2012 Redskins Free Agency Tracker

Ive seen a few sites referring to our interest in Ben Grubbs, I would have thought hes a bigger guy then Shannahan wants, but cant deny the guy can block. Maybe having a fast qb makes it not as much of an issue (even luck is fast for a qb)

He is already familiar with ZBS, so I think it might make sense to try and make a play for him. We've been lacking a solid oline for the longest time, it would be nice to have another solid building block.

I know I might be in the minority here, but I feel like the O-line was less than stellar, but more of the problem was WR and QB. I feel like teams started to stack the line and dare us to throw realizing we don't have any threats if you take away the run game. Also, the Beck games really inflated the sack numbers.

Completely agree. I think RG3 will mask a significant portion of the deficiencies of the O-line, but I'm still not comfortable with that ragtag group of players going out there...

I more or less agree with you. The OL is much better than when Shanny got here. And our new QB may make last year's line look better all by himself. While the line still needs improvement, it is better than other pieces made it look last year.

Saints land replacement for Carl Nicks, sign Ben Grubbs to a five-year, $36 million deal, including $10 million signing bonus.

7mil/yr for a guard? No thank you.

good. hes too expensive for a postion that isnt as dire of a need. i'd much rather sign the eagles backup on the cheap and go hard after winston to play RT.

I think we are going to have deal with a meh secondary. Hopefully and improved offense and a more experienced front seven will help to overcome that defficiency (see GMen)

You are probably right on that one. I don't think we will make a push for anyone beyond the CB out of NY and Meriweather.

Possibly. Hopefully our offense will starting putting points on the board and the d will be playing with a lead most of the time, which will allow Kerrigan/Orakpo to tee off on people.

Didn't want Grubbs anyway... Wasn't a fit for the Zone Blocking Scheme

Grubbs did play in the zone blocking scheme with former oline coach that is here (i thought I remember hearing that from somewhere)
