LoganF89 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Ty Nsekhe John Kling-future/reserve Cameron Jefferson-future/reserve Alex Balducci-future/reserve Arie Kuandjio Tyler Catalina TJ Clemmings My question is, Do we try to make one of these backups our starter at Left guard for 2018, Im interested in letting 3 guys learn and push for a competition, those are Orlando Franklin, Ty Nsekhe, and TJ Clemmings. Hear me out. I think Nsekhe can be a starting guard in this league if he is getting the reps in practice, Orlando Franklin has the most guard experience of the 3 and was a former 2nd round pick and has started in this league. TJ Clemmings played solid at Tackle when we called on him last year, hes the yongest of the three and i believe has a higher ceiling to learn the game more. He is one who if he can learn and play well at LG he could be around a while. Should we try these guys or do you think we absolutely need to sign a FA If it was up to me I would do an in house competition and draft a 4th or 5th round guy to come in and compete. I know we all want a LG really badly but I cant justify spending one of our first two picks on a guard unless Nelson was to fall to us round 1 or we had Hernandez or price fall to us in round 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mar29020 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 honestly we need nseke in that reserve role. when he steps in we dont see to much of a talent drop of so he is very valuable in that role. i think we need to draft another guard maybe in the 3rd.

turtle28 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Balducci sounds like he was in the Sopranos so I’ll go with him! lol ? jk I think it’s between Nsekhe and Kouandjio tbh w/o signing or drafting someone else worth starting. Kalis and Catalina may make the team as reserves depending on who we draft/sign. I’ve been pounding the table for Nsekhe to be put at LG since 2015 when Kory L & Lauvao were lost for the year but they went with Leribus at C and Long at LG. I think Nsekhe can be a mauler and if Nsekhe he gets time to develop there he’ll be a good run blocker as a G. He’s already a good pass blocker at left tackle, put him in the phone booth at LG and I would think he’d be better but he’d have to work on leverage to protect against DTs and their bull rushes.

I know he wasn’t very good at it, but didn’t Clemmings play G some in Minnesota two years ago when their OL had a boatload of injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus21 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 This is the trash heap fellas.....I am concerned that we are going to reach for a guard in round one or possibly trade back if we can find a partner.. my dream of Vita Vea is slipping away!

turtle28 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 The Redskins still have Orlando Franklin as a reserve/futures contract guy on their roster. He was an OT/G that played for Denver and San Diego. I would think if he has a good shot at winning the starting job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’m scared of it too. I hope if we are going to take Wynn or Hernandez that we trade down because taking them at 13 is too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Draper Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 We need to strongly consider a left guard in round 2 or 3. Ty should have been starting there the last two years but he’s getting some age on him. I wouldn’t be upset if we went NT 1 and LG 2. If Chubb falls to our pick in 2, I’d take him and the guard at 3 that we pickup with the trade back. That monster from a Georgia is a perfect number 2 to go along with Vea or Payne in number 1. If Vea is gone which is a strong possibility, trade back to 17-18 and take Payne and pick up a 3 for a RB. Of course if they sign the big fella NT free agent just cut the deadwood like McGee and Hood and use your 1 in a trade back for the guard or RB. Rule 1 for this offseason- get a bonafide NT Rule 2 fix the LG spot PRine might be the answer at RB with a better line and a new committment in training camp to running the hall successfully what do I think they will do? probably draft a S/CB 1 and a WR 2. Which would be awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Honestly at this point I expect them to resign Shawn Lauvao and he'll be the starting LG this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, none of the guys listed in your entire post is signed beyond this season. What is the plan beyond this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
