Simple as that, a new QB isn't going to solve anything until we can protect and open holes for the running game. |

Re: The line is quite offensive right now
Nothing profound or enlightening here from me.
If you don't score points you can't win. If you don't have an offensive line you can't run the ball. If you don't have an offensive line the QB doesn't have time to throw the ball. Last Monday it was pretty bad when the topic of discussion on ESPN Mike and Mike was how bad the Skin's are. Missed this mornings program but I'm sure it was somewhat dwelled on.

How about fixing the root cause? Get some people who can f*cking block and the offense has potential. There's no hope right now, though, because none of the QBs you listed are walking through the door. |

Re: The line is quite offensive right now
What I meant when I said, "in one season" was "one offseason" No I think our problems are too numerous to fix by next year. I do agree that getting an O-lineman will be more beneficial for the 2010 season due to the learning curve, but I think we need to build for the future. I want a team that will win every year. A qb is the better route to go than one offensive lineman if we want to go in that direction.

A bad OL will pretty much guarantee more of the same despite who is under center. If you want to build for the long run, build up the OL. |

I think the line can be dramatically improved in one offseason. We have some parts already. Dock is fine. I think Mike Williams could be an effective guard with his size and pass protection ability and Levi Jones may still have something left in the tank (we will know by the end of the season). One or two effective free agents and two good draft picks and we can be right where we need to be. |

Re: The line is quite offensive right now
Pocket$ Straight:
If Williams and Jones are so competent, how come 32 NFL teams allowed them to languish in a state of idleness for several years? Are you telling me that no team in the league faced serious problems with the competency of its OL in the last three years? Or maybe the Skins' FO was the only organization smart enough to track down these lost souls? These guys were unmitigated busts as high draft pick. Now MAYBE they have reformed some of their habits such that they MIGHT become serviceable NFL players. But to see these guys turning into foundation pieces for an NFL team probably requires a visit from the Skins' Fairy Godmother.

A good example of rebuilding an o line in 1 year is our rival pokes; a few years ago they overpaid Leonard Davis, a career underachiever at OT, and moved him to guard. They picked up Mark Colombo & he resurrected his career as their RT after he was pretty much a bust 2nd rounder in chicago. They already had a good LT (penalties aside) & C (shotgun snapping aside). Their LG spot has been a problem w/Kosier et al, but they have been pretty solid as a unit, great run blockers at least. Sure they've had troulbe in pass pro v. the better pass rushers, but they transformed that unit quickly & have had some explosive offensive years since. |

Big Ben won the Super Bowl with one of the worst lines in football. Ben was a 1st Round draft pick!!!
