Half Assed Rebuilding Mode

We have to counteract what the Giants have built on both sides of their line, right now on paper they are the team to beat in my opinion.

those expectations are very realistic. what would it take to move back into the first round and pick up either mack, unger, or robinson?

i think you guys have some quality depth at QB. Brennan could be great IMO and campbell is a fine starter. Moss and randle el(you guys still have him?) are good WRs to compliment the great running game.

i completely agree that the biggest issue would be competing with the giants rush and offensive line. Haynesworth should help a little on defense but he only plays 2 plays every series because hes out of shape all the time.

the next step is to address offensive line to deal with rushers like demarcus ware, joey porter, mathias kiwanuka, justin tuck, and osi. IMO a top rated tackle would be more beneficial because of the talented DE/OLBs in the East.

the DTs the redskins face arent nearly as talented as the DEs you face 6 games every year

#1 the Cult of Colt thrives even in New Orleans, apparently
#2 Joey Porter is not in our division

You know, at some point we're going to have to drop the "Cult of Colt" line. I mean, they drafted this guy for a reason, right? Is Colt a guy who the team brought in to be some sort of permanent tease?

I'm not suggesting he has to start this year, but I think some people go overboard with the thought that should Colt Brennan never, EVER see the field. If there is something in game films that make so many people absolutely certain that he should not even be in consideration to throw a pass in the NFL, then why is he on the team?

You make a good point. As for me, I am not against his playing. I'm not against Colt - I thought he was a good speculative draft pick. I am only against his getting anointed as a savior when he hasn't done anything.

When he actually contributes something I will drop the Cult of Colt line. Then we can discuss him in a rational way which doesn't always happen now.

For the record, that wasn't directed solely at you, I've heard the Cult of Colt line for awhile from lots of people.

Here's a somewhat off topic thought -- what if we aren't able to land Sanchez and Jason Campbell wants to get the hell out? What then?

I think Colt has talent and is a guy Zorn thought he could develop. He should get more snaps this preseason and it will be interesting to see how he does now that he's healthy and has been here a year.

Sorry. Some of us are sensitive about Brennan. Some Skins fans demanded he start right after he was drafted and continue to demand that he start now. These people make such irrational arguments at times that they have been dubbed the Cult of Colt.
