[quote=diehardskin2982;562844]true on not putting barnes on PS but Tryon on the other hand why not?[/quote]

Jerry Gray has said that Tryon is coming along very well and he thinks Tryon is going to be very, very good for a long time in this league. They will not put him on the PS.

It was on the Redskins Blog when Matt Terl interviewed Jerry Gray I think. I remember reading it somewhere.

Although I am 99% sure Jeremy Bridges will end up winning the RT spot..Are any of the FA's below a better option before the season starts?

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Levi Jones (LT) [/COLOR]- Talented, long-time starter for the Bengals, but has suffered through various injuries over the past few years which have limited his play.
[COLOR="DarkRed"]Mark Tauscher (RT) [/COLOR]- May not be ready to play until after the regular season starts.
[COLOR="DarkRed"]Jon Runyan (RT) [/COLOR]- He still wants to play one to two years and should be ready to go some time in July or so.
[COLOR="darkred"][Charles Spencer (LT/RT/G) [/COLOR]- Very talented and versatile, but hasn't been the same after suffering a horrific leg/knee injury during his rookie season with the Texans.

A) why do you think bridges will win the spot, not heyer?
B) Levi jones is the only one I would sign on that list, runyan I would sign if our tackles got injured during the season
C) I would definitly bring in derrick brooks at least for a workout he is a great OLB which we desperatly need

Re: Updated (06/12/09),defensive and offensive free agents
 

Whether bridges starts I can't say...but if the roster stays as it is i bet he'll get significant playing time time this year. Heyer has suffered injury every year, missing time, and Williams is such a longshot. I'd sign Jones even if it took the rest of our cap room...OL is still such a glaring weakness IMO.

I hate to say this, but with Samuels locked in at LT, and a slew of suitors for RT (with Heyer at the front), I doubt Jones would want to come here. I would want him here, I don't know if he would come here as a backup, unless the team would guarantee him a starting spot.

I'm sure you're exactly right Ruh. LJ basically has no reason to play for the Skins. He's a legit starter when healthy and someone will need a starter as we get closer to opening day.

Hopefully we get some really nice surprises this year: Samuels and Thomas back healthy, Rinehart/Heyer/Bridges/Williams much improved.

[quote=diehardskin2982;562826]Honestly there is no promise that Tryon or Barnes will beat out Smoot or Westbrook for a crack at the starting lineup... An invite to camp doesn't install you instantly in the final roster if you a vetran. It only sets you up with the opportunity to compete. A player like Chris McAllister, Samari Rolle, or Ty Law could come in here and make a positive impact. Filling the roll of the crafty vetran, who can cover the slot and spell Landry at Free Safety on occasion. All I'm worried about is a repeat of the last play of the Rams game last year, when tryon got burned on a game winning play ughh![/quote]

I believe Rolle is on the Ravens and I think we're good at corner and we don't need Law or McAllister for the one or two more years that they may be able to play. McAllister hasn't had a healthy year in a long time and Law hasn't played all that well since 2005. If they get put on the roster there's no guarantee a guy like Westbrook won't get picked up off the practice squad and we could lose a good young player. Also if they're on the roster and they get injured then we're short a good player. Lose reps in practice as well. Just overall don't think it's worth it bc I think we have a very solid secondary. Also, I'd much rather have Kareem Moore spelling Landry. I think Tryon will move another spot down on the depth chart and he's improved a lot according to Jerry Gray.
