Mike Williams out for season? (rumor)

Sorry Bro, thanks for . . . nothing? What the hell did he ever do for the Redskins? He was a lineman on one of the worst lines we've had.

Put me in the BMW camp. Was rooting for him to really step up into the guard position. With that said, I hope he recovers - blod clots are not something to mess with.

I think our depth, while taking a hit, will be fine. I just have much more faith in a Shanahan coached line than a Zorn coached line. I also think we have more quality depth along the interior than at tackle - Maybe I am on crack but between E. Williams, Hicks, Dockery, Rabach & Rinehart we should be fine. If Cook develops, even better.
Our line at this point:

RT: Brown (Capers)
RG: Hicks/Rinehart (E. Williams)
C: Rabach (E. Williams)
LG: Dockery (E. Cook)
LT: T. Williams (Brown)

Rinehart, Cook, E. Williams and Licthensteiger fighting for the 2 back-up guard/center spots and then the two losers of that fighting Heyer for the 9th spot. As far as the interior of the line, I think Shanny will find 3 quality starters and 2 solid subs from that group.

With or without Big Mike I think the line will be powers of ten better because they now have a solid NFL QB behind them and that will make them better.

Just to be clear, "blood clots" near heart doesn't make much sense. But if true, it may mean he'd need blood thinners, which would make playing football again less likely.

There are a couple of possibilities:
1) Blood clot in leg/lung (deep venous thrombosis or DVT) - usually in immobile people or with recent surgery.
2) Blood clot in heart from an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation).
3) Heart tumor (myxoma) - usually need surgery, ppl do fine.
4) Problem/clot on heart valve - unusual, unlikely.
5) Something completely different..

Can't think of anything else that would make sense in his case. Either way, hope it's just a rumor and he's okay.I've had 2 DVTs, and yes, the immediate treatment is blood thinners. Big Mike will probably spend 4-5 days hospitalized receiving Heparin intervenously. After release, he will be prescribed Coumadin, and will require regular testing to ensure that his blood remains thin. Over a period of several months, the clots will dissolve. At that point, he can probably come off blood thinners and possibly resume his career.

Without Big Mike. Who my prayers are with.

We still have a good looking line.

JoeRed I have a couple of changes though.

For one I really want to know hwo comes out of training camp with the #1 LT spot. I know what we have heard about TW and JB, but with a Probowl LT on board, if TW does not look to top form in Training Camp I would expect MS and KS to start Jamaal Brown for the time being.

Having those 2 guys is going to be huge for us this year.

So we will go with TW winning LT spot in training camp.

LT- Trent Williams (J. Brown, Heyer)
LG- Derrick Dockery (E Williams)
C- Casey Racbach (K, Lightsigner, E Williams)
RG- Artis Hicks (Cook)
RT- Jamaal Brown (Heyer, Capers)

Trent Williams immediate back up is Jamaal Brown, but in my scenario we keep 10 line men on the 53 man roster. I don't know if they keep that many. In that case, I guess Heyer goes, unless you can practice squad Capers for a time. As I have no idea how these guys are looking Rhinehart could be there and one of the rookies could be gone.

Dude isn't that good! Glad he's out now so we can get to work finding a more capable replacement.

Saden1. He had a nice story though, would have been cool to see him reserect his career here.

The only nice story I am interested in is one in which the Redskins are Super Bowl champs.

hope he recovers quickly, not that I care about him playing football...but just so he can enjoy life.

NICE! Hail!
