Hitman21ST Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I know there's the overall FA tracker thread, so if this is better put in there, no hurt feeling if this gets merged. I just thought that since there is a WR specific thread, we could do one for each position group. NFL.com Free Agency tracker (click on OL for the purposes of this thread) http://www.nfl.com/freeagency?module=HP11_cp Ladies and Gentlemen, we have two hours until the frenzy begins. Even with the (possible) cap reduction, the Redskins have a decent amount of cap space. In order to keep the front page of ES a little more organized, let's keep this thread focused on the offensive line. I'll post some free agents that I would assume we're going after. There are specific players that fit our system. If I missed any, feel free to add them: Mike Briesel (G): 6'5", 300. 28 years old, played 4 years with Houston as the Right Guard. Knows the ZBS, knows Kyle. I know we have Lich and Chester, but I have a feeling we'll take a look at the guy. Chris Meyers ©: 6'4", 289. 30 years old, played in Houston as their C. Again, knows Kyle and the ZBS. He's a little older than what Shanny has targeted in the past, but his experience in the ZBS might be invaluable. Wouldn't be surprised if we gave him a look. Eric Winston (T): 6'7", 302. 28 years old, played 4 seasons with Houston as the Right Tackle. Completing the right side of the Houston line, he's one of the best RTs in the game. Knows Kyle and the ZBS, and he should be one of our top targets IMO. We need to upgrade RT. Jammal just isn't cutting it. Carl Nicks (G): 6'5", 343. 26 years old, played in New Orleans. He's probably too big to play in the ZBS, but he's a top guard and might be able to pick it up. He would be an upgrade. Jared Gaither (T): 6'9", 340. 25 years old, played last year in San Diego. Again, might be too big for the ZBS, but we took Chester from Baltimore last year and he wasn't too bad. If Gaither is mobile, he might be a fit for us. Tony Moll (G): 6'5", 315. 28 years old. I don't really know anything about the guy, but he looks like he could be a fit. If nothing else, could be depth. Jacob Bell (G): 6'5", 304. 31 years old. His age is an issue, but IIRC, he was a good guard for the Rams. His size shouldn't be an issue, but can he hold up for a full season? If there are any I missed, feel free to add them. I didn't write down everyone from NFL.com's list, because a lot of them just aren't a good fit for us. I am in no means an OL guru, so those who are, feel free to add in your :2cents: and get this really rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWFLSkins Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Great thread start Hitman, I think the OL has to be partially addressed today in FA and can't wait until the draft. No number 2 and a new QB makes fixing RT and adding depth in FA a must. I like Winston to take that RT spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidFan Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Winston for shizzle and i hope to get a true LG if we are replacing Kory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yup Sign Winston and cut Jamal Brown. That would help some of the cap situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant15fromNJ Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 We have to....HAVE TO upgrade the offensive line. A football team is built from the lines and out. I hope we can get Winston then we will have to good tackles and big monty in the middle we will be decent. O Line is more important than anything for us right now. We have to protect RG3 and give him time and our "bad" wrs will get open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
authentic Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 i agree with the sentiment.. It would be nice to get Winston.... Actually RT is our biggest need on the Oline. They need to to cut Jamal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheREALJBird Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Winston should be a no brainer for us, I really hope we pursue him, he's an ideal fit for us, and cutting Brown would give us some cap relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maskedsuperstar Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yup Sign Winston and cut Jamal Brown. That would help some of the cap situation. I don't think they can cut Brown right now. But yes, sign Winston! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus T Firefly Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yeah, the second I heard Winston was cut, he became #1 on my wish list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukes and Skins Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I don't think they can cut Brown right now. But yes, sign Winston! They can cut him whenever they want to.... I bet they would sign Winston first then cut Brown though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman21ST Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Winston, to a lesser extent Myers!Pillage Houston's Oline! Briesel over Myers for me. Monty was a good center, we need to upgrade G before C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorebd82 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I liked the idea of Grubbs, Myers and/or Brisiel, but the Winston release changes the game. I thought we could build some depth at tackle as insurance and to give Brown an opportunity to play at full health, but Winston is an upgrade over a healthy Brown so getting our OT bookend is the priority. The ZBS lets us skimp at interior OL. I think if we get Winston, we might still target Brisiel, but if we just go with open competition of Monty, Chester, Lichtensteiger, Hurt and maybe a 3rd/4th round rookie (Zeitler or Ben Jones maybe?), then we'll be ok in the interior.

skins2323 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yup Sign Winston and cut Jamal Brown. That would help some of the cap situation. I read in a thread earlier that we CANT cut Brown without eating money this yr, we wouold not save anything due to the contract he signed last yr. That being said, can we realistically sign Winston and keep Brown on the roster with our current cap problems? If so then great, it would be fantastic depth.....but I persoanlly dont see that happening. Even though I would love to get Winston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champskins Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Where's Marcus McNeil, 100% healthy. Levi Brown??? Marcus McNeill - 28, years old, 6'7 336. One of the most durable Tackles in the game Levi Brown - 27 years old, drafted number 5 overall, 6'6 324... graded bad as LT but could be good at RT.. That said, I love Winston and Briseil, but would like to keep Monty at C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant15fromNJ Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Everyone grade Chris Chester we was an under performer for the Ravens, I didnt like the move then and I am still unsure of him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Corey worries with me both because of his size and injury history. I actually like Hurt and would like him to get a chance to compete, but upgrading the guard and tackle is a must. Our reserves played better than our starters and while that speaks well of our reserves and our coaches... it either means we need new starters or need to promote our reserves and get new reserves.

gorebd82 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Briesel over Myers for me. Monty was a good center, we need to upgrade G before C. I say only because of pricetag maybe. Myers is a better player at a more important position and one where we have more of a need. Monty is not a very good center. I think he's better at guard anyway. Right now, we have 4 guys on our team that can play guard. 3 of them can play center, but are probably better at guard. We need a true center more than another candidate to compete at guard.

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 ProFootballFocus had this to say about Eric Winston: http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2012/03/13/eric-winston-hits-the-market/ He's good, he's not old, he's consistent, he knows the scheme, and he was a successful RT on a great offense in Houston. We need him. He'd be a major upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2cents Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Why was Winston cut? I remember hearing how great their line was so I was surprised to see him cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
