We've got big trouble on the OL.

[The Goat]

Hehe

[mbedner3420]

Damn. I was hoping balmer was going to make the team. Wonder if he's mad about reps... Like the udfa RB from last year (or the year before) that skip out...

[T.O.Killa]

Have there been any updates on Willie Smith.

[T.O.Killa]

I was hoping someone knew something about Willie Smith. Shannahan said that Chris Baker has a huge upside and has lost thirty pounds

apparently he is out there but have a shitty camp so far. He is probably still butthurt from getting run over by Rob Action Jackson

Chris Baker is a solid player, i think he will make the squad and potentially get solid reps in games.

In other words, he's gone from having a huge backside to having a huge upside.

[T.O.Killa]

Thats what I was affraid of, because they have just stopped talking about him all together. He is not mentioned anymore in any speculation of who will replace Brown. If that is the case, thats a shame. I had high hopes for him.

Kentwan Balmer = major bust. What a waste of talent. With multiple chances the dude still can't get his act together.

Was told BOTH of Brown's hips are F'd and he needs to be cut. Sad, but he is 31 so I doubt he'll ever be healthy. A lot of cap space we can save too if we cut him.

I wholeheartedly agree. Remember what Mike Shanahan said about Jammal Brown earlier in the off season. Brown was going to have to prove that he could stay healthy in order to make the Redskins roster in 2012. When we read reports around two months ago that Brown was taking Yoga courses, was attaining his flexibility, strengthening his bad hip, and was feeling great, we all thought that he had finally put his injury behind him. We were wrong.

After spending the last two seasons on IR, Brown needs to do something and he hasn't shown that he's the equivalent of the 3rd round pick that Bruce Allen traded to the Saints to get him.

i knew this was gonna happen.

we missed veteran OL signings like Jeff Otah, Jeff Saturday, Carl Nicks.
that cap penalty KILLED US.

[SFREDSKIN]

They should go ahead and cut Brown and give Polumbus or Smith a chance to win the RT position. I still think Smith can surprise, let's give him a chance when the games begin. If neither pans out, then when the 53 man roster cuts occur someone will be available from another team. I'm not worried.

There's already been a report that Tyler Polumbus was receiving reps at right tackle in place of Jammal Brown. No word on Willie Smith though.

[RGIII]

There's always a chance to sign guys from other teams' practice squads...

[TheMalcolmConnection]

At this point I'm actually OK with signing some of those aging guys (even if they're a bad fit for the ZBS) to have an actual starter. I was fine with Polumbus last year, but reading about guys who are going to get cut owning him... makes me a little nervous.
