My question is, if we can make that assessment, why can't those pea brains that get paid all of the big bucks see the same thing? We go out and corners, safetys, and LB(s) instead of putting pressure on the QB with adequate lineman. Hell, we drafted a DE and are trying to move him to LB...hellloooo. We need to put pressure on the QB. Opposing teams have too much time and we aren't getting sacks/turnovers to help win the game. I think that they draft more DB(s) so that when the other guys get tired of chasing receivers for 6-8 seconds, they can give them a break. lol I still luv them though, just hate their football mentality or the lack thereof.

It advocates what I've been saying for the last 2 years. I don't care what QB you get, if the line doesn't block then the QB fails and eventually the running game does too because the team puts 8 in the box. It doesn't matter what receivers we get, it all goes back to the O line. Skins for life! Thank You for this information. It advocates what I’ve been saying for the last 2 years.

At the beginning of the season when we were winning games, there was no problem with the reads of his plays. He was able to make great reads because the offensive line was playing well. Games are always won and lost in the trenches. That is a fact that has been here in Washington since the 80s. The Hogs were the reason that we won super bowls. As great as Riggins was, without the offensive line blocking for him, he would have been a star back, but probably not a HOF back. The skins won super bowls with three different QBs. Why is that? The offensive line. When they played well it didn't matter if it was Joe Theismann, Jay Schroeder, Doug Williams, or Mark Rypien most of the players on the offensive line remained in tact for the majority of Gibbs years here in Washington and were responsible for keeping those guys upright and successful. The front office of this team for years has decided to go on the cheap for lineman in order to sell jerseys and bring in skill players instead of developing an offensive line. The reason that the Eagles have been so successful for so many years is because they continually draft OL and DL. The reason that the Redskins haven't been as successful for the last 20 years is because they have ignored their lines and pick up players usually past their primes. Until that way of thinking changes, we Redskins fans are going to suffer. Jason will probably go somewhere else and then succeed because he will probably go to team that will value offensive line protection. Tell Fantasy football owner Dan Snyder to start investing in protection of our QBs instead of having man crushes on QBs that don't play on your team. Why is it that he couldn’t read defenses?

And quite frankly, that's not really the kind of QB that the Redskins need considering the people picking the talent around him. The team could use a QB who can put the team on his back from time to time and win one with his arm. Something we have never seen JC do without everything else falling into place around him.

He too had a new offense to learn. The dropped balls are a concern, but sometimes they count those when the balls hit your back and you have gone off route because the ball has be thrown low, behind you, or early. The intangible factor is leadership and confidence in owning the huddle. Also left out is completion beyond 15 yards where Campbell is horrific. Todd Collins owned Campbell on that one. Lets just say that there are guys who get it done regardless because they have the leadership and gamemanship capabilities to handle situations. Campbell isn't one of them. There are those people who always do everything right, but never do the right things. I’d like to find out where Matt Ryan ranked on this caliber. He too had a new offense to learn.

JC was a sight to behold his last year at AuburThe n. He certainly had the zip that Zorn is now looking for. Moreover, he appeared to be fearless. The entire process reminds me of what happended to Patrick Ramsey with a mediocre offensive line. His zip and fearlessness got gone in a hurry. It's a shame what Snyder's myopia has done to a once majestic group of men. Impressive article. JC was a sight to behold his last year at AuburThe n.
