Redskins Win One, Lose One (washingtonpost.com)
It's pretty disappointing to lose Antonio Pierce. A smart linebacker who can run Gregg Williams' complex schemes is not going to be easy to come by. Throughout the season, coaches kept raving about his intelligence. Even during his rookie season, Schottenheimer also praised him as the smartest LB that he'd been around. Pierce did a great job getting the defense lined up correctly.
The Skins won't be the same with 35-year old Mike Barrow lining the middle. 'Trading' a young rising star like Pierce to the Giants for Barrow is an unfortunate situation.
Obtaining David Patten is pretty underwhelming. The Skins probably could have had him for even less. He's turning 31 this year, maybe has 3 solid seasons left in him, and has never had more than 824 yards.
We can only hope that the team can make one WOW acquisition. Maybe they're saving it for the draft.

Noticed you seem to know the dillio with the Cal scenario, maybe you can answer a question for me -
whatever happened to Russel White? please advise, as my sanity and the fate of a professional endeavor (ok, not really) rests on said results.
Russell White was drafted by the LA Rams but never cut it in the NFL. He's coaching HS football. See the link below.
