The minicamp gave Zorn his first look at the team's draft picks and a chance to evaluate some undrafted rookies and other players brought in for tryouts. One player who made a good impression is guard Jeremy Bridges, who spent the last three years with the Carolina Panthers. The Redskins scheduled Bridges for a physical and hoped to have him signed Sunday night.

I was hoping we could resign him. He's a solid backup.

DT Gary Gibson was also picked up (by the Rams, I think).

The young guys are definitely going to have to step up this season.

with a qb like jake who cannot scramble at all our OL will always be frowned upon..

[scpanther22]

what about hackett..he could make a good #3 with the skins

[Murph]

I also read DJ Hackett was there also and got noticed but no contract talks yet.

That doesn't make any sense. The point of having a good OL is that the QB doesn't have to scramble. Dan Marino was a virtual statue, but you didn't hear people knocking guys like Richmond Webb and Keith Sims because of it.

Back on topic, word indeed was the Skins might sign D J Hackett as well.

I still think we made a mistake in cutting him but I can understand why we did it..Our WR need to do more than play the position…playing special teams..Blocking..and with Hackett’s injury history that just could not work with him..but I think they got a good WR all they need know is a competent FO

yea but there are still gonna be instances when a qb needs to be mobile..just wish jake could atleast make defenders miss a lil..hes like a turtle w no legs back there

this is the stuff we should be seeing, and let me point out that this has been happening this offseason where players are leaving and starting elsewhere. All the while, they were only backups for our team.

When the Patriots got those extra picks due to them losing their own players without compensation, I remember hearing how we haven't had that happen because we couldn't coach up players...

Just thought I'd throw that out there... =P

I wouldn't exactly say he is mobile but he did have 2 scrambles for TDs last year. He was also only sacked 20 times all year. What exactly do you expect??

[uptowndlo34]

that sucks. Bridges was a beast. He was the one vet back up that would have made our oline outstanding. But good ridannce to him and hope he keeps his personal life straight

Better strippers to be sued by in DC

i expect a better player at the QB position, is that too much to ask for Jerry Richardson?
