[StevieInferior]

They say he is not present...could it be a sign?!?!?!?!

Duckett in :cool: :applause:

[RDSKNfaithfull]

Duckett in :cool: :applause:
Thats what I"m thinking

[RyansRangers]

The only way I see us taking Duckett is if we really dont trust betts or we think we will lose betts after this year

[MikeB]

Would be a very good move IMO.

Insurance for Clinton, and instantly gives this team the ability to pound it in on short yardage... something that killed us last year.

:fingersx:

[Skins11]

Wow, this would give us INSANE RB depth.

Hopefully, if this goes down, it is Patten for Duckett straight up....

[waterwagen]

This is very interesting, because it seems to have come out of left field. According to some other threads, at least a rumor of this is now being reported in Philly, Atlanta, and on SI.com also.

[RabidFan]

I can't see us trading Patten after Jacobs...but who knows

[bubba9497]

Gibbs on Riggo

nothing mentioned yet

If we get Duckett we must trade Betts. I'd like to see us shore-up the O-line.

[waterwagen]

Ok, coach just said that Patten isn't practicing because of a bruised thigh.

[dwills1]

WE get Ducket and then trade him to the Eagles for one of their starting corners - or trade him to another team for O-Line Depth. If we do trade for him, I doubt that he stays in Washington

[skinsfan93]

If it happens and it may be true since there was a rumor that Atlanta was trying to deal Duckett to the Jets, it would be great.

We would have Portis, Duckett and Betts as our 3 wideouts and still get to keep a Espy or even a Farris as our 5th wideout. Awesome move IMHO.

Gibbs on Riggo

nothing mentioned yet

Talking about it right now.....

Take a look at young guys in preseason this week.....

Jesse and AJ will get a look this week....

Won't confirm or deny Duckett talks.....

Mentioned rumor regarding Stephen Davis....

Hail,

Interesting read on Duckett

CAREER NOTES
Nicknamed the "Diesel," No. 8 (in honor of his brother Tico, who wore number 35, 3+5=8) has drawn comparisons to the Pittsburgh Steelers' "Bus," Jerome Bettis, for their hard-driving running styles … The three-year sensation opted to test the pro waters rather than return for his senior season, but he left MSU with 621 carries for 3,379 yards (5.4 avg) and 29 touchdowns …

I wouldn't give up so soon.....If there was nothing to the rumor, Gibbs would have flat out said there was nothing to it.

But he didn't.......

Hail,

H

[Reverend Gonna Change]

Was Patten listed as injured coming out of the Jets game? We're rather clandestine regarding our moves (who saw the Jacobs-for-Rumph deal coming?). Gibbs keeps his cards close the vest. I make more out him not practicing than the given excuse...

[waterwagen]

Hail,

HI agree that Coach kind of danced around the specific question about the Duckett rumor.

:laugh:

At this point in time, it sure does seem like it.

[FunBunch7]

Bootom line...if the Redskins want Ducket, we will get him...FOR SURE. That is why it is so great being a Skins fan...we always get the player we want! This is TOTALLY up to the Redskins...the Falcons really have no part in it. lol...but I'm dead serious!

Patten with a brused thogh...he didn't let himself get hit...how can he have a bruised thigh? lol

[Sarge]

Time for an Andyman appearance

Hope so. Calm all of us down.

Yeah, he went around the bush a few times avoiding an answer.

I almost got a headache trying to figure out what he was saying. :laugh:

[skinsfan51]

I'm not sure I like this trade. Like Bram or Larry said today, Duckett has never lived up to his potential (remind anyone of a certain LB we recently let go?). Heck, with the way Sellers ran the ball the other night who needs Duckett? It's the same thing: a big RB for short yardage.

On the other hand, 1.) Coach likes Patten, 2.) I like him as a 4th WR. I mean, he gives us such depth--and talent--at WR that it's sick. Throw in Cooley and who can stop us? There aren't enough good defenders to stop that kind of attack.

I say stick with Betts and Sellers for the first two games, at least. Give Ladell a chance to prove himself. If we can't move the ball then make a move with Patten if you need to. But don't be too hasty now.
