We're talking about the East
Ooops! My bad.
Based on the OL strength, I would say the Giants. Second place the Skins followed by the pokes and Eagles.

What are you talking about. The Eagles O line was down the field providing blocking while WB ran around them to break the play open. The O line made that play.
I hear you. The point I'm trying to make is that there are ways to make plays in the passing game without requiring our O line to give JC all day to pass and without needing all-world receivers. If we have weaknesses in O line, it's not because they're unable to block downfield. We have good backs. Get them all involved and get them the ball in the passing game. You can run those playe with any O line in the league.

We pretty much didnt run a "Duo"... So Disclude us.
this is a funny subject for Skins fans because... Up until this year we didnt need a "DUO". CP Was an ALL GAME/EVERY DOWN RB. Weve always had duo Capabilities with the very capable Betts luming on our Depth Chart. But i think next year well see what our "Duo" can do.
The all game/every down RB is pretty much a thing of the past... at least for the better running teams in the league. And especially when you're every down, highly paid back can't break a single run longer than 31 yards all year. The Ravens had 2 runs of over 75 yards, both for TDs, in the same game. We need to get with the program.

Hey Hey Redskins fans don't be homer's makes you seem nuts, Cowboys, Giants, Philly, Skins, these other teams have great line play and runners who hit the hole running, even though I think we are last, we are just as close to 1st as any other team, put Clinton Portis behind any other line and see what he does.
When he racked up close to 1000 yards in the first 8 games, there were a plethora of plays where Portis had huge holes to run through, and he couldn't take a single run to the house (from distance). He averaged more yards per carry than the top 2 ball carriers in Baltimore, but they had 3 guys that could score from anywhere on the field. Portis is good, and he's tough, but he's not extraordinary... definitely not worth the money in a league where RBs are a dime a dozen. The Giants had so many good backs 2 years ago that they were able to waive a guy named Ryan Grant. The Chargers let Turner go and Sproles stepped right in. Portis can't carry a team any more than any single Running Back can, including the likes of Tomlinson and Peterson. When was the last time the league's leading rusher won the Super Bowl?
Was it the Broncos?
