The team has resodded the field in recent years, but the reconstruction, which will begin Monday and will be led by head groundskeeper Pete Benevento, will include the removal of not just the grass layer but 14 inches of topsoil and subsoil. That’s approximately 5,000 cubic yards of earth — the capacity of 500 dump trucks — and will strip the field down to a heating system that Bloyer said still works as intended.
“We’re moving the existing irrigation system, the existing drainage system,” said Bloyer, who is overseeing the project. “(We’re) replacing all of that with brand new systems and then new sod. Renovations in prior years were sod and some element of the root zone. This is an entire renovation down to the bottom — down to the foundation, if you will, if you think about it like a house.”
I’d imagine Philly being close to home helps.
19. RYAN FITZPATRICK, WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM
Fitzpatrick continues to play his best football the longer he stays in the league — the veteran ranks 15th in PFF passing grade since 2018. Last year in Miami, he had the team rolling until Brian Flores took the QB room for a rollercoaster ride. It's rare for a veteran quarterback “placeholder” to join a solid football team, but this will be the best team Fitzpatrick has been on in quite some time. Fitzpatrick brings energy, leadership and a wealth of knowledge to a locker room, but his Achilles heel is protecting the football. If he is able to play smart and deliver on explosive plays, Washington will be a playoff contender.
19 sounds about right.PFF Quarterback Rankings: All 32 starters ahead of the 2021 NFL season | NFL News, Rankings and Statistics | PFF
Dak is 7, Fitz is 19, Daniel Jones is 20, Hurts is 31.
19 is about 11 or 12 spots higher than they ranked last year so I’ll take it. Average to above average QB play and this team should be fun to watch every Sunday.19 sounds about right.
He publicly backed Trent during Trent’s BS dispute a couple years ago. Moses has 2 years left on a team friendly deal so he probably wants a new contract as well. He is one of the last links to the shit Bruce culture. Time to go.I’m fine with Ron picking his own guys. Maybe he has a bad attitude after years of playing with Trent Williams and under Jay

Lucas played LT last year but he is more a RT and Cosmi and Charles can play RT as well. The team has options.
It sounds from Keim like Moses requested a trade if the team wasn't going to extend him. Seems like they're doing him a solid.
WTF? I mean I've heard it said its better to move on from a player a year early than a year late, but Moses has been our most dependable OL, fighting through all kinds of injuries, for half a decade now. Who would they pencil in to start at RT then? Lucas, who played well at LT? Cosmi, a rookie?
Don't like this move. Next year, fine! This year, its just asking for reduced depth.
Side effect of overpaying for a teammate on the Franchise tag!
