Redskins Offensive Line: 2012 Unsung Heroes

[JoeRedskin]

To all - Please accept my apologies. I should have left the personal flame at Goat out of the general thread.

[MTK]

Just watching the game highlights on NFL.com I counted 5 passes where RG3 wasn't hit, and on 3 of his 4 TDs he wasn't touched.

RGIII took some vicious hits on a couple critical drop backs - but so does every QB not named Manning, Brady or Brees. At the same time, as Matty points out, on most of the critical throws he was kept clean.

Sometimes it is like folks just see what they want- facts be damned.

[JoeRedskin]

At this point, I am not sure what your point is BHA. I am not saying that sarcastically, I am really unclear as to what you are asserting and why.

Is anyone, at this point, arguing that our line is faultless? or that it can't stand improvement? I think everyone pretty much agrees that, after our DB's, O-line is the next priority.

Gird your loins BHA! You are teetering dangerously close to the dark side. It's a short trip to..........Goatville.

hilarious



I think everyone can agree we need better play from the Right Tackle position and probably will have a new starter there next year which will help. Kory L has been up and down all year, and we have young talent there who could push for playing time at that spot as well. Things are looking up along the Oline.

But certainly the Oline has fared much better than anticipated lead by the pro bowl-like play of Trent and Monty.

Screw you guys, my town is real America

I agree the line is better than expected at run blocking. About what I expected for pass blocking, which is not so good.

as for no one available - vollmer from NE is good and will be a FA that might not get re-signed due to other contracts there.

he's not a LT, he's not going to get LT money, so he should at least get a look. we don't need to go crazy due to other concerns (coverage units), but it might work out well.

the only other need on O is a TE (which is more important than RT for us and cheaper to man). everything else is straight D.

I could see us roll with the TE corp we have. Paul finally flashed something and we've got Lunch Pail Logan to start with Cooley sparing his some reps. Davis will work his way back next season, and I don't think we have to worry about competing for his services much.

As much crap that D.Hall gets from the media and fans, he is statistically having a pro-bowl caliber year. Just saying

I hope Brown's health in his hip improves. But he needs to be released. He's shown during the course of his Redskins tenure that he can't stay healthy and this is the 3rd straight year that he has ended up on IR. Not his fault and injuries occur in the NFL. But it's as if the Redskins gave the NO Saints that 3rd round pick for free. No matter what, you never trade for an injured player.

[Bucket]

He's hurt Smoot. So he's worthless! CURSE HIM, HE SUCKS!! ARGH!

I liked JB when he could play. Seemed like a good character dude too. Really liked in the locker room

[warriorzpath]

Let me say it again - right tackle needs to be the redskins priority in the offseason.
