We knew that it was a matter of time before Jamal Brown's hip was going to give him problems. All of that yoga and rehab was too good to be true.

Re: 2012 Training Camp Competitions Open Discussion
 

We should have addressed RT via FA.
I'm tired of hearing about a guy that see struggle and underperform on the field yet always hear his injuries and short comings explained away.
Oh, Jammal Brown is doing yoga and pilates and looking much better blah, blah, blah

When do we get to see a healthy Jammal Brown playing at a high level, 2006?

Re: 2012 Training Camp Competitions Open Discussion
 

We're looking at more running backs?
WTF?

IT is plain as day why the Saints gave up on him.

Also I think you couldn't solve all our problems in one off season so the OL and secondary will probably be addresed next year. This why I thought bringing Manning in was a dumb idea because this team is not ready this year. So now we have time to build as Bob gets better.

I wouldnt be opposed to Cedric, but Ryan Grant is flat out garbage.

Re: 2012 Training Camp Competitions Open Discussion
 

Really not worried about Brown...then again I realize I'm one of the last of the Jammal and Kyle fans.

"Internal Talks" is such a nebulous term. Teams internally talk about players all the time

Probably just a contingency plan in case Hightower has a setback.

I doubt you're one of the last Kyle fans.
I would bet the majority of fans/media are Kyle fans.
In fact I think the Kyle defense team likes to use the few criticisms he receives to launch a woe is me defense for Kyle.
Its very sneaky but effective.

I don't get the impression the majority of posters here are fans of Kyle. Or maybe it's that those that are are more quiet

I like Kyle quite a bit actually. I think he is a pretty good coordinator, but has never had the quality pieces to run the offense.

Re: 2012 Training Camp Competitions Open Discussion
 

I didn't think that Kyle did such a hot job last year. Granted, his toys were of poor quality. Nonetheless I didn't feel like he got the most out of those toys. I still don't understand why we were among the league leaders in pass attempts (and this includes the first quarter, negating the playing-from-behind argument) when we had Wrecks/Beck slinging the ball and two young studs with fresh legs who could have carried it more.

But Kyle has shown that he can create a high octane offense when he has high quality toys. Therefore I expect a more robust showing from him this year.

Pretty much how I feel. Not sure why Skins fans expected from him considering the absolute trash he's had to work with. It's generally the case of fans overvaluing the players on the team.

A cool story from training camp yesterday. Kudos to Danny and the team for making this happen.

Kudos indeed. I may even have to forgive him for this:

Seriously, a great thing the Redskins did here. Enjoy seeing stuff like this.
