O-Line Edition: Free Agency and the Draft

I know it may be difficult to hear this, seeing as how I'm typing this on a computer, but welcome to the boards! Olay, olay olay olay, olaaaaaay, olaaaaay!

Interesting screen name, no?

Also, a lot of people will be disappointed to hear that. We were all counting on Trent Williams to not return as LT, so we could continue our master evil plan to destroy our beloved Redskins.

Thanks, I was reading alot of peoples mock o-line and their starting lineup didn't include Trent Williams; I guess they think he's going to get suspended, or something. That's why I said that, should have probably quoted it.

From Matt Williamson's NFL Chat:

What are some options at right tackle for the Redskins now that Bell is not available? I don't like going into the season with Jammal Brown as the only option, given the questions on his health.

Matt Williamson (12:05 PM)
Yeah, I don't blame you at all. Good observation. Maybe M McNeal or Pashos. It's not like the Skins have draft picks to get a lot of impact in the draft.

He will be in a Skins Uniform next year. He is a better player than JB.

Ah ok. Yeah I have no idea why Trent wouldn't return as starting LT. He served his time so he's good as far as I'm concerned (as long as he stays away from the weed.) I'm glad he got his 4 game suspension out of the way last year though, because I'd hate to see him miss the first 4 games this year while RG3 is hopefully in the lineup.

Okay that explains your comment. Unless something drastically changes, I think TW will be back at LT. Hopefully he won't do anything stupid to get him suspended for a year.

Yeah, I don't think he will; he's not that stupid.

I am not sure why Jamal Brown gets bashed so much. He is a good RT, when healthy. I he can recover from the hip surgery, he still can have two or three years playing at a high level. I think we have more depth on the Oline, than we have had in ten years. Our back ups are Tyler Polumbus(26), Willie Smith(24), and Maurice Hurt(24). All young and still improving. The only time the Oline could not protect the QB was when Eric Cook was in at center(I cant stand him). Brown had no off season therapy last year and is now two years removed from the surgery. I would be happy with them picking a RT, but I don't think it is an emergency. If we had not got screwed with the cap situation we would have signed someone like Eric Winston. That would have been a luxury, it not a necessity. I would rather them pick a linebacker like Mykal Kendricks in third.

The fact of the matter is the Redskins gave the Saints a 3rd rounder for Brown. He has not stayed healthy for a full season since joining the Redskins. If Brown can't stay healthy, then we have to plug in someone else. Polumbus and Willie Smith have impressed. If the Redskins do draft a RT, and I believe we will, then that's more youth in the line-up. Brown is 31 years old and has been proven to not be able to stay healthy. Hell, we should have kept that 3rd round pick from 2010.
