true....lol

I also remeber us getting sacks on them last year at least 2 or 3, and we were one of the worst sacking teams in the league, plus Arizona is a quicker passing team, with Recieving weapons MUCH better than ours IMO

Yes but you should judge an offensive line on its ability to both run and pass block. As I said, that Arizona was not a great running team, but they they were very good in pass protection, giving up 28 sacks (tied for 11th in the league) and protecting Warner against tough defenses like Atlanta, Philly, and Carolina in the playoffs.

Rabach is a mediocre if not worse NFL player. He pretty much stinks.

I like Willis and Brown! Younger and are on the up side at a fare price. For this season Willis would be better then anyone in this draft. The long run is another story. I don't know if a top OT will fall to 13th pick. Now this draft has some great LB's and is so so on DE. At 13th pick some star LB's could be had. Picking up Willis and Brown would make for a stronger line. Here is the BIG thing...with only one pick in the first two rounds that hurts our chances of fill three spots. Yes you can trade down and get more picks but picking right on one pick would be great but filling two spots with rockies is just not going to happen. So if the team is going to be a Championship type team we must fill some spots with vets that can do the job a year or two or find younger guys that may make that big jump to a starter. Is Willis or Brown that type of guys? Maybe...That is why Vinny get's the big bucks and he and Danny need to find these kind of players to make this team great again!!!

Hey... isn't that Elton Brown the dude from Iron Chef America on the Food Network?

Why can't we see who's on-line at the top of the page anymore?

T.O.Killa · 03-05-2009, 09:18 PM

Does this mean that the Redskins think that the best player available in the draft at thirteen will be a LB?

I know Oline is our biggest need but I think Rey will be the face of our defense for years to come

The only problem with Ray is he ran a 4.8 40yd dash. That is just to slow.

He also got hurt in the middle of that run.

I see, so he has durability problems

. You just can't win. Still I think a lot of the other people were right about Rey in that on gametape he plays at a speed and intensity that few players can match.

As for the argument that he can't play OLB. I honestly doubt that for one the guy is a football player who's been credited with having some of the better instincts in this years draft. On top of that he's shown the ability to cover in pass coverage, and most of all he's a hell of a pass rusher, and he build that reputation from the MLB spot. All these are attributes that make a succesful OLB.

The 40 isn't a good measure IMO. Watch video of Rey M, he closes like a lightning bolt on QBs, RBs, and even TEs.

I think you could be right!!!

The other problem with rey is that he is a natural middle LB and we have that covered with Fletcher.
