Until we have both an Offensive line and Defensive line we will suck....

no 4th or 7th either, kendall and james

So we're screwed for another two to three years. I like Moss, Cooley and even the new WR's. But without the O line they can't do shit with Campbell in such a hurry. I love CP but the dude's going to be hurt the second half of every season we have him unless he has the O line with holes he can run through.

I love the way CP plays, but Zorn has got to do a better job spelling him throughout the season. The horse is out of the barn, so to speak, for this season, but going forward I think there needs to be more series or plays given to Betts from the word go. CP's heart and attitude are to be admired, but as you said, he's going to be hurt the 2nd half of every season the way things are now.

We've tried to BUY a DL with expensive guys like Griff, Carter and Jason Taylor; and hope a an occasional fifth round draft pick will hit the jackpot. The problem with using FA in one area is that it makes your depth very thin AND you end up with older players who get hurt easier.

You also have the problem of expensive FAs who come here for the paycheck! They hit paydirt and throttle back to last longer. Remember guys like Dana Stubblefield, Bruce Smith, etc? Feel like Springs is easing up this season?

You've got to draft with some of your highest picks; pick up some modest FA talent [perhaps like E. James] and get the occasional big dollar FA. We've build our DL house with no foundation.

Yahhoooo! so your telling me all we have to do is replace samuels, kendall, rabach, thomas, jansen, griffin, taylor, carter and we are good to go in 2 years?


glad someone here has it figured out. hey guys just replace 5 guys on O and 4 guys on D!!! (oh by the way, do it 2 years or you gotta replace the qbs, wrs, rbs, cbs, lbs, safeties as well)

fu&&in awesome!!

damn its awesome to be a skins fan. atleast when we finally win one we, us true fans, will know the sweet taste of success. hard times only make us hungrier.

For some reason this organization cant figure out that championship teams are built on their lines. Drafting WRs is much more exciting but they are not the foundation for building a winner.

Man, you ain't kidding. When I think of all the WRs we drafted in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 it just pisses me off

Is it just me, or did it seem like Campbell had more time to throw when Samuels and Jansen were on the side line?

well samuels is playing with a bum leg, but jansen is a liability.....the offense line only allowed 2 sacks....they didnt totally stink it up last night...give the ravens a little credit for good play.

I think that may have been because at that point the Ravens were pulling back on all the blitzing and were in more of a prevent mode.

[SouperMeister]

I've said it from Day 1, and I'll say it until I see otherwise - great teams are built from the inside out. When interior line play is addressed first, you can win with mediocre perimeter players, and you can be great with a few above average perimeter players. Drafting a bunch of receivers will be a waste until we get better play up front. On the defensive side, we've been Riggo drilled by the Cowboys, and now the Ravens when we needed our D to force a 4th quarter change of posession. We just are not very stout on either line, and will continue to be pushed around by the big boys of the NFL until Snyderato start to appreciate the importance of interior line play.

Run, stop the run and pressure the qb. Nuff said

I couldn't agree more. Sign the petition. Yes, really.

What is up with Chad Rinehart, is he any good? Hopefully he will turn out ok, if that is the case then that will be 2 possible starters for the OL in 2 years-along with Heyer, who just fell in the skins laps....Just trying to stay positive....

The DL on the other hand I cant recall the last time they drafted or picked up a decent undrafted rookie.....
