All speculation Russ. I may very well be true however I take the position of this thread being who is the one player who you would take period, and from an impact point having Washington and Matthews inside would give Horton so many options and cause so much havoc for the other team it would be like a kid in a candy store at Christmas.
I think we can pretty much agree no one player on offense is going to turn around our offense whether it be a RB or a LT or a WR, so why not look at the defense and turn it into a monster. Matthews gives us that guy who can cause great pressure on the QB and he will make DWash even better because now every offense needs to know where Matthews is. This will allow DWash to have an even greater impact on defense.
Sure its speculation but he and Cushing were best friends and workout partners for their careers at USC and there were pics on the web of both of them at various points in their workouts that made it pretty obvious they were on steroids. Which is why I say matthews as an acquisition is risky, with Cushing caught he's the most obvious guy out there. The NFL has said they want to crack down on steroids and HGH, the way you do that is go after the high profile users, that's him to a T.
He's a terrific player, but last year he wasn't. He reported to camp last year somewhere between 10 and 20 pounds lighter. He said it was because of the lockout and maybe it was but it sure was a coincidence that Cushing had tested positive the year before IMO.
But I did hijack the thread and I apologize for that.
