Regular Season Practice / Roster / Injury updates

Stroman the corresponding move in order to activate Scherff

 
I hope Charles is that breakthrough player.

Despite the picks on the DL including Ioannidis in Round 5 and Settle as well, Washington has been unable to find quality performers in the middle rounds of the draft on the OL.

Christian was a #3 pick but has performed at a replacement level at LT.

Martin and Pierschbacher have been disappointments as #4 and #5 picks.

Rouillier has been functional at center as a former #6 pick but gets overpowered quickly in pass pro.

The ONE player the team has acquired that DID in fact exceed expectations, Ereck Flowers, was able to leave DC after one year because Washington failed to negotiate a team option for a second season into the deal.

Recall that Flowers had been cut by the Giants and failed at both tackle spots in the NFL. He was not at that time a player with a lot of leverage and Washington should have been able to better benefit from the contract they gave him to experiment at another position on the OL if successful.
 
Well didn't expect to see that....

 
Harmon moving a bit more.... diggin the logo on the floor ;)

 
Do you really think McLaurin couldn’t connect down the field if he had a quarterback to throw him the ball? 😚

Haskins has the arm but poor accuracy while Allen throws great short but doesn’t have the ‘ups’ to get the ball 40 yards downfield.

You can’t indict the wideouts until you have a qb under whom you can run the full playbook and execute the throws.
 


Allen doesn't have Haskins arm, but he can throw it 50-60 yds downfield whenever he's asked to. The problem isn't getting the ball downfield, it's how long our QBs have protection. There's a reason why we aren't attempting it - this OL sucks.

it's not that easy.

when McLaurin is the ONLY threat you have down field guess what happens. The safety doesn't get pulled to the other side of the field, or crash down on the RB on a crossing route. They see McLaurin release down field and they go play center field. Having a threat on the other side can possibly open things up for McLaurin if / when you want to.
