For next season the Redskins need to keep Trent Williams and bring up Selvish Capers/Erik Cook from the practice squad and release every other player on their O-Line. Then use their 1st and 2nd round picks on O-Lineman to get two more talented players. After the draft sign a bunch of young free agents and see if they can find any players to build some YOUNG depth. Till we get a solid O-Line our offense will continue to stink. We have to be able to run the ball to set up playaction and the longball.

I like that line of thinking but what makes you so sure Capers and Cook are the answer? Maybe they are stuck on the practice squad because they aren't good enough. I think they would've stayed on the main roster this season if they had proved they were deserving of a spot. The fact that they haven't been signed off our practice squad probably indicates that other teams don't see that much in them either.

Capers and Cook are unknowns at this point. I agree we need to upgrade the o-line (I'm fine with our tackles, I just think the interior needs upgrading) but there is absolutely no evidence that Capers and Cook are the answer. I think if they are the answer, they would've stood out in practice by now, and proven that they deserved to be starting. But that's obviously not the case now is it?

I agree with the idea of drafting more o-lineman, but lets not overlook the fact that the line has been playing much better of late, especially considering the defense lines the Skins have been up against. Yesterday's 7 points was a combination of careless turnovers and dropped passes. The line was giving McNabb time, especially considering it was against the Giants.
