Portis said that for the OL we are searching for one or two diamonds in the rough. Apparently the plan is to polish many stones, looking for one to be that diamond. Given that many of these "warm bodies" can play tackle, the RT problem MAY have been solved. It seems that we have many RG fill-ins, anyway, should Thomas get hurt/still be hurt.

September is also a long time away and more obvious FA prospects may arise before then. The optimist in me recognizes that the FO is at least trying to fix the right side of the line rather than just sitting on their hands.

Maybe you're looking for something that isn't there. Without Dock falling into their laps do you really think the FO would have signed any real OL talent this off-season?

Joe Jacoby was an undrafted free agent signing..

the best scenario..Heyer starting..and not looking over his shoulder..
the O-line will mesh...

the Skins were so right in building the Defense they way they have..a pedestrian offense can win with them...but a pedestrian offense will put both Zorn and Campbell on very shaky ground

Every team has a weakness/weak link somewhere. Our most glaring weak link right now appears to be OL, RT being the biggest question mark. But look we do have 2 guys on our team that have started for us, plus a few others with starts in multiple years for other teams. I believe that on paper this is our most complete team in years and if none of these new additions work out, we should still have enough cap room to sign someone else should anyone be waived soon. So I have NO problem at all with the signings of, Williams, Bridges, Kelly, Hackett, etc. to add depth and compete for a roster spot. Keep bringing in guys until we find that diamond Clinton is looking for. But damn Clinton, just look in the mirror, you normally have a few huge ones in those ears!

As long as he's focused on football this could be a good pickup, but right now this is no more than a depth signing. He has some RT experience, but right now I see him as the backup to Thomas at RG in case Thomas gets hurt.

Make sure you guys remember I said this week 1 Jeremy Bridges will be the starting RT, Heyer will be backing up at RT & LT, Jansen will be back up RT & C

I like this. He has anger issues, which I like in a football player, could potentially land a job and he has an NFL resume.

He needs to keep his shit together; there's a lot more trouble that you can get into in DC than Charlotte.

Just have to keep him away from alcohol. He's one of those guys who is sweet when sober but hell on wheels when tanked.

Or...to try another tack...maybe we GET HIM buzzed on gamedays?

So you're saying give him a few and "Unleash the Beast?"

I imagine he'd play like Incognito of the Rams. I still can't get over what a moron that guy is.

Yeah, but fewer strip clubs. lol. regulate his alcohol and let him learn from Buges and release his frustrations on opponants.

If he can stay out of trouble and focus on football I would put my early money on him being the starting RT come opening day.
