SIXX99 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Where does the Redskins' offensive line rank among the other three teams in the NFC East? I personally don't think that we did enough during the draft to address the offensive line and that Campbell's production will once again be hindered by that. Whats your opinion?

airs0ft3r Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 We are the worst. Teams with a worse O-line are Pittsburgh, Detroit, Oakland, St. Louis, and maybe the Patriots. I'm sure there are more but I'm just not positive overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morneblade Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I think our O-line is either 3rd or 4th in the NFCE. I think Dallas has a very overated Line and we might have a better one, but Philly and NY have exceptional lines, with NY being slightly better IMO.

ttr77 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 The OL was the main culprit of the team's demise last season...replacing Kendall with Dockery isn't much of an upgrade, and the depth players are almost all unknowns. The injury prone players from last year are even older, and the RT position isn't stabilized. How can this unit be considered anything but the worst in the NFC East at this point?

Old Bay Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 The Giants have been abnormally healthy on their O-line the last two years. I suppose being younger helps in that regard. But that has helped their consistency. They're the best, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero21 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 We rank last. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMONEY Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Unless the Skins O-line does the unthinkable this year, the Skins O-line has to be ranked last in the NFC East. I honestly believe that if the Skins O-line was capable, this team could contend for a title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still don't have anybody to block Haynesworth. Giants - 4th and 2 the only line I would call a running play to convert. SKINS - Dockery huge upgrade at LG RT still a ? Philly - Got better with Peters at LT but no ans at RT Dallas - Big Fatties slow with no range of motion.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dellman Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 This is an interesting question because how do you determine it? There are a lot of finite answers on this thread with no qualifications except well the Eagles have this guy or the Giants have young players, etc. Is it the line which gives up the least sacks? If so that will depend upon the QB's release time, the running game, as well as the play calling and situations. Is this to be determined by yardage in the ground game? If so, this will be determined by attempts, and who is running the rock. Also, expect the loss of Plaxico to have a tremendous negative effect on the Giants ground game as well as passing game. And then Westbrooks injury could spell devastating results for the Eagles running game despite new offensive line additions. And then there are injuries. Having the best offensive line on July 1st, is much different than having the best offensive line November 1st. Regardless of which offensive line you like, I believe the Redskins will be considered to have an excellent offensive line about and around December. With all the young guys they are developing, the experience gained over the season is bound to help them improve and allow the Redskins to give more rest to guys like Chris Samuels and Randy Thomas. Oviously, having Jon Jansen "outta here" is a tremendous improvement immediately. And if Mike Williams becomes half-a-man( right now he is TWO men), then the sky is the limit for the Redskins line improvment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truskin4life Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 What a bunch of homers. We have by far the worst O-line in the division. I think if we had the 0-line that the other teams in our division have, we would be one of the most dominant teams in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enter Apotheosis Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 The Giants are clearly the best with the Eagles solidly in second. The Skins and Cowboys are vying for third with neither line really standing out right now. Only if there is someone better to replace him. Last year, there wasn't. Last year Heyer won the starting job. Sure, he's not as good as a run blocker but he was much better in pass protection than Jansen. Worst case scenario our RT situation is a wash over last year.

Worst case scenario our RT situation is a wash over last year. I could be mistaken...but wasn't Heyer healthy later in the season last year and couldn't reclaim his starting spot? If so, assuming he will suddenly be better, or even a wash, is a stretch at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsCrushCowboys Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 My warped sense of Redskin fandom wants to say otherwise, but until they prove something they are last and a long way from the front of the pack..hopefully this will change this year.

Fifty Gut Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 New York's is best overall, no doubt there. most of them are still in their 20s and have played an insane amount of consecutive (healthy) games together. such luck in the air up north any given game, Philly's and Dallas' lines are no better than ours. Philly might surpass Dallas and us; that remains to be seen. I don't do the on paper thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, assuming he will suddenly be better, or even a wash, is a stretch at this point. I don't really know if it's fair to say that Heyer failed to reclaim his starting spot. He started in 8 games last season, 3 at RT in the beggining of the season and 5 at LT mostly towards the end of the season. The only game he really played during the middle of the season was that Detroit game where he had to fill in for Samuels and it was pretty clear from what I remember that he was not close to 100%.

Chump Bailey Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 1.Eagles 2.Giants 3.Cowboys 4.Redskins I hate placing them in such order, but it's an honest opinion as of right now. I really think that is what ultimately will bite us in butt before this season is done. Heyer, Bridges may play better than I expect. Chris hopefully can last the season. Rabach's durable but we need a stouter body there ASAP. Thomas I hope will be healthy and play like he's capable, but this likely is his last season. Hopefully the young guys from Maryland will show something and Rinehart too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are more but I'm just not positive overall. Patriots? Patriots have a really good line. Only problem for them is that their left guard, right guard, and right tackle are all free agents after this season.Our line is definitely the worst. With age and former injury history adding up, it's definitely going to be interesting to see how they perform over the course of this season.
