Re: 2010 Free Agents
Found this about what the Redskins needs are this offseason...pretty good short summary of the team and I really agree about what they say about the offense
Washington Redskins: OT, QB, SLB, RB, OG, C
Considering the direction the team was headed a few years ago, moving in an offensive direction with a 1st round quarterback and expensive free agent acquisitions, the defense is the unit ready to compete on a weekly basis. The Skins have done a nice job acquiring defensive talent – through free agency and the draft – and have put together above average unit that plays the run and pass fairly well. They have some concerns at safety and at strongside linebacker, but those are the only real areas of weakness. Brian Orakpo did a nice job playing the latter before moving to defensive end later in the year, his natural position. On offense, the Redskins must first improve the offensive line before they can even begin to address the quarterback situation. Campbell is an average quarterback, but not a terrific leader and not capable of making plays behind such a porous offensive line. Both tackle positions needs to be addressed. Chris Samuels will decide his future in February after suffering a serious neck injury that forced him to the Injured Reserve. Even with Samuels, they need a future to look forward to at left tackle. At right tackle, Stephon Heyer ranks near the bottom of the league as a starter. At right guard, Mike Williams has played better than expected, but is not a great pass blocker. Center Casey Rabach is also having a bad year. To make matters worse, the many miles on Clinton Portis may finally be catching up to him as he approaches the frightening age of 30, leaving running back as another position of necessity. He’s scheduled to make an average of over $8 million per year over the next four, which would mean he’s going to need to produce, restructure, or face the axe in the upcoming years.
