6. Reality Is: The right side of the offensive line needs to show massive improvement this week.

Morgan Moses had three accepted penalties against Philly and two more that were declined. He also whiffed on several stunts in pass pro and struggled to block the back side on several run plays. Scherff was mostly a stud as usual, but still participated in several miscommunications on stunts with Moses, and got blown up a couple times by Fletcher Cox.

The Redskins need their right side to show out against Dallas to have any chance to move the ball consistently on Sunday. Another inconsistent day from their two best active offensive linemen will spell trouble for both the ground and air games.
