We've got big trouble on the OL.

Hey all - my first post on the warpath - just got booted from extreme skins for "speaking out" about this issue - what a breath of fresh air to see that you are not all homers afraid to speak out against the man. lol - now that i got that off my chest - im keeping my fingers crossed that we pull something together - heard gettis is looking good in camp - need Leribeus to step up and Trent to have a BREAKOUT year. What are your thought on the Cousins pick - im of the school of thought we should have gone after an olineman there - kelemete was projected as a good ZBS fit....

The Cousins pick doesnt bother me; young, back up QB was another need and in the 4th, value was there. The Leribeus pick should have been the Tackle pick imo, McRib mighta been there in the 5th.

Thanks for your actively, refreshing post.

His name is "punch it in".


Welcome to the board. We welcome the banned from ES.

Hah - thanks Monkeydad.

Yeah im not totally bothered by it - Mo Hurt is coming along - and I think next year in draft and fa we go after DB's and OLINE - Rome wasnt built in a day - man am i hoping we got a good enough line that RG-3 dont get killed this year - i think we will be fine ...

Welcome.

I have zero issues with the cousins pick. We can't keep Rex forever, and might as well bring in a quality guy (in terms of talent) to learn to be the backup. Who knows, with a little luck he can be a pre-season super star and we flip him like the Eagles do their QBs.

That was my first thought when we drafted him. Maybe we could flip him to the cowboys and it will work out for them like the cardinals and kolb. Lol. Oh and thanks.

With Chester going down in practice today with a left leg injury (severity TBD) I think we can blame bad luck more than poor planning. It's impossible to be two starters deep at every position group and no other team has injuries to 3 starting linemen. I'm fine with how we've addressed our depth with players with NFL starts (Polumbus, Smith, Hurt) and drafted rookies (LeReibus, Gettis, Compton) who will back up the starters. I also refuse to hit the regular season panic button until September.

This is the reason most guys have a opportunity to step up and mesh into the starting lineup. I've seen some opinions here that Chester is average. If he goes down, I guess those won't be too alarmed.

If someone goes down, it gives another man an opportunity to make the most out of an opportunity he otherwise wouldn't have. The Redskins still have Maurice Hurt to fill in at Chester's position on the line. Hurt played on the left side last season and did a tremendous job so he is capable.

Was at the water park all day and have not heard this - please tell me you are joking? please? I feel like ever since Jansen went down in that Thursday opener against the Jets several years ago that our o-line has been cursed with the injury bug. I realize as a skins fan that I pay more attention to my team but Ill be damned if we can go five minutes without having to scramble our o-line. That being said Im going to pray that the Chester injury is of the least possible severity..............

Chester has a mild ankle sprain.
