PFF graded McRib positively the last 7 games and is recommending the team bring him back.

Is also recommending resigning Potroast.

Recommending not resigning DY. The article doesn't mention his contributions on all aspects of special teams.

An 8 year old would agree with the other recommendations.

The author speaks with a British accent so he is smart. Just sayin.

EDIT: I personally disagree with all 3 of those, but I'm not British.

Redskins dont need to add a starter along the OL, but will seek depth - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN (http://espn.go.com/blog/washington-redskins/post/_/id/23657/redskins-dont-need-to-add-a-starter-along-the-ol-but-will-seek-depth)

Good article bout the Oline and insight to the center position. makes sense if long is given a big opportunity.

Long at center is a total unknown and wont be a known until well after the draft.
We need to draft a center in the third round.

Yep.

My concern with Long at C is he didn't exactly blow people off the line at LG last year. I feel he has to step his game up to be a decent Guard.

Now, mix in that he will be learning a new position....it just seems like a lot to expect.

I'd be grabbing a Center in round 3 if it was up to me.

Long is plenty strong, big, and mean. He has the physical tools, he was lacking on the technique.

His hands were slow and inconsistent getting into the defender.

Guards need the quickest hands on the OL.

We were one play away from him stepping in as C for a large part of 2015 when McRib was the starter.

I agree it doesn't inspire confidence because there is no history there, but I think the coaches will take a look at him at C this summer.

Yeah I'm not against grabbing a center in the draft. I'm squarely in the camp of moving on from Kory L regardless. I'd keep my eye on A Reiter who we drafted in the 7th last year as well. That wasn't a throw away pick.

This years center class is top notch. I'd grab one, but I'd put my money on the one we pick have versatility to play guard as well.

I'd thought keim point to say left guard position is wide open is interesting.

Someone posted SM likes to draft an OL every year as depth and potential...future.
HE is my hero......

Exactly. Third round = HOFer.

Wait what?

I agree with the first part of your statement but idc which round he is drafted in, as long as McC thinks the guy is good.

RGIII has nothing to do with any of this.


Hasnt been part of the equation for a country year now....

Exactly. Third round = HOFer.

Yes ... But ...we need need need to go D heavy. So maybe the first couple rounds should be on lockdown as far as offense. We need secondary and DL/edge rusher / mlb sooooo bad.
