Injuries will create a youth movement opportunity

And there was one year, 1986 or 1987, where we lost a bunch of O linemen and kept on trucking. Didn't skip a beat. But that was back when we had a "system". The consistently good teams today lose guys all the time and can still maintain.

And there was 1992 the year after winning the SB, the skins had so many injuries all around, that Brian Mitchell was the starting RB in the playoffs. Spanked the Vikings and came a fumble away from beating the 49ers at Candlestick Park. In my opinion that was the best coaching job by Joe Gibbs of his entire career.

I, for one, am excited to see what some of our youngsters can do. I believe if we are to be successful on offense, we need to have younger, faster offensive linemen. But, I am excited that Keiland Williams has stepped up and delivered. I'm hoping Torrain can get back into the lineup, as well as Portis. Definitely also eager to see what James Davis can do for us.

Regardless if this team makes the playoffs or not this year, I just want this team to make the most of the next six games and end the season on a high note.
