    Their first two games are against cupcakes. I wouldn't rush him back to play against the Racist Logos and the Jags. A lot of this team's long term success is dependent on Tackle play. (Says Captain Obvious, I know)

    That's troublesome news. I don't care who we're playing.

    Not to rush him back at all , but there are no cupcakes on the schedule for this team imo .

    Lose a game we "should" win , that back end of the schedule becomes even more daunting .

    The Foreskins can play some decent D, it's still the NFL - any given Sunday and all that...and the Jags are better on D, that game may be tough (like last year). Not saying I'm worried, because I'm not, and I wouldn't be bothered one bit if Albert sat those games.

    Keep your fat azz on the bench Albert. Come back after the bye.

    Running back depth and the quick pass game will be tested early on. If the defense is playing to their potential there shouldn't be any major issues but at this point it's probably safe to say Albert won't be around for week 1.

    Since the 3rd preseason game is the dress rehearsal game, the #Redskins will be keeping RGIII out to accurately simulate the upcoming season

    Upon further review by neuropsychologists, RGIII to be held out from gameplay this week & rested 1 to 2 weeks before returning to action.

    Well away from here
    If we had a solid left guard, this issue could/possibly have been mitigated to some degree. There is a hell of a lot of uncertainty along the line for this not to be troubling. It would be nice if he could have 15-20 reps in the preseason, hut the reality is even when he comes back he may need to be spelled at certain times of the game.

    There are no cupcakes in the NFL.

    We have to explore a trade, theres no other solution but to do it. Start making calls and see what kind of guard/tackle is available with a second round pick offer.. It might sound high but we need to add a verygood player on the line.

    That's exactly what I'd do. We can get by with Jason Fox vs. Wash & Jax. Rather have a more complete Brandon Albert, who, like every player, is only going to get more worn down as the season goes on, than a 60% Brandon Albert starting Game 1 and degrading the rest of the season.
