In Season Redskins Roster Grades

I knew Murphy was good from the eye test, didn't think he was that good. Really surprised.

From PFF yesterday after the game:

Trent Williams earning All-Pro billing

Trent Williams has consistently graded amongst the league’s top tackles, but has always been somewhat overlooked due to the proximity of elite talents like Jason Peters and Tyron Smith. Should this form persist, however, Williams’ exploits will be hard to ignore. He gave up only one hurry on 41 dropbacks, and facilitated a number of long runs with cutoff blocks on the backside of Washington’s trademark outside zone. Williams’ athleticism makes him a match for any linebacker at the second level, and his power ensures he’s rarely beat once in position. Rarely does a tackle inflict fear in opposing defenses, but Williams is a special player.

With the exception of 96-99, and since 1981, we have had some kick ass left tackles:

1981 - 88 Joe Jacoby (Four Pro-Bowls, Two All-Pro)

1989 - 95 Jim Lachey 89-95 (w/ Skins - Two Pro-Bowls, Two All-Pro)

1996 - 99 [Ed Simmons/Shar Pourdanesh/Tony Drake/Andy Heck]

2000 - 09 Chris Samuels (Six Pro Bowls, One All-Pro)

2010 - ?? Trent Williams (Four Pro-Bowls).

That's a pretty impressive run.

That's a pretty impressive run.good call, i forgot williams came in right when samuels retired.

i was just thinking about tre johnson today, that made me think about good ol' shar.

According to Wikipedia, Tre' Johnson is now a history teacher and coach at an upscale private school in Bethesda, MD. Just a random FYI. He was one of those guys who would've fit right in with the Hogs.

Shar Pourdanesh - still the only Iranian American NFL player.

Does anybody know why Duke Ihenacho is not playing more. On ESPN980 they briefly discussed his lack of playing time. They went as far as implying there is more to it than on the filed issues.

In Omaha, I do not hear any Redskins rumors.

Also, does anybody know where SmootSmack is at? I haven't seen a post from him in months.

IDK but its working regardless and yeah I was wondering where he has been?? It's been a yr or so since I saw him here

Pro Football Focus provides metrics of just about everything that happens on the football field, including offensive line play. The Redskins rank No. 3 in pass blocking, and No. 6 in run blocking. While those numbers stand out, it's more important what the players themselves think.

Brandon Scherff isn't just blocking defensive linemen. He's destroying them | CSN Mid-Atlantic (http://www.csnmidatlantic.com/washington-redskins/brandon-scherff-destroying-defensive-lineman-eagles-ravens-fletcher-cox)

Humiliating one defender wasn't enough for Scherff, so he also decided to grab Fletcher Cox — one of the NFL's best interior players — and shove him to the ground before Cox got within the same county as Kirk Cousins

WOW

Leopard Williams my ass!! Love Sherff as much as Grimm.

The pass pro has been outstanding all year long.
