I believe we should be auditioning people for next season, this season is a wash, but unlike in the past we actually have some things to look forward to.
the Oline needs a complete overhaul, but TW can save himself a spot by playing better. Monty is decent but should be a backup, our guards should be backups and polumbus ditto, the last thing I want is for people to say " well the offence was pretty solid with the line we had so it shouldnt be a priority" thats garbage, if we upgrade this line, we will have a dominant offence and we havent had that in decades.
We need a RT, C, LG and RG, upgrades at those spots are required and if we do it, we will be on the way to building a dominating offence that will win games for us. we dont need superstars at every spot, but we need guys who are not physically overmatched all the time, you can get away with 1 perhaps 2 overachievers on an oline but not an entire line. if we have an opportunity to get a great LT we should do it, and move TW to RT where I believe he would be an all pro.
Rg3 has worked miracles with limited help from his Oline, Morris has looked great behind a line that is frankly atrocious, so we need to see what they can do with some real protection and run blocking.
I would like us to find a solid TE as well, David should be gone, hes a joke, and this last injury is good for us because I dont want to tie up millions on an unreliable pothead. the new NFL is all about the TE.
outlook?
actually pretty good, we are finally young at the skill spots, with a franchise QB and a solid back up, we have soem decent depth receivers, and hopefully one steps up, if not then we just look for a number one in FA or the draft. we are set at RB with helu coming back next year and Morris stepping up as a rookie, so we are young and have some depth there too. really a great young TE and decent Oline are the only things missing and the Oline needs to be a priority for this team as we have everything invested in RG3 and keeping him hit as little as possible should be our priority.
defence
I dont want to hear about injuries, every teams deals with them, our problem isnt injuries its scheme, lack of preparation and terrible coaching.
Dline- we have a lot of options here and ca actually go in several directions, we have depth at DT but no real space eater, all our guys would be movement guys, we have no depth at DE but we have some guys who can play DE in spurts or Dt in spurts and would be great rotation guys at either spot, we could move kerrigan and rak to de and get insane passrush but we would be giving up too much size and strength t move both at once. however we could move rak to de and leave kerrigan at LB if we went to more 40 looks. either way Dline is no longer the huge hole we made it when we went to the 3-4. all we really lack is a huge space eating DT and an End who can rush the QB. depends on which way we go which hole is more important to fill. but either war, resources still needed.
Linebacker- we are old here because London is the key and he is almost done. Riley has looked up and down and Lorenzo is versatile and good when used right, but is very limited in what he should be used for as a lb. Rak is one dimensional and isnt going to change, he needs to be used as a rusher or he is useless. Kerrigan is a beast and is only getting better. this unit will need some resources dedicated to it but there are bright spots. Kerrigan is the key, Riley is young and still developing and lornezo just finds ways to contribute when used right.
DB- this is a huge need area, we need a number one corner, we have for years. we need a pair of safeties although gomes has looked pretty solid at times, and might get better. but on defence aside from a nose tackle, CB is our biggest need area. aside from gomes, we really dont have any young up and comers who will improve either. this unit needs a lot of resources put into it. you can cover a weak secondary by using pressure , but you still gotta cover someone.
Bottom line
we have hope, we have youth in several spots, we look somewhat competent on offence, we have a rookie QB who looks like a vet and is making plays, he was putting us in position to win against the giants when moss fumbled it away. so we no longer have no hope on offence we seem to always have a punchers chance with rg3 behind center.
defence, we need a DC who has a brain, and who isnt scared to play to win, shanny will have to admit a mistake which he is loathe to do but he needs to step up and understand that we dont care, we just want to win games. the rest of this season will be interesting, will we try some risky stuff to get some wins, or will we go conservative and watch the O try to win games for us in shootouts?

The defense needs all the help they can get. There are only so many draft picks to work with. I can certainly agree they need to draft an OT. Overhaul the Oline?
