turtle28 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Darrell Williams looking good out there at ILB. We just picked him up, I wonder if he has a chance at the practice squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say 70% on 3rd down they are running a zone play leaving the middle open. It's also that the only ILBs I can think of this decade which we had who were good at coverage were Keenan Robinson, Sua Cravens and now JHC; both of them were college SS’s.

A TRAIN 89 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Interested to see how the roster cuts shake out, especially at WR. on a side note... Just a few years back - RB/DL/DB were absolutely horrific units. Consistently the worst in the NFL. Now, they are arguably the strength of this team and what will carry us over the next few years. Conversely, OL (Williams/Moses/Scherff/Lichtensteiger/Long/Nsekhe) and WR (Garcon/Jackson/Crowder/Reed) were rock solid units and now they are the biggest issue this team has. Crazy how that works. We've never really had a solid O/D/ST units at the same time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I agree with most of the above post, but I don't think DBs are a strength of this team. Norman is aging and declining a little each year, Dunbar is oft-injured, FS is one of the weakest roster spots and our new SS struggles in coverage. Moreau should be stepping up, but his play hasn't equaled his talent level. It's an average unit at best, below average at worst. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle28 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Seems Gruden isn't thinking of keeping 7 wrs. Going to be interesting to see what happens. Do we trade or cut Doctson? Does Davis, Kidsy, Sims or Sims, Jr make it as young udfa’s with upside? Does Quick make it because he's a reliable vet? Does Chesson make it as the 6th WR bc of his special teams play?

We've never really had a solid O/D/ST units at the same time. It's all how you allocate your $. If the Redskins hadn't signed Josh Norman, they would have had $ to keep DJax or Garcon and add the free agents they did to their D in 2017. They also would have had the $ for Long at LG in 2018 and they probably would have kept Breeland too. If Brice hadn't traded for Alex Smith they would still have Kendall Fuller as our #2 and slot corner. I don't think they were going to keep Crowder no matter what. The size of the contract given to him was probably going to be too much for a WR who had underwhelmed and been injured a lot in 2017 & 18.

When you put it that way, signing Norman sounds like a much better decision. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he's not going to be our starter this year... Ugh Just said this myself. Possible explanation of his play? That probably won't matter from a "making the roster" perspective, but it might give some insight as to why he had such a bad night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take Breeland, Long and DJax over just Norman. Cousins would have been even better than he was in 2017 if Djax was still on the roster.

If that happens, it Sucks for Apke, I wanted him to work out and I think he has potential but Reaves has certainly outplayed him. Lavar was right, we overdrafted Apke by a few rounds. There were certainly other safeties I liked better, of course I can’t remember their names now! Haha 🤣 Maybe we keep 5 safeties but that’s going to be hard w/ so many good WRs and the injuries to Reed and some others.

Only half of the sites I scanned had him making it. The concussion to McKinzy really complicated the situation for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
