I'm completely done with Moses. Check out the video where Alex Smith gets his leg crushed. There is Moses watching JJ Watt hitting Smith after Moses just gave yet another DL a free run at the QB on one of his matador blocks. How many times do we see him unsure of which player to block on a blitz and deciding to block neither of them?

He doesn't just pile up false starts. His false starts are at the worst possible times for the team: when we're pinned deep, inside the Red Zone, inside the 5-yard line, moving us outside of field goal position, in the 4th quarter.

Also, I don't see the fire in him. He looks like he's working a 9-5 job.

If he's going to take a penalty, why doesn't he just tackle the DL who just got by him is about hit our QB? He could at least holler "Fore!", "Ole!", or "Watch out!".

Moses didn't seem like he had a lot of passion to play, unlike Penn (he certainly showed it on the field last year even though he knew he was playing for Redskins just for one year). But I don't think it's fair for us to assume that Moses doesn't have the passion, hence the famous quote - don't judge a book by its cover. Some people don't express themselves openly like some people do. I remember Moses had to play through ankle injuries on both ankles in the 2018 season, in fact, he was the only Oline player to play full 16 games that year. After the season, he had to get an ankle surgery to fix the issues. I find it hard to believe Moses would play through those injuries if he didn't have the passion.

Although I'm with you - I think we need to replace Moses when we get an opportunity to find a replacement.

We can complain all we want about Moses but he's not going anywhere. Replacing Trent is enough to have on our plate without having to worry about replacing both tackles.

[Pervis_Griffith]

I hope Moses can return to his highest level of play .... like I hope for all Redskins to do.

I don't know that he can. It would seem doubtful. But who knows. He's not that far removed form his best days. Maybe the regime change will help light a fire under his ass that brings out the best from him.


Given the current roster, I think the Tackle positions will either be:

Lucas - LT
Moses - RT

OR

Charles - LT
Lucas - RT


Maybe we can convince a FA like Jason Peters to play here for a couple of years. That would certainly be an upgrade. But would also seem to me to take a lot of convincing. Why should an aging vet sign up to play for the Skins??? If Super Bowl contention in the near future is a desire, it would probably make this impossible to pull off.

Or maybe we can find someone to pluck from the waiver wire in the pre-season that could improve that position.


Gonna be interesting to watch unfold.

In my best Captain Obvious voice -- O-Line will be a key in how big a turn around we will have next season.

Going to gold and white and using burgundy just for trim looks really cool !!! Love that picture of Chase ! If they sell that jersey, I may have to get that one. I have shied away from player jerseys since my purchase of an RG3 jersey.

I think it's time we change up a bit too, long overdue IMO

It’s a solid base...I’d really like us to finally develop a blue chip player on defense again in my lifetime. Sean Taylor was on the cusp...Champ chumped out.

It's a good list although I'm not sure about Collins.. I think Collins can be a good player as long as the coaches use him right, because of that reason alone, I'm not sure if Collins is a player to build around.

Agreed. Collins hasn't proven it to me yet. I think he can be solid, but I thought his tackling was inconsistant last year.

Call me crazy but I'd throw Cole Holcomb in there. I'm aware he's not the same type of playmaker Payne, Ioannidis, Young or McLaurin are.

But I think a 24 years old fast, solid tackler, smart LB is a great asset. Maybe not exactly the "build around" type, but definitely a player I'd love to see become a long time Redskin !

Guys who have "maybe" on them:

Chase Rouiller: I'm not sold on him yet. A strong year from the o-line would definitely help his case.

Landon Collins: For the money we're paying him, I need more than a good run defender. He's making playmaker money. He's making Polamalu, Reed, Taylor money. For that money I want turnovers, and someone who can play deep coverage. He still has yet to show that.

All that but can he also stay healthy,he did ok health wise with the Skins? All were questions the Giants had on him and why they didn't give him the play maker money.
