RI: Skins Looking at Veteran Offensive Linemen

Redskins Insider - Skins Looking at Veteran Offensive Linemen (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/jason-la-canfora/skins-also-looking-at-veteran.html)

People talk about AH's anger management issues but they don't compare to Bridges'. But if Bridges can keep it together mentall-a big ask-then he could be a steal. Not holding my breath for that though

I think Joe Bugel needs to employ the "Thunderdome" technique in the search for our starting RT.

Just read that Jansen still considers himself as the starter. This is clearly the biggest question mark on the team by a wide margin and I'm starting to become more and more skeptical.

I guess there is still a long way to go before week 1?

So what's his deal exactly?

Yikes, check this out (I love Wikipedia by the way):

Bridges was arrested prior to the start of training camp for the 2007 season and charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedly pointing a gun at a woman in a strip club parking lot in Charlotte, North Carolina. After a trial in November 2007, he was found guilty and given a 60-day suspended sentence and one year unsupervised probation; he was also ordered to pay a $500 fine and do 60 hours of community service. The Panthers suspended him for two games for the incident.[1]

On Sunday, December 7, 2008, Bridges was arrested in Ballantyne, Charlotte, North Carolina and charged with simple assault and battery and communicating threats. The arrest stemmed from a confrontation at a local restaurant. The incident started when Bridges ordered a bottle of Dom Pérignon (wine) from the restaurant bar Saturday night and shook it up, causing the champagne to spew and get other patrons wet. The restaurant manager alleges that Bridges then got into a verbal confrontation with another patron and then a physical confrontation with the bouncer, at which time the police were called. Bridges admits that he shook and opened the champagne bottle, but denies any physical confrontation. He was released on $2,500 bond.[2] He was inactive for the Panthers' game on December 8, 2008, but it is unclear if he will face any more punishment from either the Panthers or the NFL.[3]

Sounds like a first class a-hole

Well at least it was a strip club parking lot and not at McDonalds like what Marcus Vick did. I mean you expect that sort of thing at a strip club not the golden arches.

The 2nd event was at a local restaurant though.

I don't care if the guy can keep his nose clean and play some ball.

What a character

Looks like a head case, more trouble than he is worth. If he can show that he can keep his act together sign him, but I think Matty is right and it will take alot more than just anger management to change that attitude.
