Blalock reminds me way to much of Dockery. Even though the Falcons play a Zone scheme. Also part of it might be that the Shanahan's are looking for continuity on the O-Line. Thats why the only new starter will be Chester. Usually the more time an O-Line gets to together the better they play. Guys learn when to come off combo blocks, who to pick up in pass protection, and many other nuances.
Remember the O-Line played much better near the end of last year, I'm pretty sure the Front Office wasn't exactly eager to blow it up so they could go through the same growing pains.
Still go back and watch the videos I posted of Torain and Williams. Kory L actually had a bit of a mean streak at LG. At this point my only concern up front is Monty and even then I feel good about his prospects. I know Shanny likes finese agile guys, but the guys up front for the Redskins all seem to have a bit of a mean streak.

Plus the cost of living as well as the weather is much nicer in Atlanta then DC. Not to mention Tryfuhls point of playing for a contender. Only thing DC has on Atlanta right now is nicer districts like Alexandria where the streets look like they're paved with Gold. Oh and FedEx field is much nicer (at least inside) then the Georgia Dome.
