geez, just what we need. another broken down, 30 something year old lineman

vallin21 · 03-11-2009, 08:51 AM

YES!!! I'd sign Pace to a 1-2 yr deal and slide him to RT. He won't have to face top pass rushers and he can be on a contender. He would fill a need and give us solid production. SIGN PACE!!!

Pace has always seemed to be one of those players with a pedigree..because somebody annointed him "great" he never goes to training camp..he has played 11 games since 2005 w/ no starts since '06

??? He started 14 games last year. He did miss all of '06 and half of '07 though.

Orlando Pace Statistics - Pro-Football-Reference.com

was wrong

Rams release 7-time Pro Bowl OT Orlando Pace

spells it out as you said... the Rams were so bad last season and then we lost to them..I don't remember watching them at all

Pace is getting cut by a team that has had one of the worst O-lines In the NFL the last few years. This is not even worth talking about.

Good call. Hopefully that ends this conversation.

HAIL!

Miller101 · 03-11-2009, 09:50 AM

no way. waste of money and we already have someone of Orlando's caliber under contract............John Jansen. Why get two old back up tackles when we only need one? These old guys that come on board have been tormenting me and my team for over a decade now. Lets stop bringing on old guys. They don't got it no more. They're old. They're lazy. They don't work out as hard. They're old. Rookies like to "measure up" to them because of their name. They're old. Rookies own them most of the time. Did I mention that they're old?

Let him go to Dallas so our rookies can own him! Or Philly. Or better yet, New York! I freakin hate those guys!

Usually pro-football reference is right on the money.

Yea, I guess your right. The Skins should cut Samuels too cause they had a bad O-line also.

Guess what....one man does not make a team. Just cause they had a terrible O-line does not mean Pace sucks. It means either the scheme was flawed, there were break downs in other positions on the O-line, or possibly Pace sucked. One telling point of view would be to look at how many sacks he gave up. Perhaps look at how far the runs went on his side of the line.

If we could bring him in on the cheap and have Buges work with his techniques maybe he will still have some gas left in him. I mean Samuels was (so I heard) written off before the Skins got him and thats why he speaks so highly of Buges. Yes Pace is older, but an upgrade is an upgrade. I still wonder if the Skins will play a Rookie in the O-line who has not played in any NFL games and needs to get up to NFL speed. It seems the team frowns on it. Every coach that comes in has not put the Rookies in on offense. Defense has been a different story though.

edit: Before you all mention Heyer remember he got in due to injury and lack of depth.

GMScud · 03-11-2009, 11:17 AM

While I doubt the Skins will sign Pace, his release could affect us as far as the draft goes. This really increases the likelihood of St. Louis taking a tackle with their first pick, meaning one less of the "big 4" for us to choose from at 13.

^^well nevermind then..

I am pretty amazed at the sentiments in this thread. The people against Pace I don't get. Is it that he isn't any good? I don't think there are any indications that he slipped so far as to not be able to play better than what we currently have. The question is durability to me. If he can stay on the field, or rather can be reasonably expected to stay on the field then I see no reason why he can't be a 1 year stop gap at RT for the right price. It would allow us to draft at another position of need. A OLB or DE both of which take longer to get acclimated. Plus...and this is a biggie for me. We can have some confidence that he can swing to LT and not get our QB killed if Samuels goes down.
