Well, last year the Jets had great success running between both Guard/Tackle holes, but pretty limited success running on either side of the center.

So that doesn't tell you much. I guess it suggests that Kendall is not a weak link in the running game, but isn't a great strength either.

And keep in mind this is with Leon Washington as their leading rusher last year with 600 some yards. And Kevan Barlow right behind him at around 400.

You gotta figure Portis and Betts can do more damage than that.

It's funny because as I was going to sleep last night I was thinking I could seriously see the Skins making a move this week for a LG. This is one rumor I hope is true.

Comment:
Kendall is a smart, tough blue-collar veteran. He has good position versatility and in 2005 played both guard and center. He can handle calls and adjustments on the line. He has a good frame and long arms. He has above-average initial quickness into blocking patterns. He understands power angles and position. His arms and decent hands give him some ability to recover in pass protection. He plays with good awareness when helping out against inside games. But Kendall lacks bulk, flexibility and range. He doesn't bend well and struggles to maintain his pad level at the point of attack. He stops his feet on contact and spends too much time on the ground. He doesn't adjust well off the track on drive blocks and struggles to get position on backside cutoffs. He isn't very smooth. He has marginal balance and body control on pulls. He struggles to bend and slide his feet off short pass sets. He has trouble maintaining pocket depth.

This would certainly make me feel more comfortable about our entire OL. Not because Kendall is some kinda monster, but because he's at least serviceable at guard, and we'd have Wade for backup at tackle.

From a salary cap standpoint, the Lemar Marshall move now makes all the sense in the world. Cutting Marshall and signing Godfrey cleared approximately $1 million in cap space. I'd be shocked if the Marshall cut wasn't partially driven by the need to clear space for Kendall's $2.7 million hit this season.

To me, the pieces of the puzzle all fit now. The 'Skins clearly have been working behind the scenes to acquire an answer at LG. They needed to clear the cap space, the Marshall move allowed them to fit Kendall under the cap and still maintain enough space to extend Cooley this year if they wish.

It may be just a rumor at this point, but I think the salary cap moves of late speak to this being a 100% done deal. I'd take it to the bank, Kendall is a 'Skin.

Great series of moves IMO. Way to go FO.

I was just about to post the exact same thing Schneed. The Marshall move suddenly makes a lot more sense.

Yes it does....and who will the axe fall on next?

Nobody significant. The Marshall move cleared all the space we'd need to take on Kendall.

Of course acquiring Kendall means we have to drop one player to stay at the roster max. But that will likely be some no-name dipshit who has no shot at making the team.

At this point, after the Marshall move, the salary cap is not an obstacle to adding Kendall.

i actually like all that a lot. You're right about how lamar's cut makes more sense. I am actually really happy and content the way we did this.

I am really happy about this. Dockery wasn't worth the money and this is a good way to fix some wrongs. I still wish we would have locked doc up a year before but it is what it is.

Good post, Schneed. I agree.

Can we FINALLY show some love to Pro Football Talk, I mean they were dead on with releasing Marshall and now Kendall. Where's the love man? By the way, I don't like it for a 4th rounder, but that's just my thought.

[skinsfan242]

If this is true for a 5th I think it is a great move. We don't have a 4th so it can't be for a 4th unless 2009? Talk about Depth everywhere Samuels-Heyer, Kendall-Pucillo, Rabach-Pucillo, Thomas-(the guy from Princeton, his name escapes me), Jansen-Wade.

[MTK]

I'm happy giving up anything rounds 4-6 right now. I'm not going to nitpick.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Anybody know off hand what picks we have next year if we give up this fourth or fifth?
