Different Season, Same Trap

The line will be better but has any team ever had 3 rookie starters on the Line? Especially when they didn't have a 2nd or 3rd rounder? We may pick up some extra picks but if not we're talking a 1st and a 4th rounder at minimum starting? Doubt that.

Yeah, and if that is true then is that necessarily a good thing? Having a 4th and 5th round draft pick starting on your line.

The only reason Heyer is even spoken of in terms of our line is because our depth was so poor that we had to resort to using him, an undrafted rookie, during his first 3 years in the NFL. It's not like his skill appointed him to our starting lineup.

Rinehart was selected in the 3rd and isn't even being spoken of in terms of our projected lineup this year. Our starting OL will not be found in our depleted draft selections this year.


It will take more than a year to repair our OL, probably more to improve it.

Haven't really heard that about Rinehart.

I hear more fans talking about Heyer being involved this year than Rinehart. We have vacancies at G but Rinehart can't seem to step in them.

That's cool for fans to talk about it, also heard a lot mention JC for a 2nd or 3rd too though. Rinehart didn't look bad last year, I mean the kid wasn't a top rated guard coming out of college. He was one of our better guards, either Zorn or Bugel (maybe both) fucked up by not letting him play more. Mike Williams wasn't bad at guard either. I'm not too worried about our guard spots. Tackle is def a concern though.. Heyer looked a bit better at RT after coming off of his stretch at LT vs how he looked at RT earlier in the season.

Nobody that was here last year is fit for LT by far though.

I doubt the Redskins will have more than ONE rookie starting on opening day. Dockery is in place. Rabach is in place. Hicks and Big Mike are fighting for right guard. and Heyer is already ahead of last year because he is actually in the professional weight room with 30 other workout warriors instead of at home using some rubber bands on a door frame because he had to be since the previous Redskins management didn't know anything at all about REAL training or weight rooms.

I have all the confidence in the world in Heyer this season if Shanny deems him ready to start and believe me when I say this; Heyer knows by gawd that if he shows any weakness at all his career is history. Thats why on every Redskins video showing the workouts and weight room Heyer is RAT THERE and sweating up a storm.
