Watching Montgomery at the U. of M he consistently made plays, his game was always in the oppositions backfield. Hard to figure what happened to him after coming here other than perhaps his work ethic.

He did the same thing with Wilson I think. Technically it is new I guess, but I don't want people think he signed some long-term deal because best as I can tell that's not the case

one thing i'm beginning to worry about is it doesnt seem like we're doing anything to extend any of our RFAs. This means that all these guys will be UFAs next year. It seems to me if the coaching staff really likes some of these guys, we should atleast try to lock them up for a 3 years so we dont lose half our roster after the season.

Well that's not quite right, out of the guys we have kept:
3 signed 1 year contracts: Campbell,Will Montgomery(C) and Chris Wilson

1 signed a 2 year contract: Daniels

2 signed a 3 year contract: Casey Rabach, Lorenzo Alexander

1 signed a "multi-year" contract: Mike Williams

and 3, Heyer, Montgomery and Golston just signed their tenders.

So out of the 6 that are 1 year or tender signees how many do we really expect to be long term solutions? Maybe Golston and Wilson?

thanks for the info - although i was under the impression that these multi-year contracts didnt come with enough garaunteed money attached to make them anything more than 1 year contracts with team options for the remaining years.

That may be so, but they wouldn't be true free agents just available to be cut if the team wants to. I also didn't look at the other free agents we signed, so there may be more validity to what you said, if you include those contracts as well.

I also hope DS continues learning, so that we have a top notch owner for the rest of his tenure.

Back to Golston. I remember one of the two Montgomery and Golston were looked at as a guy who outperformed his potential, and one who underperformed, can anyone remind me which was which?

thanks

I wonder what makes them think he's expected to play NT when we have Kemo.

I could see Golston as a 1-gap penetrarting NT ala Ratliff but he's not Ratliff.

I think he would make a decent 3-4 DE/ 5-tech.

We have Kemo at NT..why do the redskins insist on getting guys that don't fit the NT mould...Haynesworth and Gholston for the real NT, Kemo??

Well Kemo is coming off a injury from last season. I think he missed most of last season. We need depth at the NT position so who knows who will be the starter this season.

Kemo may not even be on the field by the preseason...

Kemoeatu's Achilles' tendon is healed, but according to reports by Jason Reid of the Washington Post, Kemo's agent is stating that it is uncertain whether he will be in on-field condition by the preseason.

The team has 3 NTs already. 3-4 DE is a weakness now, and if Haynesworth is gone, then End is a major problem. Golston has to be an End, IMO.
Way too many 4-3 DEs and 3-4 OLBs, and not enough 3-4 DEs and 3-4 ILBs.

[JLee9718]

Golston might not be a star, but he's a solid player on the defensive line. You never hear him complaining, like AH or CP.
