| re: Backup center discussion I'd much prefer to see Crummey or Rinehart get those 2nd team reps. I really feel that both will have a significant place as O-line starters eventually. Crummey was a great FA signing out of Maryland. He might have been drafted in the 2nd or 3rd round had he not broken his leg last season. |

| re: Backup center discussion I think that right now the reasoning behind moving Jansen to center would be that we could do that, substitute Heyer or Wade at tackle and still have 5 guys with starting experience, for the Redskins playing, on the o-line. Bugel knows what help Heyer and Wade need when they are in because of last year. He sees the best o-line talent at the tackle position (Jansen, Wade, Heyer, Fabini, Reinhart). Looks like he wants to spend all Reinharts time being developed for guard, Jansen is the best option at this time. Plus Jansen is stuck here for a whilewith his salary and if his abailties fall off at tackle, he needs to be able to contribute as a "super-backup" at multiple positions. I still say we sign a back-up center before the season starts.

There's a link. It would be a great idea to sign him for a vet minimum, he is coming off an injury but he passed a physical.

![]() Did the guy even play last year....? I thought there was even something about a staff infection. I think we have learned something....then again I have to remember where I'm at. Do ya think he got cut for a reason? He's a high risk injury problem, just maybe OR just can't play?

| re: Backup center discussion Before he was injured, Bentley was one of the top two or three centers in the league. I don't know what his current condition is - it's probably a safe bet that he is not near that form now. I would still sign him for a no SB contract. Center is one of our areas of need and, if he can be had for the right price, he is probably worth a shot. Of course, it all depends on his physical condition. He may just be done. It happens. But, given his level of play pre-injury, and the Skins need at center, this is a "vet min" signing that would actually make sense - a' la Erasmus. Hell, he may not even be available for vet min.

| re: Backup center discussion Well I didn't read the article BUT if hes dumb enough to ask to be cut. What does that usually tell ya, there was some other player BETTER than him getting ready to take his job...right? Or he sucks NOW (don't care how good he used to be) and/ or can't play anywhere if at all near where he could prior to injury.

| re: Backup center discussion He obviously doesn't want to be a backup, which he would be here in Washington. I'd love to have him, I just don't know how it would work out. He was one of the top 2 or 3 centers in football when he got hurt in training camp in 06.
