This is true, but could he really be much worse than Batiste or Jones?
I would have kept him over Batiste for sure. I didn't have a problem with Jones as our LT once Samuels went down. Bridges should have been starting at RT over Heyer, in my opinion.
Still, as serviceable as I think Bridges could have been with us I do believe Warner is making him look much much better than he is.

I understand the argument that Warner makes him look better. Still, where was Bridges while we went through a nightmare of trying to plug in nobodies? We really could have used Bridges.

Well said. I think people forget that sometimes. We look players released from our team, see them performing well elsewhere and assume the Skins made a bad personnel move.
For some reason guys like Ryan Clark & Antonio Pierce come to mind.

Pierce has had some good years in NY for sure, but he's been MIA this year and wasn't all that great last year.

I did not really notice his play but they could also be providing him a little help.

I think B Schott has been the leading candidate for a while now, and he called a great game on Saturday which I doubt went unrecognized by the Bills. Both he and Grimm would be strong choices

I think Shottenheimer is a no brainer. I even wanted the same situation here with the Shottenheimer's like we are getting with the Shanahan's. I guess now that I'm hearing more either family would have been decent. I was just hoping one of the dads would HC for a short while leading into their sons taking over.
Grimm I would wonder about. He's definitly one of the best OL coach's. I, as an owner, would want to know more about whether he's calling the plays or not. I guess it's not a requirement to call the plays and he could pick up an excellent OC to do that.

so that's a number of good and serviceable years.. we've kept linebackers past their day before
