and another thing:
Westbrook says he knows that “this season is gonna be different…because [he's] got time to work out, time to get in shape, time to train, time to be the best player [he] can be.”
This claim makes no sense. Didn’t he have the time to do that in seasons past?
I always wondered about the notion that he is “smart.”
He’s a quiet guy, but anytime he’s opened his mouth, he has “removed all doubt” that he is not the sharpest tool in the shed (for example, what about the time the Eagles overpaid him by 3 mill and he felt that he shouldn’t have to give it back, but only after a month of seeing other guys get paychecks while he didn’t? What a genius this guy is).

Who ever says the Redskins aren’t going to be very good are wrong Vinny Cerrato0 is gone so that automatically makes the Redskins one of the most improved teams in the NFl.. The Skins made the playoffs in 2007 and should have won that playoff game against the Seahawks.Last year was a disaster but i put the blame on vinny Cerrato for that.

Westbrook says he has been talking to “6 or 7 teams,” huh?
Can’t he count? Or are the concussion cobwebs still hanging around? Maybe when his head clears, he’ll realize he’s been seeing double and it’s only two or three, and that none of them are very good.

I wish the Eagles would bring him back … Lesean Mccoy isnt better then Westbrook right now n Bell isnt even close.
DID YOU WATCH AND EAGLES GAMES LAST YEAR? I AM A HUGE WESTBROOK FAN, BUT HE’S DONE. THAT’S WHY THEY LET HIM GO. HE WAS AFRAID OF CONTACT AFTER THE CONCUSSION. A RUNNING BACK CAN NOT BE AFRAID OF CONTACT, AND BE PRODUCTIVE AT TEH SAME TIME.

Honestly, I think that the Jets should’ve signed this guy instead of LaDainian… What they should do is sign him to a one year deal after these final eight rules wear off if nobody else picks him up cause I’m definitely not sold on LDT being a competent backup. I’d feel much better with the situation cause I know that between Tomlinson and Westbrook, one will be a solid backup. Especially if they wanted to utilize the backup RB in passing downs (like the role they mentioned using Tomlinson in), Westbrook was amazing at making plays off of check down passes from McNabb. Westbrook’s most impressive stats, in my eyes, came from his pass-play production. That definitely helped pad McNabb’s stats for quite a few years, just Westbrooks YAC ability. If he can stay healthy, I have to believe Westbrook has another year or two in him (though Philly probably did wear him down pretty good using him so much…).

Westbrook carried the Eagles for the years he played there. I think he was more important than McNabb. However, I believe the man is in denial about his health. If he plays I wish him well but expect it to be short lived.

The Redskins will be a better team this year no doubt. Its a good thing the Redskins sucked though because it can’t get much worse from a Redskins fans perspective. Only can go up from here and it is possible to see them do good this year.
All who think the Redskins will be last in the NFC might be right, but could be very very wrong too.
Prediction-
Redskins 9-7 battle Giants for playoff spot.
Cowboys 11-5
Giants 9-7
Eagles 8-8

Good luck finding a “good, quality football team” that happens to be looking for an old, washed-up, knee-less rb

Brian wants to play for a “good, quality football team”. Unfortunately those teams usually have good quality football players.

I wouldn’t mind if he was with the Vikings. He personally carved the Vikes apart in the Playoffs of ’08. The problem with him is the bum knee & the concussions. It’s hard to determine if your nugget will not scramble on a simple hit.

Joshington,
“They have won more playoff games than the Dallas Cowboys since 1999.”
Good job using a time frame where your logic fits.
And where did I say anything about the Dallas Cowboys? Or Any other team?
All I was saying was that in recent history, the Redskins suck.
If you want to go with a Dallas vs. Redskins arguement, don’t start because you will lose.
The series is in Dallas’s favor 59-39-2, 5 SB’s to 3, and it gets worse from there. The Cowboys have owned the skins in the last 10 years going 14-6, 8-5 at FedEx. The only record the skins have over Dallas is 2-0 in the playoffs, the last win was almost 30 years ago.
So if you want to start, go ahead.
But that wasn’t my point. My point was that in the last 10 years, the skins have sucked. Am I wrong???

@BHindEnemyLines:
Let me aid your history lesson:
2. 2007
3. 2005
4. 2007
They have won more playoff games than the Dallas Cowboys since 1999.
Please remember the 2000′s are now over. A new regime has come to D.C. and something tells me that things will be different in D.C. with Shanny runnin the show.
Bottom Feeders no more! HAIL!

Pervy Harvin wouldn’t waste his money on a Motel 6, he will be happy to service you in the back seat of a car, or as he refers to it, his office.

Listen up Mr Glass, the only “quality” team that is going to sign you is in the UFL or AFL. Actually, scratch the AFL, because there you would have to play both ways. Enjoy retirement.

Easy there jrmbadger, VikingsPrincess will get on here and go absolutely ballistic on you. Princess doesn’t know how to take a joke and doesn’t understand that’s what the majority of this board is about.

Don’t worry about Princess, she’s honeymooning with Pervy Harvin at a Motel 6 in Hibbing.

Beast of the east:
1. I know a lot about football history. The skins have the worst combined record of the 2000′s.
When was the last time they:
2. Made it to the playoffs?
3. Won a playoff game?
4. Had a winning season?
5. Please tell me that “Beast of The East” is not referring to that 2nd rate team that plays just off of 495 in FedEx Field.
If it is, you need to change it to “The Bottom Feeders of The East” because that’s really what they have been for the past 10 years.
And that is what they call a history lesson.

If he’s serious about going to a quality team then why is he talking to the Redskins?

@TheOne: Seriously, dude, re-read what you posted and translate that s*it for us. The only thing I could make out was that the Deadskins “really” beat the Saints. I don’t like the Saints but I do like them better than the ‘Skins. If you have to put quotes around “really”, it still means you lost and your justification doesn’t change anything. Loser teams and loser fans blame the refs when they lose. Your boys lost and they’re going to lose this season too. Get over it. Good teams win because they make sure they aren’t playing all 16 games that are close enough to be decided by a single fumble.
I’m sorry I wasted 5 minutes of my time even trying to figure out what you were saying. Just say no.

The truth is, I don’t think anyone wants him.
I think he’s a liability. The difference between him and LT is that LT didn’t miss half the 2009 season with several different injuries including concussions. No one wants a player who gets concussions as often as he does.
And the Redskins already have an old guy at RB – Clinton Portis. Why would they need another?
