Jay Gruden didn't hesitate when naming the starting quarterback for the (it's ) earlier this week. Now Keenum knows which players will be blocking for him on the left side of the offensive line come Oliver Bjorkstrand Jersey Week 1. A day after revealing will be the starting left tackle, Gruden said will be the starting left guard."Right now, Ereck Flowers is the left guard," Gruden said . " is going to get a lot of reps in this game coming up. He's done a good job learning the offense and coming in as a rookie, he's done a lot of good things. We have some other guys competing as well, but right now that's where we're going."Flowers is the most experienced of the candidates (in terms of experience) at guard, despite learning the position for the first time this offseason. Flowers was taken by the with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2015 and spent his first four seasons in New York before he was released. He was then picked up by the , where he got another chance to start. Flowers has struggled David Savard Jersey mightily at the tackle position since entering the NFL, allowing an average of 53 pre sures, 38 hurries and five sacks a season. Flowers was never able to recover from a disastrous rookie season in New York while he allowed 69 pre sures, Liam Foudy Women Jersey five sacks and 17 quarterback hits in 616 pa s-blocking snaps.After the moved Flowers to right tackle last season, they benched him for good after allowing 11 pre sures in 98 pa s-blocking snaps. New York released Flowers soon after, and he received a second chance in Jacksonville, allowing 27 pre sures and two sacks in 255 pa s-blocking snaps for the at left tackle. Flowers has had his share of struggles with the Redskins, the most notable being this mi sed block in the third against the , which went viral on Twitter last week. OMG Ereck Flowers... Jordan Dajani (@JordanDajani) Flowers has shown some progre s in the run game too, not all doom and gloom at his new Alexandre Texier Jersey position. IDK how I mi sed this until now but look at Ereck Flowers (77) mauling a dude at the POA on Adrian Peterson big run. Chris Ru sell (@Ru sellmania621) Flowers may be a bridge for Martin, the left guard from Indiana whom the Redskins Riley Nash Kids Jersey selected in the fourth round of April's draft. Martin started the final 37 games of his collegiate career and was named a William V. Campbell Trophy semifinalist as well as an Honorable Mention All-Big Ten by the coaches and media. Martin has the toughne s to play physical on the offensive line, but needed to improve on his drive blocking in his rookie season. Gruden may just be giving Flowers the opportunity to start until Martin is ready. If Flowers performs well, it's a win-win for Gruden and the Redskins.
