CSN: "The 53: OL starters look set, battles for reserve spots"

[The Goat]

No surprise if we have a same starters across the oline as last season, which doesn't bother me so long as Brown is healthy and much improved from what he's done with us so far. If Brown is still a liability there needs to be some real scrutiny of our FO/coaching staff wrt off-season personnel decisions.

I thought Hurt was learning and improving so it's a little surprising to hear he's not likely to return, but like others said it's still early.

And who the hell is Tom Compton...seriously I don't remember him and watched every game last year.

Tom Compton is,IMO, the best potential pick after RG3 in the draft we just had this year. He is a very athletic tackle from South Dakota. We definitely could see him starting for us at RT down the line later in the season when, more than likely, jamaal brown gets hurt.

Ahhh. Small school prospect w/ some potential. I like those types hopefully Compton is a keeper.

I hate that the starters are being declared before training camp, but I guess that's normal.

I think it's foolish to think our starting OL won't be at least as injury prone, a year older. We need Ribs, Compton, or others to step up and win starting positions, if we're going to protect RGIII adequately.
