Since it has been pointed out that the remaining playoff teams have solid OL's does anyone know if one of their OL coachs might jump ship to the Redskins? Russ Grimm maybe (although I don't know how we make that happen with a new title since he is already assistant head coach/OL)

#1- Grimm under contract so I doubt he leaves the Cards.
#2- Grimm I don't think teaches the zone/cut blocking method.
#3- Grimm is already Asst. HC/OL coach. His only promotion will be to HC.
#4- Can we all stop mentioning Grimm and this team in the same sentence? Unless DS gets a brain fart and completely fires everyone Grimm will not be here. Sorry, I couldn't think of a soft way to let you all down.

On a side note I thought I heard last night at the end of "Redskins Insider" or whatever was on Comcast that Shanahan would be finalizing his coaching roster today, Tues. Jan 19th. I hope it's complete and we pick up a decent OL, and WR coach.

I wasn't really lobbying for Grimm, I was trying to use him to make a point that the current playoff teams may have someone we would want to look at hiring. I agree with points 2 and 3 completely, I think #1 and 4 are inter-related, in that Grimm might have liked to be back with the Skins, and Allen might have liked the historical reference.

I haven't heard many names for OL, so I was trying to think where they might be getting one from, and the 4 remaining playoff teams all looked like solid resources who we might not have had a chance to conduct interviews with yet. If they are naming the rest by today like you thought you heard, than that would probably not be the answer.

I haven't heard of anyone either. The two top picks got picked up so my next question is who else in the Pro ranks teaches zone/cut blocking? If there are none then who at the college level teaches zone/cut blocking? Again if cut blocking is not being taught then we might have to either learn to work around that or we are screwed.

I just wish someone could provide a list of zone/cut blocking OL coaches.
