RI: Jeremy Bridges agrees to terms

I hope the team is settled on a legitimate starting RT (or two) before the season starts....

I guess we're doing the best we can. Little surprised Levi Jones didn't come available nor did any other legit starting RT talent (post draft). It seems like teams are willing to invest larger and larger amounts of their cap space at the tackle position, retaining vets w/ big contracts while still going out and drafting/signing the best available in the rookie pool. Smart football really...

We might be getting this guy at the right time.

I hate to look to our arch rival for examples, but many were shocked when the Tuna started Marc colombo a few years ago. He was a fairly highly regarded player (2nd round I believe) w/the Bears but had injury problems I think. Whatever the case, he'd fallen into obscurity then came to dallas & won a job which he's had ever since. He's done really well there too.

I hope Bridge or M. Williams has a similar story here. We don't need a pro bowl level RT, at this point it would just be great to see someone play the position close to the way Jansen did before his injuries.

^^ Seriously. I am not looking for an All Pro, just someone who is a legitimate NFL starter who can handle the regular joe DE's 1 on 1 on every play. Anything beyond that is gravy. Last year, neither Heyer or Jansen was capable of doing that.

This is Bridges. He was a 2yr starter for the Panthers(one at rt, the other at guard). He will be a good pick up for us. With this and if we can get Williams to be half of what he use to be, we will be much improved on the o-line. Bridges will provide more versatility, if Williams is moving like Doc Walker is saying, this could be an area of strength instead of a weakness.

Red, you are right.. However the chance of Bridges AND Williams playing pretty good are kinda slim.. I believe Bridges do have a chance to be pretty good player for us, but I'm not sure if I can say same thing for Williams..

I have soft spot for Heyer, I believe he can be a decent RT this year.. He definitely has potentials to be good RT but he seems to have difficult time to absorb everything Buges is teaching..

my point exactly. bring the position up to basic league standards!

Don't mean to make fun of you Grid, but this post sounds like Emmitt Smith!

I would like to see our line stay healthy for a season. I know this is highly age related, but people do realize the Giants O-line has been one unit for 3 years. That would be great. The O-line, and the D-line, is not just individual players but also a cohesive unit. a side note, just got a text that Levi Jones was just released!!

I have lived in both. I don't necessarily think that DC is going to have more distractions. More people are assholes up here and have a inflated level of self-worth so it might be easier to get into an argument but then again most of them don't have a spine so they back down pretty quickly.[/B]

If you hang around the wrong people or find the wrong part of town in any city you will get into trouble.

P.S. As far as the strip clubs, I think they are better in Charlotte. You can have lap dances (If there is a club in DC with lap dances let me know!). And definitely no pasties like the Commonwealth... Funny, but very true which is why I hope he's grown up because there are more people in DC to piss you off (sometimes):). Bro, I haven't been to the club in like 4 yrs which is ironically where I met my fiance'e.:confused:
