Smoot Lays The Smack Down (Redskins vs Eagles)

[The Goat]

Jason Fabini should quit his day job... how we ended up w/ this guy as our backup AGAIN leaves me speechless. Rhinehart, oh Rhinehart, where art thou?

I spent more time watching the o-line this game than ever before, from the snap to downfield blocking, and I just can't come to the conclusion that an addition or two is going to solve our problems. I know Samuels will come back strong - we're set at LT. Pete at this point is our 2nd best lineman on the roster IMO (best active lineman currently), but do we want to count on him through another grueling season? Age, arthritis. Rabach has to go. I'm on the fence about Thomas. He struggles to block big, strong tackles (run or pass). Some think he's having a down year, like GTripp who I respect, but again do we want to count on him through another grueling season. Finally, we don't have anyone for RT. If we go into yet another season w/ Jansen-Heyer as the only options i'm gonna keep my eyes closed when we have the ball. Heyer is an effing horrible run-blocker. He goes way too high and can't turn on a merry-go-round.

So... we need to draft/recruit/develop somewhere between 2 and 4 starters on the o-line. I hope Bugel is up to the job but it may be time to get "younger" at that position too.
