Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

Carlos is having an unbelievable camp. Right now I'd probably say Fred Davis and Carlos Rogers are the offensive and defensive MVPs

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

I'm also hearing a lot about Fred Davis and how he'll be used in the slot quite a bit. But yeah, I hear he's having a great camp.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

Sounds like Los is a lot happier about how he's going to be used in this D.

Let's see it in the regular season. As hard as I have been on Rogers over the years, and deservedly so, I would like nothing more for him to turn into a player indicative of his draft position. If he and Landry play up to their draft slots this year our defense is gonna be hell to deal with!

On offense, I get the sneaking feeling that Davis is about to break out with a Pro Bowl type of season. I know he's 'behind' Cooley, but every day more and more is written about 'McNabb to Davis down the field' and no mentions of Cooley. If Davis becomes the de-facto #3 WR and Cooley is a Dallas Clark like underneath/outlet guy then we could have something quite special out of that position group.

Agreed good to hear this stuff coming out of camp. BUT we have to remember that it is day 8 of the 2010 NFL season.

Of course. I'm also considering how he finished last season as well as the raves from the offseason and how much McNabb loves the TE. I'm not buying parade route tickets yet.

Comment more directed at Rodgers then Davis. I think we all have a feeling he will be a beast.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

Well, with the new staff and a complete turnaround in team chemistry and an overwhelmingly positive outlook and attitude, I truly believe we can expect great things with this squad. We have not gotten any worse at ANY position since last year, and have bolstered the O Line, the most important aspect of any offense, other than QB. And for the first time in a long time, we have a legitimate quarterback.

If the 3-4 works out like the players think it will, I wouldn't rule out a 10 win season.


I am more excited for this upcoming season than I have been for any others in my 29 years as a redskin fan.

That headline is a little misleading in that we only have 2 WR injured, one who we have known about since day one, and of course J. Brown. The Brown injury I am not to concerned about at this point because of the injury he suffered last year, and I would not be at all surprised if he was a little more sore than the rest since he has been out of football for a year. He will come on though and hopefully be the big guy we need on the RT spot.

It's Jason Reid. Posting catchy titles are more important to him than posting accurate titles.

Scared me until I got to the word "Onion". I'm going to camp tomorrow! :D

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

I'm really happy about how the offensive line is coming along. I don't know if the game had passed Buges by but for some reason I think we're better off with him gone.

For one thing our O-Line is playing up against a much more aggressive 3-4 D. This will only make them better. I'm not sold on the line yet but I am satisfied that the rebuilding of the line is underway.

I would like for us to get a damn good center and another LT in the next draft. After that I think we can afford to pick one lineman a year for awhile. Dockey and Raback will not last and these other guys we picked up aren't Spring chickens. Will Robison, Rhinehardt, Williams go the distance? Will Stephanie Heyor? Will Armstrong?

I'll have to wait and see. But what I do see I like.

I like the progress Edwin Williams is making. Not too surprised though. No particular reason for thinking this, but it wouldn't surprise me if Kory L. wins the starting RG job.

The real question mark to me is Chad Rinehart. In way to me he's like Kelly, time to step up or step off

Buges didn't have a RT worth anything to work with by the end of his tenure and Samuels was deteriorating even without the hit that ended his career because his knee was giving him trouble. Then Randy Thomas was injured at the worst of times and the backups were terrible.

Really, the blame falls on whoever was that genius who traded away picks and hoped to depend almost entirely on the UDFA pool and wtf-turrible practice squad scrubs like D'Anthony Batiste to provide the team with its offensive linemen.

[quote=Ruhskins;718095]I thought Barnes wasn't doing that great. Then I read this...[/quote]

Yeah he has stepped up a lot the past couple of days. To be clear though, he has been solid all spring in run defense. But his pass defense, which is you know where his focus should be as a DB, has been suspect.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

I'm hearing really good things about Terrence Austin's route running, so that's nice to hear.

And Buchanon has been a great veteran influence from what I've heard

With all the big moves in the offseason, Buchanon was one of the quietest, but I think could pay off big time. If he plays well, Id put our top 3 corners up amoung the top units in the league. There is some serious talent their.

Id love to see Shanny use T and A like he used Eddie Royal in Denver...both guys small and quick

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

So Smoot, at this point do you think Austin can make the roster as a 5th WR/Specialist or can he only make it if we roll with 6WR? Whats your gut feeling on the WR situation in general? My gut tells me we'll start the team with #2WR currently not on the roster, although i'm not sure who.

Rooting for him.

Looks like Moss/Galloway, then Thomas. After that who really knows. Furrey was looking good until the concussion. Wade apparently hasn't been overly impressive. Then you've got Kelly, whom we haven't really seen, Austin and Roydell Williams to fill the other 2 spots most likely. I think that his return game propels him into the top 5.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

I don't think that Byron Westbrook makes it but it seems as if he's had a good past couple of days. Today he picked off Bartel (and had the whole offensive sideline start chasing him) and then McNabb deep.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

Looks like everybody is still ignoring McNabbs pitiful performances.

Is it just me that is worried?

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

And Davis is continuing to shine. I would not be surprised to see him come away as the number 2 pass catcher stats-wise when the season is over.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

Oh and Trent has been sending people to the ground like crazy. Fletcher caught one today.

what pitiful performance? Consensus is that he hasn't looked super sharp. It's been 7 days into camp, new coach, new offense etc. Relax

Carlos is going to have his sights set on a lucrative long-term contract. I look for him to have a good year, absent injury of course. He's going to definitely be trying to prove he belongs and should be here for a long time.
