London Fletcher SMACKS Giants TE Bear Pascoe

[Boss_Hogg]

Anyone else remember this from yesterday? Fletch still brings it, even with a lost season and a 23-3 lead. I love the collective "Ohhh" from the Redskins bench!

I1X4C2bV8Qk

I Love it, I hope he retires here. IMO he is one of the all-time greats.

[Bang]

DAYUM!


he POPPED the hell out of him!
London plays some FOOTBALL. Someone send that to Roger Goodell to remind him what it is.

~Bang

[S.T.real,lights,out]

that made me jump out of my seat when I saw it...what a shot. man, that dude is made of tough stuff.

I was right there with you man!!! Someone on here try and tell Fletch that we are playing for the draft pick!! :D

[gortiz]

that made me jump out of my seat when I saw it...what a shot. man, that dude is made of tough stuff.

[Dub70s]

I'd argue that Fletch and Ray Lewis are in a class by themselves for MLB playing better than young guys

[MLSKINS]

Dude is my hero for real. So glad that we signed him back in 2007. I always knew he was good, but until he played for us, I just didn't know how good he was.

DAYUM!

Actually don't .... Goodell will find some sort of way to make that defensive play illegal...

Can't believe I stood right next to him this past HOF in Canton and didn't have a gun :doh:

[wildbill1952]

My only wish is that Fletcher had been a Redskin since his first year. What a talent! I hope they sign him soon.

[PortisBetts]

Oh man, i loved that hit! Nothin like watching that game in a bar packed with Giants fans. Even they loved that hit.

[Botched]

I've always wondered what the hell Buffalo was thinking when they traded him to us.

[moondog]

WHOOOOO I love me some London Fletcher. Anybody that doesn't love EVERYTHING he brings to the table hates football.

[Hiro]

I've always wondered what the hell Buffalo was thinking when they traded him to us.
They didn't. He was a free agent we signed. Probably a top 5 in our greatest FA signings ever.

Love me some London Fletcher. :)

[flexxskins]

WHOOOOO I love me some London Fletcher. Anybody that doesn't love EVERYTHING he brings to the table hates football.There's actually someone here who argued (I think last season) that Fletcher is overrated by us fans and that Fletcher has a tendency to wait on ball carriers and make tackles 10-15 yards down field.:ols:

Does anyone else remember that?

Unfortunately no, but whoever it is deserves that hit from Fletcher more than Pascoe. I actually felt bad for the guy...well, not really, but I wish it would have been Antrel Rolle on an interception return :evilg:

[DieselPwr44]

You should edit the title to read: London Fletcher Smacks Giant Bear.

Because I bet he has before.

Great hit.

[Botched]

They didn't. He was a free agent we signed. Probably a top 5 in our greatest FA signings ever.

Why was I thinking we gave a 4th rounder for him?

[GibbsFactor]

Fletch gets a hit like that once a game. Usually on a big guy too.

Gregg Williams got him here from Buffalo.

Those are the same A-Holes that want to trade Orakpo and tank the season for an unproven college QB.

[skinsfanindallas88]

do we even have 5 great free agent signings?

[Koala]

Dude is my hero for real. So glad that we signed him back in 2007. I always knew he was good, but until he played for us, I just didn't know how good he was.

I really believe that if Fletch had played for a good team that gets media attention (i.e. Pats, Steelers, et.c), rather than toiling in obscurity in Buffalo for so long, people would be talking Hall of Fame for this guy. Playing for the Skins and Bills actually seems to hurt his perception league-wide, for all sorts of illogical reasons. It is what it is, good to know London is too big a man to let the chronic lack of respect get to him.

[herb mul-key]

Fletch got him good! quote out today....according to coach Tom Coughlin, who added that TE/FB Bear Pascoe suffered a rib injury. If Pascoe can’t play, TE Travis Beckum is the only player left at the position.

[HailGreen28]

DAYUM!

~BangWhy do you want Fletch to get fined? :(

[greenspandan]

#1 best free agent signing of the snyder era.

[martytheman]

Here's how Fletcher's contract negotiations need to go:

Dan: London, I'm going to give you this blank check. Feel free to write whatever number on it you think is fair and we'll call it a deal.

[boysetsfire]

Still my favorite hit.

[DCchillin89]

Ever since Perry Riley got the nod to start opposite of London, both of their games have improved immensely.I really think they complement each other well, as Perry is learning from one of the best. Let's hope we can keep this pair together for the future and Shanallen doesn't over think it. Sign London ASAP.

But Fletcher didn't wrap Pascoe up :(

[thesubmittedone]

One of my deepest wishes as a Redskin fan is to see the Redskins bring home a Super Bowl championship with London Fletcher starting at MLB. I want him to go to the Hall of Fame as a Redskin so bad. He's by far my favorite Redskin... no one comes close. Sean Taylor was my last favorite, but I'm not sure if Sean was still alive if that would still be the case.

And that's saying a lot. A LOT.

It is what it is, good to know London is too big a man to let the chronic lack of respect get to him.

I'm not so sure people won't put him in the HOF. It certainly hurts he's played the majority of his career with the Bills and Redskins, but his body of work, he's made some Pro-Bowls and people forget that he DID win a Super-Bowl as a starter for the Rams. His resume is pretty complete if you ask me. I'd say if he won another with us he'd be an automatic lock. As of right now, he's probably one of those guys that would take several ballots but I still think enough voters out there would ultimately get it right.

[Bubble Screen]

I'd argue that Fletch and Ray Lewis are in a class by themselves for MLB playing better than young guysLewis is overrated as hell right now. He's not in the same league as Fletcher. The Ravens were playing much better when he was out injured. His first game back they get totally destroyed by a mediocre Chargers club.

[repo_4]

I came out of my chair when I saw that hit. We couldnt believe they didnt show it again. And the reaction from Buck and Aikman, or lack thereof, says volumes about those clowns...

[Reaper 21]

Still my favorite hit.

I was young during that SB, but if I remember correctly, London made the tackle on the 1 yard line that saved the game for the Rams. Hope he's in Canton some day.

[seancarter]

Fletcher for HOF! Unlikely since he can barely sniff a pro bowl. This guy is definitely deserving of it.

Look at his career numbers vs Ray Lewis, a surefire first ballot HOF'er. Quite comparable although Ray has a lead on INT's and pass deflections.

Fletcher 14yrs
Tackles 1762 - 125.8/yr
Sacks - 34
FF - 18
INT - 18
TD - 2
PDef - 78
STF/Tack. behind LOS - 56

Lewis 16yrs
Tackles 1976 - 123.5/yr
Sacks - 40.5
FF - 18
INT - 31
TD - 3
PDef - 117
STF/Tackles Behind the LOS - 47

[BALLz]

I love the collective "OOOO" you hear from the 10k or so people still in the stadium

[Champskins]

Still can't believe he is getting shafted again from the Pro Bowl... that thing is such a joke nowadays. Hell, London's nickname should be "Pro Bowl"

[Boss_Hogg]

Wait, he got shafted again for 2011?

[pez]

C'mon man, that's a bit too much.

Someone somehow needs to get that man out of the position before he turns the league into two hand touch football...

[Rocket442Olds]

I've always wondered what the hell Buffalo was thinking when they traded him to us.
In hindsight they definitely should've re-signed him, but they didn't, and good news for us.

In their defense, they did think that Posluszny was going to be their franchise MLB, but didn't expect all the injuries he had.

[CrabR]

I am not one for paying for older free agents, but Fletcher is the exception. He has been the constant bright spot for this team since he came here. By far the best money we have ever spent

Let him retire as a skin and go into the hall as a skin. He has HOF numbers

He's a great LB but he isn't going to get near the HOF unless he buys a ticket.

[Boss_Hogg]

Anyone remember this hit?Fletch knocks the hell out of that horses' ass Brandon Jacobs.

This game was from the 2009 season. All week my Giants friends kept showing me the Jacobs running over Landry vid on YouTube. It's nice to see one of our guys rough up one of their players.

He bent that fool Pascoe the wrong way. Great ****in' hit.

Me too. London won a Superbowl with the Rams. I want him to get one with us. If I ever have kids, they'll be damn tired of hearing about how great London Fletcher was from their old man.

Pay this man Bruce Allen.

I was young during that SB, but if I remember correctly, London made the tackle on the 1 yard line that saved the game for the Rams. Hope he's in Canton some day.

It was actually Mike Jones. What a brilliant play that was. What a fantastic season too. I remember watching the Music City Miracle and thinking this is like a movie, not a real game. All my friends at school were arguing about that play in gym class. Oh, Nostalgia.

[AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy]

I don't think that London is HOF right now. However, I would argue that our change in scheme has been beneficial for him to make his case. It has allowed him to blitz more, etc,, and I believe that has helped him "jump out" to the football audience more than he did in the 4-3.

I believe he will make the Pro Bowl this year, and if I am right he has made it the past two seasons as an alternate (still counts as a trip, but I could be wrong). I would say that if he plays 3 more seasons with us, and makes the Pro Bowl every year, and somehow we contend...he might get himself a ticket to Canton. I know, a lot of "if"s.:)

I'm so glad someone posted that Brandon Jacobs hit. That was classic. Fletch gets his due as a tackler, but not as a big hitter...which he truly is.

[COOLeyCatchTds]

[QUOTE HAILGREEN28- How could you forget Riggo?]

No doubt! While Im grateful to have had Riggins, Im not his biggest fan post football.

[Boss_Hogg]

IMO, Fletch is one of the greatest Redskins. He deserves a spot in the ring of fame.

[NLC1054]

Wait, he got shafted again for 2011?

Apparently, the only Redskins who finished near the top of the Pro Bowl voting was Rak, who was third behind DeMarcus Ware and Clay Matthews. No one else came close, apparently; there's no mention of London being anywhere close.

Which is a frakking crime if there ever was one. The Pro Bowl is such bull. It almost makes you wish only coaches and players voted on it.

...And then I remembered the players left London off the Top 100 Players of 2011 list on NFL Network last season and stuck Donovan McNabb on it and realized that would a horrible idea too.

[Crazy Levi]

[QUOTE-SKINSFANINDALLAS88- Do we even have 5 good free agent signings?]


Wilbur Marshall, Dave Butz, Ernest Byner, Mark Moseley, London Fletcher

I thought Byner was a trade with Cleveland?

And Wilbur Marshall was more of a trade than a FA signing - we had to surrender 2 first round picks to the Bears to make that deal happen.

But if we are going back that far...Matt Millen had a good season for the Skins in 1991 but wasn't active for the playoffs because we were going up against run n shoot offenses. Tim whatshisface in 1990 or 1991.

Ken Harvey

Damn, it is a short list. But I think you can add Bowen, Cofield, and possibly Wilson to the list.

I'm happy with the pickups they made this year. I remember when the Eagles were signing everybody, and we were signing so called "B-talent" how pissed many people were here. We made the right move - it's these kinds of signings that build a team, not big-splashers.

[Horton_Predator48]

I hope Fletch never leaves this organization. Resign him and let him play until he says he can't any longer. I believe he is the type of stand-up guy that would admit when he could no longer be competitive (4 years from now, maybe!) After that, sign him as a coach. I love the fact this organization is investing in character guys (Fletch, Cofield, Kerrigan, Helu, OneManGang, etc.) Only good things come from guys working hard and staying positive. I hope we win out and go 7-9. I don't care how that sets us up in the draft because I believe things will work out for an organization that continues to fight. I'm proud this team is on the right track and I enjoy watching the guys gang tackle play with nothing to lose. They'll only continue to get better with a mix of draft and FA.

[Redskins4ever]

That was a nice hit. Nothing too serious. I wouldn't rank Fletcher's hit on Pascoe to be of the Jack Tatum variety.

[Boss_Hogg]

London has thrived under the 3-4 defense. He was awesome under the 4-3 however he's a man-beast with the 3-4.

I like how our team is being built.

[JaimeDeCurry]

Fletcher: "Get. On. My. Level."

The timeless wonder that is LFB. Awesome hit.

[PerryMason]

Get off my lawn!!!! Sick how well he plays at his age.

[The Dude]

I just saw that Pascoe was talking about retiring after this season. That hit will make anyone rethink a career in football.

Good job, London.
