People on this site seem to be OBSESSED with signing everyone for "vet minimum"...and if we dont do that its a horrible signing. Fellas (and hess :-P), no starter or top backup plays for vet minimum...and if they do youre getting exactly that, a vet with minimum talent. As for Jamarcus Russell, I cant imagine this is even worth following...but hey, Ive been wrong before. Big C 03-15-2007, 01:19 AM Why do we assume he is a backup?

Todd Wade - It's Getting Close - Redskins Insider (http://blog.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/2007/03/todd_wade_its_getting_close.html) we assume he is a backup because 6'8" is a little tall for a guard. hard to get low when you are that tall, leverage would be a big problem id imagine.

There is only a 2 inch difference between Wade and Dockery, plus Wade is about 20lbs lighter that Dockery which might make gettin low for leverage a bit easier for Wade...

Either way I think that having Wade on the team for OL depth is good. And besides that Jansen isn't getting any younger. I am not insinuating that Wade start over Jansen, but I am saying that haveing Wade on the bench waiting to be used incase of an injury seems to me to be a good thing...

RedskinPete 03-15-2007, 04:52 AM Here is my take on Wade vs Dockery. I don't believe we will see any let down if he [Wade] is the starting guard! I think his pass blocking will be the same as Dock but Wade will be a better pull blocker the Dockery! Dock might be a little better in power blocking but that might be the same as well! offiss 03-15-2007, 05:15 AM 2 inches can make a lot of difference. if we do use him at guard i hope he will be a success, im just not sold on it by any means I think most women would agree with you.:pimp: dmek25 03-15-2007, 06:04 AM good move by the skins. the sight of another cory raymer sighting at guard makes me want to puke
