Daily Slop: Offensive Line Better than We Think?

Chad Rinehart impressing big [Insider]

When asked on the difference of Chad between last year and this year...
"Night and day," Bugel said. "Difference between yesterday and today. He's going to be a real good football player for us....He's come back ready to go. He's about 309, 310 pounds, so I've been very pleased with him."

NFL Outsider ranks the top 10 most valuable Redskins right now [mvn]

(I disagree a little bit. I think Jason Campbell should be #1, and "Malcolm Kelly/Devin Thomas together should be #2. I don't think Cooley is more valuable than the London Fletcher. Losing London would be a MAJOR blow. Fred Davis could step in and lessen the blow for Cooley I think.) What do you think?

(Interesting note is that the Redskins were ranked #36 in 2006. Mighty fall. I wonder how the new tailgating rules will affect the 2010 standings.)

Agreed

It’s funny when you look at footage of RFK…the stands and fans…then you compare that to the Fedex Field experience. It makes sense why Fedex Field was ranked #92 best stadium experience in ESPN’s list. We need a new stadium in the city.

Footage

Where did you get it from? It wasn’t YouTube was it?

I'm worried about the beer supply. After this case, and the other case, there's only one case left- Barney Gumble

I need to update the post w/ that too…give credit due.

+1000

And it needs to be engineered to be the loudest stadium in the world, with a retractable roof, the biggest Jumbotron ever, and a Metro station located directly outside (not 2 miles away).

wow @ those two plays.

perfect football. off tackle run with great blocking. downfield passing to take advantage.

Completely Agree

That little vignette summed up the difference between Gibbs’ two tenures in DC.

Wow @ that Top 10 List. Couldn't be more wrong, IMO

It doesn’t take into account importance of position. Love him or hate him, JC is easily the most important player on our team. What Todd Collins did a couple years ago is unlikely to be repeated over the course of 16 games and without our starting QB, we’d struggle to win 6 games.

London Fletcher is probably our 2nd most important player. We have nobody even near his talent level ready to fill in. His on-field coaching and leadership is irreplaceable.

As much as I knock him, Santana Moss remains extremely important due to the fact that he’s our ONLY downfield threat. Could you imagine if he got hurt? Defenses would put 9 men in the box every down.

I like Carlos but he’s not that valuable. He was out-played by D. Hall last year.

Chris Samuels is definitely up there, as with LFB, we have no one near his talent level available to replace him.

Andre Carter being top 10 is a joke. He is an above average DE who’s only recently begun to play well against the run.

Haynesworth is probably top 10 but without seeing him play for us, it’s hard to rank him.

Laron is extremely important because like ST21 (RIP), he’s athletic enough to play safety sideline to sideline, allowing the rest of the secondary to do more.

Bugel

Coach Bugel gives props to EVERYONE. Even people that dont deserve it.

by Elaw6 on Jul 2, 2009 2:09 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Actually

They had a link in that RI article to an earlier January article where Bugel and other coaches were very critical of Rinehart’s ability.

C. Rogers #2 ?!?!

“he’s essentially a five day older version of Nnamdi Asomugha. "

At this juncture in his career it’s not the least bit fair to put Rogers in the same sentence as Nnamdi. Rogers can tackle, i’ll give him that, but those dropped INT’s are back-breakers.

Now for every one about to create a shit storm about how wonderful Rogers is im going to review every game (VIA NFL Rewind) and try to find justification for him being number two.
And honestly, i think i’ll be hard pressed to find a reason for him to be in the top ten.

Gospel truth
If Rinehart indeed has improved by leaps and bounds, and with Bridges and Montgomery, there actually might be some decent interior depth. But with the aging starters, this is a unit that can no longer be ignored and needs to be upgraded with young, capable starting players . . . and soon.

RAK EM UP!

if Rinehart is able to contribute as a back up and in the future as a starter that would be huuuuuuuuge.

drafting talent really helps the cause.

portis should be number 1

to all those saying JC should be number one..

i ask this how many def coordinators stay up late at worried about JC? until Campbell can lead this team when def are stacking the box against portis then he will never be a threat .. and that is what that list was a list that says what players other teams worry about every week….

by confederate_gent on Jul 3, 2009 2:57 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

That's exactly why JC should be #1

We know what Portis brings…he’ll do it again this year. The Skins ENTIRE season rests on JC stepping up….hence, #1.

by KevinE on Jul 3, 2009 7:51 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

JC #1 is wishful thinking...

why should JC be number #1 when he hasn’t proven any thing? to me it’s just wishful thinking to put him no1 he hasn’t proven anything…. right now are you going to tell me that JC is more of a threat than portis is?

by confederate_gent on Jul 3, 2009 5:21 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

The post is not about who is the best

It’s about what player is the most important in making our season a winning one. This season is all on JC’s shoulders.

by KevinE on Jul 3, 2009 7:26 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

most valueable means best

Most valuable means threats. i mean when I’m talking to a cowboys fan and talking about our most valuable players i would name these players right here. not what we need to win, but who is going to get us those W. and if i were to say JC they would all laugh at me

by confederate_gent on Jul 5, 2009 3:48 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Of course Portis is more talented and more of a threat than JC, but that’s not the whole story. You’re not talking into account the value of the position itself.

RBs can get plugged in and get decent output (as we did with Betts 2 years ago). It RARELY happens with QBs, by nature of the position and the game of football. If you think Todd Collins can repeat what he did, that’s your prerogative.

greatest game in RFK history. where can i get the entire game?

by kdogg3270 on Jul 3, 2009 1:29 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Most important redskin during the last five years: Cornelius Griffin

Most important in 2009: Chris Samuels

Samuels is on the downside of his career, but is the guy the team can least afford to have go down with an injury in 2009.

2nd most important in 2009: Santana Moss
