How is it ridicoulous? We have b*t*hed moaned and complained about our O-line needs for years. Now that we are starting to address these issues makes this a righteous thread IMO.

ridiculous? there's a reason that the word "speculation" even exists

there is reason to believe that roles/positions within the division will change and due to some instances it's not silly to think that we may be at the forefront of benefiting from our additions

I agree, who knew there could be so much drama by asking if something COULD happen.

Man, I don't get why some are so uptight whenever something positive is said about the team. Of course it's ultimately going to come down to what happens on the field, but what's wrong with talking about what could possibly happen?

Seriously. I think we could have the best offense, the best defense, the best special teams and win the Super Bowl. Is it likely? Probably not, but who cares? Why not think big and think positive? What good is being a fan if you're not going to get excited?

Ok, ok...maybe it is not ridiculous...but it sure is unlikely.
Rookie LT, injury prone RT...RG to be determined, center is average RG is a bit above average, most have never played together...we have a completely new offense with a new blocking scheme, with a new QB....not to mention a new oline coach...and the vast majority have not played nor coached in the NFC east....on top of this....we had the arguably the worst offensive line in the franchise for 25 years....oh yeah....our oline is the BEST!

take it easy on me....I just thought I'd throw in some valid reasons that our line is in radical transition at this point..is it possible that they will be the best...yes....but highly unlikely. The best olines have been playing together for 3+ years with the same coaching. I'd expect the best result is to achieve a decent to good oline....say the 12-15th best out of 32...that is a MASSIVE improvement from 28th-32nd last year.

So don't call me a debbie downer. I expect solid improvement. I just dont expect miracles.

One real injury doesn't exactly scream injury prone

Perhaps, but he is coming off a major injury and was on injured reserved...that is obviously a concern.

Are you agreeing with my other points?

Do you think the Skins have the best O-line in the NFC east?

I am not uptight about being positive. Finally, we have a decent FO that is providing real talent and Snyder is not scheduling his own press conferences. It is a Great start! That is positive.

But saying we may have the best line in the division in July after a 4-12 season...that is reverting back to our old ways of Snyerratto days.
Since Snyderraatto took over the team 10 or so years ago, we have been the kings of talk. Kings of of signing the big free agent and trying to create a big media splash. Kings of the press conferences. Talk talk talk.....we were named the Champions of the off season.
Last year (first half of season) we were the laughing stock of the NFL on the field.
We finally have some positive things, why spoil it by saying things like we have the best OL in the division? That is not positive, that is stupid.
Can we once just develop into a great team and not try to convince ourselves and others in the process. Let it happen on its own.

You do realize this was simply a topic that came up on NFL radio. How is talking, which we do a lot of in the off-season, spoiling anything??

our line has the most potential... looks good on paper.

And at the heart of it, that's all this thread (and the original discussion on NFL radio) is about.

I have the maximum amount of respect for that word "potential". Somehow, it always manages to find it's way into sports discussions. So much depends on it's development.
