Are the Skins too focused on defense?

I find your point of view to be fair, reasonable and heartfelt. It's just common sense that we should improve on offense.

But that's not what worries me about the offense. I'm concerned about the cumulative injuries to our veteran starters on the OL. For example, I just can't get comfortable with Randy Thomas as a starter at this point in his career because of his neck and the other serious injuries he has suffered. Truthfully, I doubt that he'll even last through the first eight games. Chris Samuels is going to miss some time or be slowed by injury again this year. Why? Because it always happens to him. If Rabach should miss time with an injury we have nobody to back him up. These things worry me because, frankly, I'm unimpressed with our OL depth.

I think we need to trade for starting RG now. Also, we must have a veteran C or C/G to backup Rabach. If need be, we can look to add that player as other teams make roster moves. Beyond that, we need to leave no stone unturned in looking to improve our OL depth.
