redskins021 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Has anyone heard any news on Ray Wills the RT from the Seahawks. Its was rumored that we were interested in him , does anyone know if we have contacted him since free agency has began. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie5 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Nothing -- I'd like to see us go after him because he's young, knows the system, has talent, and would come with a good sticker price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blindlywewander Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 i'd love to get him because then we wouldn't need to draft an OL in round one. i'd like to get a true impact guy like rey mauluga with 13. the rest of the draft should be OL and DL. but the more i look at mauluga, he is a game changer. if we get a young rt now, we could upgrade the defense even more.

RWJ Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Brown was plan A until the Rams, Dock is plan B and I think Willis is plan C. JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mountain Mama Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I would love to see him get here. Hope we still have the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindlywewander Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 yeah, but dock is more expensive. i think with haynesworth's deal, we move on to the cheaper plan c. at least i hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Let's do plans B and C and set ourselves up with some youth. HA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeen80 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I think Brown is out of the picture now. Dockery is still a realistic possibility...as is Willis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asknoquarter Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 It would be so nice to have all of our big needs met before the draft. If we could get dock and willis, LB is certainly looking like a good option. on a side note: remember earlier in the week when everyone was ready to move Jason Taylor to strong side LB on passing downs? I still love this idea just with Haynesworth playing DE on his side. How would you stop that pass rush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you stop that pass rush? I'd just roll 3 OL and a TE to that side. If you have Taylor and Haynesworth coming off the edge, you don't need to worry about anyone that would be coming from the middle or the other side.

Shilsu Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Why are you guys so enamored with Ray Willis? He sucks. He's just a more expensive Heyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Why are you guys so enamored with Ray Willis? He sucks. He's just a more expensive Heyer. Word on the street is that Zorn and Stump Mitchell like him a lot. That's enough for me, and we wouldn't be having this discussion if the coaching staff didn't think he was a better option then the right tackles we already have. What makes you say he sucks?

They also wanted DJ Hackett badly last season, too, and also picked up Shaun Alexander who sucked. It kind of reminds me of fantasy football where someone only drafts players from his favorite team. He doesn't suck, it's just that he's not really even an upgrade over Heyer so there's no point in bringing in him considering Heyer will be a whole lot cheaper.

Chump Bailey Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Nobody is going to mistake Ray for Jon Runyan anytime soon, but he could be a good pickup for a modest price. From what I've read about him he seems smart and versatile playing both RT and RG positions. Hey, at least we're looking at the OL after having addressed the DL obviously in a major way. I'm happy man and Dan and Vinny are both in my cool book right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJ Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Some Willis info. Not to impressive, but none the less here it is: Willis is a four-year player who started 10 games last year. He has played both guard and tackle and he has good size and strength. He's an adequate overall athlete who can create movement in the run game, due to his strength and leg drive after contact. He has limited lateral quickness and struggles to adjust on the move. He lacks ideal body control in space to secure on the run. He will fall off contact, if he gets overextended and shows limited hip flexibility and body control. He has adequate foot quickness in pass protection. He tends to play upright and will expose his chest for defenders, while attempting to grab wide with his hands. He can be walked back quickly at times, when defenders get inside his frame and will struggle to anchor. He does a good job of attacking on the short set, where his upper-body strength can lock down defenders quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downbeat87 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 meh... i just wanna have access to him on tape im going to start looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcore Zornography Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I made a post about it in the free agent prediction thread, but I would like to see them go after Willis's teammate, fullback Leonard Weaver, while they are trying to raid the Seahawks. Size, speed, hands, perfect eventual successor to Sellers IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's not that good then he shouldn't cost too much, right? If there's talk of moving Jansen inside to play multiple positions then we need more depth. They were hoping Hackett would add to depth and maybe develop (I'll give you that, they were dead wrong on him), but Shaun was purely for depth and nothing. And no, I don't believe Zorn and Stump love everyone from Seattle. But they probably would know the people that would understand the system and help our team in someway that it would be worth offering them a contract. I'm not a football coach, but that makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflow78 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 From what I remember, Hackett came and went with a pretty quiet visit and they only offerred him the minimum. That doesn't sound like they wanted him that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downbeat87 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 alright, so over at nfl.com i looked up the games that ray willis played in... then i went to the nfl video galleries to see what he could do... what i found.... from my eyes at least, was that he is very good, and doesnt need to learn the system. with seeing what i saw, i would not mind seeing willis rocking the bg next year. we can still draft depth in the ol and get a LB this year. check it all out!

redskindan07 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 JASON BROWN CHOOSES ST. LOUIS Posted by Mike Florio: Friday, February 27, 2009 9:01 PM Earlier in the day, we reported at the temporary PFT safe haven site at SportingNews.com that center/guard Jason Brown had a little problem. He was holding a significant offer from the Rams, in the range of $7 million per year, but he didn't want to play for the Rams. Unfortunately, no one else was offering Brown the kind of money that the Rams put on the table. In the end, Brown apparently opted for the money. According to Jeff Darlington of the Miami Herald, Brown has agreed to terms with the Rams. As we'd heard it, Brown was hoping for the Ravens to match the St. Louis offer. But the Ravens never were inclined to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's talk of moving Jansen inside to play multiple positions then we need more depth. Rarely in the NFL do the contracts and production of free agents correlate. Anyway, we need starters on our offensive line. Jansen's obviously not it anymore. Heyer's definitely not it. And Willis isn't it. He's just another Casey Rabach in RT form. Good depth, but not a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
