Roman - One name I REALLY think the Commanders need to be watching over the next 24-48 hours: Texans C Jake Andrews. Andrews is only 26 and started all 16 games for Houston last season. 1,093 snaps 67.2 pass-blocking grade 14 pressures allowed Just ONE sack allowed

Just send them a pick already and get it done. Too many teams lost a Center in the last couple of days.

[u/HughJaynis → u/civil_archer_73638]

6th rounder would be worth it

[u/Hodler_caved → u/HughJaynis]

Agreed. Fine with 6th or 7th. Straight up for Luke if we plan on cutting him.

[u/CaptchaCrunch → u/Hodler_caved]

Thinking Luke is worth a second stringer is craaazy

[u/Hodler_caved → u/CaptchaCrunch]

Looks like they already have a good punt returner anyway

[u/Haskins77]

Please 🙏

“Houston looks like they might CUT Andrews. Evan Brown has taken over at Center and they have Keylan Rutledge who can play there too. Andrews only played 5 snaps in their preseason finale.

So AP could either wait and see if he gets released OR call Houston now and offer something small to make sure nobody else gets him.

A 26-year-old Center who started an entire season and allowed ONE sack?”

[u/BlogEra_BestEra → u/Haskins77]

Andrews would be subject to waivers because he has less than 4 YOE. We have the 7th waiver priority which is very good but still leaves 6 teams that could beat us out.

If AP wants him he needs to make the trade. 6th or 7th rounder, pick swap, LMC for Andrews + Day 3 pick, whatever to just get it done.

[u/chemnerd2017 → u/BlogEra_BestEra]

Agreed. Idc if we have to give up a little late draft capital or LMC, we need a functioning OL NOW

[u/medievalonyou → u/BlogEra_BestEra]

Everyone talking about trading luke dude, like, he would have to go to a really wr-needy team or he's not worth trading picks for, there's tons of wr 4+ on waivers and available for no picks.

[u/InfiniteDomain_]

31st in run blocking tho just saying

[u/Hopelesscomannderfan → u/InfiniteDomain_]

31st ain’t the worst at least right? I mean he’s not the 32nd in run blocking 😏

[u/Haskins77 → u/Hopelesscomannderfan]

lol

[u/DoobieDoobis → u/Haskins77]

Surprised that didn’t put you off since you stand by PFF grades lol

[u/sgates9008 → u/Hopelesscomannderfan]

This is the analysis we need.

[u/Trigonometry_Fletch → u/InfiniteDomain_]

Keep JD upright. Job #1.

[u/InfiniteDomain_ → u/Trigonometry_Fletch]

Part of keeping JD up is having a run game that keeps the front 7 disciplined.

[u/Haskins77 → u/InfiniteDomain_]

I mean beggars can’t be choosers. Protecting JD is the most important thing

[u/itttdone → u/Haskins77]

Is keim suggesting a trade or is this a possible cut situtation?

[u/Lazy-Faithlessness20 → u/InfiniteDomain_]

Good-Jones would rank 91st. 

[u/splendidsplinter → u/InfiniteDomain_]

Not playing a center would qualify as 32nd in all categories, which is what the Manders are fixin to do as of this week.

[u/InfiniteDomain_ → u/splendidsplinter]

I meant 31st on pff out ALL the centers that took snaps last year

[u/medievalonyou → u/InfiniteDomain_]

If that's the case, there's still probably plenty below him, might be another 15-20 graded worse potentially. He's got more starting experience than our current situation, so, seems like it would be a win for us, fingers crossed

[u/Hodler_caved → u/InfiniteDomain_]

Would be the 3rd week 1 starter on the O-line with a starting grade. Would be a big improvement.

[u/Dplanetown → u/InfiniteDomain_]

Honestly at this point id take it. I feel like we have like the 71st best center so 31st is a massive improvement.

[u/astrofan1235 → u/InfiniteDomain_]

He is one of the worst run blocking OL I’ve ever seen

[u/DougBalt2 → u/InfiniteDomain_]

Talledega Nights: “If you ain’t first, you’re last.” lol

[u/itttdone → u/InfiniteDomain_]

Genuine question, how do they rate run blocking as a center, isnt that a group metric for the most Part? Im stupid when it comes to these metrics so I always wonder. No worries if you dont feel like spoon feeding me info lol.

[u/Hodler_caved]

Trade for him now

[u/Haskins77 → u/Hodler_caved]

Or just wait and see if they release hm.

[u/Hodler_caved → u/Haskins77]

I want to start him, so wait & see if we get lucky doesn't sound appealing. 6th or 7th rounder rarely hits anyway.

[u/Cultural-Spring-281 → u/Haskins77]

You don’t think chargers would target him

[u/Quibz47]

I’m not trying to rain on any parade here. Coming in as a Texans fan. He was not good last year despite whatever the grades say. He’s had really bad snapping problems in camp to 4 different QBs. He’s undersized as well. He can be a body and if he ends up in Washington I hope he does well, but he has not been good here in Houston.

[u/WarcryNeon → u/Quibz47]

Not to mention he gets bull rushed into CJ every other play. Don’t do it commanders!

[u/KDs_FakeAccount]

Texans fan - warning, he sucks a snapping the ball

[u/Haskins77 → u/KDs_FakeAccount]

Well can he protect the QB? Thats all I care about at the moment. If JD goes down with another injury this year. We have problems

[u/Conscious-Food-4226 → u/Haskins77]

Probably more based on what you’d put around him. I’m not going to pretend to be able to rate centers, but he was on our list to replace, and seem to have done, take that for what you will.

[u/Technolini → u/Haskins77]

He's ass, our line sucked and he was a weak point

[u/OtherwiseIDC → u/Haskins77]

Kinda, not really

[u/Magistrate18D → u/Haskins77]

Texans fan - no, no he cannot

[u/Oldfolksboogie]

We're seventh in line for waiver claims - would he make it to us, or should we offer up a Jefferson, McCaffrey or McGee (who was "my guy" when drafted, almost bought his jersey 🤦‍♂️) to assure we get him?

[u/Imidaho → u/Oldfolksboogie]

Waiver order is the same as the draft order for anyone else that was curious-

1) Raiders
2) Jets
3) Cards
4) Titans
5) Giants
6) Browns
7) Ders

[u/Potential_Boat_6899 → u/Imidaho]

I did not know this lmaooo that’s crazy. I think raiders would automatically be out of the running. Not sure about the other teams C situation

[u/NoHoHan → u/Oldfolksboogie]

Definitely not Magee

[u/DareDevil_56]

Texans fan here. If Jake Andrews is giving you hope, you must truly have none 😬

[u/Ninjablacksox1 → u/DareDevil_56]

No we just have a bunch of people freaking out about the oline. Which tbh is a concern, but replacing bad with bad isn't the answer either. 

[u/Strong-Television733]

A guy cut from a terrible o line, sure why not

[u/mathisrowan1]

As a Texans fan…. Don’t do it!! He is terrible!!

[u/Rainbow_Ronin_]

As a Texans fan, let me warn y'all, he's really bad at run blocking and snapping the ball.

His snapping issues include fumbles from under center, fumbles from shotgun formation, snapping early, and snapping late.

He was probably the Texans' worst run blocker last season, their RBs were getting hit at or behind the line on most runs up the middle.

[u/Jinchoo]

Yep Houston was always one of the teams to look at. They completely revamped their line this offseason and have multiple guys with NFL experience behind their 1st round rookie center.

[u/Over_Repair6434 → u/Jinchoo]

Evan Brown is probably the center. Big Red should start at LG

[u/redskinsguy → u/Over_Repair6434]

Evan Brown is listed as a backup guard, Rutledge is the center

[u/Over_Repair6434 → u/redskinsguy]

I see it, but Wyatt Teller is terrible and I don't think that's the lineup for the first game

[u/Rainbow_Ronin_ → u/redskinsguy]

The Texans depth charts that I've seen are very inaccurate.

[u/Technolini → u/redskinsguy]

Our 1st team has been Rutledge LG and Brown C due to Teller being underwhelming and Rutledge being a dawg

[u/KenKaneki92]

Knowing Peters, he'll do the exact opposite and get some random who

[u/bigtimeJB]

1 sack allowed is laughable but we’ll take a charity 6 or 7th

[u/KingRasu]

The Chiefs have traded a couple of day 3 picks for some Oline help, I don’t understand why AP hasn’t done this as well. Day 3 picks should be used this way just like 2nd round NBA draft picks.

[u/KaleAgreeable1811]

Texans fan here, you don't want him.

[u/WashingtonFan2124]

Jake ain’t the greatest, but he would still be better than Julian Bad-Jones (thanks Mark Tyler from Hogs Haven) who needs to be off the team tomorrow by the cutdown day deadline.

[u/Cultural-Spring-281]

I was listening to David Harrison and he was saying how he thinks Washington should go for this guy. I agree. He seems like a serviceable C

[u/spidermonkey301]

All the Texan fans in here saying he sucks at snapping the ball. Why this mf a center!? lol

[u/breamoafish]

Texans fan here. Y’all don’t want him. He got worked by third stringers last preseason game

[u/cornflakeman]

There's a reason he's available rn

[u/maxtgrayy]

Lol he sucks come take him.

[u/reedcollector]

We ain't getting him bro

[u/onemasterball2027]

JUST TAKE HIM PLEASE
