Jay Gruden still likes his centers after Redskins failed trade for Bryan Stork

ASHBURN, Va. -- Now that Bryan Stork isn't joining the Washington Redskins, the center position remains one of focus. And that's OK with coach Jay Gruden.

Before the trade, when it was being discussed, and now after it's fallen through, Gruden has maintained one message. The center position is fine. Stork failed a physical, nullifying the trade with New England.

"Before we got him I thought we were doing pretty well at center," he said.

Gruden and the other coaches have maintained that starter Kory Lichtensteiger has been playing well, though he's coming off a rough preseason outing in which he was called three times for holding.
