What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor?

I get seafaring vibes from Adam Peters. 

He's not Ahab. He's not George Clooney in a perfect storm. He's a Hornblower type dude. A Captain who does hard shit with a good crew. He's got to get the Ship ready to sail the choppy seas. 

An experienced Captain goes after people he knows he can trust. Maybe they're devils. But they're devils you know. They may stink and not shave. But they tie the right knot.

Some Commanders fans are disappointed in free agency thus far. How much of that is a hangover from the days of Dan Snyder's Star Vehicle fiascoes and how much is sober? Take your pick. I think it is Peters clearing out the suckers.  

Some say he, Peters, is a sucker for signing Javon Kinlaw. Again haunted by the Snyder Dark Ages and the days of Haynesworth et al. I think it will work out better than that. Not that that would be difficult. I think John Keim is right about Kinlaw. He is the elephant in the room.

The Elephant Defensive End, that is. He may get back the 10 sacks we lost with Dante Fowler. If we have lost him. I'm assuming Kinlaw will be more comfortable with people who know him. Maybe he's not Reggie White. But I'll take Dexter Manley. We'll see.

There's a lot of time before training camp. There are hard working guys still out there who can tie the right knot. June 1st a lot of good guys get dumped. In between is a draft with better than average non-QB talent and probably a pretty good crop of UDFAs.

Which means to me that, competitively speaking, you get real deals as far as work ethic goes.  

Just remember. We don't leave Port until September.
