2. The Reality Is, change is coming on the offensive line.

The offensive line for Washington has been inconsistent in good moments this year, and abysmal in some key spots. While Morgan Moses and Chase Roullier have played pretty consistently, and Wes Schweitzer has filled in admirably at right guard, Wes Martin has looked downright awful for the majority of the season, and he’s not getting much help to his left from Geron Christian.

While Christian has honestly outperformed the expectations most had for him this season, Martin has been a major disappointment after he seemed to handle himself decently last season in limited opportunities. Between Saahdiq Charles getting close to ready and Brandon Scherff officially coming off IR, it’s safe to say some offensive line shuffling is imminent.

My Prediction: Charles gets a chance at LG this Sunday against New York and starts aggressively pushing Geron Christian for the LT spot with Wes Schweitzer ready to fill in at left guard with Scherff returning against the Giants.
