markmills67 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I know that Lauvao has been average as a Redskins player, but he played RG for the Brown's and as soon as he becomes a Redskin we move him to LG, why did we not play him at his right position it could have made a big difference to his performance.

Anselmheifer Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I still really like the idea of Scherff on the left, next to Trent. At least that would give us one solid side of the OL, in terms of run blocking. Edit: And, maybe try Arie on the right, next to Moses. I think there is a good chance that Arie is better this year, his 4th, than Luvao and a bunch of rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTTR I saw a good answer to this question in another forum: "Teams generally run right more frequently and bootleg right much more frequently. And most importantly, teams generally slide their protection left to help protect the right handed QB’s blind side (and often to give assistance against the opposing team’s best pass rusher), which means the RG is generally left one-on-one in pass pro more frequently. This is why most of your elite, and particularly well-rounded, guards play on the right side. Zack Martin, Marshal Yanda, David Decastro, Trai Turner, Kevin Zeitler, Brandon Brooks, TJ Lang, Kyle Long, Richie Incognito, Jahri Evans in his prime, etc. Some outstanding guards play on the left side, but usually that’s either because they’re shifting in from LT (tough to switch sides), they’re mostly a tremendous run blocker, or they joined a team that already had a good RG and didn’t want to mess with that."

Hope we cut him soon. And a lot of yall are overrating CJ Anderson. He was trash last year. And the Broncos were trying to give that #1 RB spot away and he couldnt take it. He lived on the fantasy football waiver all year in both of the leagues I was in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachboy757 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Maybe I'm too sensitive about this but I don't know why a guy like Robert Kelley is being refered to as a "garbage ass player"?? He was an undrafted free agent that worked hard to get a shot to start. He is obviously nothing special but has shown flashes to be considered a NFL starter. Why do players like him and Ryan Grant get trashed while other players that were picked higher in the draft and play average and/or inconsistent get all type of excuses about being placed in the wrong position, wrong team, wrong FO structure, injuries, etc?? /endrant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would feel much better if he was 3rd string on the depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurseReversed Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Kelley is a little underrated IMO. He is not going to be an elite back for us, but he is a pretty good when healthy. Pretty happy with him backing up Guice. Not very high on Samaje though. He might not make the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perine will make it over Kelly, if nothing else because we used a draft pick. Granted you hope that doesnt matter... but I'm not convinced we've seen everything we could ever get from Perine. I look for him to take a step forward this year, especially if he's got Guice ahead of him and he can truly focus on situational running and specific packages.

On top of that he wasn't even a regular starter....and he's 31 years old. Ty Nseke is our versatile lineman. I would be all in for signing former #2 draft pick Greg Robinson. He has a ton of potential and is still very young. Callahan could develop him into a proficient guard. Robinson started his career off as a LG while Jake Long started LT. He really started to struggle once placed on an island (LT). Robinson played well as a guard.....Callahan and Robinson could be a good combo.

Robinson was drafted #2 overall in the 2014 draft (wonder where the Rams got that pick?). He was traded last offseason for a 2018 6th rd pick to the Lions, where he hoped to compete for a job against Cyrus Kouandijo (who was injured at the time lol) A deal like this has a little Redskins flavor already in the recipe.

I think Kelley suffers from being miscast as a #1 RB. As a fill-in, spot starter, you could get by. He actually was not totally terrible in 2016. And he's an ok pass blocker. I'd rather have Kelley over Perine. One or both will be gone. All things being equal in camp, I suspect Perine will stick over the other options simply because they used a 4th on him last year.

I felt like Perine had better burst through the hole than Kelly. You're right, 1 of them is gone. I'd imagine IF we were to carry 4 rbs, Bibbs or Westy takes that 4th spot as an insurance policy to CT. The other thing, and I'm not sure if it's possible, but is Perine PS eligible? If he is, we may try to stash him there. If we do, someone will take him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
