Probably the weakest link on our OL last year but still solid. He likely wasn’t gonna be a Ram after this season but I still liked having him here in case he ever needed to step in.

TheGreeK1973 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 How in the hell Bruce Allen had the fortitude to do the right thing for once? I guess its the stopped clock theory on this one. But getting HaHa for a 4th was a huge move. Redskins now have the top two rated safeties in football to go with that DLine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a great move for little cost, but he's not Ed Reed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s going to play with two quality vets in Norman and Swearinger, and the Skins front 7 has looked good this year after Allen, Payne and Ioannidis have really stepped up. They just need HHCD to play deep centerfield and backup the CBs on deep coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a very good move (and an idiotic move for Green Bay), but I don't think it makes them a lock to win anything. Peterson staying healthy will be a much bigger factor.

Also Chris Thompson started the year off great before he got hurt, is he not fully healthy, because he should be getting more usage as well.

He's too inconsistent with the angles he takes to the ball carrier, and he's usually a bit late in recognizing the play. He's a good safety, but he's trying to be paid like an elite one and he isn't an elite safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safety tag at $ 12 million/ yr is slightly above "cheap" which is why GB didn't consider that a viable option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it's nice to see the Skins getting a break at the safety position after the tragedy of losing Sean Taylor back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, the tag came right under $12M so you have to figure it'll be around there as well. That's elite S money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
