spanish_falcon Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 yeah? what are u basing that on?It’s no secret that Redskins right tackle Tyler Polumbus has struggled heavily this year. Despite a dismal 2012 season (-24.6 overall), his first full one with the team, he was able to turn things around in 2013 (+14.0.)This season he’s returned to his 2012 form – currently ranked 65th out 72 tackles with a -13.2overall grade. He’s given up eight sacks so far, tied with Matt Kalil for the most among tackles. He’s not providing much help in the run game either, with ‘red’ grades as a run blocker in four of his seven games.

atljbo Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 when he played under Shanny Secret Superstars 2014: RedskinsOur Secret Superstar series ends with a Washington Redskin offensive lineman whose selection will no doubt surprise, and frustrate, many. Tyler Polumbus was unfairly maligned last season – for his struggles in 2012 and for the fact that the franchise QB Robert Griffin, already wounded coming off ACL surgery, took weekly beatings in 2013. It’s unfair to blame Polumbus for that.An undrafted free agent out of the University of Colorado in 2008, Polumbus was signed by the Denver Broncos, though he would only appear in four games his rookie year, all on special teams. He would find the field properly the following year at right tackle, playing 671 snaps in 11 games with a +3.5 overall grade – though the bulk of that grade came in run blocking and via a lack of penalties.In 2010 he was waived by Denver, claimed by Detroit, and then traded to the Seattle Seahawks where he’d find more playing time, but at various positions. Playing both tackle spots and at left guard, Polumbus earned a -7.0 overall grade. Seattle noticed his poor play, waiving him after only four snaps in 2011.The journeyman lineman was signed by Washington late that year and started at left guard for Maurice Hurt in Week 11 vs. the Cowboys; it didn’t go well with Polumbus earning a horrible -4.2 for that game. He would start three more games that year and still struggled (-9.1 overall for that span), but at least he would end up playing his natural tackle position again instead of guard.2012 SeasonIn 2012, Jamaal Brown was supposed to anchor the right side of the OL, but was placed on the PUP instead. Polumbus would win that right tackle spot and hold onto it throughout the season; the first near-full season in his career (a concussion suffered in Week 15 did cost him the next game, but he returned after that).While he was perfect in pass protection in the Week 1 upset win over the Saints, that would prove to fluky as he would finish with the 51st-ranked Pass Blocking Efficiency rating among tackles who played at least 400 pass blocking snap (only one fared worse).Polumbus did face some fantastic pass rushers that year; Carolina’s Charles Johnson and Cincinnati’s Carlos Dunlap were especially hard on him and his QB. Although the offensive line that year was seen as a strength (as opposed to last year), it was clear that Polumbus was the weak link.2013 First HalfDespite the terrible 2012 effort, Polumbus was signed to a two-year contract the following offseason. Looking at the raw stats of the first game, the blowout home loss to the eventual NFC East Champion Philadelphia Eagles, it would appear he was the same old Polumbus, conceding a sack and four hurries. However, those five pressures were coughed up in 58 pass blocking snaps as the offense spent nearly the entire game trying to overcome a deficit.The rest of the season would find the team similarly struggling to crawl out of a hole in the scoreboard, yet Polumbus began to prove his worth. In the first eight games of the season, he would only allow that one sack, five QB hits, and 12 hurries, earning a spot on PFF’s 2013 Midseason All-NFC East Team.2013 Second HalfThe team continued to struggle with a still-rusty RGIII and then, in the final three games, Kirk Cousins, but Polumbus continued to solidly protect whoever the signal-caller was. He would be responsible for only three sacks, four QB hits, and 16 hurries in the final half of the season, earning only two negatively-graded pass blocking efforts and none in ‘red’.On the year, despite being asked to protect the passer 215 more times than in 2012 and with a QB nowhere near as mobile as was the previous season, Polumbus actually reduced the number of pressures he gave up by 17; that includes cutting his sacks-conceded by half.He would end the season with the 14th-ranked Pass Blocking Efficiency (in regular season only) behind fellow right tackle Andre Smith, yet despite his significant improvement, he did not make the PFF All-NFC East Team at the end of the year. This was because of his consistently poor run blocking efforts, especially in the latter half of the year which included three ‘red’ graded efforts in this area.Still, the undrafted free agent who had been maligned for his turnstile 2012 performance can hold his head high that he showed eye-opening improvement. He was certainly not the reason RGIII took so many hits last year.We probably let him compete at Guard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimitiveJN Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 No way does he take Schraeder's spot unless Schroeder moves to guard. ****, hes just insurance for Holmes, just in case he doesn't work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind Polumbus played decent in Zone for Shanahan. Gruden runs a power scheme. But clearly PFF says he sucks, so he must be bad.

vel Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Lol this guy sucks. It was a familiarity signing. That's all. Barksdale wasn't much better, despite what some around here think. He's 6'8. I dare them to put him at OG. We already tried a 6'7 OG convert. I doubt Polumbus makes the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romfal Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 as much as some of you think theres magical starters out there in FA, there aren't any. Nothing wrong with more depth and competition, plus a veteran that can help the young guys with the scheme. No guarantee Polumbus or anyone we bring in right now makes the 53.
