Do you think every team has a back up Pro Bowl Tackle and Guard? You can blast the team for betting their luck with Luvao, but this is just ridiculous IMO.

When Kouandjio went down, who replaced him?

Also Gruden gambled carrying 8 o-linemen, and that gamble lost big. This is on Gruden for not having adequate backups.

I was whining because it's 2018, in an offensive tilted league when your D that carries the squad can't do their jobs you have no shot in hell of winning games. We've seen it 3 times this year.

Agree on everything you said.

You think backups can overcome losing both Trent and Scherff?

This is what we started the year with:

LT Trent Williams
LG Shawn Lauvao
C Chase Roullier
RG Brandon Scherff
RT Morgan Moses

Backups:
Swing tackle Ty Nsekhe
backup to the backup Geron Christian (too young to hold his own, needs time)
Interior lineman Tony Bergstrom
C Casey Dunn (rookie undrafted free agent who probably needs a year + before he ever sees the field)

So in reality, after Kouandjio and Catalina (aka garbage) went down, you were relying on Bergstorm to backup everybody on the interior o-line.

Now we have to rely on someone who should never see the field to play significant minutes in Scherff's spot, assuming Bergstrom stays at LG.

God forbid we lose Roullier and we have to play Dunn. And our new o-line reserves will be street free agents who will have to learn the system.

Smith has looked bad behind our entire starting o-line, we're about to find out how much worse it can get.

Kudos to Gruden having an adequate backup who knows the system in Nsekhe. He's no Trent but by far the best backup we have.

I fully blame Gruden for putting his faith in Bergstorm being able to cover all 3 interior line spots in case 1 goes down.

We thought the O was hard to watch before

Ugh, for real.

they didn't . . . luvao was the backup plan when Kouandjio went down . . . lol . . . yes, i agree they should have drafted someone.

[PorkSkins]

By the way, it's spelled Lauvao.

This has to be more than just coincidence or bad luck. I am pretty sure the Redskins have had more than their share of injuries for many years. What it is I do not know. Every time I watch the Redskins play no matter home or away they seem to get up slow, grimace in pain, get helped off the field, etc, etc twice as often as the other team, week in and week out. What the hell is going on?

Freakin' scary.

They may have to snap the ball to Smith in punt-formation to keep him upright.

Honestly, I'd also take a stab at Dez Bryant right about now.

What pisses me off is that the Scherff injury was due to a cheap shot.
