I think he's right about who got fleeced. I also think Taylor will be their best DE/LB they have.

 

I agree with him. I was blasted on a Skins board because I said that Taylor would more than likely have a tough time against the run and making the adjustment to the left side, good to see that I'm not the only one who feels that way.

 

This is exactly what I've been saying since the rumors started. Every bit. And it's why I didn't think the move would make sense for Washington. They lost a large run defender. So why trade for a lanky pass rusher?

Prisco is right on IMO.

 

On the field, the move isn't very good for the Redskins.

From a business standpoint, its great for them. Redskins radio has been touting it as some sort of great move, the fans are buying it too.

 

There's no doubt that JT improved against the run as he got older, but he's never been considered a "run-stopping DE" by any stretch of the imagination... I wonder if it wouldn't be in their best interests to swap Carter and Taylor...Muck said it best....they got another RDE instead of the LDE that they needed...

 

i think they gave up a lot, but landing JT is still a win for them. Just because they lost a run defender doesn't mean they can't use a pass defender who perennially is at the top of the league in sacks.

a generally good deal for both sides IMO, assuming they get JT to play more than one year. :up:

 

I don't know how we were able to get a 2nd for Taylor but Jeff is looking like a genius right now.

 

Dude don't go over there. Just stay here with the family :up:

 

:lol:

You can't go into the delivery room and point out a kids imperfections to the new parents bro!

They aint gonna listen!

I remember the warnings from Bears fans to us when Hurricane Stash came hear to tear down our once proud franchise. They got blasted as well.

Besides, JT is going to do some good for them. Deliver some excitement during passing downs in between getting shoved down the field on runs.

 

According to Peter king, it was Parcells who did all the dealing.

If it was just some speculation, then fine, but King got some real specific info in there.

 

I didn't think we would get a 2nd rounder for JT considering he may retire in two years or less. Plus a 6th rounder, which sometimes works out well. :up:

 

That sort of makes up for a 6th that we gave up in the Ferguson Trade.

 

I agree, and its what Synder has done ever since he got thier, make moves that give the fan base hope with lots of big names..... Who have done little and mostly been on the downside of their career.

I am so glad I am not a skins fan.

 

Exactly, its a blackhole of hype. And the team deserves credit for their salary cap management, because they've never had issues with their salary cap. They were able to trim 29M off the cap this off season without giving up anyone.

 

Thats a great article. Nice find, couldnt agree more with it myself. I find it amusing how it seems alot of media outlets are bashing us for getting ripped off in this trade... I just dont see it. Maybe its because im a phins fan... but come on, a 2nd and a 6th for a guy who's going to play out of his natural position, for 1... maybe two years, and we get rid of a guy who was becoming a distraction? how isnt that a good deal for us? I guess maybe its a bad deal for us in the sense that all were left with is memories now... at least theyre great ones though! :up:

 

Sounds alot like the Welker for a #2 and a 6th doesn't it?


:wink2:
