You're still not into Moses. As for Long, I feel like his time as a potential starting guard is done, eve if Chase beats him out.

Surprising that you don't like Moses, I thought he's been pretty solid since he got here and has mostly toughed it out with two sprained ankles. The only slight downer on him for me is that he seems to jump back into pass pro early all the time. He gets away with it a lot, so maybe his timing is just perfectly early.

RandyHolt Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I cannot believe Lauvao got hurt. We got an injury flush. ****ing wonderful. I don't know what our Sunday OL strength will be, but Kirk needs to grab the bull by the horns and help out with audibles and line calls. Maybe running a ton is what is best, with Crowder and Reed out, and Pryor on the outs. No pun intended. He probably runs it too round. Sigh.

Likely in the team's best long-term interest to just invest in that position via the draft if we can find a nasty guy to help solidify the interior for a long time.

skinny21 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Would be big to have Nsheke, Long and Scherff back for this game. Cooley has had some decent/high praise for Kouandijo too. Stupid question... will Moses' ankles improve much as we get further from the injury, or does playing not allow that to happen? (moot question if he actually aggravates the injury of course) Did not like Clemings starting, but he's not a terrible backup (less so against the more dominant dlines).

Est.1974 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 OL depth looks pretty damn decent in the future after this run of injuries. Would like another stud OG in the draft but overall we'll have a good stable of 9 or 10 guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moses injury will only improve with rest. He keeps tweeking those ankles every game. What I don't get is Moses tweeking ankles is not new to this year. He's done it just about every year as a starter. Yet I can't remember seeing him start a game with his ankles taped up over his shoes until he tweeks an ankle. I would think he would start games with as much support on his ankles as possible. 2 minutes ago, UK SKINS FAN '74 said: OL depth looks pretty damn decent in the future after this run of injuries.

The rest are junk, especially Catalina. Cooley said the only reason he gave Catalina a D- grade for the SEA game is because he doesn't grade below a D-. Catalina wasn't near good enough on Sunday.

Not to mention, when a particular position group gets hit this hard with injuries, any team would be lucky to field an NFL Quality Backup. I understand his performance was below par, but the fact that he saw The Field in a meaningful snap meant we were already in trouble. It's kinda like kicking him for being down, no?

veteranskinsfan Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I have no idea how we were able to get Bill Callahan to come to the Skins but he has really helped our linemen- both the veterans and the rookies. I hope we resign him when his contract comes up for renewal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audible_Red40 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Nsekhe would be huge this week if healthy. He played extremely well last year against Minnesota. Everson Griffen didn't provide anything. I fear Tj Clemmings is not gonna cut it. Nsekhe is very important!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt an analyst come out and predict Kalis would make the 53 shortly after he was signed iirc? Kalis is getting the most push in the run game out of any of our guards it seems fwiw.

I could see Kalis making the roster as a backup." - Draft Analyst, 5/10/17. It's actually a pretty good write up. By what I've see so far it is pretty spot on.

carex Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I think Catelina made it because he could play tackle. The Skins cut Kalis and Arie and kept Catelina and the one difference is he can play T and they can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebestian Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I am really impressed with Roullier. What a great find later in the draft. A little off topic, this entire draft class could turn out to be one of the best the team has ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it should have been a moot point with Nsheke in the fold. Instead we've been relying on both Catalina and Clemmings. Still ticked off about losing Kalis. Think that young man is going to be a solid player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
