[quote=CRedskinsRule;1283689]I believe the FO is taking advantage of the new cba which allows 46 active IF the extra players are OL, up to 8. Also with a 17 game season, and several OL guys "prone" to injury, Scherff - Moses are 2 notable ones, the extra bodies along the OL will prove to be one of the best moves of our off season.[/quote]

Interesting. Yeah offenses really folded last year in Dallas, Philly and end of season with KC when Oline problems emerged.

Man that Oline room is gonna be large with these guys competing.

It is funny and a little odd that a career journeyman would take such offense, but oh well. The coaches have spoken on it too. Wonder if his ass is chapped at them too.

Bargain!

[B]Washington signed LT Charles Leno, formerly of the Bears, to a one-year, $5 million contract. [/B]
Leno, shockingly cut by Chicago in April, could replace the role vacated by LT Trent Williams two years ago. The Football Team used its second round draft pick this year on T Sam Cosmi, who could compete with Leno for the Week 1 starting job protecting Ryan Fitzpatrick's blindside. Pro Football Focus rated Leno the league's 26th best tackle in 2020. Washington had the NFL's third best pass-blocking offensive line in 2020, according to PFF.

I don't blame him, we've been hearing parrot report after parrot report that he's mad we're bringing in competition and completely ignoring the fact that he played very well last year.

Yes, we've all wanted the "next Trent Williams" but our O-Line ranked very well last season, especially Lucas. They're the last posotion group to blame for offensive struggles last season.

Haha, Schefter getting mocked for plagiarism.

Re: Post Draft Free agency targets
 

Love the signing! Leno is an upgrade over Lucas.

Re: Post Draft Free agency targets
 

Leno will likely win the LT job.

Where should we put Cosmi? Moses has RT locked down. Lucas will be the top backup unless he beats Leno out. Maybe start him at guard?

I suggest we include Scherff in a deal for Aaron Rodgers and move Cosmi to guard.

Scouring the planet:

The Washington Football Team is bringing in two Canadian players for workouts tomorrow, before the start of rookie minicamp: DB Nelson Lokombo, the No. 2 overall pick in the CFL draft last week, and OL Logan Bandy, drafted 38th overall, per source.

The talking heads clip described Lokombo as playing the boundary halfback. Does that equate to what was mentioned earlier.

More depth on the o line. Gotta love that. Whether Leno starts or not - i think he will - it is boosting the trenches. When you have both trenches run deep you win games.

Hell yes they are. That is the way you build a team from its foundation. Otherwise it is just a house of cards. We have a pretty damn solid foundation.

You allow open competition and don't sweat it.
Our FO has watched the tape and knows our OL was a paper tiger, not as good as stats indicate, blown up by better teams. We beat ONE winning team last year, and though lots of reasons, OL a big one. If Cosmi comes in and shines he'll start, but if he doesn't, we have an option better than Lucas.

Stop with the ridiculousness about Rodgers, just like Watson, he isn't being traded, and if he is the cost is WAY more than we should pay. GB holds ALL the power, Rodgers can whine all he wants but he isn't getting traded. Regardless, you aren't moving an overpaid RG who can't stay healthy for a HOF QB, think GB wants to pay a freaking RG who is never healthy $18M long term? Dream on. You also don't move Cosmi, the long term answer at LT hopefully, to G. You keep Cosmi at LT and develop him into a starter. Jeez.

Hey, why don't we trade Scherff for Rodgers straight up, and move him to RG, and have Chase Young play LG, and move Cosmi to FS?

Re: Post Draft Free agency targets
 

I like Leno's signing. We Washington fans of all should know the importance of quality OL depth.
I don't care who wins the job, let 'em compete, start the best man, keep the best men, regardless of draft position.
Saadhiq Charles never seemed to have NFL hands technique to me, I won't sweat one bit if he ends up being cut. Won't sweat either if Christian gets cut.
