Imagine GB's defense with Shazier. As far as I know - and no one really knows other than TT - but that was their guy in that draft.

TT thinks having extra late round picks is more important than going after difference makers...

As for the game - I'll be surprised if we win. We're simply not a very good football team. Not that the Redskins are "all that"... but I think they're better than the Packers.

Too bad Pitt had an earlier pick than we did.

It wouldn't have taken a ransom to get up in front of them... as TT always says, "... we let the board come to us". He isn't willing to move around to target players.

Besides, ILB is one of those positions that TT thinks he can fill with bartenders - at least he stuck to that position until it became so obvious that something dramatic had to be done just to field a competent player in there that they finally moved Matthews inside.

Clinton-Dix has been okay, but certainly not a difference maker.

When it comes to defense, the entire Packer organization just doesn't seem to see the field clearly... impactful players that we as armchair GM's see, TT spits on and takes what turn out to be lesser players - it happens all the time. 3 players from last year that I really liked, and played positions of need that TT spit on were McKinney, Darby, and Mauldin.

Instead of any of those 3 we end up with light tackling Randall and slug-footed Jake Ryan... and so it goes with TT. Darby is looking like a future pro-bowler, McKinney was solid and looks to have more upside than Randall, and Mauldin looked good too.

Whereas Randall tackles like a cheerleader, and Jake Ryan has a very low ceiling.

Randall has probably been one of the best defensive rookies this year. You were wrong about him. It's time to admit it.

oh good, 20 mph winds in DC today

should help a-rod with his accuracy

and i'm sure stubby is smart enough NOT to call 60 passes today in those conditions

[mraynrand]

Redskins are kind of a passing team too - and Cousins has a weaker arm. Now watch them throw for 400.

[Freak Out]

Just pound the ball with Fatty and the Plug!

Randall is what he is... good hands, good ball skills - shitty tackler, and a typical Green Bay finesse DB.

I wanted Darby, and between the two - Randall can't hold Darby's jock.

Jake Ryan?? isn't even close to either McKinney or Mauldin. He's a severely limited player.

I don't like soft, light-hitting players - and never will. I give credit where credit is due... I've liked a lot of the players Ted has drafted - I just see them as being a bad fit on the defensive side; and, on offense, I hate their philosophy wrt the OL - and always will.

[Rastak]

Sounds like Bacteria is out today.

Too bad about the loss Rastak... I was pulling for Minnesota.

We'll likely be joining you on the sidelines in about 4 hours.

Randall had more tackles than all the OLBs. Only clay and Palmer had more of all the LBs.

A rare occurrence......going into the game with no expectations and a completely neutral sense of who is going to win. So let's get the game on!
