Relevance to the Redskins

I don’t need to dwell on this for long. The Redskins have a No. 77 currently who is not great. He’s a force as a run blocker when healthy, but as a pass blocker, he’s a liability, and rarely does he stay on the field. Factor injuries into the equation, and the Redskins current No. 77 doesn’t seem to be a valuable mainstay.

The Redskins decided to bring back the old No. 77 for the 2018 season once Arie Kouandjio went down with a season-ending injury. It is now becoming clear that No. 77 needs a change. No. 77 needs an upgrade.

Patrick Vahe might be the No. 77 the Redskins need.
