A Kris Jenkins Rumor

At DT we have Montgomery, Golston, Salavea, Griffin, and Evans? I don't think its a clear need area at this point. DE and CB are far more glaring.
all these are mediocre players at best (except Griffin). with a player like Branch, Jenkins or Hollis Thomas that would free up the double team off of others on the line which will cause more pressure and effectiveness of the secondary

Maybe it's a decoy, and Kris was actually doing some house hunting for his kid brother Cullen, who is a free agent (restricted)
Could be, but do they have the same agent, because apparently he was there with Kris yesterday.
Hell, maybe the ravens are going to try to get him and he's just looking in PG because he went to UMD and knows that area.

You can say the same thing in reverse. If we had better ends and secondary it would take pressure of the middle. Defensive tackle is not the weak point of our defense. Not even close.

The problem is that we have holes everywhere on defense. I agree that we need better ends, but DTs are the heart and soul of a defense. They aren't as sexy as LBs or DEs as they don't get the stats, but if you can't get pressure in the middle your defense is going to suck (see Redskins 2006 defense). I saw a lot more pressure coming from the edges last season than I did up the gut.

Jenkins is a monster when healthy... imagine him pairing up with Griffin?! Wow!

Injuries are definitely a concern with him though.

While we're in the business of discussing rumors, I swear I saw Elvis cooking Chicken McNuggets at McD's. Oh and Batboy is for real.

I think your mistaken about the Elvis sighting, because I believe I saw him at Wendy's, however that is a simple mistake as they are owned by McD's.

Are you kidding me? Elvis works at a truck stop in Natchez, MS, and moonlights as a lounge singer on one of those Gambling Riverboats.

Kris Jenkins would be a good pick up, if the price is right. Plenty of other areas need to be met before overspending on a DT.

We have a bunch of guys who can play, but it's a position where we need to get a stud. That's why we should draft Branch.

So this is just sort of a rumor, so don't get to carried away with it, but I heard it from my dad, who was talking about it at work. I know how people get all pissed off about unsubstantiated rumors, so take this with a grain of salt, but...

My dad builds houses in Montgomery and PG Counties, and today his sales guy told him that Kris Jenkins (DT - Car) (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/players/5491/) was in today looking for a new places to live with his agent. I know that Jenkins went to UMD, so that could be his only association with the area, but the sales guy (who sounded like he didn't follow football) seemed to think that he was moving to the area because he was going to play for the Skins.
I know free agency doesn't start for over a month, but maybe he knows something and that's why he was looking for a place close to FedEx. Or, it could just be a senseless rumor or miscommunication or whatever, but I figured I'd pass it along anyways.

I will take this for what it is. A grain of salt. If this is true I will only say this. NO MORE FREE AGENTS. Bringing in players from another system is just not the way to go and every Redskin fan should know this. Does anyone remember Dana Stubblefield? Or how about Dan Wilkinson?

before this year no team could run on us this year teams gashed us for long yards.... up the middle enough said!
