Gotta hope this guy gets RT right. I liked him early so very happy. Post thoughts or tidbits here.

Hail to the beard!!

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

Id rather have Edwin Moses.

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

Here's to hoping he becomes what we all want him to be!

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

A lot of his negatives seem very coachable. Room him up with silverback.

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

Talented. Hopefully unlike Shanahan, Gruden and company can actually develop Olinemen.

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

Great pick, great value and we still have another 3rd rounder.

Dude moves like Frankenstein. Not impressed with our draft so far.

Are they running drills at the draft?

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

Moses is a legit tackle, physical, great size, long arms, strong hands, footwork. We got a steal in the third. Like him better than tiny, juwan, Cyrus, and Martin at tackle.

R.D. Smith ‏@rd_421 9h
@Manny_PPI every time the Redskins draft an offensive lineman a piece of Vinny Cerrato dies

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

We needed to address the OL and whether or not he pans out, they are at least acknowledging they need help there and trying to take care of it

Good luck kid, got clowney and watt week 1

Watch clips of him dropping into pass protection. He stands pretty tall and seems slow to get into position. I just see him getting burned with a speed rush. Just my 2 cents.

oops lol

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

Welcome to the team Moses, now make us proud.

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

Tremendous pick. Can't coach size, but you can coach his shortcomings. Finally, we have a shot at threatening the right side of the defense with Morris, rather than just having to rely on Trent on the left.

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

Thank the heavens!! We didn't need more LB's, we need to beef up the line. Anything is better than we've had the last 5 years.

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

Note the giant 2 is an indication of the pick number for the round, not the round itself.

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

We had to get a good prospect for the OL. Love the brass balls approach to this pick. Could have taken him in the 2nd let him drop and got him and the best pass rusher with our 2nd.

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

So yeah [URL="http://youtu.be/hQgYMVv35mw?t=3m31s"]this was pretty much me[/URL] right after the Moses pick.

Either way I'm happy not only that we have depth at Tackle but God forbid if Trent misses any games going forward we'll have a guy in Moses that has a good chance to hold down the fort. Polumbus is not as bad as we're making him out to be, and he certainly still has a decent chance to win the starting RT job in the short term but now at least if we start Polumbus it will hopefully be because he earned the job, rather then we really didn't have anyone else.

Also let us not forgot Tom 'straight outta' Compton who actually hails from South Dakota....and Minnesota....damn Canadians, but yeah at least now we're not crossing our fingers on Polumbus getting better or Compton developing.

Crystal Ball Week 1:
[B]Clowney[/B]: Hey Morgan man you want to take this play off

[B]Moses[/B]: Sure, I mean we're to talented to have try hard every play. Going 100% is for guys who can cut at a moments notice

[B]Clowney[/B]: Oh hey did you see my guy yet?

[B]Moses[/B]: Yeah, I really like how he was able to trim my beard just the right amount. That really was an excellent day spa.

Meanwhile on the other side of the ball...
[B]Watt:[/B] SILVERBACK I WILL DESTROY YOU! BE READY FOR A HEALTHY DOES OF PAIN ALL DAY

[B]Williams:[/B] FOOL My blocking has improved 10 fold since last year. My insane conditioning program has made me even stronger

[B]Watt:[/B] Oh yeah WELL BRING IT

[B]Williams:[/B] ALL DAY

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

^LOL.^

I can't sleep, so the WP is going to have me lurking around for a while, sharing opinions that no one is around to rebut or mock. Yes!

Love this pick of Morgan Moses. Kudos to the FO for getting this guy in the 3rd in the fashion they did. Initially, when we were on the board at #34 with Moses still available, I thought that this was an easy pick to make. Phhhht, shows how much I know. Our FO was able to trade back, get a great, high-motor pass rusher, and then still get Moses in the 3rd when I thought he should have been taken with our top-of-the-round 2nd rounder. When a layman like me looks on, it's brilliant. Cheers!

I'm awake now and ready to mock! But not this post.

The FO scared me with this move but it worked out and all is well. I believe that Moses will work hard to improve his technique. Then we'll have those bookend tackles we all crave.

Plus, we got a guard with our second third-round pick! Three picks: three big, tough guys to play in the trenches. Who are these masked men in our draft room?

I was asking myself the same thing.

BAck on topic, I love getting 3 supposedly good guys split between both lines. With our FA pickups and these picks, our line should be much improved. If murphy can contribute to our rush, the defense should see a good jump too.

Here's to hope!

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

The only player that has a chance to start this year.
I like the pick. you aren't going to get elite talent in the early 3rd round.
He is so big I don't care if he is stiff as long as he knows how to get his hands on guys.
You are not going to bullrush this guy. should create a nice pocket for RG3.

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

[quote=Schneed10;1071635]What the F was that? I want my two minutes back.[/quote]

Actual footage of me. Its true that I felt the Moses pick was indeed awesome possim.

In all seriousness though I don't know what the name for the concept is but for some reason since he fell to the 3rd round I don't feel as good about Moses as I would have felt had we picked him up in the second. It almost feels like a higher profile version of Selvish Capers who was projected as a 3rd round pick but fell to us in the 7th round.

It really is completely unfair and I hate when people bring up "x happened for a reason" but unfortunately I'm now asking myself what was the reason? Is his work ethic that bad or maybe occasional waist bending and lunging is predictive of problems to come at the next level?

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

I'm very excited about this pick.....Morgan Moses will be a great right tackle for us.....

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

I'm excited about this guy....he will be the best right tackle the Redskins have had since Jon Jansen.......

Re: Pick 66 Morgan Moses
 

Just praying we can create an OL that can keep RGIII upright. We do that and RGIII will DESTROY defenses.

[QUOTE]Murphy spent the weekend matched up primarily with right tackle Morgan Moses, Washington’s third-round pick out of Virginia. [B]Moses appeared to get the best of Murphy in their matchups on Saturday.[/B] But Murphy said the two had already “been going back and forth,” and that he expected the competition to only help.

Not sure if this reflects well on Moses or poorly on Murphy, but at least a good sign. Too early to tell anything..

I hope you're right. I think he has a very good chance of succeeding. His physical assets are obviously up to par, and with Trent Williams as his mentor there's really no excuse for him to slack off/not put in the effort required to be an effective if not better-than-average tackle.

Thing I like most about him is his character. Seems like a humble guy coming in knowing he has to earn his keep here.

I wouldn't be sure without seeing it, but getting beat a few times as a tackle is a few times too many. Unfair I know, but it's the nature of the position. Gotta be consistently good on every single play. That's why I preferred Moses to Kouandjio because of Kuoandjio's reports of an inconsistent 2013.
