Loxley Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/10193430 Yay we got props for a change! "A team like the Redskins may be sitting in the middle of the pack in the NFC, but if injuries become a critical factor around the league, Washington has a very good chance of surviving. Quarterback Mark Brunell, running back Ladell Betts, wide receiver Antwaan Randle El, offensive tackle Jason Fabini, guard/center Ross Tucker, defensive end Renaldo Wynn, defensive tackle Joe Salave'a, cornerback Fred Smoot, safety Pierson Prioleau and linebacker Lemar Marshall make up an impressive group of nonstarters on the team's roster." This is the end of the article, he is discussing depth on teams after the starters basically, its a good article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Alright! Thanks for the bone, Pat! Nice to see us being actually recognizing for building depth. I'm all about depth and think it's vital if we're going to make a serious playoff push. So long as #17 stays on the track he's on, having solid backups at every position ensures we can be competitive in every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Day Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Nice to see us actually get mentioned for having some depth. Most of the NFC East rivals fans give the skins no credit for depth no matter how much you point it out. We have good backups almost straight across the roster. If we could manage to find one good DE this team could be stacked from top to bottom. Unlike last year we will be able to sustain an injury here and there.

Gregpeck99 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Gee I thought this thread was about having a "Rams" type offense with multiple, sure-handed, speedy, deep-receivers and a QB with a rocket gun. Pass deep to get down the field quickly is the way to go in today's NFL. Defenses are too loaded with extreme-atheletes nowadays to allow for a dink-n-dunk offense or a run-run-run to set up the pass scheme. Skins need to get with it ... the conservative Gibbs-type of Redskins offensive football no longer works ... go deep often I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnyderMustGo Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I find it amazing that someone could look at this razor thin roster and think there is any real depth here. We have no starting LG. We are trying to convert a RT to play there. Behind him, there's nothing starting caliber even if he is. If Wade can't do it, we are hosed six ways from Sunday. Our o-line depth isn't any good. Fabini? That guy couldn't even play on the Cowboys line and they are terrible. We have no #2 WR. Lloyd is terrible. El is a #3. Behind them, we have poor options. We have no #2 TE. We have Cooley and a 7th round rookie. We have 1 quality DE who is also the only 1 DE that is a pass-rushing threat: Carter. We have no depth at DE. We have 1 quality DT starter in Griffin. We are praying that Colston can hold down the job. The rest of our D-line depth is full of spares and has beens. If Springs stays, we are ok at CB, but if he goes, we are royally hosed (that's what razor thin means). Springs is a #1 CB. Neither Rogers or Smoot are. Macklin is spare. A CB chart of 1. Springs 2. Rogers 3. Smoot is a good CB chart. A CB Chart of 1. Smoot 2. Rogers 3. Macklin is terrible. ____ We do have depth at QB, which is nice. We have depth at RB with 2 quality starters and a decent #3. We have some depth at LB. We have some depth at Safety. There is that theory that the game is won in the trenches, and we have holes at starting positions there and little depth there. That's concerning. I really hope we don't go after Briggs now because LB is a strength. Address the lines. I am happy to hear that we are going to keep all of our draft picks next year because that is how we build depth. If we could find a solid possession WR as a #2 WR, a decent CB prospect, get some quality line players to develop in the draft, and hope that our picks this year pan out, then we could be a team with real solid depth and on the right track.

Bang Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Well, whattaya know,, a Joe Gibbs team has depth. In the overall picture of Gibbs mission to change everything about this team from the top down, there is a key piece. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnyderMustGo Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 If I could optimize the depth chart, I would do it like this and look to fill the holes: QB: Campbell, Brunell, Bramlet/Palmer RB: Portis, Betts, Rock FB: Sellers, _______ TE: Cooley, _______, Edwards, Ecker WR1: Moss, Lloyd WR2: ________, Lloyd WR3: El, ________ LT: Samuels, _____ LG: ______, Pucillo C: Rabach, Tucker RG: Thomas, _____ RT: Jansen, Wade DE: Carter, ________ DT: Griffin, Big Joe DT: Gloston, Montgomery DE: ______, Daniels SLB: Washington, Campbell, _____ MLB: Fletcher, Marshall, Blades WLB: Rocky, Marshall, Sartz CB1: Springs, ______, ______ CB2: Rogers, Smoot, Macklin Nickel CB: Smoot, Macklin, Jimoh FS: Taylor, PP SS: Landry, Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRAB Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 We may have some depth, like at QB and RB, but there are definately some positions that I have some concerns at. Even if all our starters on DL are healthy, I'm still concerned about the DL. If injuries start hitting there, then we're in big trouble, IMO. The secondary, for all we've done this offseason there, still could be in trouble if we have some injuries. I'm not talking about like last year (really, really bad), bad... but thin and not real great in coverage, and still in trouble, bad. We have some depth at LB, but that is if McIntosh is what we all hope he is. Frankly, we have no real proof that he's going to be a good NFL linebacker. If he can't start, then we're right back to a less than perfect situation. The OL worries me because of Wade. He may be okay, but we don't know that yet. If one of our tackles goes down, we might be in trouble. I really don't think that Fabini can play anymore. They really wanted him to work out in Dallas and he just couldn't do it. He may be shot. On paper he looks like a decent pickup as a tackle swing guy, but I don't think he can go anymore. I guess we have better depth than a lot of teams though. Of course a lot of my worries comes from our starters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please get your head out of the sand. Most teams in this league have our problems, and those teams that do have quality depth don't know how to win the close games either. Coaching will play a large part to our success this season until we can retool. Keep the faith and consider my latter comment as a whisper of hope for us this season.

SonnyJ Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 SnyderMustGo, As Angel said, this seems like the case with most, if not all NFL, teams. Since you are implying that the FO has done such a poor job with providing quality depth on the team, please provide us with a thorough roster analysis of the teams that have quality depth at every position. If you can't do that, then I guess you're just one of those mindless venters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
