http://realredskins.com/2009/10/is-jones-the-answer-at-lt/ A blog for sophisticated Redskins fans Thu, 11 Mar 2010 06:03:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 http://realredskins.com/2009/10/is-jones-the-answer-at-lt/comment-page-1/#comment-3005 Robbo Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:32:37 +0000 http://realredskins.com/?p=2200#comment-3005 The more I ponder Levi Jones, the more I think this was a good move for the Skins assuming he isn't injured. The Skins have at least acknowledged they have line problems. I agree with Rich that Jones should be given a couple of weeks to come up to speed and should not be used until after the bye week. I sure hope he is able to contribute. Plugging leaks in the line will help. Having Jones as a short term solution makes sense. I also think the Skins should seek to build the line through the draft rather than free agency. Free agency hasn't always been kind to the Skins. Some good, a lot bad. I prefer to see them build through youth rather than perpetuating the expensive/over-the-hill strategy. So, with so much negative chatter about the state of the team right now, I find this a tad encouraging.

We don't need him for the rest of the year and might as well start the process of getting in a real GM who can start the process of evaluating player and coaching talent now. The right person may not be available just yet, but at least this will send the message that we are looking. Instead of trying to run Zorn out of town, Dannie should get rid of Vinnie now.

Just pick up some undrafted free agents or dust off an old fat guy. They're usually just as good. Why draft an offensive lineman when you can draft a receiver or a defensive back?!
