My only is, the media tends to strike a tone that the Redskins have all FA starting on both sides of the ball.
The focus tends to be on that particular organizational failure, which is a legitimate one, but you rarely hear about the homegrown talent we do have.

On defense, the entire starting defensive line are not original Redskin draftees. Golston and Montgomery are back-ups. In fact, this organization hasn't drafted a defensive lineman that plays with any regularity since ... can anyone guess?
Linebackers -- Washington (drafted by the Colts) Holdman (not the Redskins)
Only Rogers and Sean Taylor have spent their entire careers only in D.C.
Offense is a little better with the line (minus Rabach and Thomas), Betts, Cooley and Campbell.
And Matty, you're right -- we're stuck with this system until someone else takes over, or they're done giving up picks for RFAs.
Let's all hope that Gibbs & Co. are going to prove us wrong about acquiring players.
Who here thinks that will actually happen?
