MRMADD Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I'd take him in a second -- at veteran minimum. If he survives camp (and at his age/weight, that's a big if), he's much better and more experienced depth than anyone else on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Joe Hog Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 That article says he's 35 and carrying 385 lbs. That's not a good combination. Are you kidding? It would take at least ten seconds for a Defensive End to run around somebody as wide as Kennedy must be now. But seriously, experience and talent count. Ray Brown was a very valuable player for us last season. If Kennedy is all healed up, rested, and can get in halfway decent shape, he could be an important OL reserve. He probably has time to learn the plays and get in shape because he may not be needed until late in the season, if then. It could turn out to be a good move.

da#1skinsfan Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Why wouldnt we take a look? Why are you people freaking out? Its not like we're trading Samuels for him. What has our experience been thus far with old, experienced guys? GREAT. What do we have to lose, really??? We need OL depth too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtandler Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 You have to take "Insiders/Scout" with a grain of salt now.... since they reported that Brunell was going to retire a few weeks ago too. We reported no such thing. Please provide the link if you believe that we did. It made the rounds on the message board, but we all know how that stuff goes.

redskin mark Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Offensive Tackle Depth An Offseason Focus By Gary Fitzgerald Redskins.com May 24, 2006 For most of the last six years, Chris Samuels and Jon Jansen have been mainstays of the Redskins' offensive line. Only in 2004, when Jansen suffered an Achilles injury that sidelined him for the entire season, did the Redskins have a different set of bookend tackles: Samuels and veteran Ray Brown. Brown has since retired from football. For coaches, one of the top off-season priorities is to identify reliable backup tackles. Jim Molinaro (Don Wright Photo) Assistant head coach-offense Joe Bugel, a long-time offensive line guru, has an inexperienced group of backup tackles to work with right now. Jim Molinaro, the Redskins' sixth-round draft pick in 2004, is entering his third season with the team. He was listed as the backup to Samuels last season, but he saw limited action on game day. Instead, Molinaro continued to develop his skills on the Redskins Park practice fields. The 6-6, 310-pounder recognizes that this coming season could be a pivotal one for him. Last year, if Samuels or Jansen had been injured, coaches would have turned to Brown, at least as a short-term solution. This year, it's Molinaro who could get the call. "For my career, it's time for me to step forward and show these coaches what I can do," he said................ Another candidate at tackle is newcomer Jonta Woodard, a first-year player out of Louisville who hopes to establish himself in the NFL. The last two years, Woodard started at left tackle for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the Canadian Football League. Both head coach Joe Gibbs and director of pro personnel Louis Riddick have mentioned the 6-5, 325-pound Woodard as an intriguing prospect. Coming out of college, Woodard's NFL career was sidetracked due to a legal matter in Louisville. Woodard regards his experience playing in the CFL as a "tune-up" for the NFL. "The CFL is a step faster than college, but it's a step slower than the NFL," he said. "So I still have to get used to playing at this level. Over there, there were players at certain positions who were good, but in the NFL, every player at every position is good." Jonta Woodard (Gary Fitzgerald Photo) "I feel like I'm picking the offense up pretty well," he said. "I'm a strong guy, but I feel like I'm also quick coming off the line. It's all technique and knowing the blocking schemes." Another newcomer competing for a job at tackle is Kili Lefotu, the Redskins' seventh-round draft pick out of Arizona. Team officials like Lefotu's versatility--he played guard, center and some tackle in college-and it's expected that the 6-5, 315-pounder will be in the mix for a backup job at several positions along the offensive line. Jon Alston, a 6-5, 306-pound offensive lineman, spent the 2005 season developing his skills on the practice squad. At the recently concluded Rookie Camp on May 5-7, coaches had Alston line up at right guard, but he has the size and versatility to play outside as well. The Redskins also signed undrafted rookie Chris Pino in early May to compete for a roster spot at tackle. Pino, 6-4 and 315 pounds, played his college ball at San Diego State. He has reportedly battled weight issues in the past, but he has surprising mobility for his size. Other linemen on the roster, such as veteran newcomers Mike Pucillo and Tyson Walter and young players Ikechuku Ndukwe and Jasper Harvey, have experience mostly at guard or center. They may also need to display versatility in order to secure a roster spot in training camp. You're right we need depth at o-line, but I wouldn't pick up a retired lineman with a noticable limp when I've got these studs in the wings.

Califan007 The Constipated Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 a look never hurt anyone unless you looked at medusa.... if he sucks hey let him go try out for dallas,if the coaches think he would be good depth....hey sign him up. one can never have to little depth. Actually, you CAN easily have too little depth...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsFan72 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 trying out doesnt cost the Skins anything. If nothing else he can be a 2nd or 3rd stringer signed to a 1 year contract for the veteran minimum. Itll be peanuts to pay if he actually shows enough to warrant a spot on the team, even if its in a reserve role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 the truth of the matter is very few teams in the NFL have a solid starting 5 on the offensive line as the Redskins do. and even fewer have a solid 5 plus capable depth. the Redskins are going to have to be creative at the backup spots because right now all it is a bunch of rookies and first year players and veteran backups like Pucillo and Walter that were not retained by their former clubs.
