Redskins Insider: What we learned

[724Skinsfan]

An undrafted rookie not ready for the NFL? I'm stunned by this revelation!

I like what JLC does so I can't jump on him with this. I do tend to be pretty wary when all the negative stuff comes from other teams scouts who are off the record. There's no accountability and generally not much motivation to be honest. Not that there is a lot of motivation to be dishonest either but based on what this team does I just can't see them putting Heyer in there if it is as great a risk as everyone else thinks. I mean this is the same team that runs a country club training camp to keep everyone healthy. So they're gonna simply throw that extreme over-caution to the wind all of a sudden? Seems odd.

Even if he's overstating it, JLC is right, trusting a qb's blindside to an undrafted free agent rookie is too much of a gamble. At least give him some help w/a rb or te.

While I disagree with most of what JLC says, there's one point I DO agree with. He wasn't lying when he said it was an accident waiting to happen. Sure, sometimes you have to go with what you know, but putting an undrafted rookie starting at tackle, EVENTUALLY someone was going to blow past him because of a rookie mistake.

Sure, it could have happened to Samuels too, but the likelihood would have been much less.

I agree with his basic premise, but he seems to be almost blaming Heyer for the illegal hit on JC. That could have happened regardless of who was in there blocking. That's all I take issue with here.
