the three-hour practices. Joe, the first time around, would've fixed this by now, but instead he appears to be a burned out coach again, who is allowing his defensive coaching staff to run amok.
For whatever reason, this stubborn, controlling, innovative Hall of Fame coach has chosen to be more of an observer this season, to be a CEO, to let his millionaire coordinators earn their keep. That's why the team doesn't have his smashmouth mentality anymore, his fingerprints. I asked an Indianapolis Colts defender what he thought of Al Saunders' taterskins offense, and he said, "Gimmicky." I asked a taterskins player what he thought of defensive guru Gregg Williams, and he said, "Arrogant. Thinks he invented the wheel."
It is a fractured team that, frankly, needs the old Gibbs to intervene. A year ago, when the team was 5-6, he held player meetings, got the pulse of the locker room and rode Clinton Portis and a stout defense to the second round of the playoffs. It was vintage Gibbs; he personally willed them to January. But now, on Thanksgiving weekend of '06, it's apparent last year taxed him way too much. He doesn't call plays anymore. He may or may not have the pulse of the locker room anymore. And he may or may not be fuming about it anymore.
So that's where we are, trying to understand why the Washington taterskins are the biggest flop, the biggest turkey of the season. You originally could've argued for Miami, or Tampa Bay or Pittsburgh, but not any longer. Miami's gotten hot behind Joey Harrington, and Tampa Bay lost its starting quarterback early, and Pittsburgh's suffering through a predictable post-Super Bowl malaise.
So, no doubt, that leaves the taterskins. Forbes Magazine keeps saying they are the most valuable NFL franchise, the Yankees of football. Their offensive and defensive coordinators earn approximately $5 million a year combined, their budget is the moon, and owner Dan Snyder's jet -- taterskin One -- is probably already fueling up to greet Nate Clements and Dwight Freeney on the first day of 2007 free agency.
They are money-driven, but not always money-wise, and the decisions to throw cash at every problem, or free agent, or coach, has created ego and narcissism. It's not necessarily Gibbs' fault, because he didn't draw it up this way or imagine it happening, but the almighty dollar has created too many power trips at taterskin Park, or as one taterskins player said, "Too many chiefs and not enough indians." Naturally, heads, or chiefs, may roll this coming offseason, including Williams' and some of Williams' staff. But that's getting ahead of ourselves, ahead of how this all came about.
To simplify matters, and to understand this year's 3-7 record, you have to go back to Gibbs' first comeback year of 2004. On offense, he put his old band together, bringing back coaches Don Breaux, Joe Bugel and Rennie Simmons, all good, loyal, stand-up guys who played huge roles in the Super Bowl years. They were all affable workaholics, and humble, too, but when they returned for Gibbs' second stint, they appeared bumbling and overmatched, stuck in 1983. And from what I'm told, no one felt that more than the defensive coordinator, Gregg Williams.
Williams told people that the offense was almost "high school" that first year. Gibbs, Breaux and Bugel were practically holding caucuses before every play call, continually wasting timeouts, and the defense was forced all year to carry the team. And in all fairness, Williams' group was spectacular. He used about three basic defenses and coverages, blitzed from all angles and asked his players to fly to the ball and play uninhibited. They were the No. 3 defense in the NFL, and a young middle linebacker named Antonio Pierce, an undrafted free agent from Arizona, was the absolute key to the unit. An injury to Michael Barrow forced Williams to move Pierce inside, where he'd never played before, but Pierce was smart, got people lined up, played sideline to sideline and was particularly fierce against the run. It was a pleasant surprise, and with the ball-hawking rookie safety Sean Taylor free to roam the field behind him, it was a physical, championship-type defense.
Williams, who'd been fired the previous year as the Bills' head coach, had a ton of adulation tossed his way, and his swagger at taterskin Park was unmatched. He liked to tell people that he'd only agreed to take the job if Snyder "didn't stick his nose" into personnel matters, and Snyder -- who wanted to win in the worst way -- had agreed. That gave Williams a feeling of invincibility, and considering the egg that the offense laid that year in comparison, he probably deserved to feel that way.
But it was a blind confidence, and when Pierce became a free agent after the 2004 season, and talks began to stall, Williams, according to taterskins sources, claimed Pierce was "replaceable." It was the first hint of arrogance under the new Gibbs regime, a sense that Williams felt it was his system, not the players, that dominated offenses. Cornerback Fred Smoot was also a free agent at the time, and again, Williams felt Smoot was expendable, even though losing a starting linebacker and a starting corner would necessitate an extensive defensive overhaul.
Of course, that made a mess of the draft. Instead of selecting the pass rusher they needed -- Shawne Merriman or Demarcus Ware -- they had to waste their first-round pick on replacing Smoot, and took a shot at Auburn cornerback Carlos Rogers. All their other picks basically went to Denver in a trade to get Auburn quarterback Jason Campbell, and so they had to replace Pierce from within. That meant Lemar Marshall, a career outside linebacker and converted DB, had to move inside for 2005, which was an outright risk.
But actually, again, Williams overachieved. Marshall played the pass better than Pierce did, although Williams did have to scheme more to stop the occasional bleeding on defense. He went often to Cover 2 defenses, meaning his safeties would play deeper, and his front seven would have to stop the run themselves. In other words, no "eight men in the box" to stop the run. But Tatum Bell and Tiki Barber exposed that run defense early, and the safeties were told they had to step up and stop the run from Cover 2, until the front seven got their act together. The insertion of LaVar Arrington into the run defense (for Warrick Holdman) helped get that solidified, although Arrington was again a clear victim of Williams' ego. Arrington was the highest-paid defender, and prone to freelancing -- he acted like he was bigger than the team -- and Williams was there to humble him. He made him a scapegoat, and wouldn't even talk to him at times, but once Arrington finally shut his mouth and acquiesced, he got to play. Was he an impact player anymore? No. But he helped stop the run, allowing them to play the Cover 2, and the defense went on a late-season tear to help get hobbling quarterback Mark Brunell to the playoffs.
Continued:
QuoteThe Skins finished as the No. 9 defense in the league, and Williams was naturally an absolute god in the minds of fans, and to some degree, Gibbs and Snyder. It's likely he would've been a front-runner for the Rams', Vikings' and Texans' head coaching jobs, but the taterskins tied him up with a ridiculous three-year contract worth a reported $8 million and a promise that if he didn't replace Gibbs as head coach, he'd earn another cool million. Well, that was power, and when it came time to recruit prospective free agents, Williams was heard bragging that he made more money than the head coaches he was recruiting against, that he carried more lumber than some head coaches in the league. Whether it was true or not, he believed it, and the players believed it, and that's how this all started heading downhill.
The first thing Williams did was wave goodbye to Arrington after the 2005 season, and deservedly so, because Arrington wasn't worth his contract or his griping. But Arrington was still, other than Taylor, the taterskins' most physical player, and he'd been disrespected by Williams publicly. And that's what didn't sit well with the teammates Arrington had left behind. Some players said they felt Williams never took the blame around taterskin Park, just passed it on, and now that he'd just received this jumbo pay hike, he was going to be even more incorrigible. The players felt it. They saw him jettison another cover corner, Walt Harris, who's intercepting passes now in San Francisco, and steady Ryan Clark, who has Troy Polamalu's back in Pittsburgh now, and veteran safety Omar Stoutmire, who's starting in New Orleans. They saw a revolving door. Again.
So that takes us to now, takes us to a Gregg Williams defense that is ranked last -- last! -- in the NFC. Opposing quarterbacks have a collective 103 passer rating against them, and on third downs, the taterskins give up a first down 43.5 percent of the time. They can't get off the field, and now it's the offensive coaches who have to be wondering if Williams is "high school."
The problem, according to a notable taterskins player, is a scheme, a staff and a play-calling regimen that is flawed and predictable, and a sense that Williams is on too much of a power trip to adjust.
"Why are we the 30th defense in the league? I think coaches got arrogant, I think Gregg got arrogant," the player said Tuesday, asking not to be identified. "They thought they figured it all out. They thought, 'We can win with scheme, we don't need players.' Don't be mistaken, this is a player-driven game, and so you need players. Any time in life when somebody thinks they've got it all figured out, it's going to come and get you. It's going to come and get you ... the sentiment is a lot of guys are mad because the coaches think it's all about them. They think they're f------ geniuses, thinking they can just let guys go and get away with handling people badly."
To be specific, taterskins defenders, particularly in the secondary, have regressed, Taylor being the main culprit. Out of the University of Miami, Taylor was arguably the most-talented cover safety to enter the league in years. His first preseason game, he intercepted two passes, returning one for a score. But he's been tinkered with so much now, taterskins players say he no longer plays on instinct.
A lot of Taylor's woes can be traced a lot to the hiring of Steve Jackson as taterskins safety coach. Jackson came with Williams from Buffalo, where he was a lower-level defensive coach, and Jackson supposedly was hurt when Williams chose DeWayne Walker as his main secondary coach in 2003 and 2004. He wanted the job himself, and when Walker left after the 2005 season, he assumed he'd get it. But Williams' old defensive coordinator in Buffalo, Jerry Gray, had just become available, and Williams hired him. Jackson was ticked.
So Williams threw him a bone, a bone which has literally torn up the secondary. He made Jackson safeties coach and Gray cornerbacks coach and allowed Jackson to run his own meetings. That means that the taterskins' safeties and corners do not meet together, which is practically unheard of.
"Talk to any coach in the league, and ask them, 'Have you ever heard of corners and safeties not meeting together?'" the taterskins player says. "They'd say, 'What are you talking about?' That's crazy. But ever since minicamps, OTAs, training camp, we hadn't met as a secondary. On the field, the corners will start making a call or doing something, and the safeties will be, 'What are you talking about? We didn't go over that.' So now the corners are expecting help in certain situations, and the safeties aren't getting there in time. And people got beat in the secondary.
"Everybody was saying they had to start meeting together. So the last three weeks they have. But 40 percent of the time Steven Jackson's not in the meeting. Because he pouts, because Jerry's running the meeting."
On the field, Jackson's (and presumably Williams') techniques aren't working, either. The innovators of Cover 2, such as Monte Kiffin and Tony Dungy, want their safeties staying deep, 2 yards inside the numbers and staying squared up. They want them reading the quarterback and breaking downhill on everything.
But Jackson began teaching Taylor and Co. not to read the quarterback, but to read the receivers' breaks and releases and react accordingly. He wanted them to be aggressive out of Cover 2, to help on the run, even though Cover 2 is not known to be a run-stopping defense. Williams wants to call it a lot because, ideally, if you can stop the run with a Cover 2, you have the best of both worlds, because it's specifically designed to prevent the deep ball. But Jackson kept exhorting Taylor and his early-season safety mate, Adam Archuleta, to be aggressive playing the run out of the Cover 2, and they began to get beat on the play-action pass repeatedly.
According to the taterskins player, Jackson then began berating his players profanely -- although he tends to go lighter on Taylor -- and they reached bottom in Philadelphia, when Donte' Stallworth beat Taylor deep for an 84-yard touchdown. Witnesses say that at that point, the other defensive coaches became officially peeved at Jackson for making Taylor "play like a robot," and for turning him into a confused, regressing player who now tunes out coaches and teammates.
"And then Steve Jackson began pouting at practice," the player said. "He pouts at practice. He'll stand by himself and won't coach anybody. This last game in Tampa, we had a player at halftime go up to him and say, 'Are you going to just sit there and pout, or are you gonna f------ coach your guys up?'"
Williams, in the meantime, has not backed off of calling the Cover 2, perhaps out of stubbornness. And the rest of the league has clearly caught on.
"Guys are saying teams have figured Gregg out, his M.O.," the taterskins defender said. "They know he's going to play the run with Cover 2. They know he's going to come and blitz [leaving corners on an island] on third down, and none of our blitzes are getting there anymore. We're trying to get too cute, we're trying to reinvent the wheel, instead of understanding what wins football games.
"Gregg Williams, I don't understand. They're so arrogant around here, they think they can stop the run in Cover 2. When it's an obvious running down, he calls Cover 2. That's a seven-man front. They're going to get 4 yards a carry every time. There might be some games where, hey, we're playing the crap out of the run in Cover 2. Well, that's great. Then, you call it. But when you're getting gashed Cover 2, Cover 2, and they come out in two tight ends, two running backs, and one wide receiver and we're in Cover 2. ... And if we don't call Cover 2, we blitz. And you live by the blitz, you die by the blitz."
There have been myriad scapegoats, too, all players that Williams asked for. Scapegoat No. 1: Andre Carter. He was brought in to rush the passer, but players say Williams calls so many run stunts, he's not being allowed to do what he does best: speed rush.
"Last year, the D-line started playing well when they straight started rushing the passer," the player said. "They could beat guys one on one and get in a rhythm and tee off. Now, we're trying to get too exotic, so we've got Cornelius Griffin doing exotic stuff, who doesn't rush on third down anymore basically. ... All these stunts and games? The D-linemen are just saying, man, just let us go, just let us go."
Scapegoat No. 2: Archuleta. Bears coach Lovie Smith, Archuleta's former coordinator and mentor in St. Louis, badly wanted him in Chicago, and Archuleta preferred Smith, too. But the taterskins offered the richest deal ever for a safety, and Archuleta accepted it -- according to his agent Gary Wichard -- because Williams promised him he'd blitz him more than Smith, that he'd keep him in the box. Instead, Archuleta's blitzed only a handful of times, and has been benched for Troy Vincent and now Vernon Fox.
Wichard says that Jackson and Williams haven't spoken to Archuleta since the taterskins' bye four weeks ago, and that rookie Reed Doughty, who's been mostly inactive this year, is getting reps ahead of him in practice this week. That means Archuleta, who signed for a $10 million bonus last spring, is on the scout team, which baffles plenty of NFL executives.
And finally:
Quote
Scapegoat No. 3: Rogers. He's the cornerback that was left on an island on the go-ahead touchdown Sunday against Tampa Bay's Joey Galloway. Williams blitzed and missed, costing the team the score. Afterward, Williams took public blame for the call, a rarity, but a taterskins player said, "No, he didn't. In meetings, Carlos still heard about it."
So what you have, according to one taterskins player, is a fractured defense that isn't playing passionately for Williams anymore. After making examples of Pierce, Smoot, Arrington, Harris, Clark, Stoutmire -- and now Carter, Archuleta and Rogers -- the morale appears beyond repair.
"I think guys are fed up, man," the taterskins player said. "This is what I heard. Guys are talking. They're saying that's why Gregg started losing the team in Buffalo. Because guys got sick of it, sick of getting disrespected. There's a difference between being hard and coaching and disrespecting people all the time and calling people out. He started calling three or four guys out in the team meeting the Saturday night before the Philadelphia game. Just calling certain guys out for certain behavior and this and that. We're talking about 12 hours before the game, and you're calling different guys out for stuff? On- and off-the-field stuff? Just talking mess, going through your rant or whatever. Man, look, guys are getting fed up. And they're saying, a lot of guys in Buffalo, his last year in Buffalo, a lot of guys started popping back to him, popping off to him. Because you can't be a Buddy Ryan anymore in this league. You can't do it.
"And Gregg Williams says all the time, it's not my money. If Gregg was the one writing the checks, I don't know if he'd handle it that way. But he says it in meetings. He gives us speeches about, 'If you don't know what to do, you're going to be standing next to me on the sideline, I don't give a f---. That's where you're going to be. I need to be able to trust you. Hey, it's not my money. I don't care how much you make, I don't care who you are, I'm not the one writing the check, you need to know your assignments, know what to do.' That's what Gregg says. I wonder how Snyder would feel if he heard that one."
Snyder, according to sources, knows all about this, and, there is a sense the front office will push to replace Jackson and perhaps even Williams next season. At the same time, Williams still has supporters in the organization, too. They say the players ripping him have axes to grind, that Williams isn't the one whiffing on tackles and botching coverages. They say it's horrendous that one angry, anonymous player won't go on the record with his complaints, and they point out Williams hasn't played with a full roster all season. For instance, Williams has had to operate much of the year without a healthy Shawn Springs, his best corner, and without safety Pierson Prioleau, who was going to start for Archuleta on opening night until he tore his ACL on the opening kickoff. It doesn't help, either, that linebackers Marshall and Holdman aren't tackling well (Marshall's coming off of shoulder surgery), and there are some defensive players who aren't afraid to point the finger at themselves.
"You can't argue with Gregg Williams because we were No. 3 and No. 9 [in total defense] in previous years, so you can't argue that he's not a good coach," defensive end Phillip Daniels told the Washington Post last week. "The thing for us to do as players is we've got to look at ourselves in the morning to say, 'What can I do to help this team?' Whether it means studying more or anything little, technique and stuff like that, we've got to do it all right for it to work. And right now I don't think all the guys are doing all their technique and studying as hard as they need to study."
The question has been whether the CEO, Gibbs, will address this, and, apparently, he has decided to become more hands-on again. He has been preoccupied with the offense, concerned that Saunders isn't pounding the ball enough, frustrated by injuries to Portis and receiver Santana Moss and resigned to the fact that strapping Jason Campbell is his future at quarterback. But on Wednesday, he couldn't ignore the team's general malaise any longer. In his regular team meeting, he essentially stomped his feet for the first time since last season, told his players they aren't playing physical enough, that it's time to play more smash-mouth, that everybody would be evaluated from here on out. Whether he was talking about the coaches, too, who knows? Whether he will start from scratch defensively next season, who knows? But with Williams obviously unable to stir the passions of the defense, Gibbs had little choice but to butt in.
Of course, whether the problems are solved won't be clear until late December. But if they collapse again, what will the Hall of Fame coach do next? Call another meeting and ask the angry, dissenting players to raise their hands? That would be so 1980s of him. That would be a start.
5-11.

QuoteDefense certainly needs some help and improving, but the 'Skins should have a last place schedule, the Giants will have lost Tiki (hopefully -good player, good guy..but please leave so we can win more games), the Cowboys aren't as good as their record this year and are average at best, and the Eagles...well they're the Eagles so they'll probably play well and then fall apart somewhere where it matters most.
Do I smell superbowl? With one or two big name signings, I say yes. And they certainly have a high enough first round pick to leverage it!

Yeah, they certainly have against the taterskins lately. What's it up to now... 8 out of the last 10?

I'm so escareded of Jason Campbell. Did you see him pick apart that Giants defense? Might as well cancel next season, the Skins are winning it all.

One guy on ES waved the bullshtein flag, but most of them can face facts and realize their organization is a joke. That is, of course, only because they went 5-11. Once they sign some 4 time pro bowl tight end to a $50 mil contract, everyone will be back on the superbowl express.
Gibbs said in his press conference that he felt they had 'great players who care' and crap like that.
I do think that what ever happens, they'll be better off with Cambell rather than Burnell, and a healthy Portis. What they really need though, is a new owner and coach.
I think they're better off with Betts than Portis, actually.
They should trade Portis for a draft pick, not that they ever roll that way.

I agree, if I had to choose I'd rather have Betts.
This made me laugh:
QuoteThe Broncos enjoyed doing business with the taterskins; they had worked blockbuster trades with them each of the previous two seasons.
I bet Darrent Williams wishes he'd been traded to Washington.
Wow, that was low, even for me.
Quote"I think obviously there are lots of things we can learn from this year," Gibbs said. "When we get to the offseason I've got a lot of things on my mind. When you get in a situation like that a lot of things have been unproductive. What you're doing is you've got to be a good student and learn from it, but I like our process."
Senility's a bitch.
100% sure the skins win the offseason

It's not about yards. When we get a two-yard run up the middle, we applaud, because we know we've taken something out of that defense, and we'll keep taking it until we've beaten them down."

QuoteCould EXTREMESKINS help our 2007 taterskins with some decisions this offseason?
It is obvious how much coach Gibbs cares about and respects taterskins fans. It is also obvious that both players and coaches frequent EXTREMESKINS.
The thing is, is that our threads on some of the same subject matters tend to be all over the place with regards to opinions and it's kind of hard to really get a good idea as to what fans would really like done. Sujects like how to handle the Portis, Betts situation, what to do with the sixth pick, McIntosh, Archuleta...etc.
What I was wondering was, maybe if the mods created organized polls on some of these subject matters, everyone (including taterskins players and staff) could get a better, overall consensus on how the fans feel about important team matters. I'm not saying that we would magically get things done OUR WAY by doing something like this. I was just thinking of ways to maybe help influence the decision makers a little bit.

I found this post by our little buddy, The Mayor, over on the DTC boards. It was posted a few days before the Giants game. The post itself isn't very funny, though when you consider it's from that pasty, little, gangsta-poser, it's pretty ironic. It's like him posting Creme Brulee recipes or tips on how to use a "Bedazzler" to personalize your taterskins jersey.
QuoteWell, its going to rain on Saturday for sure, what times, I don't know, When you have a rain game, proper gear is a must. Been to a few rainers, so im going to give some suggestions.
Boots it all starts with the footwear, waterproof boots are a must. I hope this is self explanitory. Jeans, (2 pair), one for the tailgate, one for the game. An extra shirt and/or jersey isnt a bad idea either. A rainjacket is recomended, (I wear my jersey over a yellow waterproof jacket), remember, it will be chilly. Remember, your seat in the stadium will be wet, so take a towel or something to wipe it down before you sit down. If you can create a rainproof barrier around your body, you can enjoy the game with no worries.
Trust me, I'm The Mayor for a reason.

It is obvious how much coach Gibbs cares about and respects taterskins fans. It is also obvious that both players and coaches frequent EXTREMESKINS.
The thing is, is that our threads on some of the same subject matters tend to be all over the place with regards to opinions and it's kind of hard to really get a good idea as to what fans would really like done. Sujects like how to handle the Portis, Betts situation, what to do with the sixth pick, McIntosh, Archuleta...etc.
What I was wondering was, maybe if the mods created organized polls on some of these subject matters, everyone (including taterskins players and staff) could get a better, overall consensus on how the fans feel about important team matters. I'm not saying that we would magically get things done OUR WAY by doing something like this. I was just thinking of ways to maybe help influence the decision makers a little bit.
Thoughts?
If baby Jesus is real, he will let this happen for me. He will let the braintrust of ES have input into free agent signings and their draft pick.
Best. Thread. Ever.
Except for last year. And probably next year. Yay to having the most hilarously delusional team in the NFL in our division.
