Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Giants at Redskins)

TW needs to improve, no doubt. I think we have to have a little patience though too. He's a 2nd year LT who mostly played RT in college. He's still developing.

Pierre-Paul is no slouch either, he's gonna be good.

Agreed. I'm not saying TW is a bust or any crap like that. Actually I hope he can become the best LT in the game one day. But he ain't there yet that's for sure.

I dont know what yal were looking at, Reed was all over the field Sunday making plays every where, he was a freak, a manchild, he even caught a pass from Rex.

Even in his holy absence....the man-love for Laron remains boundless. :laughing2

It is funny how people do not notice or care about the play of an offensive lineman or defensive back until they F- up. For all of the negative plays TW had Sunday, there twice as many or more positive plays that hardly anybody noticed.
He does have room for improvement. So does the rest of our team.

Yeah I heard Casserly talking about him and he's very impressed with him. Should be a pro bowler very soon.
Still I agree TW needs to improve. We didn't draft him that high to block the wannabe's.

Hard to say what his real upside is, but it certainly seems like I didn't give his skill set enough credit coming out of USF.

Trent has very quietly become our best run blocker after struggling in that aspect in the beginning of last season. That makes him a very good fit at OT in our system. But if we ever want him to be more than a system player -- and the 4th overall pick should never be a system guy -- he has to improve in pass protection.

The sophomore slump.

It has been the bane of many a player.

We have a new center and 2 new guards? Really? TW, Lichtensteiger, Brown, and Montgomery are all back. Chester is the only new face. Looks pretty similar to 2010 if you ask me.



Well that's a weak defense: Our 1st round LT and cap leader suck, but wait there's someone out there who's worse!!

And to be clear, I AM giving credit to the team. I loved the draft and most/all of the changes we made. I do think we're headed in the right direction. But it's not a crime to point out the areas we need improvement, especially since this is the Smackdown thread.

True, this is the Smackdown thread but I'm the anti-Smackdown. My defense is of the other available top OL in Trent's class, the Skins were either going with Trent or Okung. And given Okung's ankle problems, I think the Skins got it right and we should be a little more patient.

To clarify, the interior three didn't begin the 2010 season as starters at their respective positions, so while they are not new Redskins, they are starting the season as a unit for the first time.

My opinion of Trent is that he will be great....he ain't there yet, though.

Trent was a little too raw. Look at the video below and notice the inconsistent play.....

This was his last year at Oklahoma.....notice the QB getting killed by Trent - not exactly a good way to finish your collegiate career.
