One player the Skins cannot afford to lose to injury in '09

I usually catch NFL guru Chris Landry on sports radio coming home from work and being in a Redskins area people always calling in askings Skins questions. The one constant issue Landry always has is the Redskins is overall depth on both lines and linebacker, especially O-line. It doesnt take a guru to see that, but it validates the Skins biggest concern, age and injury along the o-line. I would say any injury along the o-line would be horrible especially Sameuls. Thomas or Raubach would be bad as well. I really am amazed the FO didnt make the the O-line more of a priority this off season. Dockery is big replacing Kendall. But Kendall was not the biggest issue last year at line, the RT position was bad and inconsistent play at center were bigger issues.

Offense: Campbell. He goes down who do we go to, Collins then Brennan/Daniels. At least we'd have a top 5 pick in the 2010 draft.

Defense: Fletcher, Haynesworth a close second. Fletcher is the QB on D. Haynesworth's presence will allow for Carter, Griff, Orakpo, etc. to face more 1-1s and collapsing the pocket helps the secondary. He's gone and we're back to last year, minimal pressure, minimal turn-overs.

Ethan Albright...without him we have no long snapper.

If not him I would have to say Chris Samuels as well

Chris Samuels....end of discussion.

Fletcher for me too. He's the glue on the defensive side of the ball. Plus, if he goes down, it stretches an already thin LB corps even thinner.

I don't think there would be a big drop off if Blades is needed. I think he's more than ready

I was thinking about Haynesworth, but since he has never played a full 16 game season, I think you can't count him as a can't lose guy.

Man what a horrible thread. Can yo usay "jinx". This like talking about DUI's while you are drinking at a bar, not a good idea.

As long as none of our guys are on the Madden cover we're OK.

I go with Portis. I dont think the Skins have any other threats on offense and the backup RBs dont scare anybody.

I will be shocked if Samuels can get thru the season injury free.
