If we are happy with our tackles then Bobby Griff is happy with grass stains on his butt.

So you have no confidence that Thompson will be able to grow into this role? That remains to be seen. But this has been the problem around here, not having the ability to develop our own players, or not doing it enough.

I didn't see anything from him last year that would make me pass over a proven player like Sproles.

We have homegrown players in Morris and Helu already in the backfield.

Yep, Thompson hasn't shown us much flash yet other than a pr against Tampa scrubs.

Well, my opinion of our new Head coach just skyrocketed!

For a fun read......
Cerrato: Bengals better without Gruden (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/wp/2014/03/10/cerrato-bengals-better-without-gruden/)

wow, can you imagine that guy explaining and guiding this team. For his justification of his idea he took one play (an intercepted pass) from a game that the Bengals offense scored 27 points, and won the game to show why a new offensive co-ordinator will improve the Bengals, THEN realize the question was about how the Redskins would do under Gruden... mind blowing.

hypothetical discussion if VC had still been with the Redskins at the time of TW's drafting
DS: What do you think of Trent Williams
VC: Man, The Terps have this LT that just blew away the Sooners DE.
DS: Well what about TW?
VC: Just think if the Terps LT does that, and TW practices against that DE every day, just what does that say about TW.
DS: ??
VC: All I'm saying is that the Terps LT sure blew him off the line on that one play
DS: the Terps LT blew off TW? wait, so are you saying we should get the Terps guy?

and so on in an infinite loop of vc mumbo speak

Chris Cooley had an interesting take on the O line, he said Lictensteiger would be moved to center, and the Redskins were happy with their tackles

Polumbus is a solid back up but no way is he a 16 game starter. I've just seen him on roller skates too many damn times.

Given I believe mostly the opposite of what JLC says, we must be getting Aqib Talib

There has been lots of talk around the league about Redskins chasing Aqib Talib, but I don't expect them to heavily pursue

They are developing their own, maybe Compton has added 20 lbs of muscle

Signing a playmaker like Sproles isn't the same as not developing our own. Thompson was a 5th round draft pick from last year, who was out with injury. If anything, bringing Sproles in on a reasonable two year deal would let us develop Thompson properly. Expecting him to be a Sproles - like playmaker after being put on IR his rookie(only) season is likewise overvaluing our own player and missing an opportunity to take advantage of another team's poor salary cap management.

To me, RB is one of the fee strengths on this team. Although Helu is not as elusive as Sproles, he's more than capable of catching the ball out of the backfield. We just have too many other needs...tackle, guard, interior pass rusher, LB, secondary, WR..even TE.
