I'd been hearing that Royster's strength seemed to be with pass blocking this summer...and then I read this
Redskins Roster Hopefuls: Evan Royster « CBS Washington (http://washington.cbslocal.com/2011/08/10/redskins-roster-hopefuls-evan-royster/)
Seems like that's where he thinks he may have an advantage if he works hard at it

The Redskins carried four running backs at times last season right? Three active guys and one inactive?
I think Royster has the potential to make the roster as the fourth guy. If K-Wil really is moving to fullback, anyway. I think people are underestimating him, and what I've heard bout him coming out of camp has been mostly positive. And he has a leg up in blocking.
Torain's out, it seems, until at least week 2 with his injury. Boom. That's Royster's roster spot right there. He might at least be active that first game.
Helu's got the speed, but Royster's got the vision and the pass blocking. I think this is one of the more underrated position battles there is.

And it's been only recently that practice reports have included that drill, meaning probably hasn't been a primary focus until then

Keep in mind that Shanahan thinks of Evan as Terrell Davis.

Keep in mind that Shanahan declared that he trusted mike bell to be his guy in preseason, and then said it took 6 months for him to trust TD.

looks like Tim H. will get the starting RB job
