ASHBURN, Va. — The left side of the Redskins' offensive line had a different look during the final few snaps of Monday's practice, a sign the Todd Wade experiment might be in danger.

I guess you can read some sort of kudos to Dockery if they're trying to replace him and failing.

Who? Isn't that the guy who used to play for the Rams?

This might as well be a punchline.

When asked what to do in order to improve the offensive line...

"I'm going to play (Mike) Pucillo probably at left guard," Bugel said, "and give us a chance to look at him."

In an effort to increase competition on the Redskins' O-Line, the availability of veteran Jerry Ostroski is being investigated.

Wow, they are in dire straits. Pucillo is the offensive equivalent of Tim Anderson.

But apparently our D is going to suck anyway b'cse he isn't a veteran leader on our team - nevermind that we replaced a slow, aging LB with a fast, hard hitting one...

Fletch got his with the first team against first team, Poz with the 2nd and 3rd. Lets not over exaggerate things.

It would seem only "Bill fans" have an issue with Fletch, everyone else seems to think he still can play. Why is it the fans here always seem to think when a player leaves he was replaced with someone better? It isn't always the case. While I think Posluszny will be a very good NFL LB, I happen to think he's a couple of years from being what Fletch is now.

Actually, I don't think that most Bills fans have any "problem" with London Fletcher-Baker, but after you've heard every media talking head from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon predict for the last four or five months that the Bills' D is going to "suck so bad" because the Bills let Fetcher-Baker walk, people get defensive about it. Besides, nobody said LFB can't play. He's just not suited to the cover2!

I was just about to say the exact same thing. LFB is not a fit for a cover 2 defense. Period. That's why those whining about losing him need to STFU - b'cse they clearly don't understand much at all!!!

WRONG. We still think he can play. He just can't dominate.

Not fit for what Dick wants in a lb'er. One that can attack the backfield which Poz did when he scaked the qb.

For your sake , your OL better hold. Green has a target sign on his jersey. This time it won't be a 5'9" lb going full speed for a sack.

He sure looked dominant in his first pre-season game. As for not fitting the cover 2 he was in the top five MLB's last year, I'd say he fit very well. You have to understand what a LB does has a lot to do with what a Dline does, if the line stuglggles so does the LB, yet he still managed to have one of the best season at his position last year. Go find a LB besides maybe Urlacher and Brooks that's plays in the cover 2 and is a tremendous success. It's a very tough system, one the Bills should move away from IMO.

What does this have to do with me?
