Re: We need O-Line help
I think potential Pro Bowlers were the words used and I wouldn't completely disagree with that.

Re: We need O-Line help
I think we can all agree that we don't have any future Hall of Famers on our O-line.
But I thinks it's safe to say that we did improve it by signing Rabach, and by having Jansen back is a huge improvement by itself. Another minicamp/training camp under Buges helps also. Judging by the way the line played last year, I'm sure Buges will be on these guys like flies on shit. I'm very optimistic about our O-line next year. |

Re: We need O-Line help
they will be contributors. samuels is solid, dockery might have some competition, rabach will be solid, thomas is underrated, and jansen is underrated also. the only question mark is dockery. will he perform at the highest level, or will he be replaced with a backup? only dockery can answer that question. i see our o line as one of the best in the league now.

Re: We need O-Line help
As people have been saying, 4 out of the 5 starters look pretty good. Dock is a question mark, but he has his moments. Who couldn't use more depth on the O-line in this league? We've got--it seems to me from the lofty vantage point of my computer--a decent mix of vets and young players at backup. We have no more money to really upgrade, so it will have to do.
The main variable is coaching. Our D-line was supposed to have trouble against the run last year, if I recall. It excelled, with a bunch of no-names and an underachiever from the gints. KNow what the key was? Coaching. Buges and Gibbs have to get this bunch playing up to their potential, in a scehme that exploits Portis and gives the statue-like Ramsey enough time to work the down-field play-action. O-line isn't a weakness if the coaches do their job. Still waiting to hear the source of the "Gibbs is down on Molinaro and Wilson" claim.

I can't wait to see Sean Taylors bust in Canton.

Re: We need O-Line help
Everyone knows that Skins don't get in to HOF no matter what they do (see Art Monk).

Re: We need O-Line help
I was assuming it was the dry humor that he mentioned. If not, I also have a problem.

Re: We need O-Line help
A HEALTHY Jansen, and Rabach at center.....that alone will improve our line.
Considering his age, I was impressed with Ray Brown, I don't expect him to start but an able backup.......

Re: We need O-Line help
Our O line will be fine... No one gives Dockery the credit he deserves. He is not awful like everyone is making him out to be... I think in a year or 2 he could be anchoring this line. I really think Samuels is overated. I love Jansen and Thomas is never given the respect that he definitely deserves... We will be fine but we need a blocking tight end some kind of bad...

Re: We need O-Line help
I spoke to R Thomas on draft day and asked him what Rabach will bring to this line.
He smiled and said power. He said this guy pushes the D-Line backwards and this will bode well for the running game. |

Re: We need O-Line help
More specifically, our red zone offense. Someone right in the middle pushing THAT hard followed by White or Nehemiah is going to be devastating to a D.
