Posse81 Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 I never thought he was anything more than serviceable anyway..may not even make the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golgo-13 Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Good lord....is there any free agent out there that the Broncos haven't been involved with? Those guys are looking like us in 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 I liked Fischer as a backup. He could play for stretches at both Center and Guard. Right now, our only center is a guy who's a converted guard, albeit one who seems to be performing well right now. I remain concerned about our interior line.

bulldog Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 I think Fischer would have been resigned if he was really a step away from being a starting caliber player. Mark is an injury prone guy who has missed entire seasons and portions of others. At 26, I think we have seen the best and worst of him. At best he was serviceable for a few games, at worst he was a guy that at 293 got thrown around by solid interior defenders each week. I think the Brandt retirement hurt the Redskins because David was a young guy with some upside that played at a major school and showed he could tough things out with Marty. As a UDFA, he also came cheap. He waited until camp to retire and left the team in the lurch. If we had known his intention back in April we could have done something about it. Now, we are scrambling to find a center AND a guard. :mad: Tucker is supposedly understudying at center, but he has yet to show he has got the guard or tackle spots fully down yet. Asking a 23 year old UDFA to come in and save our bacon at a position almost completely new to him is asking a bit much. If Mark Stepnoski is still available as a backup candidate I might consider signing him to a one-year deal. At age 33, I think he can still play, albeit not for 16 games. And if Moore had to move outside to cover another injury, Mark could step in and do a credible job for 2 or 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigkatt Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Wilbert Brown played almost the entire game against SF and did a very credible job even though it was vs 2nd stringers. Looks like he will be the back up center this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 amazing. Brown gets signed from NFLE as an afterthought close to camp and he is the first option off the bench let's hope that says more about him than it does about the assembled quality of depth that was here :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
