TE Jim Kleinsasser a Vikings

[Portis]

Since TE Jim Kleinsasser signed with Vikings, what other options do we have for Gibbs to run his offense? I thought Kleinsasser will be a skin and we would have an ideal TE for Gibbs blocking schemes. Since it’s no more possible should we draft Winslow?

Two words to keep an ear out for:


Walter - - - - Rasby.


He will come cheap and will do what the Joe Gibbs offense needs most from a TE. He will block like a third OT.

There is so guy from tenessse, i forget his name, but he is a big good blocking tight end.

The Tennessee Titans have announced the team has reached agreement on a multi-year contract with TE Erron Kinney.


There are a couple other guys I'd like to see the Redskins pursue. Check out my TE scouting report here:

Do we now consider Kellen Winslow Jr? I still think were alot better off taking a " Chance " on offense with a Robert Royal, a Walter Rasby, ect. I think we cant take the same " chance " with players on defense, so I would shy away from Winslow Jr. Anyways does anyone think we take him?

I'm hoping they pass on Winslow and go for Sean Taylor, Tommie Harris or another top defender. I just don't think they need Winslow as much as the guys they could get on defense who would have an immediate-- and much more necessary impact-- on offense. Of course, I didn't think it was "necessary" for them to get Mark Brunell, either...

Yep. I overlooked Rasby when I was doing my free agency scouting reports, but he would be a good fit. Spurrier let him go because he was a better blocker than a pass receiver (go figure!). The Saints picked him up, but now they have Ernie Conwell, David Sloan and Boo Williams, so there's no more room for Rasby.

Here's his profile:
