Clear Eyes, Full Heart, Can’t Lose... the ‘Optimistic/Non Poop’ Skins Thread

[skinsdad62]

I will now add Camren Curl as a legit safety and Cam Simms as a possible answer at 2.

From there I would be remiss not to add Cornelius Lucas to the stud LT list and Roullier upgraded to legitimately good.

I stand by my others.

lucas could be our LT for good

We have the following:

WR: McLauren is a legit one. (Star)
Sims is a legit slot. (Not so fast)
Wright is a possibility. (Possible)

RB: Love needs his chance when healthy. (hmmmm, maybe not)
Gibson is a legit weapon. (Star)

OL: Roullier is a decent center. (PB Center)
Moses is a decent RT. (Average)
Scherff is a very good G. (PB Guard)

DT: Allen and Payne are both good. (Both are very good)
Ion is very good. (also very good)

DE: Chase and Sweat are both very good with big upside. (Likely the best edge duo in the league, now)

CB: Fuller is AP. (Likely our best DB however, outshined by Curl and played better in KC before returning on big payday, like the 4 picks tho)

Wouldn't that solve a huge problem...

yes it would and you have charles as the swing guy . i think sweitzer should be the LG because of his play too

I haven't focused on Sweitzer who seems to be playing well since he stepped in at LG. Seems like most pressures are coming the way of Moses lately.

I'm not feeling like Sharpe is an adequate replacement should he be called upon.

Cool pic from the past... fun side story - use to run into Dexter at Tastee Diner in Bethesda a few times a year. Last time we sat side by side at the counter and chit chatted while eating breakfast. Always about the Redskins of course. Man’s HANDS are huge, and he is still a character, a gentle giant in many ways...but still hilarious when recounting Skins hey days.

As Doc calls Dexter ... "the prize bull" another of my all time favorites.

Cali, Is this Tastee Diner you are talking about on or right off Wisconsin Avenue? The reason I ask is because my favorite uncle use to live in Bethesda and when I traveled that area on business I took my uncle to a Diner at the location I described above. That was many years ago and I do not remember the name of that Diner but I do remember they had great food.

Yes! It is off of Wisconsin right before Old Georgetown Rd in Woodmont Square. And institution for any true old time Btown dweller.

I guess we live in a smaller world than I thought we lived in if we are talking about the same Diner.

Tastee is where lots of the old beat reporters(sports and regular), gamblers, old school all nighters, as well as noted Washingtonians - all rubbed elbows- and low key met to have a cuppa, food, and real ‘talk’ about sports, insider news and personal biz. It is the lone small owner biz still standing with Marriott Headquarters being built around it, as they refused to sell...

All that might change, given the ramifications of COVID closings on the little guys. I hope we don’t lose this classic diner in Bethesda... for yet another hoity-toity hipster joint that serves up quinoa and kale as its staple. That Diner has served multiple generations for multiple years... and been involved in gawd knows how many 3am shenanigans by all kids and adults of all ages...
