Im not so sure Gibbs wants to keep the talent we have on the d-line.Its possible that he wants to see who he can get from the free agent market or possibly a trade.As for hoping that the secondary and linebackers can pick up the slack that is true ,but I would rather not have to use them that way.That would make us predictable.

I think our D-Line is unproven rather than sub-par. Griffin and Noble can play. Every year I clammer for the Skins to replace Renaldo Wynn, but every year he's always there and there has to be a reason for it. You're not a career starter in the NFL for no reason, he's solid, he just never gets pressure. Then, we have Phillip Daniels who has had a 10 sack season, which I would happy to see from a Redskin, not named LaVar Arrington, this year. Overall I think the Skins a lot of players that can play the game just none that jump out as superstars. I think the D Line will be better than most of you think, if for no other reason than the rest of D is tremendous.

Im pretty sure ill be up there for that game, my best friend is a steelers fan so we're both going to fly up for that game. Apparently im supposed to get drunk on Iron City beer? I beleive. When November rolls around ill see which of you guys are going to the game.

As far as our dline, I dont think its going to get taken advantage of like it has in the past. I think our ability to stop the run should be great, we've got beef in the middle and solid ends. Even if we dont sack teh QB a lot I still see the pressure being there enough to throw off the QB, which very well could be better than a sack becaus a floated ball over the middle means touchdown Sean Taylor. Face it, Taylor is a halfback, with a linebackers body, receivers hands and a QBs awareness.

yea he said that the beer isnt anygood, but that its just somethign we both have to do if we are going to be at a steelers game. Yuengling and Rolling Rock are both PA beers, and both quite tasty. But if he says we gotta drink it, then thats enough peer pressure for me to get drunk and cheer for the Skins.
