Honestly it wasn't as bad as some would say, Trent played good most of the year but a weakness was jamal at rt. Imo it's a decent unit not horrible not great

Thanks bro. Is Jamal brown still on the team? I know he got injured but will he be ready for the season?

Sadly he's still on the team. We're stuck with him unless we cut him, but it would be a $6.2 million dollar cap hit if we cut him.

Hip injury. Btw with Demetrius Bell if we signed him, he is better suited for LT. Which is where Trent is. Do you think Shanahan will move Trent? I don't see him doing that.

he'd be a 1.5mill cap hit. it's release fee - 2012 cap number = hit over keeping him.

41 sacks, but 10 came in one game during the failed John Beck experiment against one of the worst pass rushing teams in the league, the Bills. Not too bad considering our QBs are severely immobile and sometimes hold onto the ball.

We need to add some pieces, but don't need to break the bank in free agency like many believe. Shanny's O-lines in Denver were very good and made up of virtual no names found in the mid to late rounds. I'm confident they'll find some players in the draft, and free agents will be signed through the summer. Better and more mobile QB combined with better weapons should take pressure off the line anyway. Running game was pretty good, especially considering we played 2 rookies.

Meaning we won't

I hope the redskins are targeting a player with their first pick in the draft for either guard, inside lb, or cornerback- priority in that order.

by first pick of the draft I hope your talking about our 3rd rounder after our first rounder since that will be used on Griffin.

I bet you hear this a lot... "You know that guy is a damn dick"

Pro football Focus had brown rated as almost the worst starting RT. Hopefully he gets pushed to being just a backup on his way out. Can they cut him next offseason? Really bummed we didn't go after Winston, seemed like a perfect fit?
