Burner's Burning Questions: Offseason Edition, Free Agency 2014

Where's the Beef?

Umm..on our defensive line??

Damn...how long has it been since one could say that?
 
Hatcher's 11 sacks last year were more than our entire D Line combined!! Get em, Hatch!!

Heard a stat that 8 of Hatchers 11 came against NFCE opponents.. 2 of which against Philly in the season finale.
 
Too often in the past this franchise equated big name free agency signings with instant success. Plug, play, produce was the mentality based on name recognition alone. Where we failed was often in the coaching department and scheming correctly for the big names we brought in.

It's a bit of a different feel this time around. Many signings that don't create much buzz, but guys who have shown flashes here and there that could turn into adequate finds provided they are used properly and coached and taught correctly.

Ultimately, it places more ownership and responsibility squarely on the shoulders of the coaching staff. It places a premium on teaching, something staffs have lacked for quite some time in this organization.
 
He's not that happy. Not like if we drafted LT.

That's more than Rak's entire career. :)

You're my boy, Rak!

[FONT=verdana !important]Hatcher was Pro Football Focus’ fourth-rated pass-rushing defensive tackle in 2013, behind only Gerald McCoy, Ndamukong Suh and Jurrell Casey, amassing seven quarterback hits and 33 hurries along with his 11 sacks. Moreover, when playing end in a 3-4 as he did in Dallas before 2013 and will for the Redskins over the next few years, Hatcher was able to bring just as much overall heat on enemy quarterbacks. He amassed eight hits and 29 hurries as a right defensive end in 2012, slipping inside to tackle when the Cowboys went to their nickel and dime fronts.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana !important]Though Hatcher is getting up there in years, the third-round pick in 2006 out of Grambling still has a lot of tread on his tires — he wasn’t a full-time starter until 2011, and he seems to be getting better and better.

[FONT=verdana !important]Grade: A-. Age is the only factor keeping this from an A+ grade, and there’s nothing Hatcher can do about that. No matter where you put him in a front, he dominates with his quickness, aggression and technique. And he’ll have pass-rushing monsters on either side of him in linebackers Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan, meaning that he’ll face a lot of single team blocking. The Redskins have a lot to address overall, but getting Hatcher is a very smart move.

I'm no longer using the black skin, Mike. Are my posts not showing normally? I have the site on two different browsers and they look right to me.

This D-line just got real nasty, real fast.
 
Looks good to me, Chris!

Everybody happy happy happy

Feeling even better about this regime. Hopefully Gruden is the coach Mcd5 says he is ;)

That part is the absolute least of my concerns. That's like wondering if Garçon will bring it this season.
 
Chris,

Black on black is impossible to read. Is there a way to change the text?

If not I'll just read it tomorrow from a PC.

FYI all ya gotta do is highlight the text and it'll be easily visible with a blue background. Just drag your cursor through that missing block and it'll show right up.
 
Ryan Clark appears to be back with the Skins. Expected to sign tomorrow.
 
Made a decision: when I sign I will call 25 Steelers fans to say goodbye & 25 fans of my new team to say hello!! Sound good?!

--Ryan Clark

Now that's an awesome guy, regardless of where he lands.
 
3 starters.

You don't see Sharpton starting inside with Riley?

I think the Redskins do. I doubt you will see another LB added until the draft.
