someone had me eating prunes and then 'misplaced' my walker
i'm irritable and you're always an easy target 
the short term memory is the first to suffer - in the case of the Redskins roster that's a good thing  |

From the Keim article that Red1 posted in the Griffin improvement thread.
http://washingtonexaminer.com/sports/redskins-confidential/2012/05/redskins-notes-and-analysis/581011
| Quote: | | Free agent corner Chase Minnifield said he had no idea his microfracture surgery in January took him off teams’ draft boards. “It was the longest weekend of my life,” Minnifield said of last week’s draft. “I didn’t realize teams took me off until after the draft was over. … But my game will speak for itself when it’s all said and done.” |
As others have said, I'm fully on board with this guy being the biggest surprise of this "Draft" class either just after or tied with Robinson a few years down the road.
| Quote: | | Third-round pick Josh LeRibeus spent almost all of his time working at center, after having played guard at SMU. His college coach, June Jones, said that’s the position he ultimately thinks LeRibeus will play because of his smarts. “He picked it up in one day like he’s been doing it his whole career,” Shanahan said |
Again, I can see this guy pushing for playing time at C by the end of the year and moving Monty to back up or over to a stiff competition with Lichtensteiger. In any event, I think he is going to bolster the interior of our line depth wise from game 1.
I actually think the line is going to be vastly improved depth wise and in terms of competition for the starting slots. |

| What I like about the players coming onto our O-line... most seem to have a rep of playing with a chip... like somebody said something bad about momma... These are guys who will take getting beat very personally... |

just to add to that - we all know how important having a good offensive line can be and to have quality depth is equally important
this line is just starting to come together and as the QB grows into the great one he's going to be .... so will these guys
this is exciting times for all of us
I'm not expecting miracles but .... the offense and defense will be a lot better than last season |
