Redskins Insider - Shanahan on Heyer: Untapped ability but hard work is needed

Swinging screen door/matador OL need more than simply improvement. They need a pink slip.

The first comment below the article sums up the situation. We have no other option at this point. Heyer is garbage and needs to be dumped. When Shanny takes out the garbage I hope he includes that waste of a draft pick Rienhart as well.

I don't get why Rinehart is considered a waste. he could wind up being one, but as of right now, he's only played two years. Rinehart was picked at the bottom of the third round. i dont think many guards picked in that spot are expected to be bonafide starters in their first two years. it takes some players time to develop. Shanahan was supposedly impressed after watching some of his film. If Rinehart can become a decent backup by the end of this year, then i'll consider the pick a success. if he can't even be a good backup by the end of NEXT year, then i'll consider him a bust.

I definitely understand the argument that the line was so horrid last year that everyone needs replacing. That said, we should hang onto Rinehart and Heyer until we have both starters and reserves who are better than them in place. That is, they can still serve depth purposes, even if we may not want them to start.

However, I think Rinehart will really pick it up this year and actually become a starter.

Hicks was a backup before so it is not like he is a world-beater. A similar argument can be made for Williams. So, yeah, Rino has a chance.
