Are we a top 10 team?

Lauvao has surrendered 24 total QB pressures so far this season, fourth-most among guards. Spencer Long hasn’t been anything special in the middle, but he does at least represent a huge upgrade over their play at the position a year ago, ranking 22nd in PFF grade, rather than 30th and 36th, as the Redskins centers did in 2015.

I thought we should be higher but PFF does have a point ... we are weak at LG and average at C. They make no mention of only giving up 11 or so sacks so far this year.

Another one of my dumb ideas:

When TW comes back, leave Nsekhe at LT and move TW to LG. That is, if Nsekhe does as well in the next three games as he did last week. Then we would have a truly bad-ass OL.

Feel free to fire away but, before you do, just imagine the inside running game we would have with that lineup.

We wouldnt have to imagine, we saw it. I looked for some video of Trent at guard but found this article that I didnt see before, pretty funny stuff.

“I saw Ty [Nsekhe] coming in so I was like, 'We’ve got ourselves a 6-foot-8 left guard. Alright, we’re going to make it happen,’” Williams said he first thought when the injury occurred. “Then he pointed to me and said, ‘Guard.’ And I was like, ‘What? No, not me.’ He said, ‘Yeah, coach said go to guard.’ I didn’t have much time to debate about it. I just had to do it."

Despite Williams’ experience, making the mid-game change to a new position is a huge adjustment. He was initially a bit reluctant to take on the spot.

“There was no discussion,” Williams said. “I wanted a little debate. I wanted to at least ask a couple questions, but it was a, ‘Hey you’re at left guard. You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. We don’t have anybody else. … I only had 30 second to think about it and I just had to go (with) the flow.”

Despite Never Playing Guard In His Life, Trent Williams Impressed

I would wait until playoffs or must win situation.
We did something similar back in the day with Joe Jacoby late in his career.
We had a very menacing left side of Jim Lachey at LT and Joe Jacoby at LG. It was amazing. We also had Darrel Green returning punts.
