Yeah, that's what I meant. He went in for Jansen at RT originally. But Zorn says LT is his 'natural' position . . .
Stephon Heyer has been directly responsible for two safeties so far this season. He was blown up by Peppers in the Carolina game at RT for a safety & again Sunday against KC at LT causing Collins to be sacked in the end-zone. This guy plays like what he is, an undrafted free agent. He just happens to be all we have right now, hopefully not the best we can get.
I heard Gil Brandt today on NFL radio saying he didn't like the Levi Jones signing, he thought the Skins should have raided some practice squads and brought in some potential diamonds in the rough, he named a guy on the Giants PS I forget who though.
A few minutes later though he said he likes Vinny and thinks he's a good football guy who "knows what he's doing", so take his thoughts with a serious grain of salt.

I agree, but in the NFL you need 22 talented guys, not 9.

I just don't see why we picked up Wynn when we needed O-lineman? I just wish if they decided to pick up a defensive player they would have picked up a SLB and moved Orakpo to DE solely.
I'd say it's likely because we're more looking for people that could contribute now and whoever we'd sign on o-line will still be available if we need them later in the season. Of course that means that they won't be game conditioned or familiar with our playbook though.

I take it that he doesn't expect to be back.

Watch Heyer during the Collins safety again. He commits a false start that wasn't called and still couldn't protect with that advantage. We're 6 weeks in and our OL is in shambles...almost laughable if it wasn't my team.

The Jones move is solid. But is Ganther really better than Mason?
Ganther is not better than Mason; they didn't give Mason enough carries to see if he was any good.
It wasn't about Mason's running ability, it was due to his limitations in picking up blitzes.

Well looking at the quote he didn't say it in the "Dan Snyder is the equivalent of Steinbrenner" way that it would seem. His quote was toting the company line in that the Redskins have as much talent as the Yankees.
