Well, a lot of people's solution for our offensive line woes doesn't look like it will happen.

The Cards are much better situated at OT than we are...not even comparable really. If they "outbid" us for Levi Jones, assuming he's cut, i'd say the FO is resigned to gamble the season on our faltering o-line once again.

...btw it sounded like good news re Jones' injury status. Also very encouraging he didn't come out saying he would only play LT for LT type money...but the FO should still pony up and pay the guy. I keep thinking this is how we'll know if things are changing for the better in Redskins Land

I absolutely agree. I will feel so much better if we sign a capable RT.

Yes!

He's supposedly now back to his playing weight while in Buffalo and would like to lose 50 more lbs.

Then over the weekend I heard or read how he is like 410lbs and over weight. What gives?

When thinking about it JC and only having 1 3/4 yrs playing is kinda short. However I thought he had more then that. I keep hearing how JC has not had 2 yrs in the same system and this would be his first time. For whatever reason I thought he had 2 or atleast 1 3/4 yrs under AS. Did he not play 3/4 of a yr and get hurt. Then the next yr come back and play a full yr under AS? This will be his 2nd yr under Zorn. At some point I have to feel like Zorn does....JC is a proffessional, I'm sure his system changed from high school to college, he changed systems often in college, if anything all the changing has tought him to learn the plays faster and learn how to over come the fact of having to learn every yr.

Yes it would be nice to see JC play the same offense 3+ yrs to see what he can offer like Eli Manning. But you have to play with the hand your dealt. If nothing else it will make him a good Journey man. I like JC, I'm just concerned about his ability to read defenses and his 2min drill. Coach Zorn can find a way to play to the strenghts of JC. If all he's really good at is intermediate throws then give him intermediate throws mostly. Have him throwing short passes all summer to get him to learn how to finess the ball to the WR/TE.

Oh well my soap box.

man you guys really can bring a Campbell argument into any thread

Williams is down to 404 Lbs! Check this:

Hey the guy sounds motivated. Sounds like he realizes this could be his last shot.

[vallin21]

I think he could be a great pickup given that he can keep his weight in check. If he's motivated I think he can be our starting RT Opening Day.

[GTripp0012]

I could see Williams as a successful Guard in the Dockery mold, but we're stocked at that position with mediocre players. This would have been an interesting thing to try back in 2007 instead. Now, I think he's just got no spot on this team, even if he is improved. He's just not a tackle, in any way, shape, or form.

Here's a recent picture of Big Mike. He really doesn't look to out of shape but then you look at Chris Samuals and Randy Thomas pics and wonder are they to small or is Williams to big. Samuals though looks like the type that waits for the season to start packing on the pounds. If anything he looks like he weighs around 250 at most in his pic.
