Tommy-the-Greek Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 For the first time since the 91 team. I believe we have the best line in our division. Not only to we have the best line, it isn't even close. The only thing that makes me happier then that is to know they will ALL be together for atleast the next 3 years.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleSteve Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 On paper, yes. Prove it on the field in September. Do not underestimate the need for o-line cohesiveness. That only comes with time. Also, the Skins need an upgrade at tight end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Even Madder Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 Blazer is right. The skins have looked good on paper in June for years. Prove it on the field. The skins arent the best at anything yet. They should be approaching this season like every other team that sucked last year (yes 7-9 sucks). They should have a chip on their shoulders and should be out to prove the world wrong.

@DCGoldPants Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 They need to play together before we call them anything. Before you know it, we'll be told by the franchise "But we've had the best record over the past 3 years.....oh yeah....we need your season ticket payments in full tomorrow".

They already do that Bufford One thing about looking the 'best on paper'... no one would say that the Skins O-line looked the best on paper or anywhere else the past few years. This is the first time that our overall talent at the guard spot can even come close to something superior to the word "servicable"... There is MUCH more depth than we've ever had. Of course, no one can argue that they must prove it. But nor can anyone say that there isn't excellent reasons to be excited about the O-line either :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJWatson3 Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 well the Eagles are the only team that could come close to our talent on the OL, but I think we are better. i don't count on Dockery now either, but he could be a nice surprise and we could move Fiore to C... nasty. and we don't need help at the TE. the position is not utilized much in this offense, so we can keep ZFlem and Royal (whom we don't know how good he can be in the pro's...) and spend our money where it is more sorely needed. that is how we approached it this off-season and I don't think the FO has any intentions of changing that... on robert royal: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/nfl/2002draft/tes/robertroyal.htm http://redskins.theinsiders.com/2/45401.html (one of the first two links ripped the other off...) http://sports.espn.go.com/nfldraft/tracker/player?id=4295 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SkinsHokie Fan Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Cohesivness and playing together is the key. If nobody is injured and this oline returns as is next year I will say "we have the best oline in the division" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins19 Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 The o-line will probably have some growing pains this year until they get used to each other. We could probably claim best o-line in the division at the end of the season but we need to wait until they are used to playing together before we call them the best in the east.

Can any other team in our division say they have the talent or the contracts locked up on that talent for the next 3 years? No, I didn't think so. I just see the writing on the wall and I am very happy to be reading it. It's about freakin time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins26 Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 I think they need to gel first. And stay healthy. We definitly have the most talented o line in the NFC East, but we'll wait to see about the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkyalligator Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Without a doubt we will have the best O-Line on paper in the NFC East, I have no fears about them learning to gel together so we will have the best O-Line!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkboy22 Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 not sure yet, however I hope it is the second coming of the HOGS...I dont want to get to excited, but if they turn out to be a large portion of the hogs we are going to be in good shape.

Lachey79 Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 The eagles have a great o-line as well, last year tra thomas, jermane mayberry, and jon runyon all went to the probowl. Then john welbourn and there center hank fraley are pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Trevor Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 I think perhaps next year or even by the end of this season we'll be able to say we have the best line in the NFC east. This year however it will take time for the line to come together, particularly early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
