Re: Is Leonard Davis going to be a Redskin?
 

[quote=RedskinPete;282687]Here is some more news out of Arizona on Davis.....It is being reported that Davis has been offered contracts from Cowboys,Giants and Redskins. He is leaning towards the Boys. But the Boys wanted him to move inside and his agent said Davis wouldn't be for that. The Giants are not that much in the mix because he would't like being under Tom C so that leaves the Skins. If he don't wanted to move inside why would the Redskins needed him except as back up?[/quote]

Link please.

We have no intentions of playing him at tackle. We're thinking of making him a G.

Re: Is Leonard Davis going to be a Redskin?
 

Leonard Davis is known around the league as a guy who has never played up to his potential. He was the second pick in the draft, I believe in 2001 behind Michael Vick. He was supposed to be amazing, and he is nothing but an under achiever. I really hope the Skins do not pick him up, he does not deserve a big pay check, the only reason he will get one is because of the lack of talent in the FA market in general this year. They need to do whatever it takes to resign Dock.

Re: Is Leonard Davis going to be a Redskin?
 

While moving Jansen inside might not be ideal and he might balk at it, I don't think it would be horrible. Jansen is still a decent run-blocker and tends to get beat by faster DEs who can get around the edge.

he never panned out, so he is exactly the type of guy we sign. the only good he would do here is line depth

He didn't pan out as the #2 pick, but he's still a darn good O-lineman.

you dont think bugel is licking his chops with this guy's potential? he's always been known to get the most out of his lineman. if we could get him at a reasonable price, i bet bugel could make this guy a pro-bowler.

Re: Is Leonard Davis going to be a Redskin?
 

Davis is a solid left tackle. I can't see him being any cheaper or better than Dock. He clearly isn't better than Samuels. I guess maybe Jansen could swing inside but I don't think Jon would like that too much. This doesn't make much sense to me. Unless they just think that Davis can be had at a similar price to Dock and that he'd be better. Is this another case of "he's replaceable"? I hope not. They need to be mighty convinced that Davis is better in my opinion.

He is a top 15 left tackle. Maybe top 10. Probably like 12th. He is decent and given his size might be a incredible road grader in the middle. I can't see him pulling much though. He's so damn big. He makes Dock look like a puffin.

Re: Is Leonard Davis going to be a Redskin?
 

I would rather just resign Dock.

Re: Is Leonard Davis going to be a Redskin?
 

If they cost the same, resign Dock for any number of reasons.

The only way I sign Davis is if he is asking SIGNIFICANTLY less than Dock AND Dock is asking for a prohibitive amount (15M+).

Re: Is Leonard Davis going to be a Redskin?
 

If we start inserting new players & moving others around on the line, it could set the offense back after they just started to his stride late last year. This is not the season to make major adjustments IMO. If we can't resign dock, get another guard who will take his place, draft or f. agency.

Re: Is Leonard Davis going to be a Redskin?
 

I'd rather have Doc, too. But if they could convince Davis to move inside he would give us a lot of flexibility if if a tackle were to get hurt during the season (heaven forbid).

Re: Is Leonard Davis going to be a Redskin?
 

This is exactly what the Redskins do...they always try to outsmart themselves. Lets sign him and move Jansen here and then put him here...how about just signing Dock and keeping the f-in line in tact! They never win becasue they are constantly in flux!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Davis came into the league he played guard. I am 100% in favor of this. He has the versatility to play both postions. If we give him enough green he would play tackling dummy.

He has been labeled as an underachiever but that is because he was a top 5 pick. Here he would be the #5 lineman.

I don't know who has seen the highlight of him literally picking up a blitzer and chokeslamming him but it is one of the most viscous moves I have ever seen by an O-lineman.

Re: Is Leonard Davis going to be a Redskin?
 

Of course we will pay davis he wasnt drafted by the skins. Thats why dock going to leave. Danny cant sell dock jershey but davis is a new guy, so you can sell new jersheys.
