Also..were the Winnipeg Blue Bombers interested in this guy? I live in the Washington/Md area and follow the Redskins. They valued him and wanted to keep him but they didn't have the cap wherewithal to retain him. When their all-pro LT Trent Williams got injured he filled in. There was no drop off in the OL's performance. Just because this player has had a long and winding journey in football that doesn't mean that he can't play. It doesn't matter if a player is a first round pick or a free agent draftee. What matters is how he actually plays. My recommendation to you is to be patient and open-minded about this player. I'm confident that you will come to the conclusion that when he gets an opportunity to play he will be better than the person he replaced. Getting better is what it is all about. This was a terrific pickup from both a talent and value standpoint. 5 1

Dawkins is going back to RT where we drafted him. morse at center , long, teller and bodine battle for the 2 guard spots.. loser of long , bodine is backup Center Trying to figure out this Oline combo is like trying to figure out the Morse Code, OH wait a minute ? 1

daz28 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 A few people have already floated the idea of him starting at LT, and that's where I'm at right now. The Skins fans at SBN mostly seemed to think he struggled at RT for whatever reason, but played admirably when filling in at LT(almost not missing a beat). Money is starting to get a little tight, so I'm thinking Williams may not be coming over, so that leaves a hole at RT, which some posters don't want DD to move to. This creates the problem of no RT now, and no LT in the very near future. I just think it's really important that these guys are all in the right places(maybe I'm OCD). Perhaps we can draft someone to play RT this year, and then focus on LT next year? Nsekhe-DD-MM-camp battle-draft pick??

I was hesitant to use the feature at first, I thought I was being close-minded by blocking out certain opinions, then I realized some people just made me enjoy discussions less. Once I started ignoring certain posters I found that it helped a lot. I once used the ignore button on someone I found to be a bloviating and insufferable priiiiick. It turned out that I used the ignore button on myself. Does that mean that I lack self-awareness? 2
foreboding Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 This dude looks beast, exciting signing of an under-the-the radar guy. Good pro scouting- 1

We may end up drafting Jawaan Taylor or Risner, which would force Dawkins to LG- and that would give us a top-10 OL in my opinion. 1
