Any of the QBs consistently getting pounded wouldn't be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While true, having Keenum take the brunt of that pounding wouldn't hurt Washington in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's essentially the same argument MK was making with regards to Christian and Martin, just from a different angle. I want to protect Haskins at all costs. I want him to be the QB here for a decade plus, and I view the situation that having him play in right now is severely detrimental to that long term goal. I just want to be on record saying I don't want any of the QBs consistently pounded that's why I say start whoever won the job. I don't care if its Penn and Flowers for this year.

This season is already a lost cause IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if its Penn and Flowers for this year. In an ideal world, none of the QBs would be pounded. However, given that we're left hoping that either a 36 year old LT can regain his form from two years ago or a 2nd year draft pick can suddenly make a significant jump and we're either seeing a waste-of-talent-tackle can move inside effectively or a 4th round rookie can step right into the big leagues right off the bat, I don't really see a pathway forward where the QB isn't getting pounded.

The season hasn't even begun in Reality! While it hasn't begun, the early play from the left side of the line in the preseason (didn't really matter whom was there) has left a lot to be desired. If it were Trent + Flowers/Martin, I'd be okay. If it were Penn/Christian + quality LG, I'd be okay. Penn/Christian + Flowers/Martin? That's definitely suboptimal. By a long shot.

Hand the ball off a little more and give the starting unit time to gel. I'm not with all the negativity without the season even started yet.

It might didn't look spectacular, but it didn't look unable to protect the QB and open up lanes for the RB to a degree. I'd give them about a 6 with potential to be a 8 out of 10 with more gelling time and them playing meaningful games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
