Some teams play depth game better than others

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 06:53:40 -0500

As we reported this morning, the Redskins' starting lineup will see some changes this weekend against the Broncos. While it's easy to focus on the absence of running back Clinton Portis (doubtful, concussion) and safety Chris Horton (out, toe), it's difficult to overstate what it means for the offensive line to undergo yet another shuffling of faces. With tackle Mike Williams (ankle) out for two to four weeks, the Redskins will field their fifth different offensive line of the sea...

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:52:50 -0500

Despite signing only last Tuesday, tackle Levi Jones was active on Monday night while 2008 third-round draft pick Chad Rinehart did not dress. Rinehart initially started in place of right guard Randy Thomas when the veteran was lost for the season with a torn triceps, but was benched for Mike Williams and then Will Montgomery, who started there against the Philadelphia Eagles in Monday's loss. Jones, who was brought in to provide depth at tackle after the loss of Chris Samuels, who is exp...

Cornelius Griffin, Chris Horton, Kareem Moore, and Hunter Smith were also all back at practice and are expected to play. The Monday Night Football crew was on the sidelines doing their game prep -- Mike Tirico, J...

Is Jones the answer at LT?

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:26:20 -0500

Is Levi Jones the answer for the Washington Redskins troubled left tackle spot? He certainly wants to be. “It’s a golden opportunity,” Jones said. “Hopefully, I can be a part of the turnaround and get this thing going.” It appears certain the Chris Samuels will miss the rest of the season and there are reports that he has [...]

Green Bay Packers workout former Bengals tackle Levi Jones

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:08:42 -0500

When the Bengals released Levi Jones in early May, it was one of those things that just didn't surprise you. Jones' injury severely hurt his performances. No longer would he be the team's left tackle that, for the most part, had performed as well as any left tackle in the league. Jones has expressed interest in returning to the state of Arizona where he played college ball. The Green Bay Packers are taking a flier on the left tackle, after the offense gave up 12 sacks throug...
