Is that above or below the position Zorn currently holds there?

[Dirtbag59]

LT - Okung

LG - Dockery

C - Rabach

RG - BMW

RT - Hicks

Backups

T- Heyer

C - Kory L

G - Edwin Williams

G/RT - Rabach or a toss up between a Rookie and another Vet.

Have heard that before RT @redskinsblog: Kyle Shanahan professes complete confidence in the #redskins offensive line. Media seems skeptical.

I wouldn't read too far in to anything Kyle said about the OL. Vintage coach-speak.

That's such a peculiar set-up there: former HC Jim Zorn is the QB coach, former HC Al Saunders is the Senior Offensive Consultant, former HC Cam Cameron is the Offensive Coordinator

I didn't really have an opinion either way. I just posted it because I felt it was relevant. However in regards to the coach speak the difference here is he heaped pretty high praise of the guys who were there and I think thats why people are taking notice. A more neutral response that probably would have never hit the presses wold have been something along the lines of "We're just seeing what we have right now. We'll know more after training camp" or something like that.

To me a lot of the quotes from Kyle are things he didn't have to say. Now maybe it's just a smokescreen for the draft, maybe it's genuine but now that I think about it, the quote is most definitely noteworthy.

And a former Special Teams Coach is the Head Coach. Boo ya!

I am holding out hope that we get our starting LT-(Okung) in this draft, and at least someone to compete for the starting RT spot-(Capers, Newhouse).

[Chico23231]

The more I read this post, the more Im starting to face the fact Flozell would probably be a good signing at this point. Heyer, Hicks, or a fourth round rookie at RT is going to get McNabb seriously injured. At this point, 1st pick in the draft absolutely has to be a LT....

[Gmanc711]

So what does everyone think at this point?

I'm hoping our line looks something like this:


Williams, Dockery, Rabach, Hicks/M. Williams, Hicks/F. Adams.

I'm still all for signing Flozel Adams for a year or two until we can draft some more linemen.

I'm not the best evaluator of talent on the offensive line, but what are the reports on Hicks and Mike Williams coming into this year? I know Williams was better suited for a gaurd play, but I could never really tell because we just looked so bad last year.

[CRedskinsRule]

Williams(Brown)/Hicks,
Dockery/Hicks,
Rabach/E Williams,
M. Williams/Rinehart
Bushrod(Williams)/Heyer

I think Williams allows us to get Bushrod OR Brown from the Saints. If we get Brown, we start him at LT, and Williams at RT. If we get Bushrod than Williams starts at LT and Bushrod starts at RT

[CRedskinsRule]

Our starting line could have 3 Williams on it at some point this year. Two more and we get a Royal Straight!

[doughtydoubter]

williams, dockery, rabach, hicks, heyer (where hes better)

i wouldnt mind signing flozel, or drafting another lineman in the 4th, but i think at this point with the drafting of "silverback" it allows us t focus on other areas of need...meaning john skelton of course

[MTK]

So I guess we can stop worrying about Kyle Shanahan's supreme confidence in our current OL group. The Williams pick shows they know what's up.

If Williams plays anywhere other than LT on our line then i'll view him as a colossal bust. you don't draft a RT in the top half of the 1st round, let alone 1st overall. While i understand his potential, i'm very concerned he'll become our version of Robert Gallery.
