OT: New Owner! New Name? New Season? New Everything!!! — Oh, and New Thread. All things Washington NFL FootBall (beat it, Dan-Bag!!)

[John Price]

Interesting note that Keim said is that he didn't see Brissett going especially to Cleveland. This was before the spate of QB injuries though on Sunday. He said Brissett was signed to mentor Sam Howell and having him dealt would not be good at all for Sam

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

Washington needs to follow suit. Zero faith Rivera will do the right thing but I'm hoping to be wrong.

 

[Beef Invictus]

They ran the ball 16 times against 52 pass plays.

This is an example of the offense not being complimentary to a not good defense.


If EB sticks around Robinson is not a good fit for EBs offense. Robinson needs a head start, power run. Running out of the shotgun is not his thing. Besides he is a RB. Dime a dozen. If they can get a 3rd for him snatch that shit up.

The dime a dozen thing is really it. There's just so much RB talent laying around. You always have guys like Ekeler getting scrounged up from somewhere. A halfway competent GM can find an RB and a halfway competent coach can make them useful. If someone is willing to pay for an RB right now, hell yeah. Sell him.

Unfortunately I doubt Rivera will be kicking off a rebuild. That screams "I failed."

Another 2nd overall pick that needs his Daddy’s help.

79.5 Million in expected cap next year for us .... thats without cutting anyone or extending etc

O line revamp might have to wait a year w dead cap on Leno (8M), Wylie (7m) and Gates (5M).

Zero interest in trading Sweat for a mid 2nd or 3rd.

1st? Yes.

Thanks for looking that up, I haven’t cared enough to figure out their cap space after the recent deals to 94, 93, and 17.

If we keep Sam as the starter, he’s dirt cheap. So, I think we can afford both Sweat and Young. They would probably franchise one of them. If you lose one to FA you’ll get ~ 3rd rounder compensatory anyways.

I was really impressed with Sam yesterday. Better play calling to protect him, and he got the ball out quicker. If he was a 1st round pick, I think he’d get more praise. I mean, look at the struggles of Jordan Love, Zach Wilson, Trey Who? etc… Comparatively, Sam has acquitted himself really well for a guy playing his first 9 games.

As somebody who has been watching both, Howell has to rate over Love right now. His accuracy alone is less of an issue, and both aren't getting great play calls so that's a bit of a wash. The only thing I'd say in Love's favor is that his receivers keep dropping a lot of easy balls or tripping all over themselves and falling without being tackled, but overall... yeah.

They have different warts but I'd make that trade at this point as a Packers fan.

 

[John Price]

Other than the Bills game Howell has played pretty well.

Report cards for midterms

Howell B+
Offense C+, too much passing, not enough running, o line dragging them down
Defense D-

Yet JDR still has a job. As does his entire staff

Can't wait to see the not all pro players those picks turn into. NFL trades involving draft picks outside of the first round are always one sided because of the obscene value placed on picks. We should just pay the players we have that we're already sure have talent. We've got a ton of cap space next season.

 

[Block]

Massive deal? Hyperbole much?

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

 

[John Price]

if atlanta really did offer a 3rd (which goes up to 2nd if sweat is extended by falcons) how the f*** have they not done anything yet

take that deal!

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

 

[John Price]

 

[John Price]

I love Sweat here man he played well. But 1) there was no way they were keeping both him and Young and 2) the return cannot be refused. You got a high 2nd off that. I said, if ATL was offering a 3rd and 2nd should Sweat get extended take that...but this deal is EVEN better!

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Local confirmation.

2nd rounder is decent.

The team traded two 2nd round picks to Indy to get back into the 1st to select Sweat so trading him now for a 2nd isn’t great.

 

[John Price]

it's more than decent. It being the Bears it's great. Might as well be a 1st rounder with how bad the Bears are.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

That’s why you don’t jump on the first offer….thanks Bears…

NFL trade returns are rarely “great”, but this is at least satisfactory that it’s from a team who has no business trading their 2nd this year.

Sweat and his Aaron Rodgers-esque critical thinking, soon to be overpaid, game can go……he’s been good, but not irreplaceable.

He’s been a better player than Young these last 4 years. And Sweat won’t want top 4 DE money to resign.

 

[Neil Racki]

Thank you for your time and effort Montez.

Youre a good dude, good player.

Still doesn’t come close to matching what they gave up to draft Sweat. It’s a decent return.

 

[Ridley Simon]

That works. Now re-sign CY99, and spend the FA monies on OL, CB, LB.

Then draft BPA
