My interpretation is that Andy Reid just didn't think he fit the kind of line Reid wants to build and that with free agency and the draft full of respectable tackles he thinks he can do better.  |
Yep. Winston is much better at run blocking than pass protection. He was that way in Houston too, but you didn't notice such a dramatic difference because he excelled in their zone blocking scheme. There is a reason that both he and Briezel didn't have the kinds of years they had in Houston. The Texans are definately going to give him another look if the price is right.
