PFT: Jets trade G Pete Kendall to Skins *Merge*

[AmishGangsta]

Pal, I honestly think their fondness for the short passing game was predicated on a lack of confidence in the quality of their pass blocking... they didn't trust that line to protect long enough for patterns to come open downfield...

ESPN insider had and Scouts inc had us at 10, even after the loss of Dockery -- I'm going off of pure memory here, I can't access those pages because I'm not a member.

7. Washington Commanders
The Commanders have one of the best tackle combinations in the league in Jon Jansen on the right side and Chris Samuels on the left. They are big parts of a unit that was one of only three in the NFL to give up fewer than 20 sacks (19) in 2006. At the same time, they were able to gain over 4.5 yards per carry and pile up the fourth-best overall rushing total (2,216 yards) in the league. With the highly respected Joe Bugel coaching the line, the players are starting to live up to expectations. They are not the heaviest line in the league, but they are athletic and do a great job of eliminating mistakes that can cause turnovers and losses. Center Casey Rabach has become the glue that holds the unit together and is just coming into his prime in his sixth season. Guard Randy Thomas is also in his prime.

here's a pretty interesting link, the Skins are in the tops of the league in an assortment of rankings in 2005 and 2006,

I'm sure you can dig up something negative about the line in that link, enjoy, I'm outta time, going to work.

As far as them having a dink and dunk offense, they were actually somewhere in the middle of the pack with plays 20+ and yards per play avg, and I think that had more to do with Al Saunders adjusting the offense to fit Brunells ability, and after that starting a first year quarterback. The lack of a #2 receiver didn't help either.

Dayum, the Skins actually made a good move... Kendall's not a stud, but he's better than anything they had to line up at guard...

Yeah. Kendall is better than what they had. Assuming he still has something. If there goal is to win now, then it is a good move.

Personally, I think they should be trying to rebuild in which case it is a bad move. Giving up a 4th for a guy that won't play for them after this season is not building for the future.

But regardless of how you look at it, if you look at the big picture, the personnel moves at LG are a bad move. Let DD leave, pay Wade to be his replacement, then spend money and a pick on Kendall to bring him when they are left with nothing. It would have been cheaper and better long term for them to just keep DD. But instead of just paying him, they are paying Wade+Kendall to be starting LG, lost a draft pick, and have no long term plan at LG.

It was a smart pickup i'll give them that, but he wanted more money from the jets that's why he became so disgruntled. Kendall still wants a significant pay raise. I'm curious to see if danny boy gave him a hefty raise.

great - thanks for the update but it doesn't change that the line sucked or they'd not be trading for a 34 year old tackle who's mad at his current team.

another wr? they've got a refugee camp of 'em as it is.

Ok so your a homer your not a realist....Kendall is a upgrade over what they had, do you disagree with that? Never mind your right they got the worst line in the history of the NFC....You win

you're - it's just 2 words to put together. : )

why would i be a skins homer? i'm a cowboy fan also. am i a cowboys homer? you must not have been here last year during my whine-fest on the OL problems. homers don't usually do that.

i didn't say it was an upgrade over what they had. pay attention or just quit replying. what i said was *if* he's an upgrade their line can't be too good to begin with AS ILLUSTRATED by a skins fan saying their Tackle to Guard experiment didn't work out and their backup G got hurt, putting them in this situation.

now if you feel like going to extremeville, this is where i get off as i freaking HATE people who hear one thing and assume stupidity after that.

 

[redskins1]

How many more mess up does it take for skins fans to realize how unbelivebly bad these strategies are?

my oh my,your team has not won a playoff game in 11 years so how bad is your teams strategies?

Didn't I say you were right....Or do you need to get off by telling all the other bikers at the dinner table that your the man on the message boards....

I have short hair and am a biker.

No wonder I'm so screwed up.

[SkinsandTerps]

The value people put on a 4th round pick or later is crazy to me. Even if its a third rounder.

 

[AdamJT13]

Further proof that the ghost of George Allen is running the Commanders.

Ok ...... that makes just as much sense.

If you knew anything about the Commanders in the early 1970s, when Allen was their coach, you'd understand the reference.

You can get "Pete Kendall" in the fourth round.

And he'll be 23.

And cheap.

And not retiring in two years.

Understand what I mean? And why those picks are so valuable?

 

[SkinsandTerps]

I know plenty about the Commanders, still that doesnt explain the weak reference.

Trading for a guard is similar in what way ?
