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.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
