Welcome back Anthony Alridge.........

The team loses an offensive lineman for the year and they sign a 5th running back? I quit trying to make sense of the Redskin moves. This organization is just as dysfunctional as the Raiders. I hope for the best but I'm scratching my head again. This makes about as much sense as signing an offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator before searching for a head coach. No experienced head coach wants the job, so you offer the head coaching job to the guy you named offensive coordinator. The only problem is, this offensive coordinator has no experience running an offense or team. Scratching my head, scratching my head...

Well this may sound crazy but...we can't seem to run between the tackles....and I don't think any of our backs has the speed to get around the edge quick enough to make any positive plays. I think and hope that this can help our offense a bit.

And once again, I may sound crazy, but I don't mind the team taking its time to sign an o-lineman...I mean we all know what happened with knee-jerk reactions (i.e. Duckett and Jason Taylor).

Furthermore, with this o-line business, I can't believe some people are not practicing what they preach (build through the draft, blah blah blah!).

you sign an olineman becuase our o line is aged and injury prone. it bit us last year and it will bite us again this year if we don't do something.

please tell me we are gonna ship overpaid betts somewhere and pick up another fatty bring kendall back or something. if we don't we will wish we did

So bring back a guy who would be older than anyone else on the line and has not one but TWO bad knees to provide depth at a position he doesn't play. Explain how that makes us better.

Im thinking Betts before Rock, at least Rock will tackle someone on coverage teams. Does anyone think a team will give up anything for either Rock and/or Betts?
I'll trade you an old George Foreman grill for Betts...lol

quoting one post that none of our backs have the speed to hit the corner ........................ uhhhhh i dunno bout that and we'd be in serious trouble if we couldnt hit a effin pitch out here and there .... the play-calling on the plays u describe as not-working just shows how terrible the timing is on the play-calls...

plus i remember CP hitting the edge a few times in the past 2 weeks.

Ever pay attention to moves around the league? Guys go on IR and teams don't always sign the same position to replace them.

Good call AMD!

Interesting move. Didn't really make sense to bring in another lineman because they would just sit on the bench. At least with Alridge he can play teams.

I suppose it's likely that Mason will return to the inactive roster for now. Though Rock can't feel too good, especially after he was just told that moving forward he will be sharing kick return responsibilities with Devin Thomas.

But the most interesting part of this move...which head coach is on the hot seat?....and who is a rumored former head coach to replace him?....and which former head coach rumored to replace current head coach on the hot seat highly recommended Anthony Alridge to the Redskins? Just saying

So to re-state your point (paraphrasing and taking liberties with verbage):

our oldest lineman, after the off-season purge, went on IR as expected, so now, rather than rely on the young lineman we have developed for this expected occurrence, we should go out and re-sign the older lineman we purged.

in response:

our starting line's age is now:

Heyer - 25
Rinehart - 24
Rabach - 31
Dockery - 29
Samuels - 32

I don't think that is old. Injury prone perhaps (Samuels, Rinehart) but it's definitely a younger line.

Good call AMD!

I see you are in offseason rumor mill form there SS. LOL. :laughing-

I feel like AA brings something that we did not have before, a true change of pace back. I dont agree with signing an aging replacement in Kendall. Rinehart and both Williams' have been inactive on Sundays, it makes sense to plug one of them into the opening. Rinehart makes sense, its a guy that we drafted, and have groomed for this occurence. If we did sign another lineman at this point, he would only be sitting the bench anyways. If there was someone out there that would start in front of Rinehart/Williams/Williams he would be here already.

But....no way do we need 5 running backs, there has gotta be a trade in the works.

So bring back a guy who would be older than anyone else on the line and has not one but TWO bad knees to provide depth at a position he doesn't play. Explain how that makes us better.


I totally agree with you, but I'll play devil's advocate.....Kendall knows the offense already. I think thats why people are even mentioning his name.
