I don't agree that we just need backups on the OL. I think we could improve the team greatly with better starters at C and G. Then the current starters would provide us with very good, versatile backup linemen.

It would be nice to have more help at CB.

Absolutely right!

The Skins have one OL who is "above average" at his position in the NFL and that is Trent Williams. Maybe some day one of the other four will achieve that status - - and that includes the injured Kory Lichtensteiger who will probably return next year. But if this is the OL that starts next year, you can forget a playoff run no matter who is the new "QB-darling".

Speaking of which, neither of the two guys currently on the game-day roster for this team should be back. They need to draft a QB AND they need to get another vet off the waiver wire/scrap heap to play until the new QB is ready. We know what these two guys can do and it is insufficient - - to be very polite.

Personally, I think they need more help at safety than they do at CB; but I do agree that upgrades to the d-backfield are necessary.
