Redskins Resign Jamaal Brown

[12thMan]

I think our line is set guys: LT: Trent Williams, LG: Kory Lichtensteiger, C: Will Montgomery, RG: Chris Chester, RT: Jammal Brown

It's a wrap barring injury or someone like Selvish Capers or Stephon Heyer having a phenomenal training camp.

I think Browns gonna play better this season. Just a hunch.

Dang we need a Center. Other than that it looks okay.

If we had drafted Rodney Hudson that line would have looked amazing, at least on paper. However Montgomery is solid. Just don't expect him to be Matt Birk.

Really? That set you off? Rodney Hudson?

Seriously there needs to be a face palm limit. You guys are face palming anything these days.

Will Montgomery has a good motor, but I'm not sure he has the talent or strength to take on a guy like Jay Ratliff. It'll be interesting to see how that works out with Montgomery at center, but if he is better served as a depth guy I'm sure we'll go out and get an upgrade next offseason. Not sure if many people agree with me that we should look at this as a non-contending season, because you know what they say, any team can go from crappy to contender in one offseason, but I do think we shouldn't get our hopes up.

Oh, no way we are contending this season ... I'd be stoked with 9-7 and possibly sneaking into the playoffs. But cleansing the team of locker room malcontents, adding solid talent and depth at a reasonable price, no absurd contracts to aging has-beens (archuleta etc.) and all the other moves that Shanny/Allen have made/are making, are giving me hope that the attitude within the Redskins and about the Redskins around the league is changing for the better -- It's about building a team for the next decade and so far, that seems to be the plan internally as well.

Damn you guys wanted Rabach gone and now you are complaining about Montgomery may not be the answer. Before you want a player gone you better be sure you have a player that can replace him. Typical Redskins fans.

Well Montgomery is an unknown. Let me ask you this. We all have known for at least a couple seasons now that Rabach is not that good a starting center. In other words, he's crappy. Would you rather start a crappy player or an unknown quantity if those were your choices? Bear in mind, there's no potential upside with the crappy player. You know what you are getting with him. Alls I'm sayin is teams take risks with unknowns all the time, and you're never gonna know what you have unless you give them the opportunity. It's a simple risk/reward proposition.

And you read my post wrong if you think I'm complaining about Montgomery. I watched him in college at VT and now with the Redskins since he came here in the Zorn era. Could he do the job? Perhaps, I'm not going to judge him based on the limited quantity of his work so far. I'm just saying he's an unknown, and that's it.

Exactly. Rabach is done. We'll probably miss his head (he was still a smart player, just not good anymore), but we're a rebuilding team, we need to see what we have. Anyone here if we might be looking at Olin Kreutz?

You're joking right ... there is a difference between being unsure about someone at a position (Montgomery, Lichtensteiger etc.) and knowing that he will suck (Rabach). I lost track of how many times Rabach sacked our QB by stepping on his foot, running into him etc. Anyone is an improvement, it's just a question of how much of an improvement.

[Dirtbag59]

Yeah, best way to describe Monty might be, not as good as Rabach in his prime but better then Rabach the last two years.

Here's a video of Monty at Center. He plays the spot sometime after the 0:40 mark

Im glad we resigned Jamal Brown we gave the Saints a 3rd pick for him last season. We better be sure when we give up picks we really think a player can fill a need for us. RT dont grow on trees so welcome back Big fella. I wonder how the youngster Selvish Capers is looking thus far this camp? He sure needs too step up cause we may need him this year.

I am hoping he steps it up this year. I liked him coming out of college as he seemed like he had the tools and, as a converted TE, possibly the athleticism. Read somewhere he was looking lost in camp. Not sure how reliable that is but hope it is just early camp jitters. It may be that he is just not the sharpest tack in the box.
