Because he drafted him? Not sure what you are saying. Injury not withstanding, Cravens inconsistent behavior seems to have derailed him, no?Am I the only one who has wondered....
If SMGM had not been fired, this Cravens thing might not have become an issue??
Im just saying.
Hopefully we can trade Cravens to Pittsburgh for Bryant.

Scot was better at dealing with players and people in general than Bruce and Dan. I just get the feeling Scot would not have been blind sided by a retirement announcement two days after final roster cuts.
You must mean Anita Bryant. Cause there is no way that Pitt is giving us their Bryant for Cravens. No one is that stupid. Not even Bruce Allen. OK, that might be stretching it.Hopefully we can trade Cravens to Pittsburgh for Bryant.
You can blame Scot for Cravens being mentally unstable. No way this guys mind is right. Especially for an NFL safety. I hope we trade him ASAP.
NAh.. I blame the guy who was ultimately in charge for having no clue this was coming. The same guy who reemed Scot out for actually talking to the player in question to try and determine what was going on. Good managers talk to their people and try to head off issues like this before it cost them an employee.
Bad managers figure.. well Im paying him, so I dont care what is going on outside the job, he should suck it up or leave.
Now which type of manager do you think is currently in charge in Ashburnistan??
Just having the mindset at his age to sit out the year b/c he is coming off a concussion is not Allens fault. cmon now. Shark you want to blame Allen for everything. This is getting crazy. He sat out the year 100% healthy, that shows no commitment to our team. He wants to leave fine. Why just demand a trade last season? It would have been granted for whatever reason. Sit out a year is inexcusable. Its a total FU to his teammates and to this organization. Then he put out the bullshit that he was thinking about retirement.
Who do you really think we can get for him? Is a 3rd rounder to rich? If we can get the 3rd rounder back from losing Fuller I would be happy. As of right now the starting safeties are Nicholson and Swearinger. Another reason why the FSU safety James is a top target of mine at pick #13.
1. He stepped away because he had the head injury lingering as well as issues in his personal life from all reports. Again a good manager does periodic checks with his team to try and head stuff like this off.
2. It was the teams decision to put him on the reserve left team list. Yes it came after he made the announcement... but see comment #1. As in Bruce should have known something was up well before it got to that.
3. When did he ever demand a trade?? And even if he did, again this goes back to poor management when a second year player wants out badly enough that he is willing to retire rather than play for this team.
4. We wont get anything of worth for a player that doesnt want to be here and we apparently dont want to keep. a Conditional 7th maybe.
5. the problem with our defense isnt safety, its an in ability to stop the run or get to the QB... another safety aint going to help that.

While I like the pick of James at 13, I'm curious to know why you favor him over Ronnie Harrison out of Alabama? I just want to see if you view them both as I do. Thanks!
James has way more upside. Great size and athleticism. He could also play CB and dime LB which is huge in todays game. If he runs well at the combine he might be gone by #13. He can do more than Harrison that is why he will be picked over Harrison
OK, we agree, I did notice while reading about them...that each had some questions about their coverage abilities deep in the secondary. Any concerns there?
1. I heard he was 100% healthy at the start of the season.
2. It wasn't the team decision. He wanted to sit out to think about retirement.
3. I never said he demanded a trade I said HE SHOULD HAVE demanded a trade if he wanted out of here. not sit out a year
4. I figure we get something b/c of his age and he is 100% healthy. Plus cheap contract. That is worth more than a 7th
5. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! Biggest hole on the defense. The defense line is getting blamed but its not taking to account for the injuries of Taylor, Allen. Mcclain and Ionman for a few games. If all those guys stay healthy for 16 games the dline is an non issue. Not saying tis great but it would have been avg.
The only reason I would want VEA is b/c he is a true nose that would help us out tremendously. Adding VEA would make the dline a strength. But if we don't we are definitely not the worst in the league.
If Brown signs back the Skins have to be looking at VEA or James at #13. Assuming Nelson is gone. Do you agree?
