Random Commanders Thoughts

Welp, looks like there's upside there, and if it doesn't work out a 7th isn't the end of the world.

Much better trade than, say, a 3rd for T.J. Duckett ...

 

[McD5]

He wasn't going to clear waivers. Smart move to grab him fast for basically nothing. And he's young and cheap too.

Good depth if not a starter. Likely signals the end of the road in DC for Leribeus.

Win4Us right now:

I'd feel better about Stork signing, if we hired Gus Frerotte to our staff, as "Headbutting Consultant", since both these guys have a history of giving themselves concussions through headbutts. Or maybe Brandon Merriweather.

Few thoughts....asking him to learn our playbook in just two weeks is asking a lot. But maybe he can start within a month if not.

Great depth at worst case.

 

[McD5]

Few other thoughts:

1. His outbursts make me believe that he eats roids like chiclets. Don't believe he's been caught though.

2. He reminds me of a mixture of Scherff and Incognito. He's nasty as hell.

3. Everyone who wanted OL help should be thrilled. Now let's see if we can find another future cut on the D-line/pass rush.

My boss is a Pats fan and I IM'd him and his reaction was:

WHAT
THE
****

This is exactly what I just told my brother. They basically got him for free and guaranteed no one else could claim or sign him.

Hell... how could a conditional 7th be any worse than what we actually had at C?

Nothing wrong with a big ugly with a mean streak (as long as he avoids personal foul issues).

 

[McD5]

More drama, credible sources are reporting that Stork is seriously considering early retirement. I'm assuming due to concussions.

McLovin is trying to convince him to play.

 

[McD5]

Asked about report of Stork retiring, source says, "Possibly." So... hang tight.

What I know - Skins agreed on trade for Stork. Not a done deal now as Stork unsure about his future.

[McD5]

As for the not cut, now traded #Redskins C Bryan Stork... He's now weighing retirement, I'm told. Not definitive. But pondering. For real.

Win4Us right now:

I could see that. I could also see Reiter getting cut. LeRib actually has an advantage over Reiter, in that he can play 2 positions.
Or both of them getting cut.
A Center depth chart of Lichty, Stork, and Long, is conceivable.

@ianrapoport

In that case, the draft pick should be extreeeeemely conditional.
This might take a while to play out, if he decides to see a bunch of specialists before deciding on his retirement.

 

[McD5]

We'd keep the draft pick. No worries there.

From a larger standpoint, he's already won a national championship and a SB at the age of 25.

With 4 concussions, what's left to accomplish?

 

[McD5]

It's official. Stork to the Redskins. No retirement.

 

[McD5]

new #Redskins center graded as @PFF's 21st overall center and 7th best run blocker last season.

 

[Fear The Spear]

It's official. Stork to the Redskins. No retirement.

Wow that was a super quick decision, with life-long implications, lol.
It's as if he just made a phone call to Mom, and asked "Mom, should I retire ?"
And she said, "No son, keep playin, to earn more money for MY retirement !!"

4 concussions in 4 years is still a huge concern, obviously.
