Panthers O-line vs. Skins D-line

I know, I know, it's months and months away. But it's been raining for a week and I'm stuck inside with nothing to do, and this particular question has been rattling inside my brain for a week now:

Given the Redskins' increased volatility on defensive line, bolstered in particular with the offseason addition of pro-bowler Albert Haynesworth, how will our offensive line hold up? Will we be able to run on them? Will we be able to pass on them? We have a fantastic crew in the trenches, but can they hold their own against such a formidable front four?

It's a matchup I both dread and look forward to, paradoxically.

Otah will eat Orakpo for lunch and still have room to devour an other DE they have.

What I'm afraid of is blocking Haynesworth, it really depends who we have starting in the interior. He will demand a double team, so Kalil + one of the guards should do. If not, we'll be running outside which was a strength last year; especially to the right.

Jason Taylor... anyone think he'll be an issue?

My thoughts precisely... runs outside, to the right. but the problem is, if Haynesworth and company make runs up the middle impossible, it'd be easy for the Skins D to gameplan around it, bringing the pressure around the sides of the line to negate the outside run. Thats the way I could see that backfiring.

Jason Taylor was cut, there line is not scary. I believe ours is scarier than theirs if we have Julius next year.

redskins will get the pre-2007 version of haynesworth, ie...not all that scary unless you are laying on the ground after a play is over and your helmet is off.

he was playing for a huge contract in '07. in '08 he was playing to keep from getting tagged again. he got his big pay day. he got out of his tag. the incentive is gone.

not worried.

Wharton can handle Haynesworth, he is one of the best guards in the league. Especially with Kalil doubling. I'm sure Otah could eat Orkapoop for breakfast and still want brunch. Gross can handle whatever's thrown at him. And I'm confident Vincent or Robinson can hold their own.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      After last season, it was the same question. And the answer most people came to was "If he doesn't make the playoffs, he's gone." He made the playoffs. No matter how it was done, we made it to the playoffs. He's safe. He's going to have a chance to keep working this out, even if next season isn't a playoff one.  I think we'll do better next year than we did this season. There's something being built here.

      The NBA is a very fickle league. Kon is one of the hottest rookies in years and beyond just his play on the court he is a very steady competitor and that translates to the rest of the team. That has been a glaring absence with the culture of this franchise through the bulk of the LaMelo Ball years that's just being completely blunt and realistic. The enigma of LaMelo Ball is he is entering year 6 and still either red hot or ice cold. We need him to find that sweet spot. Logic dictates the Hornets will want to see this core again next year. But the clock is beyond ticking at this point. It's put up or shut up. Especially considering what the Thunder managed to do recently. I'm hopeful they can keep these wins rolling in and get some much needed playoff experience under their belts which will help substantially.

      I think as long as the Panthers are competitive with Canales they should keep him. Pepper needs to repair his/the teams image as a place prized free agents aren't hesitant to consider. Just dont do any crazy poo for a few years.
