can somone delete that pic, thats not what it was before

 

[LatinMind]

why when peope on here mention dallas' tackles they mention free and barron..when did barron become the starter?

That certainly is a good deal for the Commanders.They get a Pro Bowl caliber LT for a a couple of mid to late round picks.Yeah Brown is coming off a year where he sat due to an injury, but that injury isn't one that is considered a career changer/ender.Plus he's in the prime years of his career.Too bad the timing didn't match up. Makes me wonder if the Cowboys would have had a shot at a similar deal with the Saints. Maybe Carpenter plus a 4th for Brown. I'd do that deal in a heartbeat.A throw away player and a mid-round pick for some stability at OT is a no brainer.

 

[Jed_70]

He will help their oline simply because he's better then anything they have but he isn't all that and their oline is still flatout terrible. Trent Williams will probably play RT now but he only played Tackle for one year in college. He will get eaten up at RT as well. Spencer will have a monster game against him on opening day.

Wrong.He's played Tackle since his Sophmore year at Oklahoma.

The reports here in the DC area was that he only played LT one year in college but he was a ALL AMERICAN at guard. That's what I heard, I don't follow college football that close so I really don't know...

Yeah I wish the boys had done this deal but they are so set on Free that they really do not seem to want to do anything else; Barron is regarded as an underacheiver and backup. Now if they had gotten Brown then HE would be the man at LT. I think Jerruh screwed the pooch.

Where in the hell are you hearing that report?

Trent Williams played tackle only at Oklahoma.

Brown played RT as a rookie and LT since then.

The reports in DC are ACTUALLY saying (not what Mansta wants them to say) that Williams will stay at LT and Brown will move to RT

Perhaps the more likely scenario is to keep Williams at left tackle, protecting Donovan McNabb's blind side, and start Brown at right tackle, a position he played his rookie season in New Orleans.

To think, we go from having Stephon sorry *** Heyer and "fill in the blanks" at tackle, Will Montgomery/Edwin Williams at guard, Jason Campbell at QB and Jim freakin Zorn as HC, to Williams and Brown at tackles, Hicks at guard, McNabb at QB, and Shanahan as head coach

I really don't like it when the Commanders make smart moves. Damn you Shanahan.

Yeah it sucks that they now have competent personnel making personnel decisions.

Cerrato will be missed.

You're right. The hip scope and the spors hernia aren't considered career changers/enders.

The long rumored degenerative knees might be, though.

The concern was evident as Payton, General Manager Mickey Loomis and owner Tom Benson gathered around the fallen Pro Bowler while trainers treated him.

Brown has endured knee problems in both legs for much of his playing career, dating to his days as an All-American lineman at Oklahoma. A sprained knee injury forced him to take a medical redshirt season as a freshman in 2000.

Because of his knee history, several teams had Brown listed as a medical red flag during their evaluations of him in the 2004 NFL Draft.
Brown has had minor problems with both knees as a pro, Payton said. The 2004

Outland Trophy winner wears knee braces on both knees during practice and games. He was voted to the Pro Bowl last season but skipped the game in order to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery. Brown said last week he was still experiencing slight pain in the knee.

"It's a little sore but I've just got to fight through it," Brown said last Thursday as he limped slightly from the interview tent.

Sitting out the season with the hip and hernia injuries last year just helped him mask his continued knee problems. There's probably a reason why a Superbowl contender was apparently desperate to get rid of a "Pro Bowl" tackle and why they couldn't get more for him than they did.

Glass half empty? :laugh2:

I like to think of it this way, he can't be that good if the Skins traded for him, they don't make good moves

Actually I don't care what the reports say, I'm telling you what I heard on WTEM the midgets radio station. So, its NOT what I want them to say, its what I heard on your flagship station. I could care less, Yall SUCK regardless of who yall sign.. Hey, how's Fat Albert working out for ya. Whats the report on that TROLL.... LOSERS!!!!

 

[casmith07]

So instead of 4 sacks, Ware will only get 3.5 when we play the Skins?

 

[dbair1967]

LOL at people actually worrying about this move. CLASSIC CZ wishy-washiness

Maaaan I'm not worried at all. I don't care who they sign, THEY CAN'T BLOCK US. McFlabb will be running for his life all game long...

i wouldn't call it worrying, but it is an upgrade that does make their team better. they now have a top 5-10 talent tackle draft pick along with a proven tackle, its a good move, but that team is far from matching up well with us but it is a step in the right direction

 

[SaltwaterServr]

You're right. The hip scope and the spors hernia aren't considered career changers/enders.

The long rumored degenerative knees might be, though.

I thought there was something about him that was an issue. Couldn't remember it for the life of me. Bad knees.

Still not even remotely concerned about the Commanders challenging the Eagles for 3rd place in the NFC East.

Its not an upgrade if he isnt healthy or continues his trend of being lazy.

Sean Payton believes Bushrod is better than Jamal Brown. That pretty much says it all to me.
