With Callahan it looks like we are going to go to more of a power rushing game with some zone blocking mixed in which is what he used at Dallas
Both Callahan and foerster are both highly regarded around the league if we were going to stick with a zone blocking scheme it would make more sense to have foerster
people writing off long and Moses are doing it prematurely
A couple more Callahan tidbits to gnaw on.
"Callahan has other ties here as well. Running backs coach Randy Jordan had the same position under Callahan at Nebraska. And Roy Helu Jr. and Niles Paul played for Callahan as freshmen in 2007."
This one is more interesting in terms of the Butler's possible usage.
"Two coaches who have faced Callahan over the years say his lines’ tendencies differ greatly from what the Redskins have done the past five years. He’s a power-running guy, and has been both in the NFL and in college. He may have some stretch runs here and there, but for the most part it’s power running and gap blocking schemes. Both coaches thought Morris would fit well into this style. Yes, he’s done well on the stretch runs, as he presses the outside, finds a cutback lane, puts his foot in the ground and runs to daylight. But he’s definitely a downhill runner. His physical approach will serve him well."
"Look for the Redskins to work to get bigger and more physical along the offensive line. Gruden wanted this when he first came to town. It’s a reason why they drafted Spencer Long, who is bigger than both Chris Chester and Shawn Lauvao. Long didn’t overtake either in the lineup despite their struggles. But this offseason could bring a change. Also, the Cowboys believed in investing high draft picks in their offensive line, and it’ll be interesting to see if Callahan brings that same philosophy here."
Interesting question here
"What does Callahan’s arrival mean for an undersized guy such as Lichtensteiger, who did play better at his natural position at center than he did at guard? I don’t know yet. Lichtensteiger is about an inch shorter and 15 pounds lighter than Dallas starting center Travis Frederick. Lichtensteiger worked to add bulk in the last offseason, but it’s too early to tell if he will be asked to do so again this year."
"Callahan’s arrival can only mean good things for Williams. Callahan helped Tyron Smith develop into one of the best left tackles in the game. Williams already is talented, but can get better. He uses his athleticism and ability a lot, but could become more technically sound, and Callahan should be able to help there."
