Money Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Here's a writeup on him from last year: Pass Block40/50You have to like Will Montgomery’s (6'3", 304 pounds, six seasons) agility off the ball in the run game (No. 63 in the photo above). He excels at coming clean and getting into space. While he can struggle to hit on blocks at that level, the agility is impressive. When standing in as an anchor, Montgomery can get walked back, but he does a good job dipping his shoulders and digging in his heels to limit the push.Run Block43/50Montgomery has an ideal makeup for the zone-blocking scheme, as he shows the quickness to move laterally off the ball. His vision off the ball stands out, and he does a good job picking players to block while on the move. Montgomery can get to the second level off the ball, but in man situations, he’ll struggle if a defender shoots his gap early in the play.Overall83/100A top-level zone-blocking center, Montgomery’s agility and quickness are tailored for what the Redskins do up front. While he might not be as effective in other schemes, he’s playing at a Pro Bowl level in Washington. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1444314-br-nfl-1000-2013-top-35-centers/page/29 Almost seems to good to be true.

Money Posted March 14, 2014 Author Posted March 14, 2014 He's like a #8 center?!??! They are switching to more of a power/man blocking scheme. He isn't a good fit with that. They also save a little against the cap and have a younger guy they want to move to center (Lichtensteiger) who fits the new scheme better. Montgomery would be a perfect example of "right player/right price" here. Quote

GrubberRaven Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 He's local too. May want to stay in the area, but I did find some info he may be on the decline. Quote

I don't think he would set any fields on fire, but he shouldn't have any trouble out performing Gino the awful....lol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Montgomery Quote
rastaman831226 Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Washington Post Insider cites Foreskins coaches stating that the loss of effectiveness starting in the second half of the 2012 season plus his upcoming cap hit as reasons for the release of Montgomery. I personally don't think Montgomery would be an upgrade over Gradkowski. Quote
