Nine of them came in one game (would have been ten but one was reversed). The John Beck game against Buffalo did more to the line’s poor rep than the O-Line’s performance all year did. Blame Beck and a slow slow slow Grossman. The line wasn’t half bad.

Saying the Skins O-line is in “shambles” is a stretch. The starting 5 last year was above average, the depth behind them though was not. And that is where the problems arose, primarily in the Buffalo game. With young players like Hurt and Smith getting experience last year, and additions like LeRibus, the depth is much improved.

Besides, most would argue the Giants have the best D-line in the NFC East, and maybe the league. The Skins O-line did a great job against them last year to the point the Skins swept the SB Champion Giants and neither game was close. Not bad for an O-line in “shambles”.

Brown became expendable when undrafted rookies were playing better than him. We can’t continue hoping for this guy to get better. He is a great guy but this is ridiculous.

I don’t care how good RGIII is….the Redskins OL is in shambles and in a division with the most monstrous pass rushers in football that’s a recipe for disaster.

It’s not really clear where this perception keeps coming from. The fact is, missing three starters for most of the year in 2011, the Redskins led the league in sacks against NFC East teams, and were the lowest in the division in sacks allowed vs. other NFC East teams. This means that while everyone loves to talk about the monstrous JPP, DeMarcus Ware, Justin Tuck, Jason Babin, Cullen Jenkins, yada, yada, yada, and how terrible the Washington line is, DC gained more sacks and allowed fewer sacks lat year within the division than any of their NFC East rivals. This is not to say that DC has an amazing line or that JPP, Tuck, Ware, Babin, etc. are not monsters, just that the situation really isn’t as bad as everyone always seems to think.

Secondly, one has to consider that Washington performed this feat with Rex Grossman, one of the least mobile quarterbacks in the NFL, at the helm. Basically, one should “care how good RGIII is”, and the line is clearly not as “in shambles” as people seem to think.

He pretty much HAS to be ‘all that’ … because if he’s not then that franchise is in the dumper for years to come. They need a ‘Cam Newton’ year out of him … or it’s going to get very hot very quickly.

As a Skins fan it seems the right time to move on.

Polumbus looked ok last year, but I would rather see Willie Smith given a shot at RT first. He filled in good for Trent “Keep Token” Williams the last 4 games of last year. Especially for a rookie. Hurt could do even better on the right side.

The offense worked so much better with Tyler in place of Jammal. The run game improved and scoring improved.

However, when F. Davis and T. Williams (a.k.a. Cheech and Chong) were suspended at the end of the year, Willie Smith filled in at LT and faced the Giants, Cowboys, and Eagles down the stretch and did well. I know they like Polumbus, but I’m betting Willie could more than hold his own at RT against the less athletic rushers over there. Bares watching but I don’t think I’m worried…yet.
