so far cro's career is shaping up to look like d hall's. probowler very early, known for being a ball hawk, then after a season or two, his flaws are highlighted and he becomes expendable.

Pennington hasn't signed with Miami yet. Still some interest in Washington.

Offensive tackle Tony Pashos set to visit Redskins today

Chad Clifton apparently isn't the only offensive tackle who will be visiting Redskins Park today. Tony Pashos, an unrestricted free agent from San Francisco, is scheduled for a visit in Washington, according to Aaron Wilson of the NationalFootballPost.com.

Pashos, who stands 6-foot-6 and weighs 326 pounds, played under Washington offensive line coach Chris Foerster in both San Francisco and Baltimore. He also played two seasons in Jacksonville.

In recent weeks, it seemed the 49ers were getting close to working out a deal that would keep Pashos in San Francisco. That might not be the case, though.

Pashos, 29, and Foerster are believed to have a close relationship and San Francisco coach Mike Singletary was asked during the NFL Scouting Combine whether Foerster's departure would make it tougher for the 49ers to keep Pashos.

"I don't think so. I talked with Tony. I think Tony had some familiarity with Chris Foerster. But I talked with Tony, and Tony feels comfortable about what we're doing," Singletary said. "He feels good about what we're doing in San Francisco. Certainly, they had a
good relationship, but hopefully things work out where Tony is back with us. But I know he feels good about what we're doing. . . .Hopefully, it works itself out. But once again it has to work for both sides and hopefully it gets done."

The fact that the Redskins have at least two tackles stopping by today should not be read as a free agency competition between Clifton and Pashos, however. The team could sign both and start next season with new faces playing both left and right tackle.

Excellent news, the Redskins seemed to have fooled everyone. We're actually addressing needs instead of wants. What a difference a real GM makes.

This is about 8 months too late (thanks, Vinny). Still it is a good move.

As far as some comments above go, we need a total OL makeover in terms of both starters and depth. So I can see us signing 3-4 free agents on the OL and still drafting as many as three guys.

[MTK]

I could really see us signing Pashos and Clifton, and still using 2 picks on the OL.

Absolutely. However, with those two, they may not go after Okung in the first round and, instead go after Bradford while picking a couple of linemen they can develop behind the veterans for a year (maybe two). I think I would still like Okung and then a 2nd round QB.

I'd like Okung, but I think if we're going to try to get our franchise QB in this draft, it's Bradford. I don't really see any of the other guys becoming successful QBs in the league, and I'm not entirely sure about Bradford.

I love that we are taking our time with FA. No crazed rush to sign the most expensive player on the market.
Kudos to Allen and Shanahan.
