Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera remarked earlier this week that the right side of the offensive line is virtually set, with Morgan Moses, Brandon Scherff, and Chase Roullier holding it down at their respective positions.
While that may give confidence to those players, knowing that they just need to focus on keeping their spots, there are a number of fans who have routinely questioned the production from Moses, the homegrown RT who signed a heft 5-year deal back in 2017. Moses has been incredibly reliable as far as availability goes — he hasn’t missed a start since his rookie season — but he is oft-penalized, with his false start and holding numbers risingSteve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports over the past few seasons.
Going into 2020, Moses knows that he has a new coaching staff coming in that he will have to earn his respect with, and he’s doing everything he can this offseason to make sure that happens.
Morgan Moses said that he's dropped 13 pounds this offseason and is at 317 right now. He said OL coach John Matsko said that the group has been well coached, which was a relief that he doesn't have to change too much in year 7.

"I'm a veteran guy, and I still have a lot to prove to this new coaching staff." Morgan Moses about doing what he needs to do on the field.

The weight loss will definitely help Moses’ longevity as he enters this later stage of his career, and I’m sure the new OL coach John Matsko will stress discipline among his front five. If those two things can join hands, Moses is definitely a top candidate to act as a reliable veteran for Washington over these next few seasons, hopefully being rewarded by some success down the road.
