Projected Lineup... Your thoughts?

[skinsfaninok]

Projected 2014 starters: Washington Redskins - NFL.com

looks like a good lineup to me, I think our d will be much much better..

[Alvin Walton]

Two rookies on the O-Line?
They gonna give it to Long right away?
Oh boy.....here we go.

[Irrefutable]

it might be the mid-season line-up, but not game 1

is the defense playing a 3-3-5 ?

I think the only big change we'll see is possibly Long over Chester. Moses will take a little while to develop and even with a new regime, I imagine they'll go with experience over potential (at least initially).

Agreed. I think you'll have Polumbus playing most of the year; still need to see how the young guys look; but it would be pretty shocking to see two rookies on the same side of the line.

Also, that defense is missing a glaring spot and thats the ILB next to Riley. They kind of copped out on that and just added an additional corner. Hopefully Robinson can stay healthy. Thats the one position I was very surprised we did not address.

if they cut Chester before the season starts they can save $2.7 million dollars... whether it is Long or LeRebius on day 1 it doesn't mater

I think there is a chance a good veteran player could be put on waivers after the final cut, and the Redskins will be second in line to claim him, if they have cap space ... another good O lineman, or D lineman would help

The offensive line-up looks realistic except for having two rookie starters on the same side of the line as others have said. I could see maybe Long getting into the starter position early on in the season but Moses will be a late season/next year starter IMO.

The defense is intriguing, 3-3-5 sounds exotic! LOL I think it will look something more like this:

DE: Jason Hatcher
NT: Barry Coffield
DE: Jarvis Jenkins/Trent Murphy

OLB: Ryan Kerrigan
ILB: Perry Riley
ILB: Keenan Robinson/Trent Murphy
OLB Brian Orakpo

CB: Deangelo Hall
CB: David Amerson
FS: Ryan Clark
SS: Brandon Merriwether

I think they'll move Murphy around the line and maybe even put him at ILB on blitzing plays every now and then.

At corner I believe Amerson will make that jump in year two and become a solid starter for us. The guy had relatively good stats for a rookie corner with 10 Passes Defended, 2 Interceptions (One returned for TD), and a forced fumble along with 40 solo tackles. He's got good size and seems to be learning and really came on strong at the end. I'm hoping with him being a bigger bodied corner he can help mentor Breeland to play at the same level.

Now if we could get safety addressed in the next year or so we may have a decent secondary forming up along with a good pass rush.

Trying to figure out why people think Moses wont start day 1

[skinsfaninok]

Yeah I mean I think we should go moses game 1. Can he be any worse than what we had out there last yr?

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

I also think Moses and Long start game 1, our right side was utter crap last season, no reason why Long and Moses cant beat out Polombus and Chester

[TheMalcolmConnection]

My biggest thing is that I hope the best players get a shot. For me, it started with Gibbs 2.0, they had their guys, they drafted guys, and the drafted players had almost no shot. Don't draft a guy if you have no intention of giving them game experience. Most people thought LeRibeus acquitted himself pretty well against Seattle. I'm not advocating for someone to play based on draft status, but was there any reason that Gettis/LeRibeus/Compton shouldn't have gotten some game experience (ESPECIALLY when RG3 was shut down)?

IMO, you'll never know what you get in late round draft picks if you don't play them. Maybe they bust, but maybe you get a diamond in the rough. I mean hell, would we even know Alfred Morris's name if it wasn't for injury?

[FRPLG]

With a new coaching staff there's bound to be some unpredictable shakeup. Considering the focus on the OL so far it seems likely they aren't that impressed by what was on the field last year so I wouldn't be surprised by anything there outside of LT.

[skinsfaninok]

Let's hope moses is half as good as trent is. Btw I wonder where he will be rated on the top 100 list? I'd say 50 ish.

[SmootSmack]

I don't see Moses starting. I think the right side on opening day will be Gettis and Polumbus.

I also think Chris Baker will start over Jenkins, who to be honest I wouldn't be surprised doesn't make the final roster

[skinsfan69]

Put the best players on the field, regardless of draft status, age or contract. I know we all want the young guys on the field. However, if Chester shows up and plays better than Gettis or Long then he should start. If Moses outplays Polumbus then he should start. I really hope Gruden takes a page from Pete Carroll and preaches pure competition. This team won 3 games last year. No jobs should be safe.
