Jon Asamoah???

[Off The Grid]

I'm just kidding, of course.

That wasn't a Question.

For those wondering. . . .

Falcons reach injury settlement with Jon Asamoah

The issue is that it's not entirely clear that he's healthy enough to play.

 

[ViperGTS]

If he is healthy might be worth a look. Add another good lineman body for the playoff run.

Upgrade over Kline IMO

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Miguel says the Patriots have less than $2m in cap space. Unlike Stephen Jackson, I don't see him signing for peanuts. Seems unlikely to me, but who knows....

 

[IllegalContact]

Does he play tackle?

It'd literally be only for two weeks, if it happened.

And, BTW, the league pays fixed salaries for the postseason which don't count against the salary cap.

Wasn't he one of the highly touted OL in recent years? Short arms maybe, IIRC? Or small school? He had a wart or three from what I remember.

All that aside, I'd like to see Jackson and mason take over, their upside and my rose colored shades make one helluva picture of the future interior line with Stork and even Andrews.

Asamoah was a 2010 3rd Rounder and was actually the guy who took the starting Gig at Kansas City from none other than Brian Waters in 2011, thus sending the latter into our waiting arms when the Chiefs inexplicably cut'm. Waters was of course an integral part of that 2011 Super Bowl Season.

He would be a tremendous Talent to add for nothing...And if it meant less Snaps for Klein, all the better.

I am all about developing Shaq Mason at Left Guard and Tre Jackson at Right.

And Asamoah has the Power and Agility ~ and above all: The Mechanics and the Motor ~ not only to compete with those guys but to develop into a guy who can bring substantial Impact off the Bench. The Difference between bringing a guy like he could develop into off the Bench and a guy like Klein has proven, a thousand times, to be the Difference between competing for a Championship...and winning a Championship.

Jon Asamoah is a Power Guard and would not be a fit if I was the Offensive Line Coach.

But as Coach DeGuglielmo has already proven masterful at developing Linemen and as he clearly prefers Power with a pinch of Agility, Asamoah strikes me as a perfect fit for this Crew.

 

[Luxusdk]

I think he's a great RG in a power scheme. But I dont think he works fully in Pats scheme, infact its the same thing with Jackson. They have some of the same skills and lack of mobility.
But Asamoah is better then Jackson and I agree with you Grid regarding Kline

But Mason gonna be much better then both of them, since he do have mobility and works when they use zone schemes. That sayed, I would love Mason at RG and finding another LG. OR swap Stork and Mason

If Kline gets cut, there's no way he'll get through waivers. The MBTA has had their eye on him all season.

 

[pdangle]

Its one thing to bring in a RB (with limited team responsibility - objectively y speaking), and another altogether a green OL as one of 5 integral pieces of the front line. Won't happen.

It's called Depth.

 

[pdangle]

It's called Depth.

My point being...

Not enough time to acclimate a new OL. At least one better net-net than an existing backups at OL while losing a 53 (ST prob) off the roster.

Pass ...........

Mason plays exclusively on the left.

That's helpful. If the guy can play at this point, he might want to sign on just to get in the audition time with a team that'll be seen in the postseason. He'd be doing it to generate interest in a contract for 2016 going forward. He shouldn't care much about the salary rate for those two weeks; in fact, he might want to make a statement that he's a reasonable guy to deal with.

 

[captain stone]

How about Todd Herremans?

 

[DaBruinz]

Hopefully they'll sign Asamoah to a future's contract.. Though it is disturbing that the Falcons gave up on him.. May be something more there that we don't know..
