I'd rather we snagged Ryan Harris from the Broncos. No matter WHO we have QBing, we don't have the kind of O-line depth to keep them out of a body bag this season.

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agents Rumors and Reports-Part 3
 

Tatupu is supposed to be coming for a visit after he finishes in Oakland. Could be the answer for the second ILB spot. I was hoping we would go after him when he got cut. Could be the last piece to the defense.
We also will be hosting CB Kelvin Harden.

Why not Bucs Ruud at ILB. Good motor and good player. Why look at a broken down guy?

Yea, I would have liked to see Ruud here also. But I still like Tatupu. I read somewhere that he only got cut because he wouldn't take a pay cut so he can't be that bad.

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agents Rumors and Reports-Part 3
 

Ruud signed with the Titans already. If we're bringing a veteran ILB, I would rather be a guy with 3-4 experience, not a 4-3 guy like Tatupu. Although with him, if he has knee issues, that's a huge concern.

He's still an upgrade over Henson, Riley, Alexander etc. And he seems pretty healthy having played all 16 games last season. I'm really pulling for this signing.

Yeah I heard on 980am today that both Hayden and Tutupu will be visiting the Skins this week. I don't see why Tutupu couldn't be a 3-4 ILB.

Found this over at ESPN.
[quote][I] 1. Lofa Tatupu is meeting with the Raiders on Monday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. NFL Network says Tatupu will go to Washington from there.

Not Stephon Heyer. Noo.

Hard to see that happening with Hall, Buchanon, Wilson and Barnes. Maybe the visit will happen but definitely not the signing.

Unless we can get Ryan Harris or Gaither i think Heyer is our next best option.

hopefully,the raiders will sign heyer,and that nightmare will be over.

[quote=mlmpetert;818146]Unless we can get Ryan Harris or Gaither i think Heyer is our next best option.[/quote]

Gaither already signed with the Raiders. And if we could get Ryan Harris here to backup Brown/Williams that'd be great. Heyer is very limited talent wise, and he's also the bigger/slower type that doesn't excel at zone blocking. In short, not a great fit.

A one year contract for Harris to play backup would be insane. However there's to many teams around the league that need to upgrade a starting tackle spot.

Redskins retain Buchanon.

This. While I am no great Heyer fan, we need tackle depth. News from camp is that Capers is struggling. Gaither is gone and Harris may not want to be a backup. Heyer's departure may not be the blessing it seems.

Not that I want him back... but given that he was an undrafted free agent, I'd say he had an OK career here.

He wasn't bad when he played guard for a spell.

I would actually prefer to keep him here -- he's not very high priced, provides decent depth, knows and is known by the other players...why get rid of him unless he wants a new contract?

Since he is a free agent, it is not that he WANTS a new contract - - he MUST HAVE a new contract.

[quote=EEich;818040]Hope they give Crowder a look... would much rather have him than Lofa.[/quote]

Crowder has done nothing. He has 2.5 sacks in six years. He's terrible and a cancer in the locker room. He's a Joey Porter wannabe with half the mouth and none of the talent. Unless we want more frustration, we don't want Crowder here.

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agents Rumors and Reports-Part 3
 

He's a middle linebacker... why would you expect high sack numbers? He's a run stuffer.

Channing Crowder should go to New England. His name always sounds like some horrible butchering of clam chowder.

He was pretty good for us last year. Let's hope he maintains his form.

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agents Rumors and Reports-Part 3
 

[quote=NC_Skins;818196]He wasn't bad when he played guard for a spell.[/quote]

I was thinking the same thing. He was VERY suprising at guard, sucks as a tackle but when he went in as a guard he seemd to be a little more effective. Not stellar, but effective.

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agents Rumors and Reports-Part 3
 

So if we are not gonna make a play for Orton, Bulger, etc. then we seriously need to get Rex into camp. Anybody know the hold up?

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agents Rumors and Reports-Part 3
 

Tatupu would be a great addition! Knee surgeries were minor; and I'd feel [B]way[/B] more comfortable starting him at ILB than Riley, Henson or Alexander.

Hayden would be a nice move, but nothing more than a 1-2 yr deal. Very underrated, and would arguably be the best CB we'd have.

CB's (If Hayden signs)

1. Hayden
2. Hall
3. Wilson
4. Buchannon
5. Barnes

It's a crowded group, but IMO Hayden, would be the best true Cover CB we'd have.

My man if hayden was that good a team as bad as the colts secondary wouldn't let him walk
