Redskins Offseason Thread

Thats why i put the week 5 rankings. The line coming into the year was a top 10 line. By end of year we had lost our line's cohesion and all the results Chico listed prove it was a disaster. Fact is, if injuries pile up again the left guard is going to be the least of our worries.

I think everyone should be happy, not that Kujo got hurt, but if you believed we needed to do something other than what they had, this injury will put more pressure on them to find a proper replacement.

And it appears that Sean Welsh (UDFA) out of Iowa just decided to retire: https://www.hogshaven.com/2018/5/11/...eaves-redskins

Yeah, this guy who at least some folks thought might be a sleeper: https://www.landof10.com/iowa/iowa-f...ngton-redskins

So neither AK or Welch were locks to start or even make the team, but seeing a depleted group of contenders for our weakest O-line position isn't great.

The plan is coming together...

F that! I expected quite a lot out of him, at least hope was allowed with him...
Gosh why does it always fall on us?! Cravens, now him? Talk about "football players" huh! (Ok Cravens was a 2nd round pick and he's an UDFA, but still, he was seen as a potential steal).

I was a fan of him already, promising guy overcoming depression and being open about it, would have been a great story...

Pat Kirwan was really high on this kid. That's really a shame, hopefully he will have a good life, and not battle the demon of depression...

Skins likely will make some moves here.

Good read.
Good points about having to deal with the salary cap, and not spending too much on certain positions, and LG not being the most important position on the O-line.

But he does seem to be wearing rose colored glasses when he says TJ Clemmings and Tyler Catalina could respectively "thrive" and "take a big step forward"... With all due respect to them, those guys simply aren't talented enough!

Season over

Haha I hear you, of course it's only a back up and an UDFA.
But this happening on arguably our weakest position on offense, after a season during which injuries on the OL kept this team from performing to its full potential, makes me wanna see the FO be a little more pro-active in finding a solution at LG.

Now, can we win games with Trent Williams, Lauvao(/Nsekhe), Roullier, Scherff and Moses up front? Absolutely, that is a really good OL.

I just feel we could easily do better at LG without breaking the bank.
And when you just signed a 34 years old QB, I don't think it is that bad of an idea to beef up your OL.

To put it into perspective a bit, we had one of the top O lines in the league last year (when healthy) with Lauvao as the starter at the beginning of the year.

I am way more concerned with having quality depth on the Oline than Lauvao as the starter at LG.

I would much rather them invest in a fast twitch edge rusher who can F with the QB, than spend money on LG.

[Chico23231]

Ryan k 4th in league in sacks and Preston smith...Ryan Anderson and smart money spent on McPhee.

Payne will impact the rush inside and out.

Boxes checked with pass rush.

You need JAG at LG, if healthy Lauvao can be that. What about Bergstrom?
