This is a very reasonable post. The same line that crumbled and failed us last year is a year older, had several additional surgeries and is already falling apart.

Well if our O-Line scares you and your not sitting back there taking hits, than how will Jason Campbell feel? Thats why he is a QB and your a fan. We got to Man Up and go kicks some azzzzz.

exactly what does this mean?

Eventually Vinny & Danny needs to realize you can't have a franchise QB with a terrible o-line. You also can't make strides with your receivers and QB if JC doesn't have a line. In the next a couple of years, we need to dedicate the draft to getting an all-star o-line simple as that.

2010 Draft we go get some young O-Lineman just wait. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Kool Aid is bad for you, it rots your teeth and makes you fat.

Wow, didn't take long for the sky to start falling huh.

Look, some of these tweaks are things that wouldn't even be a blip on the radar during the season. But in August there's no reason to risk guys so a broken finger nail is going to keep a guy out of practice. Rabach is coming back today, and we knew from the start that Thomas was going to be brought along slowly during the preseason.

A voice of reason.

Better to have Thomas sit out of camp but be healthy for Dallas than the other way around.

Worreid about O-line but i got a feeling we gonna see production from the d-line like the days of Butz, Manley, and Mann once again!!! Half full.

While I'm not panicking over Heyer, it's somewhat hard for me to understand why we don't go out and pick up Jon Runyan, who has been on the market all spring and summer. Even at his advanced age he's still an upgrade over Heyer, even when Heyer is healthy.

Maybe he's demanding a lot of $, I don't know. We don't have the cap space to go signing somebody to a deal with a significant signing bonus. But seems like we should at least stop to sniff that fire hydrant.

They have an open roster spot, Manapuna was released and nobody was signed to take his spot. Maybe Vinny's gearing up to do something (warning, pure speculation, no basis for this).

CRedskinsRule · 08-05-2009, 08:48 AM

Schneed do you have a ballpark of what we could sign someone for? I think they probably are looking for a solid OT but it seems like everyone may be asking too much right now.

Well, apparently we just signed DJ Hackett and waived Roydell Williams. I'm guessing they offset each other when it comes to the cap.

After Jansen's release and allowing for rookie signings, we should have in the neighborhood of $2.0 million in space. CC is doing an update this week so we'll get a better number with more detail behind it then.

But assuming the $2.0 is right, and assuming we need to leave $0.5 available to help with other injuries, it sure seems like we can afford to pay somebody a Pete Kendall type deal. 1 or 2 years for $1.5 million per season.

Good info, Thanks

schneed, im with you on this. but Runyan probably wants more then a one year deal. i do agree even at his age, he is an upgrade
