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.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
