Geoff_K Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 As for Kendall: In a nutshell, the Redskins overpaid for a 34-year old guard - Okay, Beasley hasn't played in a year and is going on 33 OMG do we even like ANYONE that doenst need a walker to get from the locker room to the field ! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 It's not that impossible for this guy to make the final roster. He's a blocker, so in my mind he will only have to be better than Eric Edwards, Pete Schmitt, and Brian Bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowghost Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Dee Brown was one. Not sure who the other was. Thank you. :applause: Brown did a good job on ST's. :2cents: Just trying to find something good to say about the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 u didn't thikn that gibbs would go into the regular season with a rookie being the backup Fb. the team will not carry more than 5 Wrs it seems and the kendall move allows for 1 less Oline man. I thikn he will keep sellers, and beasley as our fbs. Yoder and Cooley as our Tes. Rock, Betts, Portis and Blaylock as our Rbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPstretch Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 so i guess that is why they released dee brown earlier today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drex Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 If I am not mistaken, Cerrato drafted Beasley when he was in San Francisco, so maybe that's a reason why we were interested in the guy. He was a pretty good blocker earlier this decade but at this point in his career, not sure what to expect from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Why does JLC write his articles like an ex girlfriend writing to her diary about how her ex broke her heart. I hope whoever employs JLC replaces him with a weather forcast. Id rather chew on glass thenread his spitefull crap anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herb mul-key Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 the more I look into it the more I really like the vets we are bringin in...Fletch, Godfrey, Kendall, Beastly, Macklin...I really like all these guys.... we are getting tougher and wiser...we could be good! Pinkston...not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chump Bailey Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Fred was one of the better FB's in the game not too long ago - and he can block, or use to anyways. As someone else said, Betts is very limited in that capacity and that's likely being kind. Reggie Williams could be released soon by the Jags....:idea: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercuryrising Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 OMG do we even like ANYONE that doenst need a walker to get from the locker room to the field ! :mad: I was thinking the same thing. I think our highly paid coaches do not really like actually having to teach young players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFK Lives Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 so i guess that is why they released dee brown earlier today... That and NBA Training Camp is opening up. :laugh: I didn't know he was released, I saw in the notes where he missed practice due to personal reasons and all I could think of was the coaches saying, well you know, just don't come back.

Novato Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 He'll block for Sellers.......SCARY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbodiesel#44 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 We have not had a reliable short yardage back since.....Davis? I have always wondered why Sellers hasn't been utilized there more, perhaps the coaches think he is too slow hitting the hole? Anyway, if Beasley makes the squad, it doesn't look good for Rock.

TomE Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 He really did let LOOSE on the team for some reason. I'm not sure where the malevolence in this entry comes from... Don't forget that Gibbs just reamed LaCan a new one for his "incorrect" Heyer comments earlier in the week, LaCan is just firing back.Probably a bad move.

SkinsTillIDie Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Let me just add that you don't win super bowls with rookies, you win with players that have performed well in this league and proven themselves. Veteran depth is never a bad thing to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeenzfan Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Interesting pick up. He could really play in his prime. Heck of a run blocker. Not a bad option for some depth.JLC is pretty harsh on the Kendall trade. I agree with him to an extent, in that I dont want to give up a 4th for him in any year. But I do think he will be a pretty good addition, and definitely a needed one. I dont think you can play the team for not paying Dockery the kind of money he got from Buffalo. Should they have gotten someone better in the first place? Maybe, but its hard to say that they would have been able to. I just think instead of letting dockery go into the last year as a free agent we should have signed him in 2006. He had already started like two full seasons by then. But these are all ifs and buts at this point. I think Kendall will be a good option for a year or two till we draft or develop another starter. I think over the next two drafts we will have to draft several O-lineman as all our starters will be getting old at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zCommander Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 He was one of the league's best full backs just a couple of years ago. If he's over some injury issues, he could be a shrewd signing. I don't really see how he will fit in terms of a final 53 man roster though, with Portis, Betts, Blaylock, Cartwright, and Sellers already at the running back position.I do wonder though what would happen if Sellers were to go down - we have no viable backup full back I am not sure why you are confused. Have you not been reading some of the posts here on Portis. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am confused why people have a problem with this. - He could end up being a steal. Compete? Compete against who? We don't have a back up FB behind Sellers (unless you count Camp fodder Rookie Pete Shmit as a back up). If sellers were to go down, we would have no one.

It makes people scratch their heads because well managed teams have young draft picks to fight for back up spots who have upside and are trying to make a name for themselves not live off of one and are on a down hill.
