Apology? No way. I should be thanking you for reading, taking the time to comment and making me flesh out my often cryptic statements.

So thank you. :)

Alright. I see where you are coming from. Put that way, I don't think we have real #2 reserve T on this team either.

Fabini was a T but at this point in his career makes a better G (I think). Rinehart was drafted with the idea of making him a G even though he was a T in college and from his preseason performance I can see why. Same goes for Geisinger who has not played T since college either.

We have better options than Geisinger if they are active but that is not saying much which is what you meant.

My apologies...I seem really good at obfuscating your point these days and that is not my intention.

The part I'm questionning is that after Samuels and Jansen, the Redskins had only one guy on the roster even marginally prepared to play tackle in Heyer. And Stephon--an undrafted FA with mixed success in his limited time--is far from a sure thing.

If you're a supposed playoff contender heading into a defining December game, and the #2 reserve OT on your team is Justin Geisinger--a 2005 6th-round draft pick C/G, already on his third team and who has never started an NFL game--it just seems to me that somewhere along the way something went seriously wrong.

It just underscores for me how empty the Big Ugly cupboard really is.

While I whole heartedly agree that the Skins have ignored the line of scrimmage too long, I can't get to worked up over this one case. How many teams carry 2 backup guys on the gameday roster that OT position ready?

I am guessing most teams to something similar to what the Skins did in Baltimore and carry 2 guys in backup roles on the active roster, one for the T positions and one for the interior positions. I need to research this and see what is what I guess.

Granted, I would have moved Heyer to the left side when Samuels came out and put Geisinger in the RT position so at least Jason had a natural T on his blind side.
