Redskins Add Offensive Line Depth

Anyone know anything about him? And please let's not get all worked up about this. It's a low risk off-season move that could result in nothing. But he's young and big (6'5", 338 lbs.) and made the Fox Sports All Rooke Team in 2005, so it looks like he could be some proimsing depth. I am just curious if anyone has any more details on him.

Re: Redskins Add Offensive Line Depth
 

Not familiar with him, but hopefully he'll add some depth to an already strong O-Line. I hope we can add some depth on that D-Line as well, I hope DT Alan Branch will be taken with that sixth pick, then add Clements and some other solid players to the secondary.

Haha. I know you are ;)

How did this guy make the all rookie team last season and is with no one this year? Thats kind of interesting.

Indeed.

I, like some, would like to totally freak but, lets just see...

Re: Redskins Add Offensive Line Depth
 

maybe some character issues?

Re: Redskins Add Offensive Line Depth
 

Here's a little info on him:

"There were many factors that played into the Packers dramatic drop from 3 time defending Northern Division Champions to cellar-dwellers in 2005. One of the most dramatic factors was the team's failure to field a pair of suitable guards after waving goodbye to 2 talented long time veterans, Marco Rivera and Mike Wahle.

GM Ted Thompson swung and missed at left guard with FA Adrian Klemm and Scott Wells, and swung and whiffed again at right guard with rookie 7th Rd. draft pick Will Whitticker[.] ... The best news in this story is that unlike desperation rookie starter Will Whitticker, all three of these rookie players have great upside potential."

Clearly a long shot, but who knows.

Re: Redskins Add Offensive Line Depth
 

Let Buges work on him for a while

Re: Redskins Add Offensive Line Depth
 

Lets just hope the Skins resign Todd Wade and we will only need one other lineman to have reasonable depth.

What I am worried about is I heard on 980 that the Skins and Dockery are very far apart on a potential deal - look like the Redskins will have to break the bank on Dockery and pony up 10 bills in signing bonus to keep him along with a bunch of restructured contracts.

Re: Redskins Add Offensive Line Depth
 

Whatever they have to do, do it. This is a move that will speak volumes about how the front office and coaches view their home grown players.

Yeah I heard that too. Lets hope that Skins are working on restructuring other contracts to make room for Dock.

Re: Redskins Add Offensive Line Depth
 

I'm talking that even if it means they can't sign a Clements or anyone, they need to resign Dock.

Yup. They need to show the home-growns the same (or better) respect than the out of towners. Hell, fire up Redskin 1 even if it is just to fly from Dulles to Reagan National.

WAIT -- Has the appropriate time elapsed so we can comment on this signing? Remember, there are serious ramifications regarding any theories, thoughts, ponderings or postulations of free agent acquistions before the accepted time frame -- whatever that is.

After all, the sheer brilliance and all-encompassing forsight of this front office is [B]NOT[/B] to be questioned.

Sorry ... couldn't resist. I'll stop.

Would probably get there quicker...

Seriously, I mean Samuels got paid, now it's time to get a deal a little less than Samuels considering Dock hasn't made the Pro Bowl.

Nice to see we're not overstating things.
