Yeah. He hasn't been signed by anyone else and he's already familiar with us. He actually was one of our better linemen last year.

I wonder if Heyer can make it through a 16 game season? Unfortunatley he has no track record.

The guy is 25 yrs. old and is only in his 3rd year in the league. Come on, just b/c he had what seems to be a minor injury in camp, let's not speculate that he's going to be injury prone.

I think that's a valid concern. He missed time last year with an injury as well

I think we need just one thread for all these injury reports. It seems like everyone who get a bruise will get their own thread and people will freak out because in training camp they call it an injury.

I just got a paper cut while rushing to post on this website. Awaiting the results of the MRI. LOL. :cool-smil

Heyer played 12 games in 2007...was that also b/c of injury or was he just not starting?

These worries are legit. Heyer has been hurt before, and this time Jansen won't be around to bail us out.

I don't think they really want another "bail out" like Jansen's. That is why they cut him.

The play of the offensive line should improve and I think Haynesworth is likely making the unit look worse than it is, but I'm pretty concerned about the offense. Samuels, Rabach, and Thomas are old, Thomas and Samuels are coming off of injuries, and I don't trust a healthy Heyer to protect JC. Hopefully, we find someone who can come in and play RT for a year or until we find a better, long-term replacement for Jansen.

SGG, I agree. It is of concern that we have so many areas of potential concern up front. Certainly RT is a BIG one, I don't think Heyer is ready to start in this league at this time, he's a work in progress.

It also, doesn't appear Mike Williams will be ready for a while to make this great come back if at all.

Maybe Jeremy Bridges can fill the RT spot? When we picked him up I thought good Guard depth or maybe a challenger for Thomas given his health status. I know he has some Tackle experience, might want to see what he can do. Or make a move and pick up a Tackle.

NFL.com's Jason La Canfora reports that free agent OT Levi Jones is drawing interest from "several teams."

La Canfora isn't specific about these teams, so we're assuming the report was driven by Jones' agent. Jones wants a surefire starting job, but probably won't get one. He's only been linked to the Cardinals since Cincy cut him.

Im almost sure the Redskins are one of the teams talking to his agent....................

A few questions and thoughts about our Offensive Line:

- When I went to the Redskins training camp, our OL looked awful. I mean as soon as that ball was snapped, the line quickly turned into a circle around JC. Last year, for who ever went to our training camp, did our OL get manhandled as much as the are now?

- Why don't we move BIG Mike Williams in at guard? He is huge, and has more pass protection help than he does at right tackle. Because I don't think he's going to be a RT in the NFL. He just gets beat a lot by our pass rushers.

-Lets just go ahead and sign Levi Jones. He is a pro bowler, his knees should be healthy, and he is a starter at LT, so I could only assume that he'll do fine at RT. He's better than a good amount of the OLineman we have now, anyway.

-Is Jeremey Bridges working at guard or tackle, and is he getting good reviews from the coaches or is he being considered to start anywhere for us this year, because I have a hunch that Randy Thomas could be one of those surprise cuts for us, since he is dealing with two major operations on his neck and knee. And for Bridge's case, he was a starter for Carolina's OL that was one of the best rushing teams in the league.

Because hes not a guard. Remember he was a first round draft pick in 02, 4th overall as a Tackle. He has never played at the guard position in the NFL. And he's working out the wrinkles now, this guy has done well, losing the weight and all. But it remains to be seen whether he can even still play at this level and have some kind of miracle comeback. I hope he can challenge at the Tackle spot or at least be solid depth.

And I certainly hope we will have Thomas and Dock ready to roll by the time the season gets going.

Secondly, I believe Bridges is getting action at Guard and Tackle. Never know sounds like he is doing well, could be a nice pick up.

Randy Thomas is going nowhere.
