Oldskool Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Just Like Cory Raymer right? You do realize that Raymers best years were behind him and he was no longer starting material? This guy is still young and hasn't had any drop off in production. Apples or oranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurent Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Who cares how many times Carr was sacked, would you rather have our starters be backed up by an undrafted NFL rookie with ZERO starting experience? Sometimes I really wonder whether some of our posters engage their brain before they hammer on their keyboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieInferior Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 You do realize that Raymers best years were behind him and he was no longer starting material? This guy is still young and hasn't had any drop off in production.Apples or oranges. Raymer came to the skins at the same age as Wade after being Cut due to being Injury prone. Like Wade he had left his original team for a big contract but injuries led to it being a short stay. Who knows maybe wade overcomes his injuries and regains his form from Miami. But one thing is for sure, just playing for Bugel will not resurect his career. Ask Raymer. there is a bit of depperation in this move. Wade has been availible since july and we are not the only team with Ol depth issues. Why has no one else gone after him? We did we wait till the eve of opening night?

But one thing is for sure, just playing for Bugel will not resurect his career. Ask Raymer. Raymer was washed up and thats why we didnt try starting him. Buges had him here because he knew the scheme and was good for depth as he knows how to play multiple positions on the line. Raymer wasn't going to be a starter. there is a bit of depperation in this move. Wade has been availible since july and we are not the only team with Ol depth issues. Why has no one else gone after him? We did we wait till the eve of opening night? So looking for depth at the O-line position, which is the thinnest on the team, is a sign of desperation now? And where do you get your info that no one else was after him? Could it possibly be that he was waiting for the best offer and chose the Skins over other teams looking for depth? of course not.

skin-em Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I like Bugle a lot; but does it seem to anyone else like our O-Line is underachieving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 :doh: Wasn't David Carr sacked a record number of times the past two years. Ramsey was sacked alot and we had Samuels, Jansen, randy thomas starting. So it could have been the scheme in Houston which has now been scrapped for quick passes and rollouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying they are potential all pros but at least we have some depth that can do a job for a couple of weeks if a starter gets hurt. :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxSkin88 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 good move! as others have posted ... big $$, injury and new coaching staff in Houston brought on his release: July 15, 2006, 12:20AM Wade released as shake-up continues on Texans' O-line New blocking scheme makes big tackle expendable By MEGAN MANFULL Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle With changes in the works on the offensive line, the Texans released veteran tackle Todd Wade on Friday. The 6-8, 314-pound tackle was lured away from the Miami Dolphins with a $10 million signing bonus in 2004. He started 22 games for the Texans before spraining his medial collateral ligament against Indianapolis on Nov. 13. His rehabilitation continued this offseason, and Wade was unable to participate in the Texans' workouts. "Anytime you're in a situation like I am, you have to make tough decisions," Texans general manager Rick Smith said. "As an organization, we appreciate what Todd has done for us. He's a good football player. But you have to factor in so many aspects when making a decision, like a player's salary, his style and how it fits in your system and where we want to go in the future." Wade, a starter since he entered the league in 2000 out of Mississippi, likely will be picked up quickly by another team. He was not able to be reached for comment. Texans guard Steve McKinney said Wade will be missed when camp begins July 27. "It's tough, because Todd was a good friend," McKinney said. "The unfortunate problem was his injury came at a time when there was a coaching change and the offensive line was having fingers pointed at it. Changes were inevitable, and sometimes you get lost in the shuffle when you're in an injury situation." Because of the injury, Wade never was able to show how he might adapt to playing in the new scheme coach Gary Kubiak brought from Denver. The Broncos use a zone-blocking scheme that utilizes quick linemen who must be able to make the initial block and then get to the second level. Because of that, the linemen in this scheme typically are some of the NFL's smallest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairRedskin Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 This signing has my blessing. He's pretty solid and as I've said elsewhere, the problem in Houston wasn't so much personnel as it was scheme and a clash in offensive philosophy. This guy is a good backup. He gave up an average of 5 sacks a year as a starter so he's certainly capable of holding his spot down should god forbid one of our starters go down. As long as he's back close to 100% from his injury, we're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish50 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Don't understand this move. Why don't you understand this move? We need depth at the o-line. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
