“We’re both from San Diego,” O’Connell said. “When Alex was a senior in high school, I was a junior. We played against each other in some passing tournaments, never in a real game or 7-on-7’s and stuff. I’ve known Alex for a long time.

“You know, what we went through at tackle last year was catastrophic with all the injuries and still a lot of these guys are recovering from their injuries,”Gruden said. “Trent [Williams] is recovering still, Morgan [Moses] is still recovering, Ty [Nsekhe] is still recovering, we have TJ [Clemmings] still recovering.

– The Redskins figure to keep either 6 or 7 defensive linemen, but with this being another position with a higher injury rate, they are probably lean towards the latter. Allen, Payne and Ioannidis figure to play the majority of the snaps and be the key to the defensive line.

Settle was a steal in the 5th round and he has the potential to be a serious contributor down the road. Even as a rookie he can help bolster the run defense.
