It's the Line Stupid

Before some stupid person corrects me I know “stupids” is not a word !!

And it would be that simple if you would stay on target and not go off on tangents…

My whole point in posting this is for the " JC haters or skeptics " that seem to over look how good team talent can really help make a Qb look great.

Offensive line Talent yes, but WR, RB or game changers not as much because of the pitiful line, stay on point and beat and hammer how bad the line is and hope they fix the line.

The real difference between the redskins and the other teams in the NFC besides our sorry Offensive line is “GAME CHANGERS”. We do not have any game changers IE Desean Jackson, Felix Jones, Miles Austin, Jeremy Maclin, Tashard Choice, Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin, Piere Thomas, Reggie Bush, Devery Henderson, Michael Turner, Deanagelo Williams, Johnathan Stewart, Steve Smith etc etc. maybe some of you have not noticed this but the overwhelming majority of good teams have at least one game changer.

Sorry ass line yes but because of the line and blocking how does anyone really know what the Redskins have at the other skill positions, WR, KR, PR: I do see a neglect at RB too but a RB can’t do anything without a line so I’m staying on point.

It’s nothing but the line, and until it’s fixed it does not matter

Bobby Turner is the only NFL coach to have 2 Undrafted RBs run for over 500yds their first season in the NFL. That and his knack for finding backs in the lower rounds bodes well, as I think we need new blood behind the QB – unless they decide Ganther is the guy.

I’m just saying that at MOST, they might use a low pick for an RB and they’ve shown themselves resourceful in finding players elsewhere.

Finally, I anticipate a glut of O-linemen coming out for the draft early due to the CBA situation. I would be surprised if an Undrafted player or two are brought into camp for a look – and one of those could be a real find on the cheap.

It is hard to understand how any Redskin fan can not understand the importance of the Offensive Line, but apparently many still can not grasp what makes an offense in the NFL function. Whatever Mike Shannahan does is fine with me, I am a fan, not an expert, but I do hope that O-line is at the least our first two picks as well as possible FA help

I know that you guys all rode the short bus to school when you were little, but I hope you guys can cure your retardation because it is getting on the nerves of all us rational and logical redskins fans that know that our biggest problem is the OL and that JC is actually a good QB who led us to a 6-2 record the last time he had an OL.

but we can’t ignore other weaknesses just by drafting linemen. We need to get 2 solid linemen out of this draft, definately a LT and at least a solid backup. We can and should get a LT with either our 1st or 2nd pick. With good scouting, we should get another quality linemen in the later rounds. I think 1 of those first 2 picks could and should address another area of need. If a higher rated player is on the board when it is our turn to pick, I don’t think we should ignore that player just to draft a linemen. I hope we don’t reach in this draft, too many good players available. This is a good, deep draft for linemen.

whether we play 4-3 or 3-4, OLB is a must get. Of that list I like Kindle or Jerry Hughes in the 2nd. I have read that Weatherspoon is just a 4-3 Will backer. Dexter Davis or Sheffield could be had in the 4th. Antonio Coleman or Justin Cole in the 6th. Most of the LBs available are either 4-3 or 3-4, but not both. Not sure what defense we will run, but I am only looking for guys that can play both. Of all the linebackers in this draft, these 6 are the ones I am most interested in. If we only get 5 picks, I hope 1 of them is for OLB, preferably one of these guys.
