Redskins Offensive Line: 2012 Unsung Heroes

Let me say it again - right tackle needs to be the redskins Third priority in the offseason, behind Safety and Cornerback.

I know you're not trying to mock me... Your username is a joke, but as far as jokes, it comes in second - behind your opinions.

Well, it stands to reason. This was a Vinny Cerratto kind of move by Shanahan. You don't trade away a 3rd round pick for an injured player. The trade for Brown was in my opinion worse than the trade Ceratto made for Jason Taylor.

You are not accounting for the fact that both Washington and New Orleans thought that his health might improve. Your current 20/20 hindsight was not available when we got Brown.

What matters is the end result. Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan could have used that 3rd round pick to draft a RT. Brown was/is a great offensive lineman but he is equivalent to an old man who needs a hip replacement. I get tired of reading about this guy's injured hip. I don't blame Shanahan for making the trade but if Brown had health issues at the time Shanahan was talking to the Saints, he should have considered giving the Saints a lower draft pick since it was in exchange for an ailing player. A third rounder was too much to give away.

I was saying what you SHOULD have said. Chill bra!

My screen name is meant to be a joke.

Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one...

Don't tell me to chill or tell me what I should say

Agreed. Not that RT is solid by any means - but D is without a doubt a bigger problem than our offense. Personally though I think we will be able to adress both needs. - one in FA and one with our second round pick. Than with the other picks - depth depth depth - along the oline and secondary.

you were being something of a jerk and he was trying to diffuse your hostility in a friendly way. youve just scored one douchebag point :)

Let me ask a question that may let some of you see it from a different perspective- who is the player that is most important to the redskins right now and will be for the duration of his career? So why would you not put the greatest priority in protecting him? Forget secondary and defense, if there's no RGIII then there's no hope. And many fans are content to let someone in front of him just do a decent enough job to protect him. And just think about RGIII - do you really want him just getting by with decent protection with guys like Pierre-Paul trying to hurt him? I like polumbus, but if there's a chance to upgrade- that would be my first priority - because protecting RGIII should be the biggest priority.

You know what - diffuse this - I don't care

Shanny did just what you said. The original asking price for Brown, a Pro Bowler at the time, was a first and a third. Shanny got Brown for less than that.
