MisterPinstripe Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Watched parts of some Pats games from 2014 on youtube, hes definitely able to hold his own. Didnt see him getting blown back, anchored well and kept the pocket clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I read was it was more to do with the Pats releasing him and being traded but that Scot M and company talked to him and he is all in with the trade. The word going around that it was due to concussion concerns is not true. We will see. Here is an article about the monetary concerns for Stork. If he retires he would have to repay some $238k. A 4th rd rookie contract is not exactly $Ms. That would be a lot of money. http://www.csnmidatlantic.com/washington-redskins/money-matters-storks-decision-play-redskins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roanoker Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 This is a good move. Low risk and possibly high reward. I have confidence in SM and I'm sure Callahan had input in this decision. Welcome to the Redskins Bryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong Direction Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 So this guy is young, cheap, and still got cut before SM swept in and got him for a conditional 7th. And this isn't worrisome to anyone? Low risk, I get, but definitely being cautious about this move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He violated the Patriot Way, he has an injury history, and was replaced last year by a "nobody" with no discernible drop-off. The Pats cut him because they are in dire need of roster spots due to their injury/suspension situation. But he is almost certainly the best C on our roster the moment he shows up.

I dont think he has gotten kicked from a game... maybe a few flags here and there, but I am ok with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I foresee a hefty fine for just violating the "spirit" of a concussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 If people were willing to spin Ribs stabbing someone as a kid as "it's good to have a mean steak on the OL" there shouldn't be anything worrisome about Stork. And yeah, he should beat out KL quite easily after a few weeks getting adjusted. If not...well then he really stinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on last year, Ribs is a decent backup C in a pinch, and his overall play is much, I say MUCH, more suited to our OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not the best C in the league by any means. But saying this guy is that much better when he could not even keep his starting position sounds more like you just don't like KL. With KL playing this team was #1 in rushing last year. He and SL went out almost exactly the same time. Yet everyone gives SL all the credit for the good running and KL all the blame for any rushing problems! He is also taking a beating for the GB game. He was out the entire season till that lat game and came into a PO game! Guys are rusty 1st gm back, even a couple when they are on line. KL will be the starting C at the start of the season. There is no way Stork comes in as the starting C with 2 weeks left in PS. You sign this guy now on a flyer with the expectation that he is depth for right now allowing you to move on JL (Do all Oline names start with L?), and maybe, maybe he breaks into the starting lineup later in the season. I tend to agree that KL will remain the starter at least until Stork gets acclimated and shows that he deserves to start. My question is whether you are okay with this trade to acquire Stork. Not only does he have a concussion history, he appears to have some "attitude" red flags that caused the Pats to dump him for a 7th rounder at the age of 25. I myself think a 7th rounder gamble for Stork is a good idea. A while back, I suggested that McCloughan should have used a 7th rounder in the 2015 draft on Lael Collins. If I recall correctly, you were very much against that idea because you considered Collins to be an "attitude" problem. So, do you feel the same way about the Skins using a 7th rounder to acquire Stork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaSkins21 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Has Stork reported yet? IIRC, yesterday Gruden was talking about a final decision or something along those lines that Stork has to make. I hope he does come because the interior of that OL is a mess.
