The addition of Redskins offensive line coach Bill Callahan has incorporated more movement from guards in the run game. Some considered run blocking as one of left guard Shawn Lauvao’s weaknesses in the past, particularly when asked to serve a pulling guard and set the edge. It’s only two weeks into the Callahan regime, but Lauvao has proved he can be an effective on the move.
“That’s probably one of the knocks on him was his athleticism,” Coach Jay Gruden said. “Coming in here he was more of power-type, phone booth-type offensive guard. But he’s showing his versatility this year, pulling and doing a great job.
