It's frustrating that apparently neither Thomas nor Kelly are making the strides, although Thomas is listed first as a ST returner, which I think he would be very good at. Ah well, bring on the new season!

My co-worker (not the crazy one) where just talking about how WR has easily become our weakest position with the bad news about DT and MK's development.

Is there any way to make a play on Vincent Jackson?

[quote=Chico23231;718591]Thomas and Kelly both on the 3rd team. So far, So fail[/quote]

This is the first thing I noticed. Wow. Moss and Galloway, Roydell and Armstrong, Then Thomas and Kelly?.... heck only T. Austin is behind them.

I guess it speaks volumes or atleast it should to those who keep saying don't worry Thomas and Kelly are going to be beasts.

Maybe we should just stick with Roydell (who was cut a year ago) and Armstrong being a beast this yr.

Edit: I forgot about Shay Hodge.

Exactly, I expected a little more at this point. I know this is just the first draft, but this jumped out immediately. AH 2nd team, Moore starting safety, Carter starting at OLB...not really surprising IMO. I know its motivation for the guys...but I expected at least 2nd team Thomas. Kelly at this point is in serious, serious danger of being cut IMO. I really like Thomas being penciled in at returner. We will see how it shakes out, but IDEALLY we want Thomas as a starter as WR.

[quote=Lotus;718435]There have been a few reports of snapping problems in camp, such as this one:

LS Nick Sundberg. He had another low snap on a field goal attempt in which Josh Bidwell made a good save. Graham Gano still made the kick, but I’ve seen too many of his snaps hit turf before hands.

What happened to the Red Snapper did we let him go or did he retire?

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

[quote=firstdown;718611]What happened to the Red Snapper did we let him go or did he retire?[/quote]I believe he basically worked on one year contracts for us in the past, and this year they didn't re-sign him. I think they wanted someone who could contribute a little more to the team than just long snapping.

I miss him already and I want him back with the team. In the meantime: [url=http://www.thesportstruth.com/2006/10/ethan-albright-worst-player-in-the-nfl-strikes-back.html]Ethan Albright, Worst Player in the NFL, Strikes Back - The Sports Truth[/url]

[quote=firstdown;718611]What happened to the Red Snapper did we let him go or did he retire?[/quote]

He is a free agent. His contract was up and he did not recieve a new one. As noted before he is still out there and if the new guy contiunues along the road of suck, the Red Snapper may get a phone call.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

We have not even played a preseason game. I am not to worried about the depth chart at this point. Let's wait and see what happens over the next 28 days before we really dissect everything when it comes to the roster.

I have stated ever since the VJ trade talks, I am behind the caoch and the FO all the way. Whatever they decide to do to make sure we have the best 53 players on the Skins come Sept 12 I am behind. If it doesnt include Thomas or Kelly, well then they must not have had what it takes. These guys have 2 years of tape and plenty of Offseason work under MS. They either impress or hit the road.

Not sure why he was not signed. That is a thank less job until you screw up and then everyone who never knew you to start with hates you. I don't mind giving up a roster spot to know some who will touch the ball 6 to 10 times a game gets the job done.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

I think this could be a positive, as DT and MK could get a lot of playing time in preseason. MS may have purposely lowered their positions as a final warning and to create an opportunity to see them play it out. We will see how they do.

Or they could just suck and get cut.

If we developed a young guy that can be a great long snapper and also in a pinch fill in at center or guard, would create more depth. Something we lacked for the last 10 years.
I don't know if Red Snapper could play on the o-line or not?

On a separate note:
3rd string Eric Cook the rookie center broke his right wrist during the final week of training camp in 2007 (New Mexico), and taught himself to snap with his left hand the rest of the season when he played center. Tough guy.

2nd string Center Kory Lichtensteiger: was named a finalist for the Rimington Trophy (nation’s best center) and a first-team all-conference choice as a senior. Posted the highest blocking consistency (85.6 percent) of any center in the country during his time at Bowling Green State according to NFLDraftScout.com.
You throw in Edwin Williams and it looks like we have some decent talent on the bench....for once.

I am with you. I don't know why you would want to replace Big Red till he decided to reitre. When you have a guy that solid, why mess with it.

I think he still may be back by the time the season starts espicially if the young guy continues to struggle. Smoot had eluded to this earlier in this post.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

Redskins running some Wildcat with Banks at QB today

My gut says Sundberg doesn't last pass the first preseason game

Beck could surpass Grossman if both keep playing the way they have been recently. Though I still think Grossman holds on to the back up job when all is said and done

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

That could work...if Banks can hold onto the ball. He seems like the type of player who tries to get that extra yard but forgets to hold onto the ball. Saw him put it down a few times...but he's blazing fast and probably tough to tackle because of his tiny size.

Banks and Austin are getting tested hard though. Another thing I noticed, in the return drills, they were sending everyone at the two rookies, but not the vets. The rookies were getting hit and tackled, balls stripped, but Moss/Thomas/Hall/Buchanon/Tryon were just catching the ball and when they approached a tackler...they both just stopped. No contact. Banks and Austin...send all 11 after them!



I don't think Beck will pass Grossman though. Rex made some really nice passes...and some INTs this weekend...but like Todd Collins, I think he gets the backup job because he knows the offensive playbook better.

I'm pretty sure I heard they recently MRI'd his hip/hernia area and found no irregularities. Just soreness that comes from the rigors of training camp/recovering from surgery.

The first preseason game doesn't mean much for a guy like him. He's entrenched as a starting tackle and is a seasoned vet. No need to risk him out there this early. I like the decision to hold him back.
