Winey gets flipped by the Jints
Brandon Winey has signed with the Jints. Intelligence sources believe he will give the coaching staff there a glimps into Joe Gibbs' playbook.

Gibbs' efforts at schematic secrecy took a hit Monday when tackle Brandon Winey signed with the New York Giants, Washington's Week 2 opponent. The Redskins have been purposely clandestine this preseason, running vanilla schemes in games and kicking reporters out of practice. But some in the organization believe the Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Redskins' opening foe, were eyeing Winey for a peek at the playbook. ...

As bad as their O line is, Winey has a chance to play a bunch there this season.

If he doesn't at least make that team, then they (the Jints) have no appreciation for how bad their O line is.

I think he's got enough of time to learn the PB basics before TC, at least he talked and worked with Buges and the remaining of the line on the blocking schemes. I don't like it anytime a redskin leaves to a division opp team just before the beginning of the season, but that's NFL.
That won't bother Gibbs and Buges so much though I believe, they'll keep up the good work and bring the adequate gameplan for the gints games.
And the gints will definitely need to cheat a little bit with Winey to avoid huge blows against the redskins. They're gonna loose anyway.

It doesn't matter at all. When Gibbs was coaching before people knew what was coming and couldn't stop it anyway. Just ask Denver when we played them in the Super Bowl.

actually, the amazing thing about that Denver Superbowl, was that we played a different game plan than the rest of the season. if you watch the NFL highlight film of it, they mention the deep crossing and post patterns by the receivers as being "new", and the surprise play of speedy unknown running back Timmy Smith, all by design to take advantage of a lack of speed in Denver's secondary. pretty amazing that Gibbs could hold something up his sleeve all the way until the end and devise a gameplan like that. there were times before with Theisman and Riggo where it seemed like Joe could have pointed to the line and said "we are going to run right there" and no one could stop it. you could hear Joe yelling out the same play over and over at the line against miami in the superbowl and they still couldnt stop it.

Come on guys, didn't we go through this with Wilbert Brown last year? IST GEHEIM? Spys? Truth is he probably can't tell them anything of true importance, this spy-insider secret crap is always overblown. Speaking as the guys only fan on this site, you'd think he would make the Jints team, I had hoped the kid would be looked at by the Rams, Turly may be done and Pace is still home, I had thought they'd give him a shot. I checked a Rams board and they were bitching about their line already. I wish Winey well but damn,,,,the Jints???

I'm not worried about him revealing secrets. Gibbs knows what Winey was taught, and that was probably limited. This could be to our advantage, although this might be a stretch of the imagination. Bugel might know a lot of Winey's weaknesses, so if Winey starts for the Jints they could be in trouble.

Gibbs knows that about 40% of the players in camp who look at his "playbook" won't be on the team, by week 1. He knows the risks...
I wonder just how much of the playbook a backup tackle actually gets to see.
