Panic Mode or Nah? (Poll)

[Boone]

How worried are you about the state of our OL?

 

[RedWolf]

We are Redskins fans. We have been abused for 30 years of course we're worried and paranoid!!!

 

[Boone]

I have a long history of talking myself out of worries. I have done it so many times - given the choice of being optimistic or bracing for the worst, I've almost always doubled down on optimism. I think I've had that beaten out of me. I'm definitely worried - not panicked, because sometimes other aspects of a team can compensate for glaring weaknesses. This year, I hope an improved defense can help mask protection issues on offense. But I am worried, especially since we are losing guys for the season and we haven't even had a real game yet.

 

[McD5]

With the current line.....I would say very worried. I don't see the QB staying healthy.

If any of them injured.....as they often do.....then I would say full on panic mode is correct.

 

[NickyJ]

Seeing Nick Martin at center several years ago has me terrified of what happens if Allegreti can't get healthy or outright sucks. The offense is hamstrung if the center is already getting shoved in the QB's face as soon as he play starts.

 

[Blaze Thunderball]

The Bengals made a super bowl with a terrible o-line, so anything is possible. Undoubtedly they are the exception, not the rule.

I feel this team will do as Jayden does. If he stays healthy they can do good, if not great, things. But the o-line has a huge role to play in that, on multiple levels.

A waiver wire pickup is a cast off. Not exactly feeling confident against that Philadelphia front. But I did not vote full on panic, but it's a real problem.

Noah Brown was a success (for half a season).

I am torn. Panic woukd require worry about them nit meeting expwctations. After the last 30 plus years, i have low expectations. I have high hopes but they are tempered by recent years.

I am definitely not paniced, abd definitwly nit in the "we're fine camp"

I went with a middle road vote, but i'm not sure it fits either.

 

[0rder 0f 0ut]

Disappointed and concerned. I get pretty focused on OL. Wanted Linderbaum. Wasn't opposed to OL and #7 as well. I want an elite QB behind an elite OL. If the run game is trash it gets Jayden killed too.

 

[Commander PK]

Worried, not panicked yet, but worried. Very worried. A bad showing in Philadelphia will push me into panic very quickly.

 

[NoCalSkins]

I think I am more worried about the implications of how much worse a poor O-line can make things in a season I was already expecting to a challenging season to begin with even with a fully healthy roster.

 

[burgold]

I’m going to go for a”Nah,” but it is pacing and fretting time.

 

[Primus Porcus]

I put 'Somewhat Worried' but to be fair, I can't remember the last time I was totally confident in our Offensive Line (well we all know the answer but you get the point), so I kind of live in a constant DEFCON 3 level of concern regarding the O-line.

That said, i guess i could have selected option 3 regarding what wee do around the waiver wire? I could see some depth adds, but I don't know that a player we should be confident enough to be a starter is just going to be cut by another team....

 

[Boone]

I know how trade-averse we are (both as a Front office and fanbase) and in general I like holding onto draft picks. But we do have a player or two at positions of strength who would have trade value. And I would trade for one of Houston's centers in a heartbeat if the alternative is trying to go a season with Good-Jones under center. Very disappointing we didn't anticipate something like this and prepare for it.

 

[HOF44]

Somebody in the front office better be panicking about now. Last year an obvious hole at receiver left unaddressed sank the season. This year an obvious hole at center unaddressed seems poised to sink this season. Peters is right out of Hollywood casting for a GM but damn he leaves some glaring issues unaddressed.

 

[NickyJ]

Half the beat reporters were willing to carry water for the team when our WR group was McLauren, a rookie, and some other dudes. All of them appear to be saying that the O-Line is flat out bad against the Ravens right now.

I know it's only preseason, but damn. Changed my vote to panic.

This is where my head is. Probably I am too realistic to be truly panicked overall but I put panic because the OL is in a ridiculous state.

I don’t see the light because for me, Stapleton had a high potential to not work out paired with Blough. There is too much “hope” as a strategy in this team. We should be confident in more than the QB and a couple of WRs. I mean, truly confident.

After the Tunsil injury, hearing the OL play, we already knew many other groups were questionable.

5 can’t run us to the playoffs. He can’t carry what I see to the playoffs. That is my read.

 

[RedWolf]

Yeah I don't know what to say but they better get some goddamn OL help...pickings are thin. I'm also sure they're waiting and watching the waiver wire

 

[Conn]

It’s time.
