Rank our OLine among the 32 teams

[BigSKINBauer]

Atlanta, Jax, San Fran, and San Diego above us. I'll put KC and Pitt above us for the fact that they have been good for a relatively long time. So... 123456 7

I'm thinking we are in the top 5. I'm basing that on last years performance. One could say "well we lost Dockery", I never thought he was that great anyway. I'll bet that whoever is in the LG position they'll be at least on the same level if not better than Dockery. I'm thinking Wade will start off the season and I'm hoping Whitticker takes over later in the season so we can have some youth on the line.

I think I'm more inclined to lean toward your ranking, BSB. I would say maybe 8 or so. Again, my main contention is we didn't have a winning record.

But I don't have a problem with 7, or 5 for that matter.

With the lingering problem at LG I would say we are somewhere around 10-12.
This experiment with Wade is not going to work.

This is being modest, I'll say #6 overall.

I would think, although I'm not sure on this, that the biggest factor into how effective an offense is is how good it's line is. Unless you have unimpressive skill position players, and the Redskins certainly don't, I wouldn't rank a line above where I would rank their overall offense.

I'll disclose the theory I'm writing on later.

The we're number one!!!!!!11!!! stuff, while encouraging, helps me not at all. GhettoDog is a good example of what I'm looking for.

Thanks again in advance.

So does this mean my vote don't count?

darn

GTripp, you might regret asking this question here. You're going to get answers from all over the map. Where do you think they rank?

[Tha Posse]

I agree, but I would also include the QB

I asked the question because I didn't think my position on how good they were was any stronger then the next guys. By averaging the responses in this poll, I hope to get a rough estimate of where Redskin fans see their offensive line at right now.

Thats certainly the other significant part of offense. Quarterback varience is very, very great in this league.

Although the production of a QB is very dependant on that of the OL.

Very interesting way of looking at it. I like the way it sounds because I have always felt that both sides, offense and defense, starts at the line. I still feel the team builds on the line but i would look at it as a team is only as good as its o-line rather than an o-line is only as good as its team it is on.

I do agree that we don't have a bad offense outside of the o-line so it is not like our qb's wrs rbs, ect are pulling down our offense. However, it is interesting- i don't think one team i named in the top 7 is top 10 in overall offense. Very int-er-est-ing....hmmm

Moreover, I still feel the fact that we weren't top ten in offense is not to say we we didn't(w/ dockery) have a top ten o line. I think it brings up more questions about the functionality of our offense under Saunder more than anything else. Though it was just the first year of the system.

The offensive line is one of the strengths of this team. Chris Samuels is a perennial Pro Bowler. Randy Thomas and Jon Jansen are worthy of Pro Bowl selections. That makes this group top five. They were able to protect the quarterback effectively and produce two 1,000+ yard runners. The only other offensive lines that are comparable are Indy, San Diego, Kansas City and maybe Denver. There are some honorable mentions, such as New England, Pittsburgh, Chicago and Seattle. The Redskins boasts one of the best lines in the league, definitely the best line in their division.

[Tha Posse]

Yeah I think that although Campbells numbers weren't that great last year that it can't be blamed on our line rather his inexperience. I think we will get a much improved Campbell this year! Anyway, uhhhhh yeah #6

[wilsowilso]

No better than top ten. This line has underachieved in years past based on talent. They should have been more dominant and they have not done that. The thing is they have had garbage QB's forever so who really knows? If Campbell is the real deal then I don't doubt the Oline could move up to top two or three in the entire league.
