Ricky Stromberg was 'voice of reason' on Arkansas offensive line

Stromberg, who only played for Cody Kennedy in the final two seasons of his college career, quickly became one of the players Kennedy could trust the most because of his intelligence and knowledge of the system.

Did you make you decision yet on the over/under?

no and i wont till i see some things like the joint practice and the preseason games (2) . i want to see the depth on the o/line and at TE and LB . and maybe some clues as to how EB calls a game

Commanders: Will QB Sam Howell Lead Franchise To Postseason Or The No. 1 Pick?

The Washington Commanders chose to start Sam Howell in Week 18 last season to see what they had in the fifth-round pick. The coaching staff evidently liked...

On the latest Trap or Dive Podcast, Lynnell Willingham of 106.7 the fan argues that the Washington Commanders ceiling is higher than people think this year in a weakened NFC.

my issue is the last time this defense was mega hyped like it is now coming off a good season they read their press clippings and tanked . i also have real issues with the o/line and of course qb has to be a question mark . brisset is middling , and howell is inexperienced

now lets see what happens in AZ with Murray . he could be available next year

 

[skinsdad62]

i would tell them to take a hike . i am not changing my handle either

Just awful. Injuries and bad QB play. Hopefully Howell changes this.

Poor choices for acquisitions is more like it . Gruden started it with the horrible CDC trade , I predicted he would get injured by the way , then we bring in. Fitz , which Sty predicted would get injured and then we finally go for Wince which again I said was a horrible move .

 

[skinsdad62]

no curl or Defo !

 

[skinsdad62]

i will 2nd that !

i will 2nd that !

This is on Rivera. He has made it clear that building a defense was his first priority. The defense gets the 1st rounders and got the elite coordinator. Rivera chose a clown to be his first offensive coordinator and has repeatedly neglected the offense.

I agree with your post skinsdad.

I don't believe Gruden was behind the trade for Smith, I think that was a Snyder/Allen function because they could not get Cousins to take the cheap deal they wanted to give him. Gruden was also not behind picking Haskins but I think we all know that.

Going into this draft I was thinking CB, OL, OL, OL .... the pick of Martin confused me. However how do you rationalize paying $60 to $80 million for the DL as some do and then not like that they try to improve the defensive secondary ... please consider some of the DBs are also your LBers.

While I agree the OL could use more help they are rebuilding the line with younger people. Yes I know they let Scherff go. From all we have heard EBs west coast offense is designed to get the ball out faster. Will that work? Don't know. Would a top 5 defense suck when you have a QB with one game of experience?

Who knows, it could all get blown up next year.

injuries had alot to do with it. That was 2 starting QB's who had career ending injuries with us. Plus, one starting QB who was basically injured for half the year, No team can win like that. Blame the moves all you want but that is just bad luck.

I dont think you believe half of what you post Dean.

As expected, you refuse to post about the Snyder story because it goes against your agenda of not discussing anything negative about the team, owner, or front office. You prefer it simply go away or get swept under the rug. You told me that Snyder had little to do with bad fan attendance and that we should support the team and go to the games. As usual, you could not be more wrong.

You have always been more of a fan of your predictions than the team. Looks like you are firing up your old season prediction act again. As expected, you are at least 3 games over what the experts and Vegas have. I am shocked. I am sure you will attempt to convince the board why the experts are wrong and that we are super bowl contenders.

Skinsdad completely dismantled your argument, yet, you want to blame bad luck? What about the wentz trade Dean? What does luck have to do with that. I dont know if you actually ignored me or not, that being said, you ignoring me doesn't mean I am wrong as you want to believe.

2 injuries a couple of schmucks predicted here on this board and the professionals should have known that .
