Redskins Offensive Line: 2012 Unsung Heroes

[Schneed10]

Kyle and Mike have done a terrific job putting together an offensive scheme that can take advantage of the team's talents. This line is not big, but they can move, so we have stretch zone plays that outflank the defense, and a decisive back who is very hard to bring down once he makes the one-cut.

Our WRs are sturdy and willing to block, they're sharp route-runners. And needless to say, RG3 is all that and a bag o' Doritos.

What's amazing is that going into this offseason (which we don't even need to think about yet), do we really need any offensive pieces? Anybody we pick up would seem to be luxury/depth. We can focus almost all of our resources on defense.

Future's so bright.

This is a great point. A main reason our OL is playing at the level that they are is because they are good fits for the offense we run and we run plays to their strengths. This is not the Hogs 2.0. These guys aren't going to blow defensive lines 3 yards off of the ball because that's not what they're expected to do. This isn't a power running line but for what the scheme calls for, they are balling out.

It will be interesting to see next year if LeReibus can push Liectenstiger for the LG spot and who we bring in to replace Brown & Polumbus. After many years of neglect, our line is no longer a cause of major concern. Shanahan deserves credit for addressing and improving that.

We need players that make people miss in open space. So if Brandon Banks were a concept instead of a bad football player, we would need that.

Garcon is really good after the catch, but we need more players that fit that mold to make this offense work long term.

The good news is that we don't need to target any one position.

I'm interested to see what Compton brings. Team seems to like him a lot. A few teams tried to sign him to their active roster this year, but Compton stayed here. We rewarded him with a nice bump in salary.

And of course...Jammal Brown!!!!!!

Hey.....yo, when he and Patrick Ramsey gel, we're gonna have something.

Monty is our best lineman when it comes to consistency.. He does a lot of combo blocks and calling out alignment. I voted for him to make the pro bowl

I remember Compton being one of 2 or 3 guys I was a little surprised at not making the team. I was happy to see him put on the PS but had somewhat forgotten about him. He just may our guy at RT next year. Sure sounds like they don't want to lose him. It would be nice to be able use our first couple of picks on some quality secondary help. The way you explained the draft it wouldn't be hard for someone to grade higher than Polombus.
