Wonderful application of the law of averages. I was pondering this to myself recently. The 5 starting Redskin lineman all started 16 games except Jansen who started 15. This was very, very fortunate. Almost certainly next year injuries to the offensive line are going to be a factor.

This means we shouldn't be spending massive amounts on a OG when the important thing is to get considerable depth around the entire line.
