We've got big trouble on the OL.

Kory Lich was just a minor clean-up procedure. Don't overreact.

Yes, he had a big injury, but this was not a major surgery. He should be ready Week 1.

With that said, we should definitely have a backup plan.

We've always had O-line issues, which is why these immobile QBs we've had got destroyed. RGIII's running ability should help hide some of the weaknesses on the line in front of him. Sure, a solid line would be ideal for a rookie QB, but with the state of our line, we have the best-possible QB to pair with that weak line.

I think we'll need Leribeus to step up. Compton has some promise too. We did not completely ignore the O-line in the offseason. I'd still like to see us make a deal for a solid RT though. What's the status with that Raiders trade rumor?

Your smoking crack if you think Kory L will be ready week 1.

I heard he could be back in time for the Colts game, but they're going to hold him out anyway.

Now this is more like it! Makes me feel we are in mid-season form already! Instead of arguing over politics and religion, we can now focus our attention toward the falling sky that is our offensive line!

I don't think that the sky is falling. It can't fall because it already fell last season and it hasn't been put back up.

Jammal Brown is done. Believe it! He was told that he had to stay healthy to make the team and, unfortunately, he hasn't been able to do that.

I doubt that we have an immediate answer to our RT problem on the roster and we have a very valuable Franchise QB to protect and develop. Some promising young NFL QB's have never reached their potential because they took too many hits early in their careers. That's why I think we'll try hard to make a trade for a starting RT.

Kory L. might be OK. Time will tell.

Why is anyone concerned about the O-line at this point. Lichtensteiger is always talked about as if he's a 3 time pro bowler. He's a journeyman that picked up the system, that's all. Hurt can step in and the left side is fine. Lichtensteiger didn't play the majority of last year and the left side was good until Wms was suspended. On the right side play, they are good with the people that played last year, Polumbus and the kid from East Carolina. No problem unless Montgomery or Wms gets hurt, the rest are kind of interchangeable. With Lerebus there now, Montgomery may be more expendable.

Oh nice...drug accusations from Chico Little. I don't think the sky is falling. I was the first one to point out it was just a routine cleaning procedure, not full-scale surgery. Try reading for once.

I just had a thought.

Lorenzo Alexander.

He'd have to gain another 50-55lbs in four weeks. Unless they plan on feeding him sticks of butter drenched in crisco, I don't think it'll happen.

You have drugs on your mind way too much.

Anyway, Alexander HAS played O-line, so in an extreme emergency...why not? He's our 4th QB and 3rd punter too.

Problem is he lost about 25 lbs this offseason to play LB. He's now at 244.

Given the many OT's drafted early this year, perhaps there will be a veteran who is surprisingly cut over the next few weeks. I'm not talking about an All-Pro but someone good enough to stabilize RT for a few weeks or even for just one season. John Runyan from a few years ago comes to mind as an example of such a cut.

LaRon Landry's essentially out of football now. We're hire him as a PT.

Bulk up fast!

No... just no. He weighs 244 now. He wouldn't have been a starter at 300.
