We've got big trouble on the OL.

It'd be nice to see Kory get some preseason reps, but as I brought up yesterday the focus on him and Hightower is really to be ready for the regular season.

Jammal is Jammal, we'll see what the MRI says today. I've heard it's not expected to be anything serious. But at this point who can really say anymore. I think everyone knows he's on a short leash. I also think people forget we also got Niles Paul in that Saints trade.

James Lee is pretty much non-existent, which is disappointing but I don't think much was expected of him

It's natural for teams to have more WRs than OL, particularly in camp because of special teams.

The real concern, in my opinion, is Willie Smith. I'm not so concerned about his injury. I'm concerned about what caused his injury. Getting abused by Rob Jackson. He's been getting abused a lot this past week. For a guy expected to take that next step he's taken a few too many back

RGIII better be ready to run and run alot!

I just had a thought.

Lorenzo Alexander.

He'd have to gain another 50-55lbs in four weeks. Unless they plan on feeding him sticks of butter drenched in crisco, I don't think it'll happen.

Not sure why people think Shanahan doesn't value the line. How many guys has he drafted now since he took over?

I think he puts less value on it then WR. Could they have done more knowing they were going to start a rookie QB? I think they could've. I don't think they needed to go out and sign Morgan. That money should've been spent to a linemen. Also they should've taken a linemen w/ the Cousins pick.

Yeah this is the same for me. Im wondering why it seems like hes regressing so badly. I read on HogsHeaven that he gained 20+ pounds, which strikes me as either a very good thing or a pretty bad thing. Over the summer Wiliie was either working out very hard or was just hanging out.

you are really hogging that pipe...Pookie from New Jack City, is that you?

How many of those have been throw away picks? He's only really drafted two before the fourth round... That is what concerns most people.

You have drugs on your mind way too much.

Anyway, Alexander HAS played O-line, so in an extreme emergency...why not? He's our 4th QB and 3rd punter too.

I don't know which position is worst now on our team, OL or DB/S

Sounds like RT is a revolving door at this point and regardless of who plays it won't give Griffin consistent protection. If this "scenario" remains constant over the season and Griffin takes a pounding I sincerely hope the current regime gets run out of town ASAP.

I'm a fan first and a student of the game to a (much) lesser extent, and yet I know that protecting a rookie QB, especially a guy you want to be a superstar, is a basic necessity. How does a coaching staff and GM, remunerated to the tune of millions, not address this before July?! You can disect the decision-making and debate whether it's a matter of hubris, or unrealistic expectations, or whathaveyou, but the bottom line is this isn't how a roster should be managed by any regime, let alone by "legacy" guys.
