corrupt3d Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Personally, I'm actually kinda worried about the SLB spot but it's a push when it comes to RT. Yeah, I understand Wilson and Osackpo are taking time there, but I wouldn't mind re-signing Marcus Washington - at least he'd give us 6 healthy games. So, what do you think ES?

Travdaskin Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 The whole O-Line needs a hell of a makeover IMO, NO MORE DEFENSE... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I went with RT, alllll the way. No question for me. We've got some young quality guys at SLB that might work out alright. But we've tried everyone we have at RT, and still no answer. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 with out a doubt, we are in serious need of a starting RT. we are going to be in a world of hurt this season if we can't fill that position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpskins10 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Blades at SLB > Jansen/Heyer/Williams at RT in my opinion. Blades has some upside. Jansen is on the downside, Williams is a former bust looking to resurrect his career, and Heyer just doesn't seem like he's got the tools to be more than a good backup.

S.TaylorMade Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 i'm more concerned with right tackle... i'm more concerned with right guard than the SLB... we have a good def. line which should make whoever plays SLB look a lot better... i'm concerned with randy thomas' durability and endurance through a full season...

Travdaskin Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Blades is a younger version of the hurt MW IMO, he is kinda slow in coverage, neither position is MUCH better than the other... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backpack3r Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Offense is why we didnt win a lot of games last year, not defense. Obviously RT is a bigger concern, teh defense can hold its own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickyshooZ Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Tackle all the way. Offensive line needs the most help. Jansen is an above average run blocker, but damn, he struggles so much against the pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downbeat87 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 i picked RT, but i think the redskins arent stupid about the OL situation. if we can see it, they can feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeTK Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 RT... we have to keep in mind it was mostly our offense & STs that held us back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanyt Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 With our 2nd pick I was convinced we were going RT all the way!!! With all these theories on collecting Depth maybe with that #2 we shoulda went RB Green (Iowa) before the Jets got'em... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 A good defense can mask a marginal liability at SSLB within a scheme. If your RT sucks at run blocking *cough* Heyer *cough* or pass blocking, there isn't a functional way to mask it and compensate without already damaging and altering an offense learning a new system.

Hunter_R Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I'm more uneasy about DE more than either of those spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hieverybody Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Definitely RT. I'm worried about Samuels too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCDiesel44 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 RT for sure, but with Heyer, Jansen, and Williams competing for the starting job, they will be pushing each other pretty hard which will make all of them better. With all the talent on our defense, Blades or whoever ends up starting should do fine. Apparently our young O-linemen are having a good mini-camp so far which is exactly what we need in case an injury occurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickyshooZ Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I wouldn't expect Williams to be much of a factor in the competition for RT. Hasn't he been out of football for a few years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daskns4life7620 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 There hasn't been much talk about it, but we did invite Jeremy Bridges to our camp. He's got pretty good age (29) and has been a decent right tackle, but didn't get signed due to off the field issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintrain Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I'm more uneasy about DE more than either of those spots. Andre Carter? Brian Orapko? They give you more concern than Heyer, Jansen, Williams, Blades, Fincher, Wilson? Odd. I'm not really uneasy about either one on May 2nd since we can still address both spots. Ask this again in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaBeachRedskin Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I'm more uneasy about DE more than either of those spots. I agree to a point. I think that LE could be a major concern for us, but the unstable nature of the RT spot is our biggest worry on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Tackle easily. You can go out and get a half azz SLB and find ways to get by. You put a half azz tackle out there and the pass and run game goes to shreads instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoVaSkins21 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 RT. Without question. If something happens to Heyer, they are in SERIOUS trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box76 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 RG as Randy Thomas cant seem to finish a season healthy. I see boatloads of tackles but what about the guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
