Grubbs is actually mobile AND was drafted to play for current Skins OL coach C. Foerster in BAL

Sounds like about as good of a fit as Eric Winston would be here.


IF we signed Grubbs I would expect us to trade Chester back to Baltimore

Winston is. No idea about Grubbs. He's 6'3", 310 pounds if that helps answer the question.

as far as i know, winston hasnt expressed interest in us and we havent in him (likley due to his asking price and our not being able to afford him after the other owners screwed us out of 18MM).

i looked back over his draft profile and he was referred to as a "pure guard" a number of times. who knows though.

On twitter people who were listening to Eric Winston talking on Sirius sports radio heard him say that he knows his best success would be in the Zone Blocking Scheme. Miami isn't a ZBS team. I don't know about the Chiefs and Rams either. I KNOW we have inquired about him, so we'll see.

pretty sure neither rams or chiefs run zbs; however, theyre probably willing and able to pay more than us. in the end, these things usually come down to money. if we could restructure some contracts (like trent williams) to make room for it, id be thrilled.

Re: 2012 Redskins Free Agency Tracker

Nice... thanks matty. still, my thinking is that if the ravens offered him a very good deal, then we'd have to up the ante to get him here. OG is not a position i think it would be wise to pay through the nose for. id rather go with what we have and draft someone to develop in the 3rd.

Maybe Griffin's running ability will actually help us get by with a lesser line.






Or, he'll end up with broken ribs like Vick.

Adam Schefter ‏ @AdamSchefter

Eagles free-agent G Evan Mathis drawing interest from Colts and Redskins. Some consider him one of league's most under-rated players.

Re: 2012 Redskins Free Agency Tracker

Chris Russell said last night we really wanted him but I had never heard of him before. He'd definitely be cheaper than Grubbs.
