Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown

[The Goat]

Like the move to get Brown, but we have to stop trading away picks for players.

I think we can completely put to rest the notion the Redskins are rebuilding. This is a win now strategy, which makes the defensive switch even more perplexing.

This pick isn't a win now move it's a fix a the O-lines troubles. This a good move we needed to make. Also I want to win now I'm tired of losing.

Yeah, I don't think this hurts the future. I think it is a win now and win later move. Love it!

I would not be surprised if Shanny didn't already have something up his sleeve to trade Haynesworth away to recoup picks from what was lost from this trade with the Saints. This ain't a Cerrato run organization anymore....

Mr. Smithers would have given up two second round picks for this guy.

Cheers Bruce Allen! Thank you for understanding the concept of trade value.

This could be huge!

Thats why you have the Capitals. If you want to see a team that likes build through the draft, develop young talent, and bring in a few savy veterans each year then you get to follow the Caps. If you like savy moves that are geared more towards experienced veterans then you get to follow the Redskins for 2010 onward. It's the best of both worlds just in different sports.

I really hate giving away draft picks, but we did get a pick back. That said, we've got a big upgrade on the line. I'll take it.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Agreed hell of a job getting this done. We add nice depth to our line and who knows that we are done adding pieces, there are probably a few more tricks up our fo's sleeves.

[rbanerjee23]

Yeah...I could completely see Shanny making the move now in particular b/c AH will be out of town before training camp with those lost picks having been recouped. Effectively a Jammal Brown for AH trade which is pretty nice given the circumstances

[SmootSmack]

I feel like I've been talking about this trade forever, was starting to think it might not happen

[Paintrain]

I'm good with the trade.. A 3rd or 4th round pick for a former Pro Bowl LT that we're going to play on the right side? I'm sure an extension is coming that will set our edges for the next 4 years.. Can anyone deny that we've dramatically improved the OL?

[FRPLG]

Now we have officially improved our line. A line of
Williams, Dockery, Rabach, Williams, Heyer was no better than we had last year when Samuels was healthy...and it wasn't very good.

Swapping Brown for Heyer is a big upgrade...really it is. Now the weak link is Rabach and we can live with that.

I'm not too well-versed in the Shanahan offense, but I wonder if his different blocking schemes work better to Rabach's strengths? I'd love to hear what GTripp thinks about this. I know he and I are on the same page with our disdain for the man.

Wow, log on to the warpath and hear this news. Really happy,this is something ive been hoping for and thought there was no chance at this point. Brown is obviously not a sure thing but ill be able to sleep a lot better at night.
