Your Thoughts on the D-line...

Ok i'll admit it... the thought of AH and JT lining up together gets me a little excited. All I hope is that Albert's contract, if he really does sign here, is extremely incentive laden rather than guaranteed (I don't think he'll go for it and I don't think our FO will force it but you know...).

... funny how much the outlook has changed since I started this thread. I really thought our d-line would consist of Evans, Griff, Monty and Carter starting w/ Golston and Lorenzo rotating in at tackle. I hoped for 1) another year of Griff playing like a warrior and 2) Monty finally playing up to his potential which would pay dividends for our ends... haha.

Apparently Redskins is considering Chris Canty from Cowboys.. And I think he's good choice?

Canty is absoultely a good choice. If he hits the market, I would move the cash from Hall and put it on Canty. Canty is only a year older, and is a better 6 year investment.

Yeah, it would tie a lot of money up at one position, but there's a big difference between 26 and 28 in free agency, which is the difference between Haynesworth and Canty.

Any word on whether the Cowboys would be able to afford Canty and Lewis? If not, Canty wouldn't be as expensive as AH, right?

I know this is not logical, but I'm not really up for bringing another Cowboy turned Skins guy in. I don't know how well Canty would do, but seems like we have not had terrific success in that regards. (Maybe the B&G glasses are just too strong to see the talent though)

I really like this idea. He's durable, plus younger, cheaper, and more versatile than Haynesworth, played college ball at UVA, and we'd be taking a solid contributor from our arch rival.

Although that post on RI says we are looking at Mark Tauscher. Boo. He's 31 and coming off surgery for a torn ACL. Do we really need another O-lineman on the wrong side of 30 coming off injury?? Come on. And it says we have no interest in Brandon Moore, who is a healthy 27 year old guard. Apparently we are looking to add 2 tackles and a guard....

Canty would be a great addition.

Perhaps due to cap issues?

I like the idea of having Canty, hopefully this will quiet any thoughts of going after Haynesworth.

I don't like taking on a 31 year old lineman, unless he comes super cheap. I wonder if Buges is the type that only likes veteran players.

Perhaps due to cap issues?

Well Tauscher isn't exactly a bargain. He's averaged $5M/yr recently. If we're going to pony up that kind of loot, might as well try for the younger, less injured player. That said, I have no idea what kind of money Brandon Moore will be looking for.
