Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown

a statement Brown made, from matt mosley's blog on espn... don't know if it has been posted yet, but i love his attitude. taking the anti-albert approach.

"I just think coming here, playing for Coach [Mike] Shanahan -- I watched him in Denver -- I like the scheme of offense that he runs. The zones, things like that," Brown told the Post on Saturday. "I'm gonna come in; they want me to play right tackle.I still think I'm a left tackle, but I'm going to do what they want me to do. I know they got my college teammate Trent [Williams] on the left side. We'll see how that all plays out. But I'm going to play wherever they want me to play. I'm just excited to be here and to be a part of a first-class program."

hopefully we can move Capers back to tight end now!?

sounds like he's on board w/ the program. isn't he going to want a new deal that has left tackle money?

I'm glad Brown is aboard, he's an improvement over anyone we currently have at the position. Contract will be the thing of interest going foreward, he's looking for a long term deal, remaining healthy will be the determining factor. His ability at his position is unquestioned.

Love this move. As long as the coaches can get TW up to speed we'll now have a legit pair of tackles for the first time since Samuels and Jansen were both in their prime. I also love that Hicks can now shift inside to RG.

Suddenly, depth along the o/line is looking much better. Could now go from our weakest to our strongest save for good health.

John Stinchcomb did this past year.

Look at the history, it is very unusual. In light of Stinchcomb, I don't think that being Drew Brees's RT on an almost undefeated team had anything to do with that. :rolleyes:

Let's not forget that we're putting a rookie at LT.

I am more appreciative of how Mr Allen has only commited to one year deals with alot of these positive additions. If they prove themselves and stay injury free, they could have great success with the Redskins orginization.

Well alot of that is probably due to the uncertainty surrounding the CBA, teams have to be in wait and see mode.

If a Redskins tackle goes to the pro bowl this year, it will almost certainly be Trent Williams. Of course, it takes 2 to 3 years for popular opinion of a lineman's play to permeate throughout the league, so in other words, we're not sending a lineman to the pro bowl this year.

I admittedly didnt watch more than a handful of saints games but what is up with all this love for bushrod. he ranked right there in the bottom of O lineman with heyer and levi jones in terms of grading, winning at the poa, etc.

read that brown likes and thinks he will be a good fit for what shanny and kyle want to do blocking wise. any insight or opinions from anyone who knows jamall browns game and skills?
