Murilo Bustamante Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 You know, I can dream, maybe, just maybe, this line would work and could happen... LT Chris Samuels LG Tre Johnson C Larry Moore (he's not playing badly) RG Aaron Gibson RT Jon Jansen Talk about the Hogs!!!! Of course, this all depends on Gibson and Johnson actually being able to play...but imagine S. Davis behind that line!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thito_da_skins_fan Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 actually, i'd switch Johnson and Gibson... Johnson next to Jansen is gold... i think Stephen Davis would be in heaven, can you picture the holes? that is, if Johnson and Gibson play to their potential... (Gibson potential? is that an oxy-moron?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Gibson's ability to pass block would make him a better fit on the left side than the right, in that he comes from tackle stock. But, a dream line isn't one we can put together this year under any circumstances. Add Mo Collins in the offseason and get Jones back healthy, and suddenly you have a pretty deep and pretty good front. Add Collins and Taucher and no one in the league would have as good a line starting or in terms of depth. But any dream line would require that Chris Samuels play like Chris Samuels and not Andre Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murilo Bustamante Posted October 23, 2002 Author Share Posted October 23, 2002 If, and this is a big if, Gibson has the game he had in college, and if (and another big if) Tre is healthy again, that line would be murderers' row for Davis to run behind. Maybe not this year, but next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Smoot Fan Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Well if this is our dream line no wonder we can't block anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Smoot Fan Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Skins are too easy a target. Everyone in the NFL knows we suck, hell even Steve probably realized that by now so just lighten up and enjoy the ride. CHARLES ROGERS HERE WE COME!

NavyDave Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 What is this love for Aaron Gibson coming from? The guy could lose 100 lbs and still call Fat Joe "slim." But if he just stood still he would be a better pass blocker in the middle since it would take atleast 3 seconds to run around him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 AP-OT Gibson fails Redskins physical Team Trainers made 410 lb. Offensive Lineman Aaron Gibson undergo a somewhat unorthodox and highly controversial procedure for his physical yesterday at Redskins Park. They drew a number on upper toe section of his left sneaker, then asked the free agent lineman to identify the number. Gibson, who reportedly has not seen his own feet for several years (and who has spent a small fortune on short mirrors to re-affirm his believe in their existence), was unable to lift his left leg high enough to see the number 5 scrawled on his toe. Team trainers even tried to give him the benefit of the doubt by displaying picture of a fire hydrant in futile hopes that Gibson's reflexes to such imagery might get him to lift the leg a little higher, but it was to no avail. "If he's to fat to see his own feet, I guess he can't compete," Gibson's agent Lonnie Cochran conceded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murilo Bustamante Posted October 23, 2002 Author Share Posted October 23, 2002 LOL. O.k., o.k., everyone's a comedian. But Gibson was a first round pick and had a stellar college career as a *tackle*, so he's not too slow. And he's very, very strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Murilo, That he was a tackle in college is nice, but, it's not all that impressive in the scheme of things. He played at a school that runs all the damn time. He was basically a guard on the outside just plowing folks. Now, Gibson was a high draft pick because the tools he showed excited people. He is young, large, and some even say athletic. He's a sorry pro. Is he worth a look? Sure. He shouldn't be counted on as anything but a project. Any actual production he provides anyone would be considered an immense surprise almost as big as Gibson himself . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murilo Bustamante Posted October 23, 2002 Author Share Posted October 23, 2002 Art- Three comments... 1) you don't pick up great pros in October. 2) he's at least as good as Sulfsted, Brown, Tucker, et al 3) my impression is that he's never been cut for his play, but rather because he's been injured almost since he came into the league.

shawn Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 wait wait wait....I thought Aaron gibson was a fat slob in dallas but now you are putting him on the starting line of the skins and calling it a dreamline!!! that's funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montilar Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 But Gibson was a first round pick and had a stellar college career as a *tackle*, so he's not too slow. And he's very, very strong. Andre Johnson was a 1st rounder also. Want him back too? didn't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
