Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown

[rbanerjee23]

We've been making some big moves this offseason but it just feels different b/c after so many years of Vinny bringing in vastly overrated talent for way too much (picks + money), we've made some really quality moves w/o coming close to betting the farm.

I mean Allen and Shanahan brought in a top 15 OT for a 3rd/4th round pick. That's got to look good compared to Vinny who was thinking of giving up 2 1st round picks for Ochocinco.

As someone pointed out, I wouldn't be the least surprised if Brown turned in a Pro-Bowl year. Not saying he will, but if healthy he's certainly capable.

^^ 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.

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.

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

[bigant]

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

[Longtimefan]

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.

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.

[skinsfan69]

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

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.

[over the mountain]

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?
