This move confirms for me that we will stick with what we have. So, no solid moves in FA for the line.

Ok im officially loss on all these Tackle signings. Makes no sense.

[12thMan]

Makes perfect sense. Not all of them will make the team, but the position will be better as a result of competition.

I'm actually OKAY with Polumbus coming back.

Talks to the faith they have in Compton.


Polumbus is horrible at pass protection. RG3 coming off major knee surgury...Polumbus is certainly not the answer. not bright

LOL. Hopefully none of these signing have guaranteed money.

[12thMan]

Let's give Polumbus another shot to start the season. If he's that horrible, he could always lose the job later on.

I don't think it's that reflection, as much as we need two to stick, the starter and the backup. So get enough competition to make sure we cover depth as well. It's really just how this FO has handle every week area (on offense) that we have had.

I have said this before, I think you see Shanahan's ego more on Defense where he gets one guy, and trusts his instincts that he is the player they want, as opposed to offense, where every year we see positions that look like a bunch of mush, and pick the best from it. It's happened at RB, WR, and now RT. No defensive position, that I remember, has gotten nearly the sign a ton, and let the cream rise, as the offensive talent. I wish it would, atleast CB and safeties.

I'm with you despite the fact that I think Polumbus sux in pass pro. Given our $$$ scene, we have little choice but to add cheap talent and hope that some cream rises to the top. Besides, there is still is a long way to go before the season opener and some old vet tackles who are still good always end up in summer cuts from other teams.

Competition is good, hopefully Compton can rise up.

of course not, he's borderline horrible. guy can run block ok. thats it.


So lets gets this straight....We've signed 3 vetern Tackles, bringing back Hurt and a rookie who Shanny wanted in Compton last year for competition at the Tackle spot....meanwhile no signings of vetern secondary players. So that means we are happy with the weakest part of the team last year...?

[ArtMonkDrillz]

This is probably a really dumb question so if they answer is as simple as "No, they can't do that" that's good enough for me, but could the Skins sign a FA to a 'back-loaded' deal that keeps them under the cap for this year but pushes guaranteed money into next season?

I'd have to assume not but I just figured I'd ask.

[12thMan]

Skins avg. 4.7 yards per carry on non-quarterback carries.
