Redskins eyeing Mulitalo? <Mar. 9> The Redskins, who are still looking for a more proven replacement for departed left guard Derrick Dockery, are trying to set up a visit from Mulitalo, The Washington Post reports.
Mulitalo, an eight year starter with the Ravens, is believed to have a strong desire to remain in the area. His children go to school in the Baltimore area and he is active in local charities.
The Redskins also have been in contact with the representatives for offensive linemen Adam Timmerman, Zach Piller, Zach Wiegert and Sean Mahan, according to The Post.
Mulitalo has a good combination of size, play strength and athleticism. He is tough, competitive and experienced. He has been pretty durable. He is a road grader type who is at his best working in a confined area. He can use his size to engulf defenders. He is quick off the ball and into run-blocking patterns. He has good functional strength and works hard to maintain position and generate a push at the line. He has above-average balance and control when sustaining blocks. He can be effective on reach and cutoff blocks. He can adjust and stay in control off combination patterns. He can pull short and block in space. He has good feet and balance in pass protection. He can bend, slide and change directions pretty well. He can anchor against power and maintain pocket depth. He has active hands. But Mulitalo has short arms and lacks consistency in pass protection. He has an inconsistent punch and will give up the outside edges. He tends to lunge, overextend and bend at the waist. He struggles to reset his hands on moving targets and doesn't recover well. He has limitations on long pulls.
He's in Detroit and scheduled to be in Seattle over the weekend. We are prob going to have to pony up for him, but we do have the advantage of not making him travel far and having to relocate his family
