Yep. Tragic. But he has hardly seen the field seen he was 24.

Otah was Great when Healthy; Problem though was that he couldn't stay healthy.

Um...okay?
I stated that the Packers drafted 2 1st round OTs.
Your diatribe doesn't change that.

Diatribe? Nobody is attacking you or forcing anything. Quit being a drama queen.


lol, This actually speaks to my point about Jammal Brown's level of play and why RT should have been addressed.
And in as much as Jammal Brown was one of the worst RT/OT in football, yes RT was a weak link last year.

It's really not fair to assess his play when you know the man is playing injured. Now, if you want to argue whether he should be playing or not, that is a different argument all together and a valid one at that.



But, what if they could've drafted a prospect that is potentially better then Polombus going forward?

You can't depend on draft picks panning out or becoming better talent than what you currently have. That too is a gamble as well. We can play the "what if" game all day long.



Where did I say RT would become a weak link? (is everyone of your replies gonna contain things I didn't say and views I don't hold?)
And if you meant to ask how could RT become a weak link my answers would be the same as yours or anyone elses: if there is substandard level of play from the starter and lack of quality depth.

I didn't claim you did say that. I simply showed you the stats and who was playing RT. Now if you want to talk about the DEPTH of the OL, then that could be a valid concern. Then again, we have that same concern with many positions on this team. QB/ILB/CB/S/PK/P/WR...etc I respect your opinion, but we'll agree to disagree on the matter.


I'll remind you again, it's only 1 week into training camp. Long ways to go.

Panthers cut Jeff Otah. Do we claim him?

Trade one injured tackle for another? *mind boggled*

Diatribe? Nobody is attacking you or forcing anything. Quit being a drama queen.You kinda jumped off on a tangent and to be honest your initial approach seemed on the loud/dramatic side.
But, lets keep it football.

It's really not fair to assess his play when you know the man is playing injured. Now, if you want to argue whether he should be playing or not, that is a different argument all together and a valid one at that.Once your on the field there are no excuses.

You can't depend on draft picks panning out or becoming better talent than what you currently have. That too is a gamble as well. We can play the "what if" game all day long.Of course its a gamble its a gamble that every team takes every season at various positions.
The question is whether its more of less of gamble then gambling on Jammal Brown's hip.

I respect your opinion, but we'll agree to disagree on the matter.And I you, I'm secretly hope/suspect that Compton is a sleeping giant.

I'll remind you again, it's only 1 week into training camp. Long ways to go.Of course, but when did Noah build the ark?
If the OL holds up the new look offense with Griffin could be dynamic.

Brown would be more reliable and on the field more.


Otah has missed something like 31 of the last 35 games.

That's a trick question because Noah never existed. :rofl: :silly:


I will say that CB/OL/ILB should be a huge priority going into next off-season. I do worry about our quality at depth(and some starting) at each of these spots.

I wish I could make it out to camp one of these days.
These is so much going on the beat guys don't even look at.

Yeah it would be nice to get a pipeline of developmental players at CB.
But more then CB, Safety is what gives me pause.
They could be really good or woefully average depending on whether a few players bounce back. (My longshot camp crush is Jordan Bernstein, love the kids skillset, but wonder if he's actually worth developing or just a guy with great measurables)

I hear you at ILB, I like Riley a lot and have high hopes for Keenan but after that its bupkis. (no slight to Lorenzo, he's one of my favorite players on the team)
And there is gonna be a huge hole on the team when Fletcher calls it a career.
I hope another leader emerges on defense before then, because even if an adequate player is found at ILB there will be a huge leadership void when #59 is gone. (i feel sad now)

Uh, your comment nothing to do with the Redskins, and how do you know a historical person never existed? According to the one of the oldest documented books in the world, this man existed, this historical book has identified thousands of historical events and individuals and locations quite accurately, verified by multiple external sources....just because the story around him is a challenge to believe does not mean that he never existed. Also, why would all major Monotheistic religions put all their cards on the table supporting the existence of Noah, if there was any question of his existence, the newer religions, Christianity and Islam would correct the original.
They did not, in fact they referred back to Noah several times.

The only real question is, how big was the flood, not did it happen and certainly not that Noah was just made up. Also, for Christians, they HAVE to believe Noah existed, why? Jesus himself spoke about Noah, and if he is sinless, that would make him a liar and a sinner if Noah didn't exist, which would render Christianity void. So regardless of your acceptance of the historical Noah..we need some help on the Oline.

So, if there was a RT available named Noah with starting potential....I would recommend signing him, pronto.

On another note, I think the value of a blocking TE/FB has just gone through the roof...where is Mike Sellers? I am thinking 2 WR sets by wk 3 if things get out of hand...I am thinking of Gibbs 2.0 with max protection for Brunell again...I just don't know if Shanny will adapt like that. It will be interesting to see if he keeps some Beefy blocking non linemen. This plays to Cooley's advantage, at least he attempts to block, Paulson may have a shot after all. We will see during preseason games if Shanny keeps in a FB or blocking TE to help out on the right side. I say he better!

I'd rather 2 WR go out and RG3 scramble for well blocked yards than send everyone out and panic and get crushed.

It may all be ok, but if not....I'd make sure we have a 2nd line of blocking on most snaps
