themurf Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Ryan O'Halloran breaks down a position each day heading into the start of Washington Redskins training camp Sunday. Friday — Offensive line. Key statistic 604 — Combined regular-season starts by the projected starting offensive line. What happened last year What didn't happen? First week of training camp — left tackle Chris Samuels sustains a knee sprain. Mid-August — the Todd Wade Left Guard Experiment ends, and Pete Kendall is acquired. Week 1 — right tackle Jon Jansen lost for the season. Week 2 — right guard Randy Thomas basically lost for the season. Nine different players started a game on the line, and only Samuels and Kendall started every game. Still, the Redskins allowed only 29 sacks (sixth fewest). Who's back The entire starting lineup — Samuels, Kendall, Thomas, Jansen and center Casey Rabach. Three reserves — Wade, tackle Stephon Heyer and guard Jason Fabini — return, and Lorenzo Alexander figures to have a role if he doesn't stay full-time on defense. Justin Geisinger will work for a promotion from last year's spot on the practice squad. Click here for the full article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wonder though, and no statistic will prove it out, the effect on the run blocking with all those changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGordon_3 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I heard Vinny talking about Andrew Crummey from MD yesterday. They seem to like him, compared him to Heyer. So he could be added to conversation in terms of depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trez Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I hope that Crummey never sees the field. I don't see why the skins have a fascination with UMD players. NEWSFLASH: Maryland sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGordon_3 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Stephon Heyer did alright for us. The Ravens are counting on Gaither to replace Jonathan Ogden. So last year for the Terps wasn't so horrible........give Crummey a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
