armada58 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Dock is gone. Spilt Milk. Under the Bridge. We can sit back and whine about him leaving. But, you know what? That's not me. I'm not a complainer. It's a waste of energy. Our Left Guard in 2007 will not be Derrick Dockery. The question and the topic of discussion now has to be something along the lines of........... So now what? It appears as if Joe Gibbs' first plan of attack is to bring in Leonard Davis. I gotta tell ya, I don't think that's a bad idea. I know that his tenure in Arizona was bad. In my opinion, though, he was out of position. Leonard Davis is NOT a Left Tackle. He has seen time in his career at Guard and played well doing it. His skill sets certainly project more to the Guard position than the Tackle position. The big problem here is that his price tag (like Dockery's) is WAAAAYY too high. I would be open to and happy with Davis as our Left Guard, but only at a reasonably price. So what do you think Plan B is? What should Plan B be? Todd Wade? With Dielman and Steinbach signed, the options for us are growing thin and this is a CRITICAL position for our offense in 2007. Our offense was set and now there is a hole. I'm for Davis, if he drops his price. Other than that, I'm out of knowledgable information as to who is available and can do the job. Opinions?

skinsandgibbsfan Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I actually think we could stick with Pucillo. He did a great job as a backup last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf85 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I really don't know what there going to do now.This si something we will probably be talking about next year.Just like the Pierce thing thats why you don't let your players go.We better get Cooley signed soon.Not to mention Taylor better get a extension.

twenty-eight Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'm suprised dielamn didnt get more moeny. Did we even make a run at him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus T Firefly Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 My first preference would be Mike Gandy from Buffalo. Actually did a decent job filling in at LT 2 years ago, so he provides nice depth there as well as being a good G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 1. Most likely option is that Pucillo starts at LG. 2. We get a FA from the 6/1 cuts 3. and most unlikely is that we sign Wade at RT and move Jansen to LG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peregrine Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Im all for signing Wade. I think hes a good enough player, hes young, hes cheap, he knows the team and system, there just really isnt a downside in my opinion. We dont need a superstar to fill Docks spot. Why? Because we have 4 other linemen who are playing great. When you have that, it makes the one guy who comes in, look better. It would be one thing if we had two good linemen and a couple iffy ones, but we dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenic Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I think it would be easier to just move Casey Rabach to guard and find a new center, than it would be to move Jansen. Rabach used to play guard for the Ravens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 There is no way they move Jansen to guard. Why mess up a rock at that position. Jansen when healthy is a great RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sick Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 pucillo will be our new left gaurd, if not this season, next season for sure I think Pucillo only signed for one year, so we could be in this same situation next year, with another year of salary escalation... I think it will be between Pucillo and some veteran... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeMarco Murray 29 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 If Davis chooses Washington over Dallas, then Danny Snyder must be offering some HUGE $$$$. Not being a homer or anything, just a chance for him to go back home and play for his favorite team growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayAction Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 This draft is supposed to be very deep at guard. Dockery started as a rookie 3rd round pick and did fairly well his first year. Skins don't need to pay for a star at the LG position. If they can trade out of the #6 slot then they would have the extra picks to devote to a Guard.

HEavyJumbo85 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 If it isn't Davis, they will look strongly at Saints Guard Montrae Holland. At least that's what I've heard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armada58 Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 With our current draft picks, there's no way we can fill the Left Guard spot unless we use our #6 on a guard. That's not going to happen. If we fill this hole through the draft, then that means we would have traded down and drafted a LG in the 2nd/3rd Round I have no problem with that.

twenty-eight Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 POSTED 11:47 p.m. EST, March 3, 2007 GIANTS, COWBOYS, REDSKINS DOING DAVIS DANCE Three teams in the NFC East are positioning themselves to possibly sign offensive lineman Leonard Davis. Specifically, the Giants, Cowboys, and Redskins are in the mix for the six-year veteran. But each team has designs on him at different positions. In New York, he'd likely be the replacement for Luke Petitgout at left tackle. In Washington, Davis would likely step in at left guard for Derrick Dockery, who signed with the Bills on Friday. In Dallas, Davis would be the new right tackle, taking over for Marc Colombo. The problem, as we mentioned earlier on Saturday, is that Davis supposedly wants $23 million in guaranteed money. It's a hugh amount, but not out of line in light of the huge amounts paid to guys like Eric Steinbach, Derrick Dockery, and Kris Dielman. Among the three of them, there are a grand total of ZERO Pro Bowl appearances. ZERO. But, as we always say, a player is worth precisely what someone will pay him. The fact that Steinbach and Dockery and Dielman have found their pots of gold doesn't mean that Davis will. Nevertheless, to the extent that these three signings are evidence of what the market currently is for second-tier offensive linemen, Davis is at least in the ballpark.

If he was a Cowboy fan growing up, then we don't want him, thanks anyways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method man Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 There is no way they move Jansen to guard. Why mess up a rock at that position. Jansen when healthy is a great RT. Because Wade is an even better RT. If we resign Wade, he must play tackle at 6-8. Besides a few strength concerns, I have no problem with moving Jansen to guard. He would give us something of a nasty streak, which we have lacked on the left side in ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
