Can Someone Put Together Some Video Of Jake Grove & Satelle?

Grove was the #1 center taken in the draft a few years ago; taken by Norv Turner. However, he seems to be a below-average starter, consistantly ranking in the bottom half of the league in run-blocking. Statistically worse than Satele. I'm not enthusiastic about this player.

2006 - #28

2004 - #21
 
rem he was on a horrible line and horrible team.
 
Based upon the videos below, he looks like a clear upgrade over Satele.

The first two plays of this video illustrate a good run block and an adequate pass block.

He barely handles our NT on this play.

He does a good job handling Jenkins on this play versus the Jets in the first video. The second video shows him getting an excellent block on the second level to cutoff all pursuit.

Jake Grove is a very good run blocker, he is very good at opening up holes. The problem with him is his durability. I think this is would be an excellent value signing.
