And he is a legit blocker, something we didn't have last year.

Way better than Compton checking in as eligible every other play.

EDIT: Sorry Chico, just saw your post. Agreed.

Welcome back Logan!

IF healthy easily our best blocking TE and a better receiver then he gets credit for being.....and cheap


Kendall Reyes welcome to the fold. He might not match Hatcher in production either pass or the run but he's younger and experience in Barry's system.

Looking at what we have right now on defense:


CB-Breeland ROLB-Smith DE-Reyes NT-Baker DE-Ricky-Jean/Paea LOLB-Kerrigan CB-Culliver NB-?

Nickel DL: Edge Rusher-Preston Smith-Paea-Kerrigan

ILB-Foster ILB-Riley

FS-Hall SS-Duke S/NB-Jarrett


I like Foster at ILB and it looks like maybe Riley is being given a mulligan on the shaky/injury plagued year 1 transition into Barry's D.

My Free agent needs on defense:
3rd CB (2nd CB really b/c its seems unwise to pencil Cully in as healthy)
Nickel Edge rusher
Interior rusher in Nickel

Cooley mentioned it on the radio tonight:

Reyes was PFF's worst graded 3-4 DE last year.

McLovin forgot to re-up his subscription!

They signed him as a safety. He had as many interceptions as all the safeties on the roster.

Seriously, he will not make the team if they have a good draft.

For someone that doesn't like PFF you sure are obsessed with it. I don't think it takes PFF to let anyone know that Reyes production doesn't match Hatchers. You can look at plane old nfl.com counting stats to figure that out.

But, here's something for fans that might look a lil deeper.

Former Charger Kendall Reyes lands with Redskins

10:35 a.m. ET, Fri., March 11

Washington has agreed to a one-year deal with Kendall Reyes. The former second-round pick played as a 3-4 defensive end in San Diego, and will likely play in the same role as a reserve for his new team. Reyes has struggled to live up to his draft status thus far in his career. After an average rookie year, his overall grade has ranked last or second-to-last at his position in each of the last three years. He has graded negatively in run defense in every year in the league, but he did have one good season as a pass-rusher in 2012, when his 8.1 pass-rushing productivity ranked fourth among 3-4 DEs. Expectations won’t be high in Washington, though it is possible that a fresh start with a new team and coaching staff can help turn him around. – Matt Claassen, @PFF_Matt

Me:

Scouts like to talk about a singular trait or ability that highlights why their team would want a prospect. For Reyes his upside is the ability the showed as a interior pass rusher in 2012. (see bolded above) Hatcher lives in the top 5 of pass rush productivity for 34 DEs, but if Reyes can re-capture that a depth player then its a good selection. Back-up money with upside of top 5 DE productivity.

I would like to know for sure Amerson's mom is or isn't grading for PFF. I haven't read definitively one way or another. If Tawanna was churning out the grades on Mondays throughout the season, it would explain a lot in how Amerson won the coveted PFF most improved player award.

I can think of a dude who was benched in 2014 and is now franchised with his name next to a bunch of records who would have given Amerson a run for his money except for Tawanna skewing everything.

You accidentally put an "s" at the end of "live" instead of a "d."

Reyes had the same amount of sacks and more tackles than Hatcher last year.

Hatcher is another year older. He was a good player but he can't take the wear and tear of a 16 game season. Whenever he would string a lot of playing time together without a break last year, his play declined significantly. His body wasn't able to recover as quickly as a younger guy.

It was time to move on based on age alone.

One thing we don't talk about as much as we should is the concept of having role players. As you pointed out in your post, the Skins must think that Reyes has the potential to help as a situational inside pass-rusher. Joe Barry coached him in SD, so the Skins know more about him than most teams. He isn't going to be highly paid so he's worth a shot, IMO.

Joe Gibbs was known as "the ultimate role player coach" and he did alright.

I've agreed with you so much lately that I may need to get a "checkup from the neck up". Or, perhaps I'm just now coming to my senses.

A FA CB would be nice. There are a couple of decent ones still available.

I don't see any FA OLB who excites me as a fan, other than our own Junior Galette. Inside LB can be addressed in the draft.

I hear ya, ideally we can address these positions in the draft (DL, OLB even CB). But you never now how the draft will play out and in the early rounds where Scott likes BPA it may not necessarily match up with the positions we need. I would like to enter the draft with as money holes addressed as possible through FA in order to maintain a BPA approach.

I agree Edge rushers (OLB) are thin and even though I like Junior if he's playing hardball I would be happy with Jason Jones as nickel edge rusher. I could even get behind Andre Branch.

And there's still a handful of CBs out there that I like.

Hicks is intriguing....nick fairly too. Right now I'm on the Reggie Nelson bandwagon...read a little more about him yesterday, guy could be a difference maker.
