The fact that the team traded for David Sharp with the Raiders tells me that the coaches are worried OL DEPTH at this point, not necessarily OL performance. That may change once the games start and we see if Christian, Martin and Moses can really hold their own in actual games. But our DL is the best part of this team, so Rivera has seen how the OL performs against some really good players.
Without depth the OL starters must play longer per game - adding to their chance of injury as we’ve seen in previous seasons. I predict the team may add more OL pickups as other teams drop decent talent!

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I've never seen rotation used on the OL. Back ups OL usually only get in if the starting OL is hurt (or in heavy packages with extra OLs, obviously). Am I wrong ?

Washington acquired OL David Sharpe and a 2021 seventh-round pick from the Raiders in exchange for a 2021 sixth-round pick.
Skins made a move...an indication of just has awful the Oline has looked.

No. It's all about finding better starters on the OL. Although I'm pleased that the staff is leaving no stone unturned to find better players now, we need to remember that this is only Year One of RR's team build. It would be a miracle if the OL were to be fixed for this season. That is not a criticism. By the 2022 season, if all goes well, we should have one heckuva good OL and team.

David Sharpe
- 24 years old
- 2017 4th round pick by the Raiders
- started 2 games last year
- 6'6" 330 lbs
- UFA after this year
- 2.1M cap hit
Seems like he is not an upgrade over what we already have, which is a handful of young backup caliber players. Geron Christian, Cornelius Lucas, Parris and rookie Charles.
RR had been talking up Geron Christian so I dont know if perhaps he is souring on Geron.
Cornelius Lucas I think is the guy to start LT week 1.
Bottom line - we get to kick the tires on a young player who will probably play some snaps this year. Low percent he becomes a long term skin but perhaps out of Sharpe, Lucas, Christian and Charles .. one of them becomes a reliable long term backup a la Nsekhe at either T spot or emerges as a Moses replacement for next year.
Next year we are absolutely adding a quality starter LT. Our future LT is not currently on this roster.

I think the Sharpe acquisition is more of an indictment on Lucas and the Geron.
eh, depth move more than anything
It's not like we went out and got a legit starter

o--line is a mess. Once BS and Moses get hurt it will be unwatchable. Hopefully it will be the number one priority next year.

Heard the left side has been overall disappointing but Christian has shown improvement.

Totally agree, no way Lucas starts maybe wont even make the 53 if Sharpe has a pulse

Another practice missed for Kendall Fuller. Concerning. Antonio Gandy Golden too, but Washington Football is not as dependent on him for Week 1 as they are Fuller.
------------
NFL teams are free to cut players whenever they want, but when the deadline of 4 p.m. ET on Saturday, Sept. 5 arrives, all 32 rosters must consist of no more than 53 players on the active/inactive list. (Teams already had to trim their training camp rosters to a maximum of 80 players by Aug. 16.)
-----------
Fuller has missed a lot of practices.
Sean Davis is not taking many reps with the 1s.
RR is talking up Apke.
