No.

First of all, we don't yet know who all the starters will be. When that is determined, then they need to work together for long enough to meld into a unit. More than any other group on the field, the coordinated efforts of the players is what makes an OL. Also, we're going to be starting a rookie at OLT which I find pretty scary.

So we've got a long way to go before we have any idea how good out OL can be. At this point, I'd have to say that at least the Giants and Dallas OL's should be more cohesive and, as such, better than ours. We'll just have to see how our OL does once the season starts.

I always look at the source first. Who the fuck are those two clowns?

The Giants line has been amazingly healthy, but they are getting older, and how much that shows up will go a long way to how well they do. I still think they are the best until our line shows that it can stay healthy and TW shows he can pass block.

The Dallas line though benefits from Romo's escapability, and Felix Jones speed. I would not put their line as any better than ours as it stands now. Their left OT is as shaky as ours was without Samuels, they are relying on an unproven LT in Free, and a bust LT in Barron. We have an unproven rookie, but IF he doesn't pan out we can shift JBrown over, and put Hicks back at RT, that alone is a better line than Dallas'. And Dallas has overlooked their line in the draft nearly as badly as we have.

The final question mark is Rabach. Is he good enough, and he has looked bad due to the lack of talent around him, or is he just bad. If he is bad, we will need a rookie(Cook) or 2nd year guy (williams) to step up and play.

Pessimism is natural due to our recent past, but let's not give credit to other teams without looking at their flaws.

It is great we have finally invested in the future of our O-line.
We have had a productive offseason.
But that is as far as we should take it when it comes to talk.
I would prefer to quietly sneak on other teams next year and knock the shit out of them.
Talk is for losers. Show it on the field.
We sound like fans of a perennially losing team with articles like this one.
It is embarrassing for a 4-12 team to talk like this.

I still think a wild card as our back up center is Kory L. ( not even going to try and butcher his last name ) Shanny drafted him in the fourth round a few years ago for a reason. Given MS's track record with talent later in the draft Kory may end up with the back up role with a chance to start if Casey struggles.

I will say this is the first time in a LONG time that the Sirius talking heads are giving the Skins a ton of love. Not off-season champions type mocking, but real respect to the organization for handling themselves like an elite group. I like that!

Unfortunately we kinda are. We haven't won much of anything in a long time.

Too soon to tell, but we shouldn't be ranked last anymore.

For Adam "I love the Giants and for some reason have a huge man crush on Romo" Schien to give the Redskins any love, we must have done something right. He has hated on us for so long. I am kinda shocked at how he has turned his opinion in the Redskins. God he hated on us so much I honestly quit listening to his show. Now I am a huge FAN OF T-Rock and Patty Kerwin. Those two guys have always brought it in a much different fashion. Much love for Moving the Chains from me.

It all starts up top with having guys like MS and BA in charge. Then adding Donovan back at Easter had more people believing. I have to say it again. The Redskins have spent a ton of time this offseason revamping this football team, and I for one know we will have something to show for it come September.

Exactly. We've been the worst for two years straight probably in the entire league. We still got question marks as mentioned above especially at Tackle. If Brown can regain form and Williams plays to his draft position, we should be fairly good. Injury at Tackle or Trent cant make the transition, we are going to have problems again. But we have done well in acquiring players and building depth so at least Allen has put us in position to even mention the headline of this thread.
