"Brandon Washington continued to get the reps with the first-team at left guard."

I don't get this. Unless it is just a loyalty thing. I have seen about 2 quarters where Washington played pretty well and that was at T last preseason. Outside of that he has been a revolving door.

I concur very concerned if reference to this again maybe the coaches see something we don't, but against the Raiders Washington struggled in pass protection and over the years this has been a constant issue for him again when Fisher says things like this why not a question as to who will replace him and why?

If Fish responds "Brandon Washington." Then how about a follow up question like..."Washington seem to struggle in pass protection against the Raiders and has struggled in that area since he's been a Ram, what is the plan if it continues against the Titans?"
