How much time should Redskins starters get in preseason under Rivera in 2020?

its really a huge dilemma.

you have a new staff , new schemes , a young qb and guys you need to evaluate . and all this has to happen with a 3 week TC

this pandemic really hurts guys like haskins . he struggled as a rookie early and now he has to learn a new system with only 3 weeks of intense snaps . how long do you play him ? allen will need time too and poor montez . what will he get to show?

at RB love is the guy who really gets hurt by this as does AG , the rookie . gibson didnt have a lot of college touches and its tough on 3rd round rookies to play and learn from mistakes and pick up blocking schemes in pass protection . niether one of these kids can play much if they cant pick up blitzs

how does steven sims and harmon's yr 2 go ? usually a player makes his biggest jump in yr 2 but they have had almost no off season . AGG is a 4th round wr from a small school coming off the virus himself . this has to affect him as well . cam sims is a guy who is really hurt by this . isiah wright , a UDRFA will have a hard time getting a chance to make this team

our TE corp is really in a bind because they all need snaps and the OTA's and mini camps would have helped immensely

the o/line with new starting LT lucas new LG martin and a guy like 4th round pick charles wont get the snaps needed to groom him christian is a guy who will suffer as well

a lot of young guys we are counting on to show out this year are at a huge disadvantage . i expect horrible play the first few weeks of the season with missed assignments , poor technique and lousy
communication .

on defense our best guy CY wont get the snaps he should get . some BU edges like brailford and smith williams will have a hard time making the team

stroman , moreland , and johnson will struggle with lack of snaps

hudson and curl , much the same

SDH will suffer greatly learning a new system as will holcomb

bottom line is our team is young and that is good however this off season will stunt the growth of these young guys and they might not contribute as fast as we would like

this is why expectations should be tempered and even my 6 wins i predict could be too bold

Call me crazy but I would play the starters for the 1st half for the 2nd and 3rd pre season games.

Well, teams with vet coaches and established players likely have a leg up on the Skins but every team is in this scenario of a shortened preseason/prep time for the new season. I'm certain by now most if not all players have been in their respective playbooks and know the new system verbiage and coaching detail points by now. Just applying it to the field and real live action will be the challenge. They are football players btw and do this for a living so my expectations are that they are working diligently to overcome the loss of time in preparation for the upcoming season. Adapt and overcome or be the weak link.

In my mind McLaurin has a leg up and everyone else is on equal footing. Guys that RR/KS brought in together might have slight edge on last years guys. I do not see this as some difficult task, they are all learning a new offense and they are all first or second year players.
