12th man monsta Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I think it has got to be Chris Samuels. He is essentially the vet. on the O-line and offense as a whole without Jansen. He has been a stable force for years on our line and protects Campbell's blind side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoth Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 On any team with a good quarterback, he is the most indispensible player. No other player handles the ball more. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Sean Taylor without a doubt. Our defense is nothing without him, leaving everything in front of the LBs/Secondary and swarm to the ball to force minimal gains. Without ST teams are able (and willing) to go deep, but with him even the Lions' high powered passing attack is scared to challenge Sean Taylor deep. This is exactly why I picked ST as well. He is the difference between giving up big pass plays and not. He pretty much shuts down the entire secondary. I'm not sure that there is any other safety currently in the game that can make that claim (maybe Ed Reed but people still go deep on him and he only has 1 more INT than Taylor). Now that he can play his true role as a FS we are seeing the freakish athleticism GW has talked about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin11 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 i said Springs. When he didnt play last year, we sucked. We need either him or Smoot to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceviker Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 ^^ I really think we're all crazy not to put Sean Taylor. He's literally changing the entire offense of our opposing teams single handedly. THEY CAN NOT GO DEEP ON US. EXACTLY. By far, the most important player on our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Jason Campbell, no question. As good as ST is this year, if he were to go out, I would feel okay about Preilaou (or however the hell you spell it :laugh: ) and Landry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchdown Redskins Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 My argument for those picking JC, CP, or any other skill position, is this: those players are only as good as their O-line, and our O-line is only as good as Samuels. JC would not have the time to throw the ball, CP would not have big lanes to run through, and Moss would not have as much time to get open, if it weren't for our O-line. Yes, Heyer stepped up, but that was against vanilla defenses in the preseason. Also, he didn't really step up that much considering we had Cooley helping him out for many of the plays. Second, I would say Cornelius Griffin, because he shuts down the run whenever he's in the game. Third would be Sean Taylor. This guy has been so incredibly good this year, it's amazing. No one has gone deep, and he has made many, many statements with huge hits and INTs. Not only that, but I give him the utmost respect because he has won us so many games since he's been with us.

Stadium-Armory Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Lose Samuels, and about 60 minutes later, you're going to lose Campbell anyway. You're point's well taken. Gibbs part1 wasn't predicated on having a franchise quarterback at all. Unlike, say, the present day Colts (imagine them without Manning). And we won championships. Now, some may say that the game's changed. And to be sucessfull, you need that franchise guy under center. But I'm not so sure about that. Maybe some things will always be consistent in football no matter the era - win up front and everything else will follow. So maybe you're right. Maybe JC's predicated on Samuels.

skinznsoxrox Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I said Portis. Sure he has Betts as a very solid back up but he is a dynamic player that changes how opposing defenses have to prepare for us. Honestly, how can you argue that 06 was a complete disaster because he wasn't in there and forced Brunell to throw the ball way too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 no question...campbell. He is the team MVP. If we lose him, we have no chance at playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatmeworry Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I think w/o question it's Campbell. We are an entirely different team with him in vs Brunell (Whispered..I don't like to say the name too loudly). But I also have to give Honorable mention to Mike Sellers. If you asked the question which player epitomizes Redskins football most he's an obvious choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo-toni Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Griffin. We're 1-7 I believe when he's out injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooka Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Samuels. We lose him, and we have 2 backup Tackles, a backup Guard, a FA Guard all starting. We could have JC, Brunell, Collins, it wouldn't matter, they'd all be sitting ducks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fansince62 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 This team sinks or swims based on Jason Campbell's performance. Pass blocking allowing...if he keeps developing the passing game (i.e., the running game is already a potent threat).....this offense can go a long ways...smurfs and all!

docsandy Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Jason Campbell.. for intangibles. The team is accepting him as a leader.. and they are building confidence. It's called chemistry.. and he is creating it with his poise and maturing in the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
