Nnamdi Asomugha is Available, Make the Play Texans!!!

McClain has a HOF vote. How do I know that? Because he mentions it 5 times in every interview I've ever heard him on.

EDIT: Did I mention that McClain has a HOF vote?

 

I agree, and I'm a Kubes/Smith supporter. If Aso is traded to another team 2morrow I'm done with this crew.

I can understand passing on Haynesworth...not Aso though.

 

Did you know John McClain was The Longest Yard?

 

Yep street free agents have been doing a bang up job for us kubes, might as well go to that fountain of success one more time...

/rolleyes

 

This probably could be a smokescreen. I never believe what a coach and/or what the front office has to say about trades during the deadline. The Kevin Martin and New York deals to the Rockets are perfect examples of this. While they are different sports, the politics are about the same.

 

Here is Chris Johnson of the Oakland Raiders twitter. It's funny he is asking Adam Schefter who the Raiders are looking to trade. Probably hoping he gets the hell out of there.

I'd rather have Aso, as he is just now entering his prime, plus we'd be guaranteed to have him longer term. Yeah, the contract is kinda big, but Aso brings in some leadership (for Kareem and Quin) and a lot of respect from opposing QBs. I think he could be had for a 1st this year and 2nd next year. Then, maybe Albert Haynesworth. Would the Redskins take that trade for a 4th round pick this year and Slaton? Plus, the Redskins have already paid the hefty part of Haynesworth's contract.

 

I was listening to the presser, jaw dropped with the conviction Kubiak said that they weren't going after any veteren corners. He also went out of they way to say Q and Jackson did some good things in the Cheifs game.

 

Nnamdi is still a very good player but I wouldn't say he is just entering his prime. He has been good since 2006.

 

Kubiak seemed upbeat, happier than normal imo at this PC

Anyhow,

Plans at MLB?

Well..it will be a process. DeMeco is gone, we know that. Zac would be first guy if we played today. Biggest concern is the other 3 guys and their availability. If they are healthy, moving and mixing would be easy but they arent ready. Exploring everything. Me and Rick are talking, looking. More issues behind/than just DeMeco though

Obviously in the past, you talk about not having or wanting to move Zac, is Bentley an option?

Kevin and Darryl are an option but they arent on the field either.

Is the trade deadline an option?

Part of the conversation. Have to look at everything to make us better.

Are you and Rick anti-trading draft picks?

I cant speak for Rick. Both of us together do everything to make this team better. We explore everything. Health of the other guys is a concern.

Bringing in anyone?

We'll work some guys out. No list right now. Compiling all avenues.

What happens first, pass rush and secondary or hair on my head?

We need to get better across the board on D. Were some people who did good things. Cody and Wilson did good things but gotta get better as a group. We're in evaluation process right now. Trying to see if any changes can make us better.

How does a guy know that Vrabel coming into the game and leaves him open?

We busted coverage. Wasnt one guy.

You said, if everyone healthy, it would be easy.

Would be easy to move into a direction.

Would it be Bentley?

He's an option.

What kind of surgery did Bentley have?

Knee scoped.

How did Butler play and what to expect from Brown?

Played for a month. Helped himself as a pro. Can always do better. We didnt have to gameplan to help him. Proud of the job he did. Helped his career. Good to have Duane back. He'll go back to his spot.

Run D has gotten worse. Why?

We knew this would be the best team we faced running the ball. They can create formation problems. In disarray in 2nd half after losing DeMeco and what not. We got it handed to us. We gotta get better across the board.

Still happy with guys you have in secondary?

We continue to improve with guys outside in KJ/GQ. We're going with those guys. Not complete but going with them. Not chasing any vet guys. The guys we got gotta improve.

Does Ward remind you of anyone in Denver?

I dont know who but he is a nice addition. He has big plays and explosive runs. Very impressive. We need to play him more to keep Arian fresh

What happened to Cush?

Played hard. We didnt play well at LB position as a group. When we lost DeMeco, Zac was trying to run the D. Got in disarray. Cush became part of that, not having his buddy.

You given us material in time management, you bled the clock down yesterday.

I like to take credit for that but we were trying to score. Not giving them the ball back was a concern but it worked out.

Outscored 92-47 in 1st half, anything to fix slow starts?

No. Got down vs Giants, and Washington not better. No real answer. We just gotta start fast. It's a point of emphasis. We came out of lockerroom better in 2nd half but penalties hurt us. We'll try to improve.

When Matt under pressure, he throws the best. Is that accurate?

He gets into rythym. We protected good yesterday, which helped. They came after us in RZ. 8 incompletions I believe. Of 8, 5 times threw it away. Very accurate.

If one of your 3 LBs went down yesterday, what did you have in place?

Play nickel, play 2 LBs. I couldnt go out there.

Talk about Rackers tackling?

He was ST player of the game. 3 big tackles. He's willing to do that.

Does that amaze you?

No, just the way it is. I dont really like it but liked it yesterday.

He gets hurt, who is the kicker?

Good question. Probably Matt. I've seen Owen kick.

Was McManis ok?

Should be back the following week. This week, we'll need to try and get healthy. Big group of guys who wont see field this week.

Manning and Rivers after bye back to back, have you thought about that?

I have. We better get better in a hurry. It's gonna get tougher.

Did Anderson show you anything?

Only played 5-6 plays. 'Wale did ok but had a penalty. Earl played, tweaked his ankle.

Which LBs are expected back?

They keep telling me they're all expected back. We'll see.

We talk about all the problems, though you are 4-2/in 1st place. Think about that?

Thats a good thing. Real good thing. Was talking to Bob and ended saying how it was a good win. We gotta feel fortunate and get healthy. We'll get Duane back. Overcome the loss now of DeMeco.

Biggest disappointment so far the secondary/defense?

It's the inconsistency. Too many mistakes. Too much confusion on things we're doing. Now we got personnel issues. We got our guys and gotta make it work.

What do you feel best about?

Heart of the football team.

Across the board, D said it wasnt scheme, coaching, etc. They said it was missed tackles. Why?

That's the puzzling thing for us. We have the same guys besides Kareem. We regressed in some areas. We're addressing it. We watch and talked about it as a team. We gotta do it better. We all have to solve it.

What explains decision to stay put at CB?

Best guys to go with.

 

LOL!

Well he can come here too, I sure don't mind.

 

I think the Redskins would do Slaton and a 4th for Haynesworth.

Leaves Aso for some of the following: picks, and we have depth at WR and TE. A first and Jacoby would do it but I would rather give them Walter or Dreessen.

1st and 4th rd picks, Jacoby and Slaton for Haynseworth and Awesomo.

Worth it?

 

Anyone notice what team Jackson is playing against in his profile picture?

The Texans.

Interesting.
