Changing subjects I see that Compton and DHall are getting into it. Good stuff Compton is going to surprise people this year IMO.
dude it was the mid ninties, of course I was. Natural Born is a visual masterpiece.

NBK sure has a killer soundtrack, I'll give it that.

The movie is a bit of a hot mess though. Hot mess in a good way.

I apologize for the Al Pacino reference which started this. Stone is overrated - but I do recall enjoying Natural Born Killers and would watch it again rite now.

So I read from practice reports that Gettis is improving.

I've read some good reports lately on Gettis, LeRibeus, and Compton. They all obviously have a long way to go, but it's nice to hear they are improving.

I saw a stat yesterday (I forget where though) that the Redskins have drafted the most OL in the NFL since 2010.. Combine that with the stat that we've drafted the most players in the past 2 drafts it seems like there is a plan to build depth..

In addition to the good reports on Gettis, LeRibeus and Compton I am also that I haven't seen where Hurt has regressed or peaked. It would be nice to have him as a solid backup that we could count on if needed.

LeRibeus has some real dirtbag potential.
(i mean that as a positive, dirtbag like a baby hog)

Re: We've got big trouble on the OL.

As we all know art is subjective, just take a look at the supposed "top 10 films of all time" list, most of which were released well before we were born. As for any given Sunday, I thought it was mediocre when I first watched it, that's because I was way to young to understand the behind the scene politics and intricacies of playing, coaching, and owning a team in the NFL.

Fast forward 15 years later, now that I've matured, and became more educated about the greatest league to ever form, I see the movie in a completely different light, it's remarkable how deep he went into the psychological aspects and struggles that everyone has to endure, the astronomical amount of pressure that's put on everyone involved. In my opinion it's arguably the greatest football movie ever made, although the longest yard and remember the Titans were great ones too.

Re: We've got big trouble on the OL.

Would anyone liked to have seen the Skins make the move the Chargers made to solidify depth for their OL?

I would say, "Who cares?" But since they are both former Tuskers, obviously the Chargers got two steals.

Haslett coached the Tuskers a year or two I believe. One would think either of these guys would be a better option than Black. Just throwing this out there for discussion that's all. I think it speaks volumes for the talent pool for quality OTs. Wondering if team explores all avenues.

Re: We've got big trouble on the OL.

Im all for signing and exploring depth, etc. However I would much rather go with young draftpicks than old veterans that spent the majority of their career in the UFL - Oh and who is the "Black" you are referring to?
