The Skins' biggest area of need?

DL depth is a non issue. We have 8 guys on the roster right now.


DL is a huge issue, we got 3 solid starters now, 1 overpaid guy with mediocre production (wynn) and both DEs are 31+ years old. The backups outside of evans are terrible. We need a pass rushing threat and young guys. at least one DT to replace noble's spot and a DE. Kampman at DE (80tackles 6.5 sacks, insane production) and draft tapp to bulk him up and move him to DT where he'll have absolute monster speed for the position (like tommy harris or griffin when he first entered the league).

Our offense really stagnated after Randy Thomas went down, but the real problem was at WR. We had a dynamic passing game when Patten was in the lineup, not because of his stats (they weren't terribly impressive), but because he opened things up for his teammates. After his injury, our passing game became very limited, although we saw a resurgence in the running game. If we get a solid #2 guy, Patten can serve as #3 and our passing attack will be dangerous again.

DL is an issue of concern too. A ferocious pass rusher would make our D even better. BTW, I was extremely impressed with our defense in the playoffs.

Here is my list of needs.

Wide Receiver - Need an athletic receiver with size and speed to complement Moss.
Defensive End - Need a pass rushing specialist.
Place Kicker - Hall is at the end of his rope. Need a strong legged young kicker.
Offensive Line - The starting five is very good. I'm concerned about depth.
Returner - Need a return specialist. Antonio Brown is too shakey.

even though no one was happy with patten's production, just the fact that he was on the field gave us an average of over 85 more pasing yards per game. That's pretty significant.

You are right the fact that Patten was on the feild ment that the D had to account for him. Everyone knows that Patten has the potential to break one for a big gain or a TD. The problem was that when we needed him he was injured, I still think that we would have seen his production go up when teams started to double cover Moss. Either way, Patten or Moss, would have ben in single coverage along with Cooley.

I don't concur with SC that the only reason Dockery was starting was because our depth was so bad that there was anyone decent enough to challenge him. He is a starter on just about any team outside of teams with pro bowlers at both guard spots.

That is laughable. Name one team with pro-bowlers at both guard spots? Dockery is the weak link on our offensive line (with Jansen, Thomas, Rabach and Samuels healthy).

FRPLG:

BTW, the Skins made it through 2005 with Samuels and Jansen at OT for about every snap of the ball on offense. That was a major factor in the OL's improvement over last year when Jansen was out and Samuels was playing at middling efficiency. Molinaro might have been satisfactory because he worked hard in practice and didn't cost a whole lot in terms of cap room - AND he didn't have to play a lot so that other teams could figure out if he has a huge hole in his game. He may be spectactular or he might be a stumblebum if he has to play 14 games next year. That's why this team needs OL depth - badly.

hahaha, he said stumblebum :laughing2

Yea, Everyone knows we need a wide out,,,,,BUT dont forget the thing that hurt the last few games. FIELD POSTION we need a kicker i mean punts are good but we cant kick oof past the 30. when was the last time, u saw us kick in the endzone.

This poll is truly a landslide.
