Thats so true. We are deep at DT with Haynesworth, Griff, Monty,and Golston. Daniels, Lorenzo and Wynn could also slide inside as well.

Where's the H.B. Blades avatar?

Keeping Wynn helps Jarmon, Orakpo, with veteran leadership study and work habits. This will pay off throughout the year. Also there is not a tremendous drop off in defending the run when he gets into the game.

Maybe Washington's depth wasn't so bad after all

I'm not too pleased with the Skins giving up on Dixon and Chase. I'm scratching my head on Renaldo Wynn. What does he have, maybe one good year left on the bench? I would have kept the young defensive tackle Dixon with more promise. Please, oh please, don't let him become a pro bowler with Philly. That would really suck. The Redskins are taking a big chance going with only two quarterbacks. I'm surprised that the Skins thought Chase would be available for their practice squad. There are a lot of teams that need quarterbacks and the Redskins are one.

A touch dramatic, I mean he had good moments- I liked him, but in the end he was simply camp fodder that made a chance for himself. If he were to get to the ProBowl you would have to say congrats. I mean this isn't an Antonio Pierce or Ryan Clark who we had trained, developed and didn't want to pay. We have a solid rotation and, from the FO/Coaching perspective, he wasn't ready for that yet.

That would really suck. The Redskins are taking a big chance going with only two quarterbacks. I'm surprised that the Skins thought Chase would be available for their practice squad. There are a lot of teams that need quarterbacks and the Redskins are one.

I actually like this outcome the best. The chance of getting to the third qb on game day is really slim and ARE is there for that emergency. This really gave us flexibility for additional players at other spots.

Pretty dang excited for the season to begin.

I definitely agree about Dixon, I thought he outplayed Montgomery and I think we let a future starter walk to an Eagle team that scouts very well and has an eye for talent. That said there's a reason why Dixon wasn't drafted this year. According to RI we got Andre Woodson, who I think has potential similar to JC, but it might take a few years for him to develope into a starter. I'm still pissed we cut Bridges and kept Batsiste but I trust that Buges knows what he's doing.

We already have many defensive tackles. And Wynn can play end, which in my understanding Dixon cannot. So the Wynn/Dixon comparison is a little apples to oranges.

Deleted my post...starting a thread about the offensive line.

[Mechanix544]

So, whats the deal with Woodson? Is he any good? Can we trust him to at least close out a game if needed?

[CRedskinsRule]

Woodson is a scout team body. He will run the scout team this week. Since he is on the practice squad he is not technically the 3rd qb, and so he would not be called on to closeout a game. If he were called upon, it would be as second string to Collins because JC was hurt the week before. And in that case, I would think we would go out and get another veteran or call Chase from New Orleans PS before we actually used Woodson. But that's just my opinion

so why hasn't aldrige or dorsey been signed with us yet??

Their situation isn't much different in terms of 2009. They (the 49er's) have a LT they're very comfortable with and at the same time they like the guy playing RT so basically he would end up being a backup there to. Of course without Mr. Top 5 Crabtree in the mix I'd imagine the 49ers would have a little bit more cash floating around.
