The Washington Redskins have long had issues at the left guard position. For the past five seasons, Shawn Lauvao has served as their Week 1 starter while dealing with quite a few injury issues. The team finally decided to move on from him this offseason and has added a couple of candidates to replace him.
First, the team signed former Giants and Jaguars offensive tackle, Ereck Flowers, in free agency. The plan for the squad was to move him to the guard position and try to get the most out of his athletic ability there.
