I can almost assure you that after we draft that one defensive lineman that the Redskins are going to start to work on getting a player or 2 in D.C. to help us score in the red-zone.

I have to disagree, it's not that we don't have scoring options... We have multiple scoring options.... regaurdless of what he did last year brandon lloyd was the #1 reciever for SF when he was there.

Gibbs has said multiple times the skins are to "run the football and stop the run". I could see Branch comming here because if they made the transition of putting Golston in the starting lineup Branch would be the ideal space eater to replace Griffin eventually and match up with Golston. but the pressure that okoye could bring to the qb would help the line as well... It starts up front we have to stop the run and bring pressure from the front four~ we haven't done that for a long time...

The offense will be alot better this year; however with that better play opposing teams will be that much more aggressive offensively to try to keep up with our Offense so that is why it is important make shore the defense is top notch

I am not opposed to getting Okoye, in fact, I would love to see him in burgandy and gold but it is all this other dreaming that I am reading about that is not going to happen because we do not have the wherewithal to pull those type of miracles off.

The F.O. has addressed the linebacker, corner and safety positions this offseason to where, if Springs is coming back, that they are probably not going to do anything else with those three positions. After drafting one lineman we will be, probably, be looking at our defense for next season. I just hope that we stay healthy this season, if so we are not going to have a bad defense.

I agree, that we are a run the football team, we were like #4 in the league last season on the ground but we were like 20th in scoring so we are going to have to do something about getting the ball in the end zone and I think that that will be worked on with a middle round pick, if we can get one higher than 5. If not we will probably use our 5th round pick for improvement because after last season I do not know how much confidence Gibbs and Saunders has in Lloyd .
