Isn't Trueblood more of a power blocker?

That's true... Though unsubstantially, arguably all three are better

He's pretty athletic, he excels more in run, pashos more in pass pro. Seems like RT by committee.

I like Pashos a lot more than Trueblood, who is one of the worst lineman in the NFL. He couldn't keep his starting job last year, benched due to excessive suckage on a bad team.

Compton has more potential than Trueblood, who has a track record already.

I think the competition is between Compton and Pashos, who was good before missing last year to injury.

Maybe we'll get lucky in the draft but I doubt it...we need a secondary still. Another RB is probably a good idea. I'm still holding out hope that Helu can return to form and Hightower can come back but right now if Morris goes down, we need someone better than Royster.



Coincidently, the Bucs stopped dressing him for games against the Skins.

The more I read, the less I like this move. Also heard he averaged 10.7 penalties from 06-09. If Compton can show significant improvement during OTA'S, Minicamp, and Training Camp, with Pashos and another draft pick competing to start I won't be as concerned about RT

No committee. OL starters must work together as a unit. It's a competition for the job.

Doubt Cooley will be back, he didnt do much after Davis got hurt. Paulsen, Paul and FA or rookie and we will be fine at TE.

call me shocked if Trueblood makes the team

[sdskinsfan2001]

Man this whole salary cap issue is making us the definition of RE-TREAD. Pashos and Youngblood? Those words are synonyms for Polumbus.

I hope that Tom Compton is named the starter, and Pashos/Youngblood battle it out for the back up position and the other guy gets cut. We are gonna have a struggle at right tackle, might as well throw Compton in the deep in and see if he can swim. I'll take young talent any day if the skills are similar to an older vet.

People are saying that but are we forgetting that we couldn't get a first down for a good portion of the Seattle game? We needed Davis in that game. In order to be a Super Bowl contending type of team ( and not one that is one and done in the playoffs) we simply can't afford to let Davis walk out the door.

I think RG3 playing with a bad knee was why we couldn't pick up first downs, Davis wouldn't have won us that game
