Should the Skins' FO pick up the phone...

Or it could mean that two individuals who do not know each other or read what each other have to say are both waaay off base. You make the call.

If thats the case then yeah you dont need a link. I thought you got the idea from the article. He posted his article on May 15th and you made the thread two days later. Thats really crazy you two had the same idea in that close of a time frame. Thats either really cool or really scary depending on how you view Michael Lombardi.

I think, on paper, the O-line is looking better this year. Samuels is generally very durable, and I think he has a couple of high level seasons left. Dockery is an upgrade over Kendall in age and talent. Rabach.... sigh... I wish I knew why the Redskins think he's so good. Maybe Edwin Williams will make us all proud and beat him out. Doubtful. Randy Thomas will if nothing else be healthier than last season. He won't be playing each down with the thought of possible paralysis in back of his mind. And RT can't get any worse than last year. Jansen IMO has no shot at winning that job. He's going to be a backup guard/center. Let Heyer and Bridges compete. Either one will be better than Jansen. Maybe we get lucky and Mike Williams decides to play like a 1st round talent.

Regardless, we're much better depth-wise along the line (supposedly Rinehart and Clark are much improved), LG is improved, and we're entering the year healthy. I'm not thrilled with our line, but I don't see any reason to ship players or picks to Jax.
