I'm not surprised at all that Danny Boy went out and spent more on two players in an hour than what the salary cap is supposed to be this year.  Without Joe Gibbs at the helm telling Danny Boy that he can't go out and get every big name there is out there, he went out and got every big name there was out there.  With the exception of Slippery Hands Mcgee (Terrell Owens), we got the biggest names out there.

    De'angelo Hall is a great player, could be one of the best in the league.  I think we overpaid for him but, he's a local guy who loves this team, and wants to be here.  54 million dollars is a lot of money to give a guy who got cut from Oakland.  Thats worse than giving an offensive lineman 30 million who got cut from Buffalo, which we also did.  Thank god we didn't give 50 million or whatever to a certain wide receiver who got cut from Dallas.  Oakland is supposed to be the wasteland that players go to when they are at the end of their career and want to get paid.  I thought we were past the 100 million dollar team of 2000.  Remember?  Jeff George, Mark Carrier, Bruce Smith, Prime Time Moron, etc.  I guess not.  Hall has a knack for intercepting the ball, he's a hawk and he flocks towards it.  We need that since our other "top" corner couldn't catch a cold in Seattle.  Carlos Rogers had more drops than Braylon Edwards (not really, just making a point).

Ok, well here we go again.  Like the pre-Gibbs years, we barely have enough draft picks to satisfy more than one position.  We have 4 total picks, 4!!  If i'm not mistaken there are 7 rounds, and everybody gets 2 in the 7th round.  We have 4, thanks in large part to our "Director" Vinny Cerrato.  We threw a 2nd round pick this year and a 6th rounder next year to miami for Jason Taylor.  Wow, another brilliant move by the freakin skins.  What did he play like 3 games?   Had a career low in sacks, forced fumbles, etc.  Now he has been released because he didn't feel like practicing.  " I'm 100 percent positive he'll play longer than one year"-Vinny Cerrato.  Genius, thanks Vin Dieseldorf.  A 2nd round pick is very valuable, especially a high 2nd rounder.  Lets see who a couple of players were as 2nd rounders.

    Ok, I touched on the draft and free agency.  Now its time to talk about the big rumor floating around the league.  Jay Cutler is unhappy in Denver because his new coach tried to get another quarterback for the team.  Although I don't agree with the way Josh Mcdaniels handled the situation, he is entitled to try and improve his team as he sees fit.  I don't think Matt Cassel is anywhere near as good a quarterback as Cutler is, but its his team.

    Jay Cutler passed for over 4500 yards, 25 touchdowns, and a 62 percent completion percentage.  Matt Cassel passed for 3600 yards, 21 touchdowns, and did have a better completion percentage and rating.  His team was 10 times better though, on every side of the ball.  Tyler Thigpen would have had the same year in New England if he had that team.  Mcdaniels just wanted his guy there with him.  Its understandable, he trusts him, knows him, and believes in him.  It didn't work out, now he needs to repair his relationship with one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

    Ah, the preseason, the time of year that aspiring undrafted and late-round rookies hope to make a team.  How often does this happen?  More NOT often than not, undrafted rookies have a smaller chance at making the team than Dan Snyder does at having the economy problem affect him.  Yes I know, Stephon Heyer made the team as an undrafted rookie from Maryland.  He was the only Redskins exception in who knows how many years.  Haha, yea I know I'm a freakin blogger and I should know when right? WRONG!  My job is not to throw numbers out there, its to write what I think, and what I gather talking to the real fan on the streets. 

    Tony Kornheiser, Michael Wilbon, Mike Wise, Jason La Conforna, blah blah blah.  These guys are bigtime, they have been disconnected from the real fans for so long they are thinking hollywood.  By that I mean that they are not speaking for the true redskins fan, because they haven't talked to one in a long time.  They are writing and talking for the sake of writing, talking, and cha ching!  I'm out there everyday talking to Joe the Redskins fan, and gathering all the info I can and going on here at night and blah blah blogging about it.
