REDMAN7 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I suspect Don Warren had something to do with spotting these two OL. Warren played at San Diego State and of course was recently added as a scout for the Skins.:applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Joe Gibbs added scouts to the front office and no doubt there are payoffs to having more experienced eyes out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrhetzler Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I just hope this means that the Redskins' organization is actually able to evaluate AND develop talent. In years past, we would've looked in the free agent market (and probably would've over-paid for a washed-up, old O lineman). I hope this is true.

Kindred Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I love the fact that these 2 already have chemistry and a working relationship between them. I'm willing to go out on a limb and say we have 2 sleepers here who will be cornerstones of our O-line in the future. Good find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worstSeat Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 One thing about old Boss Hog. He knows OL line talent when he sees it because he's coached some of the best (and worst) in history. If he says they are special, they are. Yeah, either that or he's hoping some positive feedback -- but also some pressure to perform by making expectations public -- will keep the fires burning. What, Buges is going to lose stature because he tried to talk two players into becoming better and they don't? Pretty safe bet to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poidog22 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 That's good news, I hope they keep developing and don't hit the rookie wall in their progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BIGJoeSalave'a Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Joe Gibbs added scouts to the front office and no doubt there are payoffs to having more experienced eyes out there The Numero Uno of the scouting dept. who discovered many hidden talents is Louis Riddick.

turbodiesel#44 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Are you guys even Redskin fans? Gibbs and Bugel never talk bad about anybody. Each and every week we are about to play a SB contender or a team only one step away. Guys are praised every camp and then cut before season. It's called class, and JG & JB have plenty of it. I hope those rookies pan out, but where else is Buges going to put them other than 2nd string? Unless he wants to use cardboard cutouts, we just lost 2 OL depth. I am sure we are checking the wire and even looking at possible trades, but Bugel is not one to go crying to the media about his problems. On the other hand, JB is a great coach and can probably get as much out of a rookie OL as anybody, but don't expect much this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCsportsfan53 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I must say, I was HIGHLY impressed by Harvey when I went to training camp. This guy is huge and strong as an Ox. I know it was only 1 on 1 drills but he was really the only one of the backups who held their own against Griffin and Montgomery. Those two dominated all the backups (and rabach) but Harvey gave them some serious battles. He looks like he's a mauler and plays with a mean streak. I immediately got the impression that he was a Buges type of guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 The preseason will be telling for these guys. I'm really hoping things work out for them so we can all rest easier about the O-Line depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Pease Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Thanks a lot for posting this news. I don't get the DC stations here on the Eastern Shore of MD. In my opinion when Randy Thomas went down and then Ray Brown also went down that sealed our fate. I really do think that games are won or lost in the trenches and after last season I felt that backup OL was a significant problem. Sure is encouraging to hear that we may have improved there.

You're right in that they never say anything bad about anyone, but you can tell when they really like someone and when they're just hedging their comments about someone else. Bugel really likes these two. I noticed it especially because he never talked like this about Molinaro and Wilson in 2004...he sounded almost depressed about them. They brought Ray Brown in not long after that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mania Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 that's great to hear because we haven't done well drafting OL as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
