If that isn't true, then the Redskins should be putting up no less than 35 points a ball game with the talent they have at skilled positions on offense. But they're not consistently successful on offense because the protection is shotty.
So, yeah, I think they're drafting the wrong linemen - especially if those draftees can't get off the practice squad without some catastrophe that forces them into the lineup. Outside of Williams, none of those guys have proven to be solid in both run blocking AND pass protection. It's always either/or, or neither. Which means the offense will continue to struggle - which means the defense will have to play more short fields, which leads to more points allowed and fewer scored. That's a recipe for losing.
So yeah, 3 great offensive linemen in 15 years. I'd say the offensive line has most definitely been ignored.

Well they brought in a new left guard, they drafted two guys, Chester is another FA, to me I think they're trying. It's just that the people they're bringing in aren't any good. Long doesn't even dress so that should tell you something right there.
