I have nothing to hope for, just making an observation about the state of your o-line going against a defense that just pounded our QB. Maybe nothing will happen.

Polumbus exploring options
8:48
AM ET
Tyler Polumbus | Broncos
TopEmail

The Denver Broncos chose to waive right tackle Tyler Polumbus on Tuesday, per Mike Klis of the Denver Post, and now he'll have to venture into the uncharted waters of playing competitive football for a team that doesn't call the state of Colorado home.

According to Klis, the Broncos' new power-blocking scheme was not a match for Polumbus, who seems more of a fit in a zone-blocking scheme. Therefore, Klis opines that the Washington Redskins, Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks or Oakland Raiders could be a fit. Former NFL lineman and current Sports Illustrated scribe Ross Tucker thinks that the Dallas Cowboys or Pittsburgh Steelers might also show some interest. While everyone's in speculative mode, we'll go ahead and throw the Buffalo Bills in the mix, given their massive need on the bookends.

2010 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc.
Grade: 62 | Key


Comment: Polumbus is a quality backup who can step in and give the occasional start as he develops his strength and technique. He knows how to use his size and arm length to control and steer opponents on by the pocket, but will become a leaner and overextend, causing him to fall off blocks at times. He lacks the kind of lateral range to seal off the corner vs. some of the league's better edge rushers but knows how to protect the pocket and play within himself. He does not do a great job of finishing blocks off, but he is still improving and could develop into an adequate starter in time.

Interesting.. sounds like he'd be on the same level of Heyer though

Personally at this point I would rather have Polumbus and Heyer then just Heyer as a backup Tackle. Also at 25 the guy is young enough to develop. Much to my chagrin, Capers is probably going to be lucky to make the practice squad. Cook on the other hand will probably make the practice squad but he's not ready to play in the NFL.

ESPN The Magazine NFL Preview will be out later this week. Good piece on Tony Washington (the OL with the sister issues) as well as some other good features.

As for the predictions

Jaws: Ravens over Cowboys (Redskins Wild Card)
Gruden: Colts over Saints (Redskins no playoffs)
Others (Mag Writers/Football Outsiders/Scouts): Ravens over Packers (Redskins Wild Card)

Anybody else watching the Redskins vs. Ravens replay right now? I refuse to say that Suggs owned Williams this game. I saw Williams pancake him even more times than I saw before. Yes, everyone wants to concentrate on the one or two plays that Suggs owned him, but that's pretty damn good considering.

Yeah I'm watching it too. I totally agree. I thought. Williams played pretty good. Not great but pretty good. No yeah in hell he got owned.

Did ESPN the Mag really predict the Cowboys to be last place in the NFC East or am I dyslexic.

Dallas' defense looks better than they are projecting, but man, Romo to Austin is the only thing that's gone right for those guys offensively in the preseason. Those two are in midseason form, but everyone else looks horrible.

Yea IDK where that came from? Williams did really good on Suggs.. Sometimes ppl forget that Suggs is a top 5 DE/LB, and Trent is a rookie.

[GusFrerotte]

Even if Suggs did rough Trent up, that is to be expected. Trent is our new Chris Samuels!
