Yea, I guess your right. The Skins should cut Samuels too cause they had a bad O-line also.

Guess what....one man does not make a team. Just cause they had a terrible O-line does not mean Pace sucks. It means either the scheme was flawed, there were break downs in other positions on the O-line, or possibly Pace sucked. One telling point of view would be to look at how many sacks he gave up. Perhaps look at how far the runs went on his side of the line.

If we could bring him in on the cheap and have Buges work with his techniques maybe he will still have some gas left in him. I mean Samuels was (so I heard) written off before the Skins got him and thats why he speaks so highly of Buges. Yes Pace is older, but an upgrade is an upgrade. I still wonder if the Skins will play a Rookie in the O-line who has not played in any NFL games and needs to get up to NFL speed. It seems the team frowns on it. Every coach that comes in has not put the Rookies in on offense. Defense has been a different story though.


edit: Before you all mention Heyer remember he got in due to injury and lack of depth.
