GIBBS LIVES Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Since 1993, Philly has spent 21 picks in the first three rounds (Day 1 picks) on OL or DL. Since 1993 Washington has spent 7. Gibbs clings to old ways from the first time he coached here. But the philosophy that he isn't clinging to is that we had dominante D-line players like Dave Butz, Chales Mann, Dexter Manley, Jumpy Gathers. This organization needs to getting back to putting the lines first and not so much emphasis on the "sexy" positions of the team. We have to go back to using the draft the way it's suppose to be used. And stop giving draft picks away like candy at Holloween! Until these things happen, we all (as skins fans) are wasting our time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba9497 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 and yet we have the better OL Go figure and their DL improved when they added FA's and added a player that they traded for.... again Go figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiggoReincarnated Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Exactly. Our OL is better than Phillys When our OL brings its A game, it is better then Phillys. But Phillys OL has been the most consistent in the division thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#44XTREMEPOWER Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Our O-line needs to prove that by controling the line of scrimage we haven't done that consistantly 3 offenses in 3 years will do that to you. we need to mix up our run game with 2 backs speed then power and wear down one side don't run one then another pound that football wear them out and when the think oh run go deep to the new posie.Use betts then portis then Sellers. Mix the run game up keep your feature back fresh and spread the ball that way 3-4 yards screen to Sellers cooley out front blocking or Randy out front blocking for SellersThat would be a thunder and lightning pair.

You are wrong, having fans like you is the MAIN reason we can't get it done. Pesimistic fans are horrible. Cheer on your team.

We max protect alot as well to give our OL help. I'm not sure that Philly does this consistently in their WCO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to have the most penalized OL in the league, if not its close and whats sad is they have started every game. No shuffling going on here like in most of the league.

Loyal2Washington Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 This organization needs to getting back to putting the lines first and not so much emphasis on the "sexy" positions of the team. So to get your argument right we need to draft more linemen. Did you consider that 3/5 of our O-Line are Redskin draft picks? Did you also consider that are top O-Line backup is also a draft pick, in Jim Molinaro? Did you consider the fact we drafted 2 DT's is this years draft that are receiving major playing time? i don't think you did or you would have realized that the team has drafted very well when it comes to linemen. I didn't know ST was a sexy pick, you're right though we would be much better off without him. Before you go into the we should have drafted Merriman or Ware over Rogers argument don't forget they are LBer's not linemen. Please tell me which NFL stud linemen we passed over by picking Campbell? No offense but you're the type that would draft 7 Linemen then complian about not picking the best avalible player at a position of need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIBBS LIVES Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 Speak for yourself. As a Skins fan, I am proud to cheer on my team week after week, win or lose.That's the definition of being a fan. The word "fan" comes from the term fanatic. I love the skins too. But the FO has proven over the last 5-6 years that they don't know what there doing and they don't build a winning organazation. Ignoring the draft and trying to do 70% percent of the team thru free agency hasn't worked and isn't going to work. It isn't designed to work that way. Good scouting, drafting is the way to build a consistant contender. Contender meaning a team that can win 8-10 games every year. A team that "can" win. A team that is in the running. You can cheer as much as you want. As long as buisness is done the way it is in the FO, we won't see a SB anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
