Reading this article surprised me on one point: I really thought the scientific knowledge in the NFL was more advanced than that.

I kind of have been doing a little research here and I think we practice in the morning, we are off the field around noon and they get a nice lunch. … So, I think to give that full time for recovery, so they can drink a lot of fluids and take care of their bodies is important.

No wonder why Pats players are willing to work with TB's personal trainer, if "classical" NFL coaches still are "kind of doing a little research" on these matters, then having access to advanced nutritional and body care knowledge can give a real competitive edge !

From PFF, nice note on Roullier

A few offensive lines were held back by injuries in 2017, but none were more injury-riddled than the Redskins, who had 12 different players play at least 50 pass-block snaps throughout the season. All told, the Redskins surrendered 181 pressures on 606 passing plays, including 35 QB hits, the fifth-most among offensive lines. There were bright spots, however, as left tackle Trent Williams, despite playing with an injury, proved once again that he’s one of the best offensive tackles in football by being the only left tackle in the league to register 350 pass-block snaps without allowing a sack. The Redskins also got a nice rookie season from center Chase Roullier, who ended the campaign with a pass-blocking efficiency of 98.4, the highest rating recorded by a rookie center since Nick Mangold (99.4) in 2006. If they can stay healthy, the Redskins have the making of one of the better offensive lines in football as we look ahead to 2018.

We're blessed to have Trent Williams. Before him, Chris Samuels. I really hope we can keep the offensive line intact this year.

Chase has a chance to be a solid lineman for a while, we will see how he does this yr. I spoke with one of the Analyst for the Skins at PFF (I am trying to get to cover them too) and he actually said Brandon graded poorly in pass blocking, I'd have to go watch his snaps but I guess its possible.

Brandon started slow...but finished strong pass blocking. I thought it was noticeable.

Its gonna be big if Chase can step up...his ability could push the Oline from borderline good to great.

I agree, he has the potential to be as good as Z Martin

I think our weakness is still left guard. That will be the biggest question mark for the Redskins.

Interesting stuff here from PFF on Inside LB play last year. Mason Foster was rated as the most productive pass rusher from the Inside LB spot. Martrell Spaight was the most efficient run stopper in the league from this spot. And Zach Vigil was 3rd best in passer rating allowed when targeted.

I think all of those things make sense - Spaight is know as a thumper and Vigil did surprisingly well in coverage last year, he acquitted himself well.

The problem is Spaight may be good against the run but he's a disaster in coverage, and Vigil may have defended the pass well but not well enough to avoid being heavily targeted by QBs.

I'm really hesitant to read too much into the Spaight ranking against the run without more information about where the stops occurred.

Anecdotally, he always was a step behind.

I believe his slow read and reaction stood out more in coverage because you can clearly see the space between where he was compared to where he should be.

I think a SLIGHTLY (not glaring) slow read and reaction by a defender, especially a linebacker can be masked a bit because he usually has some distance when he begins to close on the ball.

When Brown and Foster were healthy, they were making stops for losses and only slight gains. It seems like Spaight was making his sure handed tackles after the player had already gained yardage. (i'm sure injuries to the DLine contributed to this) Spaight just always seemed a step behind to me.

The coaches saw something they didn't like at the end of the year. Despite all the injuries, he didn't get the playing time a true 2nd stringer should have gotten.

I think he is on the roster bubble this year and struggles to make the team.

Thoughts?
