Re: Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown
 

^^ Agree with every one 100% on this. We are getting good value for not alot of risk. The risk in drafting 1st 2nd and 3rd round guys is about 50% become players in the NFL. So far we have a Probowl Tackle and Probowl QB for a 2, 3, and 4.


Again if Vinny had made these moves we are looking at 2 1sts or 2nds and at leat 3,4.

Much improved by our FO.

Apparently this is how Bruce Allen works. He is very active in the couple of months leading up to training camp and as teams make camp cuts. This is how he does things. He takes a little risk on injury prone guys but doesn't give up the farm to get it done. This is all per Pat Kerwin on Moving the Chains on Sirius NFL radio today.

WE ARE IN GOOD HANDS WITH BA AND MS!! SO AWESOME!!

They also spoke about our tranistion into the 3-4 basically stating that we have a good roster to make the switch and we should be able to get it done quickly. Also made mention to the fact that it will look like a 4-3 alot. SO QUIT YOUR DAMN BITCHING AH AND GET TO REDSKINS PARK AND SEE HOW THIS THING WILL GET DONE.

Re: Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown
 

a statement Brown made, from matt mosley's blog on espn... don't know if it has been posted yet, but i love his attitude. taking the anti-albert approach.

"I just think coming here, playing for Coach [Mike] Shanahan -- I watched him in Denver -- I like the scheme of offense that he runs. The zones, things like that," Brown told the Post on Saturday. "I'm gonna come in; they want me to play right tackle.I still think I'm a left tackle, but I'm going to do what they want me to do. I know they got my college teammate Trent [Williams] on the left side. We'll see how that all plays out. But I'm going to play wherever they want me to play. I'm just excited to be here and to be a part of a first-class program."

hopefully we can move Capers back to tight end now!?

Why would we want to move our developmental tackle to a position we are already stacked in?

Rather - Hopefully, this gives time for Capers to develop into a solid replacement for J. Brown at RT.

awesome move for what we gave up for him pro bowl tackle for a 4th rd pick who is only 29 wow outstanding.......................

sounds like he's on board w/ the program. isn't he going to want a new deal that has left tackle money?

Re: Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown
 

I'm glad Brown is aboard, he's an improvement over anyone we currently have at the position. Contract will be the thing of interest going foreward, he's looking for a long term deal, remaining healthy will be the determining factor. His ability at his position is unquestioned.

Re: Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown
 

Love this move. As long as the coaches can get TW up to speed we'll now have a legit pair of tackles for the first time since Samuels and Jansen were both in their prime. I also love that Hicks can now shift inside to RG.

Suddenly, depth along the o/line is looking much better. Could now go from our weakest to our strongest save for good health.

Look at the history, it is very unusual. In light of Stinchcomb, I don't think that being Drew Brees's RT on an almost undefeated team had anything to do with that. :rolleyes:

Re: Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown
 

Let's not forget that we're putting a rookie at LT.

Re: Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown
 

I am more appreciative of how Mr Allen has only commited to one year deals with alot of these positive additions. If they prove themselves and stay injury free, they could have great success with the Redskins orginization.

Well alot of that is probably due to the uncertainty surrounding the CBA, teams have to be in wait and see mode.

If a Redskins tackle goes to the pro bowl this year, it will almost certainly be Trent Williams. Of course, it takes 2 to 3 years for popular opinion of a lineman's play to permeate throughout the league, so in other words, we're not sending a lineman to the pro bowl this year.

Re: Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown
 

I admittedly didnt watch more than a handful of saints games but what is up with all this love for bushrod. he ranked right there in the bottom of O lineman with heyer and levi jones in terms of grading, winning at the poa, etc.

read that brown likes and thinks he will be a good fit for what shanny and kyle want to do blocking wise. any insight or opinions from anyone who knows jamall browns game and skills?
