True enough. These guys are rabid homers and equally rabid Skins haters. They were none to pleased at the Josh Wilson signing but essentially justified it as, "Well, if the Skins signed him, he must've sucked and we didn't realize it."

Just highlighting the difference between the Dallas reaction over losing Bowen and the Baltimore reaction over losing Chester.

If you want to know what Matt Williamson thinks, just go look at the PFF grades. Seriously. They do the thinking for him.

We're talking Baltimoreans here. Take their comments with a pound of salt because they hate on anyone or anything associated with D.C. - especially the Redskins. It's too bad that we'll never be able to read what they would have said about Chester if he had re-signed with them. I'm sure he would have been a better player in their eyes in that case.

The Redskins are really whipping the money around. This spending spree has reached historic depths.

Wondering what the team is really getting out of all this money. Chester's a guy. A guy at a position of great need, but he's a guy. I think he can start in the NFL, but I think it's telling that he was going to slide over to center to replace Jason Brown, and they signed Matt Birk for big money instead.

I think I like Chris Chester as the future center of the Redskins. But the best RG on the roster could still be Artis Hicks. And he's not good at all.

I want to see how the contracts are structured before I pass judgement. No doubt we have work to do on the OL.

Yeah, contract structure is paramount.

Chester is kind of a weird signing. On the surface, it appears he's getting starters money. Maybe he's not. If he's getting starters money, that means he's not going to need to actually play like a starter in order to start. If he's getting backup money, he could possibly start or even get released.

I think they'll go after other lineman, just: weird.

Right now the projected starting lineup left to right (assuming Jammal Brown re-signs, which is expected) is Williams, Kory L., Monty, Chester, Brown

Would like to see one more interior upgrade that would make Kory or Monty a quality reserve.

complete OL overhaul from when shanny took over. can't say it appears to be a dominant lline but definitely younger and MUCH MUCH better than what we had under zorn.

Thats still looking pretty bad other than Trent Williams.

Hard to say right now. How a line gels together is key. Individual talent is one thing but how they learn to play TOGETHER is paramount. I'm not sure how good a cut back runner Torain is. He seems more of a straight gut, punishing type runner. This line tandem seems to be perfect for a back like ....Portis. May need to discover a good cut back runner in camp. anyone have ideas?

Yeah.. Big "Yikes" on the QB front. Hope the Shanny's know what they are doing here with Beck.

The only thing I think they are doing with Beck is use him to get through this year.....rebuild the other area's and get..........their guy before next season. I don't care WHAT Shannihan is touting, he does not....really believe that JB is the Skins francise QB.
like "stopgap"
