Redskins Offensive Line: 2012 Unsung Heroes

I would like to see the kind of competition at S that we have seen at RB and WR over the Shanallen years. Every off season, we bring in old & young RB's and WR's, and they duel it out in a best man win style.

We should be doing that with Safeties as well, but instead it feels like they get a guy, who is the guy, only he's not the guy they thought he was, so now we have no guy, and our defense ranks nowhere near our offense, where we have a guy who proved he was the guy by beating out the other guys who weren't that guy.

make sense guys?

Makes perfect sense.

I know what you mean!

Right now, I am okay with our CB's. If we lose Hall, then we need to have someone who can step into a starting role on the corner - that simply has to be the No. 1 offseason priority. I am not sure that such a person exist on the roster.

I am fine with Wilson and C. Griffin as CB2 and CB3. To me, Wilson is solid and an acceptable starting corner but only with strong safety support - which we don't have w/out Merriweather. (Not thinking Jackson is coming back - just my guess. I think he let MS down and that MS does NOT like to be let down).

After a new CB and possibly safety, then do we worry about the RT spot. Polumbus is, at best, a back up, but RT is one of those positions that you can cover for both by blocking scheme and through offensive design. As many have consistently said, a single weak link in the O-Line can be protected much easier than several gaping holes at in the back end of the defense.

It would be great if Bernstien comes back and plays well enough to start, just not sure that is likely to happen or something MS should rely on. Crawford looks to be a nice add but not starting material and at best a nickel corner, more likely the dime guy. Maybe in time these two can step up - but I think they may just be K. Barnes, Byron Westbrook redux.

need a TE too. paulsen isn't good enough. we don't NEED fred davis, but we need someone in between the two at least.

We DO need Fred Davis. And Paulsen is starting because the coaches feel he's earn it. He's not your typical TE, but he does a pretty good job. I don't see the Redskins drafting a TE. At least not until the later rounds. Niles Paul could develop into a solid TE.

I think he meant we don't need another Fred Davis

Pauleson been fine this year, in fact exceed expectations. Bring back Fred and continue to develop Niles (great special teamer), we will be fine.

davis is a rock solid #1
paulsen is a good backup
and paul, well, he's a great special teamer

te is not a need. lock up davis

Pretty sure Griff likes Davis, thats a big factor now.

Paulsen has earned his keeps and then some. Good back-up, mostly reliable.
