There is no doubt in my mind that we need an upgrade at RT this season. I think we might need to go for a rental right now and then explore ways to fix the problem on a long-term basis. I would definitely like to see the Skins go after Tyson Clabo or Eric Winston on a short-term deal.

I don't think Gruden's going to be throwing it 40 times a game unless we're behind. We're not that type of offense right now. Our strength running the ball. I do agree that the line should be a priority and I think we get a starting caliber RT in the draft.

Unlike his brother, this Gruden likes to throw

With the Jordan signing, same thing at ILB. Been addressed with the signing of Jordan and Sharption, re-signing of Riley and Robinson on the roster. Can't see a pick of Borland or Skov.



Based on our approach to free agency (which I am about 65-35 in favor of at this point) I'm thinking we either trade into the 1st round for one of the safeties, draft a WR at 34 or trade back to try to get additional picks. I don't think a RT will be a value at 34, we should be able to get someone in the 3rd at that position.

I agree with you for the most part, but with Griffs injury history the value of any o-lineman we pick is a little higher than it would be for alot of other teams. We HAVE to protect him

True. But we also HAVE to give him weapons, especially with Reed's dicey health.

If I had to guess right now this could change 3 TE's & 2 QB's on final 53.

We should have went after Quintin Demps. Giants got him that sucks.
I just saw a report Incognito still hopeful to play next year. I still say sign that guy.

Yes, an emotionally disturbed, unsocialized player who has no self-control or common sense is exactly what our locker room needs.

Exactly. We just came out of a shitstorm named Shanahan, why would anyone want to toss this turd grenade into the locker room?

Thats a little harsh lol he bullied a wimpy teammate. Hes a fb player. U need a skitzo in the lockerroom imo. I had a couple on my team and we were national champs. If we got him dirt cheap hed b a good pickup. Dont misinterperate this though im not lobbying. At the end of the day its not up to us anyway lol if we signed him id look at it differently i guess

We saw what Griff did a couple years ago with limited weaponry. I think keeping him upright is higher on the priority list than surrounding him with weapons. Reed i think we shutdown because the season was obviously over. Not that the concussion wasnt serious, but it was a high risk, low reward situation to play him at that point. Im not ready to call his health "dicey" yet.
Ideally we address the oline and a wr. Im not as concerned about safety so much. We have Thomas, Rambo, and Gumbs and with the addition of Hatcher im interested to see how they play with a pass rush. BW is back and who knows maybe he can stay healthy.

Not to mention he isnt even that good anymore

Cant expect to draft 3-4 starters right away. And the talk of going WR first in a deep WR draft is flat out retarded with the holes at both Safety spots, ILB, and especially Oline.



Im really confused about our Oline approach. Folks our number #1 asset is RG3, if we dont protect him, we set the franchise back another 5 years minimum. Its like we forgot he had major knee surgery. Polumbus, Chester and Monty cannot pass block. Kory L wasnt great either last year. We better get that straight before the season.

Well said. Couldnt agree more with Griff being the number one priority. We could have 4 probowl wr's and who gives a shit if Griff is hurt again.
Edit: we gave up alot in the draft to get him but God forbid we spend a second round pick to protect him. Makes no sense. I dont care what wr is available - take the best rg, c, rt available.

Completely agree. Especially when you see what other teams (NE) can do with mediocre WR talent. I'm not saying Jay is Belichick but I'm not ruling out the possibility for him to have similar success with less expensive (draft or FA) players in the WR position. With our 2nd round pick we definitely can find a long term starter to bookend the line with Trent for the majority of RGIII's career.
