I think Dock, Thomas playing without his injury, and Heyer with another years experience, makes our starting group better. Not to even mention the depth. Kendall was good but couldn't practice. Thomas isn't playing with an injury this year. If Heyer hasn't improved, which I think he will, and is beaten out by Williams or Bridges, then RT has improved. He'll only get beaten out if someone plays better than him. This isn't an all-pro o-line by any means, but they should be better than last year. If someone is available after the cuts, we may take a look at them. We could probably get a better deal after they've been cut from another team anyhow.

True, but it doesn't matter how stupid "WE" think it is, it matters if it translates to wins.
Believe it or not, Theo Epstien (GM Red Sox) got a TON of crap for trading Garciaparra in 04...turned out to be a genius move and won us the series. No one questioned it after we won, in fact, those that said it was dumb, turned around and said it was the bold move the Sox needed to win it all.
It's all about how it works. I'd trade every single draft pick next year for a super bowl win. But only for a super bowl WIN.
Funny that you said that, it reminded me of something that I heard on the radio last season. A study came out that revealed that a large percentile of men (somewhere between 70%-90%) would give up sex for 3 months if their team could win the SuperBowl. I fall into that category.

The Redskins do not need to panic and try to make a trade to aquire a RT. Camp has not even started yet to see what our own guys look like. I hate to say it but if we can't pick up a player who is released during the 53 man roster cuts than we just have to make do with what we have on our roster. Thats why postion coaches get paid to coach up the young players. As far as injuries well they happen anytime. If our O-line doesn't play well this season than maybe 2010 draft we will address that positon. Save our picks and coach up our young players. If Chris Horton can make a impact why can't a young O-Lineman do the same. We have to fined out if our backups can play, if not get rid of them.

Angry:
If indeed the Skins won the Super Bowl; and as a result, you gave up sex for 3 months, you might need to change your screen name.
May I - - ever so humbly - - suggest that it morph into "Depraved Whilst Deprived"?

In other words, they'd get married if their team won the Super Bowl? LOL

Funny, but I do not believe that there is any force in the universe that will grant me a Redskins SuperBowl victory for being celibate for 90 days. And if there was I would want it in writing. Then, and only then would I fathom an actual name change. And it would look something more like "(Insert name of benevolent entity here) is AWESOME!"

i don't think williams is going to make the team. i thought they were going to move jansen inside, before we signed dockery. i'm fine w samuels and heyer at left and right. i'm also fine w samuels and jansen. i would like to see jansen as a 3rd tackle in certain situations, unbalanced, what not.
