Re: Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown
 

We need to slow down and spread this JB talk over the next 5+ weeks before training camp starts or we will have nothing to talk about. LOL

HTTR.

So pro football teams DO need quality OL play? Who knew!

Da da da da daaaa. I'm lovin it!

Re: Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown
 

I love the move especially if he's fully recovered and back to his pro bowl form of 2 or 3 years ago. I'm still kind of uncertain about our depth on the line though.

Eh, we still have Haynesworth getting traded and now theres a position battle at RG.

Re: Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown
 

Excellent move; you can't guarantee that a 3rd or 4th rounder will be on the team in a few years so if we can get somebody with his level of playing for 3 or 4 years we definitely win.

Think of it this way... Rinehart vs Brown.. who would you pick?

Re: Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown
 

I like this move also giving we new RT was a area of concern even with Artis Hicks penciled in that spot. I just hope he can return to his form and stay healthy. The O-line is coming along thus far now lets figure a way to get at least a 2nd or 3rd rd pick for AH if he does not want to be here. I would also consider to trade AH for another NFL Defensive pro-bowl player if he fit our need.

How to remake a line in one year:

Draft a potential pro-bowl LT who is starter ready.
Trade for a quality RT
Sign the best 6th man through free-agency.
Draft developmental tackle and center.

Ta - daaaa!

Wow our OL is totally revamped!

Re: Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown
 

Well, that F'ing sucks!!!

Brown failed his physical. Jammal's hip injury apparently worse than was let on.

Ha Ha Ha you got me :laughing2

Re: Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown
 

LOVE this trade.

But in reality, [U]are we overvaluing a couple of banged up players[/U]? We're counting on Kemo (achilles), Carriker (shoulder) & now Brown (hip) - and NONE of whom played a snap last year. If Brown was still a Pro-Bowl caliber OT, would the Saints have let him go for a possible fourth round pick? Are we missing something here?


ps. Darn you JoeRedskin!! You got me too.

Re: Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown
 

I guess I'm one of the few that really don't like this trade. The guy couldn't even get on the field cause he was hurt. So at 29 he's suppose to walk in off the street after being hurt and be a starter at LT in the NFC East? I have my doubts. It's apparent that Allen and Shanahan have 0 rebuilding plan and it's win now. Not so sure this is the best way to go.

Don't you think that it's time to stop giving away draft picks and try and develop some of our own guys? Rienhart hasn't even had a chance to get on the field.

Re: Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown
 

I agree. I'm still a sucker for big blockbuster signings -- but isn't this the same as the last 10 years? We're either spending too much or sending away draft picks for players..

And every year we've done this, everyone says "It's different this time."

- Albert Haynesworth (2009) - nuff said. most ppl loved this.
- Jason Taylor (2008) - last minute decision, most accepted this. he sucked.
- Brandon Lloyd/Archuleta (2006) - Gibbs did it, most accepted it. they sucked.
- Bruce Smith, Deion, Trotter, etc, etc, etc

I'm a Redskins homer, so (again) I'll say that this is "different" and I'm hopeful (perhaps we're giving up lower draft picks for good "value"). But I think we all need to realize, this is the very similar to what we've been doing for years. If the moves work, then Shanahan's a genius. If not, we'll look back and shake our heads.

[quote=skinsfan69;707693]For this year's 2nd, and next years 3rd and 4th, we have upgraded the QB position and the line in a significant way for the next 3-5 years. We have our 1st and 2nd next year to continue the building.[/quote]

Exactly. Plus we've added another 5th or 6th for next year. For me, Trent Williams and Jammal Brown as our bookends on the line with some combo of Hicks, Capers, Williams and Heyer as our backups is much more appealing than whatever we had last year (sans a healthy Samuels of course).
