This was a very fun game to rewatch - again, and again...and again!
The great part about rewatching these games, is I always pick up on things I missed the first time around. This time, it was the Morgan Moses show. His trainer had told me all summer that Moses was putting in that work, and we frequently talked about this - but I guess I had to see it with my own eyes to believe it.
Aside from Moses, and my Studs and Duds(which I should have had him on), here are a few more observations from the eye in the sky from our game against the Eagles.
I hope you enjoy - and please be active in the comments section!
Positives:
- Dwayne Haskins wasn’t perfect on the afternoon, but he made some big-time throws when he needed to.
Great ball here from Haskins to Sims Jr.! pic.twitter.com/34AdTpZyQD

- I do not think Logan Thomas is TE1, nor do I think he will ever become that, but he showed effort blocking and had a few nice grabs. He may turn out to be a decent TE2 and good transition to a rookie in 2021.
Not gonna lie - this was kinda pretty pic.twitter.com/YbJEY3KEhj

- Morgan Moses played well. Actually, after re-watching the game, he played VERY well. I should have put him on my Studs list.
Nice block by Moses here on Fletcher Cox. Allows Barber to get to the edge. pic.twitter.com/q1q0NUINHy

Wow! Love the effort and finish here by Moses pic.twitter.com/jdsYXcwGHn

- Chase Young is going to be an absolute terror in this league for years to come!
Unbelievable effort play here by Chase Young. And, he had the awareness to knock the ball out as Wentz is going to the ground.

Notice Wentz with that ducking move yet again... pic.twitter.com/ygTo7pgCyO
An offsides penalty negated this play, but my gawd Young’s get-off is amazing! pic.twitter.com/U1jbvqfPXD
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) September 15, 2020
This type of awareness and pursuit for a rookie is rare!
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) September 15, 2020
Chase Young is already a handful! pic.twitter.com/T9mbIOPX5W
- Ryan Kerrigan keeps doing what he’s done his entire time in DC. Coming off the bench in a reserve roll may be a very good thing for his longevity and a very bad thing for opposing offenses.

- Montez Sweat is going to EAT this season! He had a nice game on Sunday.
He’s the 3rd time Wentz tried to “duck” out of a sack.

This one didn’t end to well! pic.twitter.com/kyrBssNIOv
- Fabian Moreau played pretty well on Sunday. Here you see the great read and jump he gets on this interception.
Amazing read and jump here by Fabian Moreau! pic.twitter.com/8Qmc1HLuMw

- Jimmy Moreland came to play on Sunday, and had himself a heck of a game! Just wish he was 2 inches taller.
Here’s Moreland’s INT. Very similar to Moreau’s. pic.twitter.com/H41uIQRb5d

Hell of a play by Jimmy Moreland on this quick screen! pic.twitter.com/nfJPxFctTg

Hell of a play here by Moreland! Young man was OUTSTANDING! pic.twitter.com/L1Tnx02blQ

Negatives
- First year starting left tackle Geron Christian had his ups and downs Sunday - but his downs may have well outnumbered his ups.
Christian comes off the ball slow, stands too high at engagement, and is pushed backwards.

His man makes the tackle. pic.twitter.com/8HIv0jOgNe
This is just not good by Christian. Overall, it was a rough debut. pic.twitter.com/a2oPWdtXKP

Christian beaten AGAIN off the edge. Another quick throw saves a sack. pic.twitter.com/NoCmDcLYhF

Christian and Martin both beaten badly here, but the ball is out quickly so no damage is done. pic.twitter.com/xu5AoPUMWj

- Not sure Wes Martin is a starting guard in the NFL right now. I have had my doubts he can ever become a serviceable option. He was awful on Sunday.
Simply embarrassing here by Wes Martin! pic.twitter.com/ZjQQ7AnXbx
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) September 15, 2020
Not sure what Wes Martin is doing here, but this is completely unacceptable by an NFL starting guard! pic.twitter.com/bgepi0n05z

My goodness Wes Martin! pic.twitter.com/jucV1SrldV

- Troy Apke continues to make the same mistakes that have plagued him throughout his young career.
Apke continues to miss tackles. This is a problem that has plagued him throughout his short NFL career - college too. pic.twitter.com/GQqNc1SujU

Unacceptable by Darby to allow this on 3rd and 22. Can’t bit on a double move.

The left side of Washington’s OL in Week 1 (grade, pos rank):
— PFF Washington (@PFF_Washington) September 15, 2020
LT Geron Christian: 37.9 (Last)
LG Wes Martin: 38.8 (71st of 72) pic.twitter.com/qsRfoutTql
According to Pro Football Focus, Washington’s line allowed 17 pressures on 36 dropbacks — tied for the second-worst pass-blocking efficiency in the league. And of those 17 pressures, Christian and Martin were responsible for nine of them (Five for Martin, four for Christian). https://t.co/eWqozVPOZd
