inmate running the asylum Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 :dallasuck I dont know about you guys, but with the retirement of Ray Brown, I think the Redskins also need to sign a free agent 3rd offensive tackle. At least as a backup tackle. I dont like the idea of going with a rookie tackle as our primary backup and Jim Molinaro has played in very few regular season games. And as I recall last summer in an exhibition game against the Ravens, DT Jarret Johnson had him for lunch. And Johnson is not exactly a household name in NFL circles. :laugh: If Chris Samuels or John Jansen goes down with an injury for any length of time, we could be in a world of hurt. So here are the best offensive tackles still available in free agency. Because I prefer a younger guy who preferably can play multiple positions for a number of years, I would go for Matt Stinchcomb. He may not be the best tackle out there -- which at least would make him cheaper -- but he is not an old geezer and can play both the guard and tackle positions. What do you guys think? Matt Stinchcomb - 29 http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/133423 Others still available: Brad Hopkins - 36 Damion McIntosh - 29 Ephram Salaam - 30 Jacob Rogers - 25 - is he still injured? microfracture surgery Mike Pearson - 26 Orlando Brown - 36 Scott Gragg - 34 Stockar McDougle 29 Todd Steussie - 36 Tuten Reyes - 29 Victor Riley - 32 Anthony Clement - 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USDsk8ter123 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 didnt we just sign a couple guys that are a reliable backup anywhere on the offensive line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxpunk2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 didnt we just sign a couple guys that are a reliable backup anywhere on the offensive line? We signed them but I don't know how reliable they are. That and they are G/C more than OT. Anyone who couldn't start on Houston's line doesn't even belong on our practice squad.

RammsteinSkins Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I'd go with Brad Hopkins he is plat out GOOD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 didnt we just sign a couple guys that are a reliable backup anywhere on the offensive line? Yes we did. The only lineman i would want for vet minimum is Orlando Browns old arse, and thats just casue he's 360lbs and would create a huge hole. We are fine at lineman, draft another one if we need one that bad. I want just one more hard working, overachieving corner that we wouldnt have to pay much.

CalSkinsFan Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Yes Pucillo is C/G, Walter is a G/T (but probably best suited to G). I am not at all comfortable with the current T situation. That said, there are some pretty good names on that list. Many seem to be on the downside of their careers, but still should be able to provide a solid year or two of back-up duty. Fortunately, Samuals and Jansen have been fairly solid as far as injuries go. My guess is the team will wait until after the draft, where they will pick a couple of prospects, then add a vet or two to compete for one or two roster spots. But I'm sure if there is somebody they like at reasonable price, they would sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskeypeet Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Not that a rookie is necessarily the answer but I dont think we can rule out O-Linemen with the 2nd round pick just yet either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
