Continuity of... what? Im not a fan of any of our linemen right now. Scherff would probably be better long term than many other options. But this team needs to change things up. I wouldn’t give him away... hed need to come with a nice haul to consider it. But give a good enough offer and I’m not sure there’s a single Skin that’s off limits for a trade, to be honest. McLaurin might be the closest thing to untouchable for me right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build continuity with the guard I draft to replace him. I’m not paying Scherff as a top 3 interior OL, I’ll draft someone who will be very good for much less. There are incredibly gifted OL prospects in this draft, I’d trade Trent & Scherff & draft 2 in the first and 2 more later on. The guard position is one I value more than just about anyone, but I don’t see BS as the stud rg that others do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Scherff's move and combo blocking are top tier and his protections are clean. He's also a locker room leader. He plays hurt and he's entering the best years of his career. I would definitely keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be against keeping him, but if I was offered a first, I’d move on. Scherff, Dunbar, Foster, Payne, Allen, Monte, Settle, Allen, Quinn, Guice, Way & our rookies are the only guys I’d consider pieces we can build around. Right now, Flowers isn’t all that far from making that list - but we obviously need to see more & see continued improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I got a first, I’d draft a guard in the first, and I better get it right. There are guys to be had around the league, but I’d simply take a guard I have a first round grade on over paying Scherff ... unless I graded Scherff as a top 5 interior OL, in which case I’d be more than happy to pay him. I’d have done the same with Trent a year & a half ago & played Ty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't build a team around a guard unless he's an All-Pro and you've got other studs on the interior to protect the pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, well ya think?..ya just shipped off a top 5 guard lol I wanted to get rid of Kirk & Trent, and we should have. I don’t know if you could get a first for Scherff, but that’s an easy move imo. Take a guard with the 1st I get, take one late, and develop Martin & Flowers ... and you always have FA as well as OL available in trades after the draft. We’d be fine there.

Ok this makes sense..ya ok..his opinion on scherff..ya scherff had a bad game today..so if ya got a 1st for him use those picks to rebuild the line..replace trent with the original pick..trade norman for a second, recoop the one we lost to indy use that on a guard to replace..whaaaaaaat a much improved flowers?..try to replace moses..I'm done with him.

Going Commando Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Scherff is that he's one of the best pass blockers at the position in the NFL and he does enough things well in the run game, including difficult pull blocks, that he is a worthy building block on the OL. He also lets you try some nifty things because of his ability to reach the right hash on short drops and sweeps. He's consistently around a Pro-bowl level and he's clean, if not dominant. He's like a Kyle Long or Brandon Brooks caliber player. Good lines keep players like him. The line needs an overhaul but he's the best player from the group and you can certainly pay him and build a strong group. The problem with the roster is how we've spent our money elsewhere. Move on from Trent and Alex Smith ASAP, cut Norman, and hope that Landon Collins gets back to who he was in 2017. Those are the places we are currently wasting a tremendous amount of money.

Skinsinparadise Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Interesting, left side out doing the right side thus far in the running game. I am definitely a Scherff guy, not Moses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Tweets like that bother me to no end. People trying to save their jobs with an average 2019 season is the reason we're not trading Trent? WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TRENT! Even if he shows up... are we REALLY going to have him? C'mon!! I'm generally calm about a lot of this stuff, but this is beyond frustrating. I realize my frustration is misplaced with the tweeter, but the trigger for me is he's probably dead nuts correct on some of the FO's logic on it and it's maddening.

Skinsinparadise Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 The idea that this team is only a buyer and not a seller of veterans for high draft picks is a proven fact during Dan's whole tenure. They only at times dump failing veterans for low draft picks here and there. But it's never a high end veteran for a high draft pick. It's just about always win now with him. I'll give that its not to the same extreme that it was in the past but there is still a strong enough element of it. Some on other threads have tried to make the case that they are rebuilding whether they say it or not. I disagree. I saw somewhere there are 19 teams with younger rosters than we got. I get the rebuild point that some make. Yes there are elements of rebuilding in that we are drafting well and letting those young players play. But otherwise this isn't a rebuild. Dan has never rebuilt. It's a halfway version of it IMO, and i'll give that it leans towards a rebuild but its nothing heavy. The reason why I want to make this point as part of the backdrop of this is that I don't think Dan rolls with the idea that a veteran is worth trading if they can contribute now. He either doesn't buy the Patriot way or can't stomach it. Trent is oddly doing the Redskins a massive favor (as for a future play). You have an opportunity to go way cheaper and younger at LT in a draft that is likely (granted it not a slam dunk) incredibly rich at that position. Yes, they are better now with Trent than they would be accruing draft picks for 2020 but for once don't roll that way Dan. I doubt most of the fan base would prefer a 7-9 season that much over a 5-11. It's not that big of a deal, Dan. 😀 That's why to me watching how they deal with Trent is fascinating. Because you got two elements in play that I don't like about this FO -- the potential spiteful element and the future is now element which IMO hasn't completely gone away. They maybe can get a guy like this or him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 They're not better now with Trent. Anyone care to guess why? HE'S NOT PLAYING! Sorry. I'm triggered with this stuff this AM. I'm just so tired of seeing a relatively talented roster be squandered. It's not the losing... Dallas and Philly have good football teams and they deserve credit... It's how we lose. And roster management is a big, big part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I don't mean it that literally and it does make it even more comical. According to some who cover the team the FO thinks Trent plays eventually. So let's say 10 games of Trent in 2019 is more meaningful to them than a draft pick or two who won't play until 2020. That's now how I think they should roll. but there are some who suspect that's what they are thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
