Apparently he's really underappreciated.


Strengths: Mathis is a long, lean and athletic offensive lineman who could play any position in a pinch, although his best position is guard. He plays smart and can handle the opponent with good technique and leverage. Mathis is a good pulling guard and has good vision in the second level to find linebackers to hit. Overall he is a very consistent player.

Weaknesses: Just about the only weakness in Mathis' game is that he's not much of a power guard, but that's not his game. With the help of his center, Kyle Cook, the two can keep the power defensive tackles away from the quarterback. I should note that I've seen him lose his temper ont he field and take an unnecessary personal foul penalty. Off the field, Mathis call it how he sees it. As fans, we love that, but I assume the Bengals front office may not.

Overall Impression: Every time Mathis entered the game, you could sense the difference in the offensive line's play as an entire unit. The entire line was more athletic, didn't have as many false starts and seemed to have more confidence when it was Evan's turn to play. I don't know why he wasn't the full-time starting left guard. He was superior to Nate Livings in almost every facet of the game. Most fans would love for him to return in 2011, but I don't think the Bengals value (or don't know his value) enough to offer him a fair salary. Mathis has played like a starter in the NFL and it's a shame that it hasn't worked in Cincinnati.

Redskins pursuing Ravens’ left guard Ben Grubbs - The Insider - The Washington Post

Don' think this has been posted. I want this guy.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Yeah that title needs to be updated for the SI article.

[REDSKINS4ever]

The Redskins need a play maker in the secondary. If they don't land Brandon Meriweather, then they will have to look to the NFL draft. Maybe, possibly, then can find a shiny gem in the third or 4th round.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Merriweather would make me feel alot better about our saftey positions. Though his personality is not much different then LL's.

[SkinzWin]

I thought meriweather had problems off the field and was a wiffer-type player like d hall? I don't want that

[SkinzWin]

“@granthpaulsen: He'll be 32 on opening day. 8-yr vet has missed 2 games since '05. RT @JasonLaCanfora #Browns announce release of stalwart G Eric Steinbach”

I know he's not In Shannys ideal age range for FAs but only missing two games since 05? He could be a one or two year stop gap until we develop a draft pick or sign someone in FA next year.

[firstdown]

Are there any rumors about London F and are we trying to sign him?

I pray they sign him AND FAT ALBERT to long-term deals. It will assure their failure for the next few years.

so, OL: ben grubbs, eric winston (looking doubtful), evan mathis
WR: royal confirmed yet?
CB: aaron ross (i like)
S: meriweather (i'd imagine we'd be looking at at least 1-2 more guys here)

I imagine our draft is going to be OL/DB heavy, though we'd probably look for one guy (db or WR) that can do returns if royal isn't here.

Still hear Collins and Elbert Mack might be on our list

Rex is so noodle-armed even Collins might be able to chuck it better than Rex can.
