Samuels Out Next Week

Anyone see how the Dolphins moved the pocket around to avoid the pass rush? The commentators on SportsCenter even pointed it out in the highlights this morning. There are ways to scheme against the pass rush when your O-line ain't getting it done.

Screens, bootlegs, draws (RB and QB draws), Wildcat, etc. If we had competent coaching, we could at least compensate a little for the injuries across the O line.

I was watching that too last night. What it made me think of was that stretch run play in which we gave up a safety. I wonder how good our O line would be at moving the pocket laterally? I'm thinking not so good.

Yeah big boi williams wouldnt be so great moving across the line like that

44 Deezel:

What the Dolphins' O-Line did last night was to take the Jets' defense and smash them in the mouth and push them back off the ball several yards on most plays. That is why the Dolphins were successful in running the ball and protecting the passer and running the wildcat.

Coaching can just do so much; you need players on the OL who can come off the ball and drive defenders back three or four or five yards more than once in a drive.

Here is a clue: The Skins OL cannot do that reliably. They could not do that reliably last year either. Two seasons ago, they could not do that reliably. There is a trend there if you look carefully.

Can the coaching for the Redskins be improved? You bet it can. But don't delude yourself into believing that the Skins' OL is actually a bunch of All-Pro Players who are shackeled into mediocrity by stupid coaches. The Skins' OL is actually mediocre and nothing better. AND the logical conclusion from that situation is that the guys on the bench are something less than mediocre.

Look at the Skins OL now position by position and do an honest evaluation:

Which Redskins' starting offensive lineman is better at his position then the three guys who start for the other teams in the NFC East?

Here's a hint:

None of them...

Our front office has made some brilliant moves over the last 10 years and the Giants, Iggles, and Cowboys appreciate every one of them. Portis looks old and slow so he's probably set for another 6 years as the Skins' primary running back.

I know that Samuels said it scared him. He said he had to talk to doctors before " he decided what to do". I don't like the sound of that.

Yeah, I just heard that. Sounds like he is talking retiring. If that is true, If I was Jim I would quit now.

I don't think anyone could blame him if he is considering hanging it up. He's had a heck of a career. Nothing left to prove.

Everyone keeps talking about a RT that we've needed.. yeah, but to get trained up to take over the LT spot eventually. Samuels isn't what he used to be and I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see a healthy season from him again. We have to think of BOTH tackles ASAP.
