Considering he had to play LT in place of a pro-bowler last year, i would say he was pretty darn impressive last year too.

Weve never heard anything from people within redskins park indicating they didnt think Heyer was not a starting caliber RT. We have some in the organizaiton who think he can be. others have doubts, but no one has indicated theres no way hes a starting RT - so how in the world did you reach that conclusion?

Dude we've all seen him play enough last year and he wasdn't that special. Whatever delusions you have about Heyer being our next RT is crazy. I guess if you want to think he's an ALL Pro RT after once good start that's fine, but you'll be dissapointed when Heyer is relegated to the bench Opening Day.

We saw Heyer play at LT last year, not RT. its a huge difference. Put Willis at LT and see how well he plays by comparison. I dont think Heyer is an automatic lock to be a stud RT in this league. I certainly never said he would be all pro. But what I am sure about is that Willis would not be a sigificant upgrade over Heyer.

Im not averse to resigning Kendall especially for the vet minimum. He would be very cheap with the cap credit we'd get for keeping him, but all things being equal, id much rather have younger guys back there.

Ive looked around for GTs post about other plans and couldnt find it. what did he say about our plans?

Willis may or may not be an upgrade over Heyer but I have seen no reason to believe he is. He did'nt start a game until his 4th year in the league and that was due to injury. Some of his starts also came at guard, not OT. According to the Washington Post, we have shown some interest in Willis. He is raw but has good size and performed well this year.
