Projected Lineup... Your thoughts?

True, but having two rookies on the right side of the line to start the season seems awfully ambitious. Don't get me wrong -- if they outshine the incumbents, so be it. But it's not like either were considered 1st round OL studs and it may not be realistic to pencil them in as starters. I realize the strong desire to move on from the Chester-Polumbus matadors; I share it. But I think it will take some time -- perhaps a good part of the season to work toward that goal.

Thank You!

Why is everyone crying to get the rookies in ASAP? The line wasn't that bad last year and putting rookies on the same side of the line is very risky. People are forgetting about this "adjustment period" it takes for rookies to adapt to the NFL.

what frikkin team were u watching last year? the only thing that worked was the zone blocking in the running game. Our pass protection was horrendous. If we pass protect again this year like we did last, I am frightened for RG3's career aspirations. Chester, Monty and Polumbus really sucked a golfball through a garden hose last year.

Their pass protection was absolute liquid shit.

If the rookies can't beat out Chester and Polumbus then we in trouble.
