Maake Kemoeatu DT signs 2yr $7million deal

Well, looks like we have our front three...

Haynesworth DE, Kemoeatu DT, and Daniels DE.

I hope Kemoeatu heals up though.

That is a very brittal group on paper lmao!

If he's healthy it's a really solid signing. Seems to push Montgomery further out the door

Did he ever have his foot in the door to begin with? I could probably count on 2 hands how many times I've heard his named called since he's been with the team..

No CBA, we have the room to take a couple chances like this...y not, with all the salary we have cleared out, 7 mil 2years is no worry

I agree. I also doubt that he's garaunteed anything in 2011 either. There's really no risk here, assuming our docs felt he had a good chance of getting healthy. If he is, then our starting 3-4 and 4-3 front 7 lineups are close to being set. Haynesworth will be playing 3-4DE/4-3DT and Orakpo will be right beside/behind him ... thats going to be scary. Really, we can now switch between 3-4 and 4-3 formations without having to change our personnel, since Orakpo would be our 3-4 linebacker and 4-3 DE. That statement about us running a 3-4 defense with a 4 man front makes alot more sense now.

I know nothing about this guy - I do think I remember him getting injured though. How good was he before the injury?

I've always thought too bad you can't give Montgomery the motor that Kedric Golston has. That would be a dangerous DT.

We needed a NT and he's a good one, IMO. I'm confident that the Redskins did their due diligence in regard to his injury.

Big Al probably just exhaled a sigh of relief that he might not have to play NT. So did I because I think it would be a waste of his pass-rushing talent.

^ he was very good... They felt soo good about him that they realesed Kris Jenkins

If healthy this is a good pickup. He can play the middle and let AH play end...where he can be more of a difference maker. My main concern would be his health obviously and Daniels' age. I mean a 3-4 with those guys healthy is pretty damn stout but all 3 have injury concerns. Montgomery and Golston remain as solid backups I guess but Golston is undersized and Montgomery is under-motivated.
