Heyer Injured

[CRedskinsRule]

My conspiracy theory for Levi. The Redskins told his agent he would get paid starter money if one of two things happens. A) Samuels gets hurt in camp, or B) Williams washes out early. That is why Zorn is pushing Williams into this game. If he can't hold on, he gets cut Levi gets signed, and there is much rejoicing! (not about Williams getting cut as much as Levi getting signed.)

What would Williams have to do with it? Heyer is still penciled in as the starter.

Ok, it's a convoluted conspiracy theory, and not a good one, but here it goes:
The FO doesn't want to pay starting money for a backup (L J)
they bring in MW in hopes he will be effective as a backup (less money and some upside)

they let L J's agent know that there is a potential starting money available to keep him from signing somewhere else

Zorn at this point wants MW gone, but has to prove it to himself and the FO

He puts him in against the Ravens D assuming he will get a good look.

two things could happen:
a) MW succeeds, everyone happy

b) MW fails
Zorn says we need a diff OL and it needs to be L J
Cerrato and Snyder sign Levi Jones
many people happy, feel bad for MW

Really this whole thing is a contrived way to get LJ, or an equivalent player, here to back up Samuels. I am not really thinking RT, Heyer/Bridges will be covering that this year. Buges in one interview said pretty much the same thing, don't stress RT, but he needs a backup for Samuels.

Heyer is the de facto starter cuz we don't have another legit RT on the roster...Levi would/should start over him immediately. Would be a great situation IMO.
