Re: O-Line Edition: Free Agency and the Draft

I am not sure why Jamal Brown gets bashed so much. He is a good RT, when healthy. I he can recover from the hip surgery, he still can have two or three years playing at a high level. I think we have more depth on the Oline, than we have had in ten years. Our back ups are Tyler Polumbus(26), Willie Smith(24), and Maurice Hurt(24). All young and still improving. The only time the Oline could not protect the QB was when Eric Cook was in at center(I cant stand him). Brown had no off season therapy last year and is now two years removed from the surgery. I would be happy with them picking a RT, but I don't think it is an emergency. If we had not got screwed with the cap situation we would have signed someone like Eric Winston. That would have been a luxury, it not a necessity. I would rather them pick a linebacker like Mykal Kendricks in third.

That's primarily the problem right there.

I'd love to see what he can do at 100%. Shanahan recently said that JB has been working on his flexibility this offseason by taking yoga and that's helped in breaking up scar tissue. Let's hope that helps him.

The problem is Brown hasn't been healthy in two years. I mean you can only give a guy so much time to get healthy. As far as Willie Smith goes, he was an UDFA last year. Occasionally picking up UDFA's work out, but more often than not they are stashed and given time to grow, meaning multiple seasons on the bench, before they are ready to start on a full time basis. Smith showed flashes last year but I would stash him some more and then give him a look in a couple more years. He's good enough to be a backup swing tackle right now though.

The fact of the matter is the Redskins gave the Saints a 3rd rounder for Brown. He has not stayed healthy for a full season since joining the Redskins. If Brown can't stay healthy, then we have to plug in someone else. Polumbus and Willie Smith have impressed. If the Redskins do draft a RT, and I believe we will, then that's more youth in the line-up. Brown is 31 years old and has been proven to not be able to stay healthy. Hell, we should have kept that 3rd round pick from 2010.

I read this week that Brown is trying something new to help his hip - yoga. Jammal Brown taking yoga classes to help left hip - Washington Times

I read that article. I'm all for a healthy Jamaal Brown playing an entire season. But the question is, can he? That hip is probably never going to be fully healed for as long as he's playing football, but he's trying hard to overcome that injury. Yoga and Tai Chi would stabilize the injury and get it to the point where it's not easily aggravated. But if he's loses time in 2012 for this same hip injury, then what?

Not like we needed a healthy starting right tackle or anything

Re: O-Line Edition: Free Agency and the Draft

He's also changed the spelling of his name to DeMetress...and when Orakpo has him lying flat on his back, we can call him Da Mattress...ba zing!

Anyhow, 5 year deal is about 4 years more than most people though he'd get. So it will be interesting the details

Re: O-Line Edition: Free Agency and the Draft

From Matt Williamson's NFL Chat:

NR (Columbia, MD)
What are some options at right tackle for the Redskins now that Bell is not available? I don't like going into the season with Jammal Brown as the only option, given the questions on his health.

Matt Williamson (12:05 PM)
Yeah, I don't blame you at all. Good observation. Maybe M McNeal or Pashos. It's not like the Skins have draft picks to get a lot of impact in the draft.

He will be in a Skins Uniform next year. He is a better player than JB.
