sean_e_b Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Mar 13 David Elfin, of the Washington Times, reports the Washington Redskins may have a visit with free agent OL Jeff Mitchell (Panthers). Jeff should be a good depth signing. I'm guessing he can play many positions on the OLine. The problem is his age but as a backup may not be a bad pickup.

F Landry Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Could someone give us some information about this guy? I haven't heard much about him at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1SkinsFan Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Yes. Adding more depth to our o-line. I think we found a ray brown replacement. Here's the player profile on him. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/stats?playerId=1710 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Good idea right here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I heard this yesterday we might be looking at him. Good for depth. Elfin is an idiot though. yesterday he was saying he just spoke w/ El who said he didn't sign w/ us. Elfin is usually wrong on these things if I am not mistaken, so you can really only take what he says at face value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VI_SkinsFan Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 This would be a good move. I'm guessing if Snyder is pursuing Mitchell, then we're probably gonna sign him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terpfan Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 This guy would be a SWEET signing. Exactly what we need along the O-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 He was the starting center for the panthers last year. Started all 16 games two seasons in a row. 6'4, 300 lbs, 9 years experience. He's very stable, just look at his starts and games played throught his career. http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/3977 Raymer replacement, that's what it looks like.

SaltySpice1028 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Here's the scouting report on him: Takes good angles to blocks and generally does a good job of cutting linebackers off at the second level. Shows good body control in space and has the lateral mobility to adjust to the moving target at the second level. Has above-average range and is capable of pulling and trapping effectively. However, Mitchell is undersized and he is far more effective when he is uncovered than when a massive two-gap defenders line up over his head. Lacks ideal bulk, isn't going to engulf many defenders at the point of attack and isn't going to wear many defenders down over the course of the game. Doesn't have great lower body strength, doesn't play with great leverage and can't push the pile in the running game. He sounds like a decent backup and he can play guard and center. I assume they can get him for relatively cheap, so it would be a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorPickSix Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 mmm depth. very good. very good indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangee7 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Going into his 10th year...this guy has been a career starter. He's listed #1 on Carolina's Depth Chart at Center. Wonder if he or Rabach can play Guard as well. Will there be competition at Center?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfin is usually wrong on these things if I am not mistaken, so you can really only take what he says at face value. That's not quite fair...Elfin most likely did hear this straight from RE himself. Remember, RE left without anything official. When Elfin reported it, it was probably accurate. But as we all know, the 'Skins do move at the speed of light! Reports 10 minutes old are yesterday's news around here !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Sick Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 He can't be any worse than Raymer. We'll have at least one of these veteran-types, as well as a couple younger guys to groom into shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholSkin Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Securing some needed depth on the O line will make me feel a lot better about a run deep into the playoffs. Whew... get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sire Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Am I that old? The guys only 3 days older than me. We need depth on the O-Line and Mitchell would be a good pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football old, especially for an Offensive Lineman because they take a bigger beating than any other player and have the shortest careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinnedAussie Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 The thing that people are overlooking is that Dock is yet to sign his offer sheet. Unless he has done so within the last 36 hours, Mitchell could be looked at as Dock's replacement, or we could move Rabach one spot to the left, and slot Mitchell in to centre.

Dockery has signed the offer sheet, he just hasnt signed a long term deal. Dock will be with us at least next season unless someone wants to give up a first rounder for him. And hell; I'd probably trade Dock for Mitchell and a first. EDIT: Well its not really that he signed an offer sheet, we tendered him. The only offer sheets he would sign would be with another club, but that probably wont happen since no one wants to give up a first for him.

I've read nothing more than this: http://kffl.com/player/5927/nfl Redskins | Dockery has not signed tender Fri, 10 Mar 2006 19:25:15 -0800 Jason La Canfora, of the Washington Post, reports, contrary to earlier reports, Washington Redskins restricted free agent OL Derrick Dockery has not yet signed his tender offer. He was offered a one-year tender that would require a first-round draft pick as compensation should he sign with another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
