LuckyJay757 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Seem to be a solid player at Michigan..Sure he can come in and help. The Washington Redskins have added another undrafted rookie free agent, signing former Michigan standout inside linebacker Obi Ezeh, according to the Detroit Free Press. The 6-foot-2, 245-pound Ezeh was a Butkus Award semifinalist in 2009 and last season recorded 55 tackles for the Wolverines. The Redskins have London Fletcher at one inside linebacker spot, and second-year LSU product Perry Riley and outside linebacker Lorenzo Alexander are auditioning for the other starting inside linebacker job in Washington’s 3-4 defense. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/post/redskins-sign-linebacker-obi-ezeh/2011/07/31/gIQAg3sTlI_blog.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDaveVA1975 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Seems like we definately need more depth at the inside linebacker position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Skins Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Lofa Tatupu is 30 right? He was waived by Seattle and definitely could help our cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyJay757 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Yup, I think that we are iffy at best at the ILB beside London. This is good, low expectations even with Rocky departing. If we can get something from this position we will be fine up front. IMO the defense is rounding out to good. Everyone talks about the DC but he brought in the LB coach from Pittsburg and I believe he knows LB talent when he see's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston Skins Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 28 will be 29 in Nov. Problem being he could demand a big contract. Don't know how well he could translate to the 3-4. Just an option. Will be good to see Perry Riley grow in that position as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holmester Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I don't want him. I think he will sign with the Browns where Holgrem is I doubt it. They have D'Qwell slotted as the starting MLB and he's a stud. If your right though I wouldn't mind inquiring on D'Qwell's availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonnyandSam Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Henson and Blades are also back competing for ILB. Also, a media guy on twitter says the Skins may be kicking the tires on Channing Crowder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyJay757 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 I think they brought Blades back to be a solid back up and special team leader. I wonder if he'll ever get a whole hearted chance at starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only issue I have with Crowder is his mouth. Also not sure what kind of money he is asking for. I wouldn't give him much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mi6 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 The Skins missed an opportunity at some LBs from Maryland. Alex Wujiack (sp??) and Adrian Moten. Both were solid, physical, and play makers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I'm going on record to say if Henson plays as well in preseason this year as he did last year, he'll be starting next to Fletcher. He was all over the field last year, flying around and making tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sean and Laron show Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Henson and Riley "flying around making tackles" against 3rd stringers is nice, they've yet to produce against actual NFL starting caliber players though. I hope we bring in Crowder. It baffles me how everyone is content with our ILB core when none of them are actual ILB's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
