The Skins One Concern

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Is there not someone in the world who has a huge leg, but doesn't necessarily kick perfect spirals?

[CooleyAsCanBe]

From this thread's title I thought Dan Snyder's plane had crashed...

I'd say my biggest concern is also O-line depth. It was so painful watching the line in our last playoffs game. I always liked Randy Thomas, but it is amazing how much worse our line was without him.

I agree with the guys who are concern with the O line and its depth. What I don't like about the line condition is that we have several guys coming off of surgeries....
Randy Thomas: broken fibula- he should be ready soon, but still not 100%
Casey Rabach: recovering from shoulder surgery and a deep gashed from ATV accident. He may not be ready by training camp. This could be spell out bad for us. I know we drafted two interior O-line men.
Jansen still has sore thumb.
Samuel had something done to his knee.

That's 4 out of 5 O line men coming off of last years injuries.... We need depth on O line

No question ... it's the O-line. That Guy is exactly right, so I'll repeat what he said:

We saw what happened when Randy Thomas was lost for the season thanks to Ladell Betts. If Samuels, Jansen, or Thomas go down, our season is most likely over.

Knowing this, will there be an offensive lineman worth taking at #53?

davin joseph (pretty polished right now) or charles spencer (huge upside, massive guy, but also very athletic) should be available, and both can be the pulling type of guard that dockery isn't. No tackles worth thinking about will be left at that point, and out of the top 4 OGs, only 2 are athletic pulling types, and after those 4 a drop off in talent begins.

Did you mean to say that Jansen still has two sore thumbs. Remember he broke both last year and was wearing two thumb cast at the same time. What a fluke that was.

i normally would hop on the o line bandwagon but...if brunell would go down,then what?collins is average at best and campbell is untested so life as a redskin fan would become very interesting.not that redskin fans want anything to do with a qback conterversey

I've said it over and over, the best thing Redskin fans could hope for is that Jason Campbell wins the job hands down in preseason, thoroughly beating Mark Brunell and gives the coaches absolutely no doubt that he's the best man for the job. If this happens, we're in a nearly perfect situation because I think Brunell would be an ideal backup.

One concern at a time:

The Skins One Concern: Being on the Clock at #53!

Next up: #153

and so on, and so on.

Until 8 May.

Then it's Court TV! Or in this case, i-net reports by the dozens from Miami-Dade.

beem,while i agree with your logic,there is no way coach gibbs starts campbell if he thinks the skins are as close as all of us do.its that simple

He'll start Campbell if Campbell hands down plays better than Brunell. That will have to involve Brunell making huge mistakes, just playing horribly, you know, in his 2004 form. All of this might be unlikely, but that's what will have to happen.

Remember, I'm hoping for Campbell to win the job ... it's not necessarily what I think WILL happen.

Yea but the 2004 season was pretty much over when he pulled Brunell.

DT depth - if CG or Big Joe go down we lose alot in the run stopping department - and that is where it all starts.
