In fact, let's trade a 4th or 5th each year to get an extra couple of 6s for Shanny to play with. |
Yeah, that's what I meant. 6th. |

Unfreaking believable!
Ah oh well. Just got to plug away I guess. He made a huge difference. So I got to give him some props for helping us get a win. |

This one really hurts, doesn't it? Have to feel sorry for the guy.
I wasn't sold on Merriweather when the Redskins signed him, and one half of action isn't enough to make a final judgement, but I think we all saw on Sunday just what an impact a decent safety can have on our defence. The team has been totally crippled by a lack of NFL quality safety play this year. We all knew it was an issue before the season, even before Merriweather's problems started. But week after week has hammered home the fact - we need REAL safeties.
Hope Merriweather comes back 100% next season. A kinder season for injuries would certainly help turn this defence around. |

Gutted.
He looked very good, and very motivated. He wanted to get back in the game, so it sounds like he has a great attitude and wants to compete.
Four different knee injuries in just three months is worrying though, does he have knees of jelly or what?!?!?
At least both knees will get a long rest now. We MUST bring in a safety or two for next season, but even so a healthy Merriweather will be a real bonus. |

I could see the team going into next training camp with Jackson and Meriweather as the projected starters. I'm not dating I agree with that idea (because I don't), I'm just saying it is a very real possibility!
That would new a big mistake, IMHO! |

I don't know that many noticed but it was pointed that Brandon was very involved with the other players on the sideline AFTER his injury
AND
the defense did seem to be playing with a bit better attitude
sorry to see him 'out' but I'm looking forward to having him compete for a spot here next season |

| I guess we all can wonder and look forward to what this defense will look like next year with Tannard Jackson back and Merriweather healthy...... |

Merriweather displayed why the coaches brought him onboard. He had an immediate and huge impact on the defense.
I look forward to him healing up and getting on the field next year. Best case scenario, both he and Tanard come back and can start next year. With an off-seasons worth of attention dedicated to the position.
- If Gomes doesn't really break out in the remaining games, we need someone to potentially start/backup Merriweather next year.
- I'd bring Tanard back and make him earn his money but draft/acquire someone who could start if he doesn't pan out. I think the Patriots showed on Sunday night what kinda pay-off a "risky" player can provide. Hopefully Tanard gets it together.
- As far as the CB's, I'm curious to see what that kid we put on IR in the off-season can do. He was a potential 2nd round pick that fell to us (undrafted), he could make some noise.
Sorry fellas, no negativity. Just realistic well wishing. |

One dilemma is going to be what we do to address the Safety position this offseason. Brandon Merriweather showed what he can do in limited time. He should be back. And, Tanard Jackson was slated to start according to Mike.
With those two players back, I wonder how aggressive they will be in finding other Safeties. |

Even with those two back, I'd still get at least one real backup safety. There are dependability issues with both of them.
And I'm tired of seeing Reed Doughty...he tries so hard, but in the end, he stinks. |

There has been some back room talks that he will get reinstated and play. As a matter of fact I believe there was some comments on facebook from him and his father saying the same thing. I don't have a link though....... |
