Dernard Wilson came over my house

[clown]

this afternoon and we watched our terps f it up against clemson a 3rd time :doh:

if you don't know d. wilson, (MD) he mostly played on ST last year but he got some PT when Bowen got injured at dime back and safety.

he is best friends with Lemar Marshall and here is the inside dish....

Lemar has been told he will start at MLB.

I also asked Dernard if he thinks the skins will draft Rolle or Pac Man and he said if the skins were to draft a corner...it would be Rolle because of his physical aspects.

Also, He said Williams wants to be versatile on D next year for different blitz packages and switching to a 3-4 occasionally....merriman possibly

Wilson wants Merriman and it seems Gregg Williams likes him too.

probably Maryland bias....but Dernard knows a lot of inside stuff so if u have any questions...mainly regarding the D...ask me.

I hope this is accurate.

[jimster]

so that would make Merriman a situational player?

sweet . . . thanks for the info

also, the Marshall hired Jesse Armstead's former trainer (the one who got Jesse to bulk up 20 lbs to play in the NFL) to bulk himself up 10-15 lbs without losing speed.

What happens to Barrow, then?

Are we gonna try and trade down or snag Merriman at #9?

How is the team feeling about all of the disruptions over the past few weeks?

I think Barrow is one big question mark. Perhaps if he shows during off-season workouts that he is close to 100%, then they might keep him. If not, I would think that he might be a June 1st casualty. Regardless, I doubt that he is being considered the #1 MLB at this point.

[bird_1972]

Er.... clown .... are you there?

[Danny Montana]

Thanks for the inside info man. It's much appreciated. Keep it coming. :D

[Coach Williams]

why leave on your own thread?

No it would make him a DE who can drop back into pass coverage and allow the team to switch from a 4-3 to a 3-4 without having to sub, which means we could disguise the 3-4 from the other team until the last minute

[Skinned]

Clown -

Not to doubt you, but why is Denard hanging out with a 16 year old? What's the story behind this? Fill us in!

[clown]

Dernard doesn't know and doesn't talk to Barrow.




How is the team feeling about all of the disruptions over the past few weeks?

he said the team won't miss Coles and Gardner: These are Dernards words: "Lav and Rod would just sit in the film room and ***** about the gameplan...coles didn't like getting hit by linebackers and Rod didn't like 2 balls getting thrown to him a game....

as for Smoot, the team will miss him but there's plenty of talent in the secondary and Springs is a good motivator.

as for Pierce, Dernard didn't want to talk much about him.

That’s what I was thinking. Hopefully we won’t use a #1 pick for a situational player unless he’s really going to make an impact in those situations. Even then, I just don’t know…a first round pick? :( At least that should allow us to trade down and get another pick.

though someone would finally ask!!!

[rdavis2005]

Denard Wilson was placed injured reserve last year during training camp. He is someone that GW liked though.

http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=5951

First-year player Dennard Wilson suffered a knee injury early in training camp last year and was placed on injured reserve shortly thereafter. A Maryland product, Wilson hopes to make a name for himself in offseason workouts and training camp.

my brother, a walk on at College Park 3 years ago became best friends with Dernard at Maryland...Dernard always comes over....he is pretty fast i might add.

i wouldn't say we are friends but we know each other very well.

[Ghost of Nibbs McPimpin]

Interesting that he didn't want to talk about Pierce.

o seriously....i didn't follow the skins untill late last year because Dernard came over a lot...he said he got inured during the season and got some PT...maybe he was talking about the preseason.

my bad.

If Williams were to get a CB, would it be in the 2nd or 3rd round? How does Williams feel about guys like Eric Green and Marlin Jackson that are first round talent but are just overshadowed by the juniors?

[Ernie5]

I don't how credible any of this is, but I'd luuuuvvv to get Merriman.

Gregg Williams like physical corners as his STARTERS but he loves speed and coachibility for his backup corners....

we were talking about who the depth chart at corner and he said there's a 100 percent chance they'll add another corner becuase Walt Harris is injury prone...

Hey, Suggs, a player highly comparable to Merriman, was a situational player for Bmore his rookie year. We all know how good he was.

And I had never though of what Merriman brings to the table as far as switching between 4-3 and 3-4 on the fly.

Everyone, you can officially consider me the driver of the Merriman bandwagon.

[authentic]

this is good information , thanks clown

[zallera]

How can Dan Pompei call Merriman small for an end when he's listed at 272 lbs.? There a lot smaller guys you play end regularly.

[Fred Jones]

Just looking at his stats, he needs to add strength when he comes to the NFL.

[Chopper Dave]

Because before his junior year he was listed at 240. Therefore he's small.

At least I think that's how the broken thought processes of the football talking heads work.

Why's that?

[terps'n'skins]

thanks for the information...thats awesome that you know him...i didnt know that he was still on the team i had thought he had gotten cut, along with jafar williams but i guess not...id love to get merriman thats good news.
keep it coming!

I think it means Merriman has a small frame...most of weight could be in legs possibly....??

He's a slower Leanord Little, but much better against the run IMO.

[terps'n'skins]

how fast is leonard little?!

i thought merriman ran in the 4.5-4.6 range?

[Chopper Dave]

Little is really fast.

As far as Merriman goes, the scouts compare him to Arrington, but if he's got that full array of pass rush moves that his stats indicate, then I'd be inclined to compare him to Suggs or a less long-armed Kearse.

I wasn't doubting, I was actually asking - would we be using him as an End or LB, but it sounds as though he could do both, which I KNOW would be attractive to Williams.

If we could take him in the first and get a CB in the 2nd (if we get one) or 3rd to be a nickel/dime, that would be pretty exciting.

Stregnth you can add in thh NFL, instincts are un-teachable. It looks like he has all the tools, but just needs some fine tuning to be a very good DE.

[Leonard Washington]

so you guys want to draft him @ #9?

[Zen-like Todd]

Interesting. Was Dennard the guy who got hurt and the coaches were bitter because they thought he was strong on special teams?

I wouldnt mind Merriman at all. Greg Williams is a freak when it comes to desiging packages to bring pressure, and adding Lavar and Merriman to what we had last year would be ridiculous.

Maybe not that high, but trading down a few spots would be very nice. He should still be there unless he has an amazing workout.

[RonJeremy]

Interesting read...if you have any more "inside" info....pass it on!

:cool:

[SkinsHokieFan]

If we can trade down at grab him at say 14-18 I think he is a good pick.

I think at 9 we need to address WR or CB, although I do not see us going with a CB.

I would much rather take the option of dropping down and picking up Merriman and picking up an ad'l pick

[Chopper Dave]

If Merriman works out well, given his potential and versatility, he could very easily be gone by 11. We probably couldn't trade down and get him at that point.

[fdarugar]

Merriman will be gone by 11, he is a perfect fit for the chicken of the sea.

[Chopper Dave]

Which is why we must take him. Seriously, the thought of him lining up at DE in the 4-3 and then suddenly dropping back to LB and changing the play to a 3-4 instantly just gives me goosebumps.

Sorry Chopper Dave, you can take a backseat in the bandwagon because I have been driving it since December. I remember you converting after I showed you an article or something.

I like the way you think.

[miragv]

OK then, Merriman it is!

If we can get a board concensus then there is no way our FO could decide otherwise......right....?

[jtyler42]

I am still officially on the Mike Williams bandwagon but that Merriman bandwagon is looking better everyday! :D

[SlobberKnockinFootball]

I don't think we are going after a WR after all the recent moves and the sort of endorsement of McCants for next year by Gibbs. He called McCants a playmaker so why would we waste a draft pick on a guy that is probably just as comparable to Williams? I was on the Williams bandwagon at first before all the moves started happening. But I seriously can see us taking Merriman at 9. Everyone says that's too high, but everyone and their grandmothers have him slated to go at 11. 2 spots isn't that big a difference.

I see our first 2 picks being on Defense. The middle rounds will be on the OL, QB, maybe TE.

I really like Merriman, but i with Smoot gone it would be prudent to go after a corner, especially with Rolle available... if we don't get Williams at WR.. Rolle would be the next best thing

It all depends if we gain a 2nd round pick in a trade/trade down scenario. If we gain a 2nd rounder I'm sure we can pick up a CB there. From what I've heard the CB position has some decent depth on it. The way I see it is Merriman, and CB in the 2nd round if we gain one.

[ciresolstice]

I guess I'll hop on the wagon too... I'm converted...well a new rider! *lol*

If I jump off and skin my knee and get bad road rash it's on me.

Sounds beastly! The D would be dominant with that kinda flexibility, I know that is something Williams likes.

I'm not sure how it can happen though...I'd hate to spend a 9 on the guy on general principle, and trading down a few spots beyond 11 or so we might miss him.


And nice post..I like this inside scoup stuff...food for thought...We'll see how it all plays out. :cheers:
