Redskins General 2020 NFL Thread

I’m waiting for Kyle Smith to pick up the “cast offs” during TC but especially late in the PS. Late in the PreSeason other teams will be making the toughest cuts. Some good players will be dropped simply because they have too many average or above average players at a certain position.

For the positions where we are are very thin with players - such as at TE, OT and maybe CB. Especially at TE where the Redskins are VERY thin, with no definitive starters, adding a few oils recastoffs could instantly improve the TE crew. We would have their college tape and more importantly their PS film to evaluate their worth. The best thing is that they will come VERY CHEAP for one year contracts. Very high potential for a low, low cost.

The other teams will do all the work and we reap the reward. Our cap limit is very high $21 mill, which will carry over to next year when we sign the best of these new pickups. I am very interested to see how this new strategy works!!

What have you been smoking today? Morgan Moses doesn't even have a place on the roster locked up after the way he played last season.

Moses has been getting progressively worse year by year.

Exactly. I hope we can coach up one of the OT players we have now, or pick up a FA dropped by other teams late in the PS. Then start Moses but bring on the new guy with some play time. Game time competition. If Moses pulls his head out of his azz and start s playing well - great. But I think he will continue to go downhill and be replaced sometime season. Too many penalties, too many missed blocks and he even pulled Scherff down with him. We’re going to get someone THIS season to replace Moses

I’m not throwing the towel in on Moses, bring in competition to challenge him but I still think he has the tools to be a quality RT.

I'm with you, he's been inconsistant but I don't think he's that bad. The penalties need to significantly decrease though.

I'm completely done with Moses. Check out the video where Alex Smith gets his leg crushed. There is Moses watching JJ Watt hitting Smith after Moses just gave yet another DL a free run at the QB on one of his matador blocks. How many times do we see him unsure of which player to block on a blitz and deciding to block neither of them?

He doesn't just pile up false starts. His false starts are at the worst possible times for the team: when we're pinned deep, inside the Red Zone, inside the 5-yard line, moving us outside of field goal position, in the 4th quarter.

Also, I don't see the fire in him. He looks like he's working a 9-5 job.

If he's going to take a penalty, why doesn't he just tackle the DL who just got by him is about hit our QB? He could at least holler "Fore!", "Ole!", or "Watch out!".

Moses didn't seem like he had a lot of passion to play, unlike Penn (he certainly showed it on the field last year even though he knew he was playing for Redskins just for one year). But I don't think it's fair for us to assume that Moses doesn't have the passion, hence the famous quote - don't judge a book by its cover. Some people don't express themselves openly like some people do. I remember Moses had to play through ankle injuries on both ankles in the 2018 season, in fact, he was the only Oline player to play full 16 games that year. After the season, he had to get an ankle surgery to fix the issues. I find it hard to believe Moses would play through those injuries if he didn't have the passion.

Although I'm with you - I think we need to replace Moses when we get an opportunity to find a replacement.

We can complain all we want about Moses but he's not going anywhere. Replacing Trent is enough to have on our plate without having to worry about replacing both tackles.

I hope Moses can return to his highest level of play .... like I hope for all Redskins to do.

I don't know that he can. It would seem doubtful. But who knows. He's not that far removed form his best days. Maybe the regime change will help light a fire under his ass that brings out the best from him.


Given the current roster, I think the Tackle positions will either be:

Lucas - LT
Moses - RT

OR

Charles - LT
Lucas - RT


Maybe we can convince a FA like Jason Peters to play here for a couple of years. That would certainly be an upgrade. But would also seem to me to take a lot of convincing. Why should an aging vet sign up to play for the Skins??? If Super Bowl contention in the near future is a desire, it would probably make this impossible to pull off.

Or maybe we can find someone to pluck from the waiver wire in the pre-season that could improve that position.


Gonna be interesting to watch unfold.

In my best Captain Obvious voice -- O-Line will be a key in how big a turn around we will have next season.
