Redskins Sign Posey, Folau; Release Three

The timing isn't good. Folau isn't an upgrade to the other veteran FA Ols we picked up earlier this year. Holdman is holding up. What gives? Clemons was not a cog in this defense.

There's not much out there as far as O-linemen go. Folau has to be better then the current reserves.

I don't know. Linebackers looked stocked, even without Clemons. Jimmy Williams would have looked really good right about now. Instead, we're pinning our hopes on Mike Rumph, The Ade, and Kenny Wright.

Scary. Let's hope this "procedure" for Springs settles the issue for him once and for all.
How did we make it throughout the season last year? OK. I'm calm. a lot of these guys aren't going to make the final cut. And that includes veterans alike.

But, he sat out all of last year. Would we be better signing Ray Brown or the "big guy" from NFL Network?

Beem, I'm with you, our backup O-line looked horrible the other night. I mean after Portis' 8 yard run we had about 30 yards on the ground the rest of the night. Folau is an experienced guy and I bet after watching the film, that Joe Bugle was disgusted with what he saw. The Skins really need to find 2 or 3 solid guys who can play O-line without a serious drop off in talent. I don't think they have that right now.

everyone is in a panic three weeks before the season even starts. ok, together everyone. one deep breath and RELAX

It's not panic.

For the first time in 9 months there's finally something to talk about.

Scowan, I agree I O-Line looked horrible - together. Key is they were together. Chances are slim to none that we'll see five second stringers on the field at the same time during regular season. With that being said, even if we have to shufffle players in and out, we'll have at least 3 healthy guys somewhere around them. So I think what we saw, is something we'll never likely to see in when the bullets begin to fly.

I think you just have to hope that Pucillo, Tyson Walter, and maybe this guy Folau will be enough to fill in the gaps should one of the starters get nicked up.

12thMan has a good point, too. If Samuels, Dockery, Rabach, Thomas, and Jansen all go out at the same time for 4 games or more, only then will it be time for all of us to put pistols in our mouths.

Figuratively speaking, of course.

We'll bring in these guys now and try to get them up to speed and see what they can do. My guess is were not done bringing folks in, especially at CB and OL. As for the LBs, Clemons out, Posey in. He's a Williams guy and a vet. Clemons is out, he's been hurt before. Time to move along. When he's healthy, it wouldn't surprise me to see him in a skins uniform again.

PS Injuries are the nature of the game here, people. Having a quality coaching staff should help. These guys are pros at making slik purses out of sows' ears. Or whatever.
