[dj_stouty]

Lloyd: Again mentioned Coach Saunders easing his fearsabout ball sharing. greatest show on turd...3 superbe receivers if he does say so himself.

Turd? lol

[CNYSkinFan]

Umm okay...

[Chief Seeway]

By far Lloyd is the most openly excited about getting all this going. He seems ready to run a route right now.

[HAWGZHEAD]

[CNYSkinFan]

[Chief Seeway]

Larry, don't do it...

[CNYSkinFan]

Lloyd: Veterans in 49ers that were wrankled by him were not feeling his style
Gibbs: Brandon and Joe were eating and said he was chasing down Sean Taylor after the interception and said that he could look stupid and jump on ST's back and be carried for 40 yards or hit him low....so he hit him low and hopes ST is not mad at him.

[inevitable]

Larry, don't do it...

HEY BRANDON, CAN YOU RAP A LITTLE FOR US?!?

[CNYSkinFan]

Larry, don't do it...

Style that is so flyle it runs Myles around those players who were just in denile.


Okay ill stop just warming things up for Seeway.

[CNYSkinFan]

Lloyd is on with Michaels now.

Lloyd: I will do whatever it takes to get the ball

[HAWGZHEAD]

here it comes!!!!

[inevitable]

Sounds to me that all this about him being "soft" is bullcrap. Sounds to me like he trys to get the pigskin.

[Chief Seeway]

Here it comes...


GAWD!!!!


Larry: "Go ahead and bust something for us..."

What kind of car does Larry drive???

Larry: "Is it gangster rap that you do?"

[CNYSkinFan]

Lloyd is on with Michaels now.

Lloyd: I will do whatever it takes to get the ball
uh oh...Larry is asking abut rap

here it comes he is acutally asking him to rap

[MWballer]

Wow this guy is a character to say the least!

[CNYSkinFan]

Wow this guy is a character to say the least!
Lloyd: Not gangster rap it is more hip hop

[inevitable]

Larry Michael: "Is this GANGSTER rap?"

LOL

[HAWGZHEAD]

Is this gangsta rap? LMAO!!

[CNYSkinFan]

Lloyd: Not gangster rap it is more hip hop
I think they forgot to actually rap....thank god.

[CNYSkinFan]

I think they forgot to actually rap....thank god.
Lloyd: likes the chemistry on the field. Loves Clinton's characters.

[S.Taylor36]

Larry Michaels...this guy.

[CNYSkinFan]

Lloyd: It was frustrating losing games but it was exciting to be playing. Could have been in alot worse situations.

[CNYSkinFan]

Lloyd: will work in the Otas has a couple of baby showers first lol.

[CNYSkinFan]

Lloyd: just got married Jan 19th. Went to Aspen, looks good in ski suit, but does not ski.

[Chief Seeway]

Larry Michaels...this guy.

A white guy his age should never ever even attempt to think about being hip.

[CNYSkinFan]

Larry is trying to coin greatest show on natural turf....clunk clunk

[inevitable]

Khari Campbell resigned.

[CNYSkinFan]

Is this gangst rap? That has to go down as one of the best questions ever!!!!!

[Chief Seeway]

Did Larry just announce another signing???


I must say we just signed three very different and very classy guys.

[S.Taylor36]

Khari Campbell resigned.

Thats good.

[DUCKIN_TACKLERS]

Khari Campbell resigned.
Heck yeah solid resign love his depth and could probably play a big role.

[KMDeMuth]

Did Larry just announce another signing???

yup campbell is back, looks like its going to be campbell, clemons and mccune competing for holdman/lavar's spot.

[HAWGZHEAD]

OK, maybe I was wrong about this guy. He doesn't sound like a bad guy just someone that likes to have a good time while he plays. Him and CP will have fun this year.

[dj_stouty]

Ok...so Saunders basically promised each of our receivers that they will get the ball.

Why do I have a feeling someone will be upset down the road if he isn't getting the ball enough?

[CNYSkinFan]

Heck yeah solid resign love his depth and could probably play a big role.
Espescially with lavar gone and no immediate plans to sign a big name replacement.

[Biggie]

Khari Campbell resigned.

Score.

Brandon Lloyd already gets credit from me for not giving in to Larry.

[Chief Seeway]

Is this gangst rap? That has to go down as one of the best questions ever!!!!!

I think I found a new quote for my sig

[GoDannyBoy]

The league has to approve the signing before it becomes official. So since it is official it means we are still under the cap.

I am talking about the "cap" situation in a couple years when "cap magic" will be necessary to pay these signing bonuses. Although it seems we are tying more of the guaranteed money to roster bonuses. Which helps if a guy gets injuried.

The "experts" have been saying we are going to be in cap hell for a long time and it has turned out so I will believe in the front office to manage these things and be happy for free agency.

[CNYSkinFan]

yup campbell is back, looks like its going to be campbell, clemons and mccune competing for holdman/lavar's spot.
Don't forget Jaysohn Sykes...he has started in this league before....

I bet on Clemons getting it and going down to DE to rush the passer replacing Wynn in pass situations

[HAWGZHEAD]

I think I found a new quote for my sigLMAO! I feel kinda empty inside that we didn't get a rap. Oh well.

[DUCKIN_TACKLERS]

Is it just me or is Redskin Nation in a frenzy. 3 press confrences coming off a playoff season. i almost cant take it im giddy.

[KMDeMuth]

Don't forget Jaysohn Sykes...he has started in this league before....

I bet on Clemons getting it and going down to DE to rush the passer replacing Wynn in pass situations

Wouldnt doubt it. i'm still seeing talk about abe. from the jets possibly signing. I'm not sure i like that for multiple reasons, mainly age/money. But, if we are still looking for a DE, i dunno how much of that clemons will be doin this year.

[lakeskin]

Andre Carter missed out. Its not too late to join the best lockerroom in football, Andre.

[GoDannyBoy]

Khari Campbell resigned.

Maybe there was a reason for having 12 or 14 LBs in camp last year!

Hope he can move his play from teams to "D".

[Chief Seeway]

LMAO! I feel kinda empty inside that we didn't get a rap. Oh well.

I have a feeling Larry will soon get his wish of some gangster rap being busted around Redskins Park.

I'm just afraid of Samuels busting, that would probably scar me deep down in my soul.

[danny's stogie]

Lloyd is on WTEM right now.

[S.Taylor36]

Andre Carter missed out. Its not too late to join the best lockerroom in football, Andre.

He is on his way right now to sign a contract for 6 yrs, 30 mill

[GoDannyBoy]

Andre Carter missed out. Its not too late to join the best lockerroom in football, Andre.

Denver hasn't signed him yet! You want to bet that he isn't watching this press conference and telling his agent to get GW on the phone so he can sign up!

[Slobberknocker]

OK, maybe I was wrong about this guy. He doesn't sound like a bad guy just someone that likes to have a good time while he plays. Him and CP will have fun this year.


I think a LOT of people will be saying that. I told everybody in the Lloyd thread that I analyzed his signature and he's just a guy with a big heart and a lot of emotion. Nolan is a hard a## coach who doesn't let his men be boys. No way he'd let Clinton do the wig thing.

You think players whooping it up is a sign??? Clinton and Lloyd will have that locker room dancing. "I play best when I'm smiling."

Joe knows this. He said last year, "I want guys with personality."

Well he just added three amazing ones. We're headed for glory, guys. I can FEEL it.

[HAWGZHEAD]

I have a feeling Larry will soon get his wish of some gangster rap being busted around Redskins Park.

There may be a Redskins rap single soon to be in production. Maybe Clinton could work some raps with him and Lloyd into the thursday media days before the games.

[KMDeMuth]

One thing that did suprise me in that last press conference was Gibbs talking about Betts. I will be suprised to see us keep Betts after re-signing Cartwright. But after listening to Gibbs talk about Betts and asking him about Lloyd (played together in highschool), i dunno.

[Slobberknocker]

I'll tell you what stood out the most to me.

Joe, Dan and Vinny KNEW this was our guy. But more than that, Brandon was nervous the whole time, worrying if he'd be part of our team. He wanted to be here. He knows he will be part of The Greatest Show on Natural Turf.

I think the Fun Bunch is back in town. These guys will be a blast to watch. I hope this erased any last shreds of doubt anybody had.

[HAWGZHEAD]

I think a LOT of people will be saying that. I told everybody in the Lloyd thread that I analyzed his signature and he's just a guy with a big heart and a lot of emotion. Hope you're right. I hope he plays well and has fun while doing it here.

[Slobberknocker]

There may be a Redskins rap single soon to be in production. Maybe Clinton could work some raps with him and Lloyd into the thursday media days before the games.

Yeah, and they can record it in Chris Samuels' studio. There seems to be a bit of destiny at work here.

Another great sign: the 49ers fans were all ragging about how Lloyd was "preoccupied" with his rap career. Didn't think he cared enough about football.

Well... Joe was the one to mention it first! We're all like, Brandon, tell us about your singing!

He's going to be happy here. And he's going to play his best football here too. The NFC East had better stock up on DBs quick.

Al Saunders must be wetting his pants.

[JoeJacksonTaylor28]

Ok...so Saunders basically promised each of our receivers that they will get the ball.

Why do I have a feeling someone will be upset down the road if he isn't getting the ball enough?
I think of someone that will be mad much more before the season starts... DP

[JoeJacksonTaylor28]

The Super Bowl XLI Shuffle? :)

[Slobberknocker]

I think of someone that will be mad much more before the season starts... DP

Nobody's heard from DP yet. It's all speculation. He may be one of the guys whooping it up. Everybody seems to understand that this is Al Saunders calling plays now. The Rams showed what can happen when talented receivers slice and dice the opposition as a group.

No reason to think Patten won't be one of them. It would be nice to know he's in on the plans. He should be a dangerous weapon from the slot. El and Lloyd don't detract from his value, unless he perceives it as such. He could and likely will end up with more receptions under a Saunders scheme surrounded by talent then he would as the primary #2 someplace where there were limited options.

I'm hoping that's the way Patten sees it. Would be nice if somebody interviewed Fun Bunch II.

[Slobberknocker]

The Super Bowl XLI Shuffle? :)

That's what I was thinking too. Ours would actually have singing credibility though.

Ever watch those things years later??? Painful. Let's hope we can record, and re-record ours during our three-peat.

[Biggie]

I'm hoping that's the way Patten sees it. Would be nice if somebody interviewed Fun Bunch II.

Just wait a second. Let them get to know each other first before you get them doing interviews and such.

[Slobberknocker]

Just wait a second. Let them get to know each other first before you get them doing interviews and such.


Nah, I know where you're going there. I didn't mean it in a show-offy way. I just can't wait to hear how they perceive the new corps and if there's a chemistry. I strongly believe there won't be any egos here (Joe wouldn't put them together if there would). But still. I can wait. Just getting excited. You're excited too, right?

[hail2skins]

I just watched Randle's press conference and I was very impressed with him. I believe what got him is when Gibbs asked to speak to his wife. That caught him offguard as he said. He said, "you wanna talk to my wife?". That's just Gibbs being Gibbs. It's good that they told him what they're expecting of him as well. One thing I really liked is that he gave Pitt the chance to match. That told me alot about him as a person.

[Biggie]

My retinas are burning after watching the screen all day.

[Keino]

I was thoroughly impressed with all 3 Press Conferences.

Im excited about all 3 of these guys. I was not so thrilled about Lloyd, until I saw his Presser....

[skins lady]

Lloyd looked so excited to be here. I think he was just ecstatic to finally get out of San Fran. Randle El looked real happy as did Archuleta. It's a great thing that they all feel "welcomed."

[Red Bear]

did Lloyd actually rap at the press conference? i got off work and missed Lloyds, but i did see randle el's and archuleta's press conferences. but seriously, did lloyd rap?

[silverspring]

Just listened to all these, i found it interesting that during both the lloyd and randle el interviews it was brought up that they are crowded at the WR position, moss and the other signing were mentioned but patten's name was never spoken.

not sure if anyone mentioned this but i don't have time to read this whole thread....

[Chief Seeway]

did Lloyd actually rap at the press conference? i got off work and missed Lloyds, but i did see randle el's and archuleta's press conferences. but seriously, did lloyd rap?

No he didn't. MC Larry Michael wanted him to but he didn't. I hope they post the videos again for you guys that missed them. All three were very impressive.

[whistleandthumb]

No he didn't. MC Larry Michael wanted him to but he didn't. I hope they post the videos again for you guys that missed them. All three were very impressive.
How embarrasing. For Larry, that is.

[Chief Seeway]

How embarrasing. For Larry, that is.

The only reason I didn't want Lloyd to freestyle was I was afraid L-Mike would start dancing or bobbing his head. It would have been ugly for all.

[bwparker]

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet(its a Loong thread). Here's my opinion on the conferences:

I was impressed with Archuleta's conference. I liked how much he talked about player's attitudes, the team's direction and the coaches reputations being big factors. Thats what we want players seeing when they look at the Redskins, not just dollar signs($$) but family, fun, hard work, die-hard fans and great opportunity.

Randle El had the perfect attitude. The new millenium every position player popularized by New England. How many times did he say "I'm just one piece of the puzzle?" Gotta love that team attitude.

Lloyd conference got me giddy. The man has alot of energy and fun being exuded from him. I liked his perspective on his trouble in SF, hopefully its true. I like The family mentallity that he and Gibbs seemed to already have, poking fun at each other and laughing like good friends.

Gibbs has a way of putting himself on the same level as his players. I think that is huge for bonding and player coach relationship. That can only make the learning process easier.
