The Washington Redskins have invested heavily in the future of the franchise with their pick of Robert Griffin III as quarterback. For that investment to pay off, Griffin must have adequate protection from the offensive line. In 2011, injuries to key starters exposed a lack of depth on the OL and often left QBs Rex Grossman and John Beck scrambling for dear life. Right now, the health of RT Jammal Brown (hip) and LG Kory Lichtensteiger (knee) is uncertain, but I will pencil them in as starters. Look for the Skins to do some rotating around, most likely at the guard and center positions. Also look for rookie Josh LeRibreus to take some snaps at center, a position he played exclusively at rookies’ minicamp last month.

It will be forever known in Lower Columbia College baseball lore as “The Catch.”

Derrick Salberg’s leaping catch over the left field bullpen fence with a runner on and two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning robbed Everett as the Red Devils held on for a 4-2 victory in the first round of the NWAACC Baseball Championships at David Story Field on Friday.

“By far the best catch I’ve ever made,” Salberg said of a play that ended up No. 1 on SportsCenter’s countdown of the top 10 plays of the day Friday night. “I was waiting for the bullpen pitchers to tell me I was getting close to the fence. Thank God I didn’t run into the fence, and I’ve got some hops.”

Today’s lesson: The importance of closing out on 3 point shooters. It’s the difference between playing from behind in the 2nd half and stealing one on the road and going back home tied at 1-1.

Class dismissed. See you Thursday, kiddos.
