So much of today’s NFL is based on match-ups, by creating and exploiting mismatches.

"Mike Shanahan has always done a fantastic job of developing quarterbacks. (Donovan McNabb should not count, as Shanahan didn’t get him in his formative stages.) Robert Griffin III is the real deal. The only question is whether he’ll be able to hold up in the long run. I don’t think he’ll have a Cam Newton-like impact in Year 1 — because who does? — but he’ll certainly be a productive player.

The Redskins Blog | 10 For 80: Darryl Grant
Grant came to Washington as a ninth-round selection out of Rice, where listing a position was not easy. He played tackle and center on offense for the Owls and linebacker and nose guard on defense.

Is the left tackle position still important? - Rich Tandler's Real Redskins
Robert Griffin III comes into play in making these decisions. Griffin could be just the kind of quarterback who is helping to make the left tackle position less important. We know about his mobility and his ability to scramble away from trouble could mean that the Redskins could be just fine with an average left tackle with a cap hit of several million dollars per year instead of the eight-figure cap hits that Williams commands.
