Final Thoughts

In a way, the Washington Football Team offensive has been as expected. The left side has struggled, although Wes Schweitzer shows he can be quality depth. Chase Roullier has been solid like usual and Brandon Scherff has been really good and at times elite.

However, what has made the offensive line better than previously expected, is the improvement of Morgan Moses. The improvement of Moses has made the right side of the offensive line a strength of the Washington Football Team.

The left side is still a concern, specifically the left tackle. As expected, entering the season a left tackle will be a huge need for the Washington Football Team in the 2021 offseason. Expect them to either sign a veteran or select one in the draft very early.

The improvement of Moses is happily welcomed. However, the line still has a lot of improving to do and is a long way from being elite. Adding depth and addressing the left side of the line will be paramount in the 2021 offseason.
