And you honestly want to get rid of our best O-lineman that we have with the existing concerns that we already have with the O-line. And not having a legit LT to step up behind him. Really?

I thought some of the numbers might be off, should've checked the Cap Sheet date. Point is, if this season doesn't take a quick upswing...it's time for major changes.

TW is greatly overrated.

A Lions fan came on here and said the same thing, basically that on paper they should probably win but won't.

I just hope the team comes out and shows some heart.

If Bush and Fairely are 100% and our OC pulls his head out of his ass:

Lions 38
Redskins 20

If either of them, and especially Bush, is either gimpy or doesn't play and the coaching staff learned nothing from their awful play calling in Arizona:

Redskins 24
Lions 14

I fear the former. And here's this little intangible to make you guys feel better: Detroit has never won a single away game against Washington. As in NEVER EVER. So I don't feel so good about this one.

The Redskins will be fine, btw, once Griffin gets the rust out I think.

Williams is the best olineman on the roster tho. Can't trade him.

LOL.

All this TW hate is amusing.

There's nothing wrong with Honolulu. He's been very fair in his assessment of the upcoming game. It's not often fans of other teams wander in and either 1) aren't total homers or 2) aren't trolls.

I value his opinion.

0-2 sure F's with people's minds.

Can't believe Trent is being tossed under the bus.

Unreal.

[DynamiteRave]

I can't figure out where someone said it, but they think the brace is slowing down RG3 and wanted to see him without it (or something to that effect)...

There's so much panic despite the obvious answer: cut RGIII and bring back Pat White.

Did Patty clear waivers?

Did you read a different article than what you posted? It has Trent Listed as 3rd or 4th best overall in 2012, depending on the metric I guess. And Jason Peters didn't play in 2012.

So, I absolutely, without a doubt stand by what I said. After Peters, a healthy Okung and maybe Saints LT I'd put Williams right in there.

[The Goat]

Unless I've missed others, just one person has thrown Trent under the bus in a rant today. Don't think anyone else disputes he's our franchise LT. Anywho

[MTK]

Trouble with Okung is he can't stay healthy and he's hurt again right now.

I'd take Trent over him regardless.

[donofriose]

Did anyone notice Clay Matthews on Sunday?

I didn't because Trent Williams took him out of the game. He is one of the best left tackles in the NFL.
