The State of Redskins Nation

[firstdown]

I think people are reading too much into our dept due to the first preseason game. Yes the 2nd O line looked bad as a unit but they will not be on the field as a unti but one or two here and there to play with the first unit. With the second unit if you have two of the five missing their blocking assignments then the whole unit will look bad. Yes Cinny did look better but like as most other teams they have had at least an extra week of training camp over the skins. We have a great coaching staff and they will have them ready to play come the 11th. Just remember they are trying out alot of new guy most of which won't make the team but we have enough to choose from to find the quality back ups.

I think this is why we have guys that play several positions- so we can put in the best guy, not that back up for that position.

Gibbs teams are notorious for bad pre-seasons then having good seasons.
