Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Until we have both an Offensive line and Defensive line we will suck....

I've said it from Day 1, and I'll say it until I see otherwise - great teams are built from the inside out. When interior line play is addressed first, you can win with mediocre perimeter players, and you can be great with a few above average perimeter players. Drafting a bunch of receivers will be a waste until we get better play up front. On the defensive side, we've been Riggo drilled by the Cowboys, and now the Ravens when we needed our D to force a 4th quarter change of posession. We just are not very stout on either line, and will continue to be pushed around by the big boys of the NFL until Snyderato start to appreciate the importance of interior line play.
