First "moves" of the Shanahan era?

Alridge has played for Shanahan before and will be in camp.

Well, it's basically our practice squad plus Alridge who we waived, I think. I doubt Snyder assembled the practice squad.

Come on. Open your eyes to the conspiracy man.

This is a first...I have never heard the term futures contract in the NFL before.

Oldenburg, the one lineman:

SI.com - 2007 NFL Draft - Clint Oldenburg

BIOGRAPHY: Former tight end who's started the past three years at both guard and tackle. Previous All-Conference selection.

Quote:

POSITIVES: Good-sized blocker with nice strength at the point of attack. Quickly gets into blocks, stays square and is large enough to engulf opponents. Jolts defenders at the point, moves them off the line or easily knocks them from their angle of attack. Keeps his feet moving throughout the action and effectively uses angles.

NEGATIVES: Lacks solid fundamentals, struggles in space and shows limited ability blocking in motion. Does too much leaning on opponents and tends to play tall.

ANALYSIS: A nice-sized athlete with natural strength, Oldenburg is a developmental prospect who must improve his mechanics to have any shot in the NFL.

Clint Oldenburg - #76 - OL - Colorado State - Profile

Meet the Rookies - OL Clint Oldenburg
Minnesota Vikings: Clint Oldenburg

He's been around.

Pats, Broncos, Jets, Vikings, Redskins...

Don't be surprised to see Alridge as the primary backup/change of pace back next year. Shanny was ready to name him the starter coming out of preseason in '07 before he got injured.

Shanny has had quite a talent for developing running backs

I hope he can bring in the "plug in anybody for an instant 1,000 yard rusher" system to us like he ran in Denver.

HELL yes!

At least we know what Mike and Danny were talking about yesterday.

Alridge dosen't surprise me in that it was Snanahan who put Vinny wise to him. If Shahahan becomes the coach he'll probably find a way to use him where the previous staff only found fault.

CRedskinsRule · 01-05-2010, 03:47 PM

Who is Snanahan (I like it)

KLHJ2 · 01-05-2010, 03:48 PM

Isn't he the same guy that had fumble issues in practice last pre-season?
