2013 Free Agents

can andre smith waltz around in our blocking scheme?

i have to admit, i haven't watched any tape on him, but i remember his rookie year on hard knocks, he had a massive rack. i wouldn't expect him to fit our scheme.

someone w more knowledge, shine some light upon my darkness.

Andre Smith is more of a power-blocking scheme o-lineman and he's built for that (335 lbs.)

bleacher report is terrible.

vollmer is a better RT, we don't need 2 safeties, and our #1 TE should be davis (though keller is one of two fallback options).

If we're tight on cash skip RT and look at hall or london to restructure or get cut (only if the money is needed and we have a viable replacement).

I doubt he hits the market, but if byrd is there, you gotta try to get him in.

re-sign polumbus.

starter or not, he's a great value.

As long as the RT is serviceable, that's all that matters. I'm willing to bet Mike Shanahan may draft a RT in the 3rd or 4th round to stabilize the RT position. A free agent will probably do, but a solid RT can be found in the draft.

Our franchise QB is coming off of a second major knee surgery and you don't think we should strengthen the o-line?

I thought that Polumbus played well late in the season and the Skins are high on Tom Compton, as well. Compton could compete for the starting job at RT in training camp. Based on the expected development of those two players, RT could be a stronger position next season.

Our franchise QB needs to learn how to slide, that has nothing to do with the o-line IMO.

Thats how he got injured this time, but he could get hurt in the pocket too. I agree with Mbender - we need to sure up the right side of the line. Coming off his second major knee injury, his protection should be priority one. Even if the oline can only help him when he isnt out in front of them so be it. When he is out in front of them -hell yeah he has to learn how to slide! Lol.

In defense of the link, it mentions that Vollmer is a better RT, just that he has a feeling that Smith will end up here, and that he also has really good and quick feet for a big guy. He also mentions that Delmas is a fall back option if we can't get Byrd. Keller is also mentioned as an option if we can't re-sign Fred.
