Didn’t have to wait long to see who would replace Lemar Marshall: why its former Cowboy (and Charger, and Seahawk and Titan and etc) Randall Godfrey! This still doesn’t make sense to me. Godfrey is 34 years old and was thinking about retiring before the Skins called. Marshall is 30, plays all 3 LB spots and started 15 games for us last year.
I don’t get it. Skin Patrol sounds similarly confused by the affair.
Wow, Lemar Marshall got cut by the Skins today. I didn’t see that coming (he didn’t either). Guy goes from being our staring MLB last year to the streets. Strange too because he’s good on special teams and can play all 3 LB positions (not to mention Marcus Washington is banged up). I imagine he’ll get snatched up pretty quickly. I always liked the guy, wish him well.
Redskins training camp opens today. My dear friend The Mexican sent me this video to get me pumped up. It does the trick quite well. Watch till the end to check out the Japanese TV commentary. Hysterical. Lets go Skins.

The trouble here is I like Peter King. His Monday Morning Quarterback column is a must read for me. Having said that, I am furious with Mr. King. How dare he rank the Redskins 24th (24th!) in his pre-training camp power rankings?!?!?! That’s an outrage. Here’s what Peter wrote:
I agonized over this one, because I think the Redskins are moving in the right direction. I like young quarterback Jason Campbell. I like Joe Gibbs’ ability to make owner Dan Snyder a more patient man and I like — really like — the addition of tackling machine London Fletcher-Baker. I could see the ‘Skins winning 10, but maybe in 2008, not 2007.
Damn right we are moving in the right direction. Look, I know we have a young quarterback and a defense that underachieved tremendously last year, not to mention injuries to our starting RB. But how are we worse then the New York Giants, a team that starts Eli Manning and lost its franchise running back when Tiki Barber retired? There are other ridiculous teams ahead of the Skins but I really don’t have the stomach to handle this anymore. At least we can say everyone’s sleeping on the Skins this year; its always more fun to win when no one expects it.
Just got this gchatted to me from my buddy The Cooler. Not good news, hope he’s alright:
LaVar Arrington, a former member of the Washington Redskins and New York Giants, has been seriously hurt in a motorcycle crash Monday afternoon.
Prince George’s County Fire tells WTOP that Arrington is in serious condition after the crash near Route 50 and the Capital Beltway.
Channel 9 reports Arrington was taken to Prince George’s Hospital Center.
Arrington was drafted by the Redskins out of Penn State in 2000. He was cut by the New York Giants this year after suffering a season-ending foot injury.
Ah Will Ferrell. You are the best. Video after the jump, its more then worth it. (via With Leather)

Today’s rumor concerning the Skins? Well apparently we are meeting with JaMarcus Russell….even though we have Jason Campbell. Shoot me now:
What might be a bit unusual, however, is that the Washington Redskins are one of the teams that has arranged a visit with the former LSU quarterback.
Russell is scheduled to meet with Redskins coaches and officials on April 10 as part of his pre-draft tour of NFL franchises, ESPN.com has confirmed. But the Redskins already have a young quarterback in two-year veteran and former first-round choice Jason Campbell, and Campbell is expected to be their long-term starter.
That raises questions about the Washington brass’ motive in arranging a visit with Russell.
Ok what are we doing here? I like Russell as much the next guy (the guy’s got a cannon) but we already gave up a shit ton to get Campbell. Isn’t this the whole Briggs thing all over again? I’m aware that these weeks leading up to the Draft are full of lies and rumors but with the Redskins history of trading picks left and right I’m still on edge.
Let me start by saying that I think Lance Briggs is a good player, maybe even a great one. He’s been to two Pro Bowls, he’s only 26 years old and he’s a game changer. Having said that, why oh why are the Redskins trying to trade for the guy? Why is outside linebacker an area of concern? We just drafted Rocky McIntosh in the second round last year. Actually its slightly worse then that, as the WaPo reports:
McIntosh “whom the Redskins selected in the second round last year after trading second- and sixth-round draft picks, plus a second-round pick in this year’s draft, to the New York Jets on draft day.
And you know if Briggs comes here the Skins are going to hand him a huge contract, which is what Briggs wants in the first place. Haven’t we learned from our mistakes? Didn’t we just dump Adam Archuleta (on the Bears by the way) after making him the highest paid safety in history (yeah, in history).
I am all aboard the trading down bandwagon but I want more picks if we are going to move from 6th overall; I don’t want to move to 31st or 30th or whatever and get Briggs. I want picks in the 1st and 2nd rounds, plus more. Not to mention I want a pass rusher or a DT, not a LB. I thought we were set at LB with the signing of London Fletcher and the further development of Rocky. I guess the powers that be at Redskins Park have other ideas.
