Look at Mark Rypien's performance when the Hog's were in their prime and.......not. That may be the kind of protection required for JC to have success.

I agree. I would also add that better O-line play could have saved a few games for Washington (St. Louis, Cincy, SF, Dallas). Dominant O-line play garnered wins at Dallas and Philly early on. Conversely, it lost games in which Campbell was running for his life and wasn't able to find the open man. Some of that is Campbells fault but again, with solid O-line play, he did beat Dallas and Philly on the road. It's been said a thousand times on this site, the game is won and lost in the trenches! Look at our Super Bowl teams of the past. They all had dominant offensive and defensive lines. That's part of the reason Gibbs won 3 Superbowls with 3 different QBs.

HAIL!!
