What is the reason for this? Why would the Pats want to travel down there for this?
Second question - you think this is awesome because we get to practice with a winning franchise?

They're already coming to town for the 1st preseason game, so why not link up for some practices?

It's cool seeing teams practice against each other. Just adds to the atmosphere. I've seen the Jets and Giants go at it.

Watch out they might steal our OF & DF signals.

I love the idea. Apparently the Skins have done it previously but not in the last 15 years. Very cool. I wonder if they'll be open to the public? Had a blast going down there last year, thinking I might go again this year.

Re: Paintrain's all encompassing 'discuss all things offseason' thread (Version 2.0)
 

From the link above:

The practice sessions will be open and free to the public. The two teams will play each other in their first preseason game on August 7 at FedExField.

Yeah I cut outta work and went once last year, the second time I tried it got rained out by a horrible storm.

My only complaint, no beer trucks. This could take the experience to the next level.

As usual, ESPN has us pegged as last in the division and a losing record for next year.

'
So basically, like most other years, the prognosticators are basing their current season predictions on last year. Many of the same folks had us winning the division last year after we had done so previously, and the Eagles finishing last. So take all this early season prediction garbage for what it is worth, NOTHING.

At least we know RG3 won't have to worry about any sort of pass rush for those 3 days [URL="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ba%20dum%20chhh"]ba dum chhh[/URL]

Then again the secondary might have to be put on suicide watch no later then August 7th.

(whisper whisper) Wait what do you mean the Patriots finished 5th in total sacks last year? Surely you're looking at sacks allowed and not sacks made. (whisper whisper) fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

So happy to see its going as well as it can in a situation like this. Poor Jim, life has beat the crap out of him so many times, takes a remarkable person to work through that.

Is it me or does Clev seem to be going out of their way to humble Manziel. You've got the GM and head coach making comments to the media about how great Hoyer is in practices with no pads. Plus the owner said some things about Clev "not being Hollywood"...lol..Who are they kidding? Themselves? The minute Hoyer throws an INT the fans and media will be screaming for Manziel.

I actually just had a Philosoraptor level revelation that I came up with on my own, though I wouldn't be surprised if it had been pointed out a million times already.

I wonder what Kyles take is on all this. I mean its kind of an open secret that the Shanahans at least had a passing interest in Hoyer before we got RG3 so that might have been so that might have been a plus when Kyle was sorting through job offers, but the comments like the homeless guy story and the owner commenting on the depth chart makes me wonder if Kyle is kind of being overridden. Plus Manziel went to A&M so for a former Longhorn thats got to rub some salt in the room. Then again Manziel does have a Longhorn tattoo so maybe Kyle can look past that :D

Well 10-6 at the top and 7-9 at the bottom wouldn't surprise me in the East. We shouldn't be slouches like last year based solely on Griff being healthy. I guess when you lose a lot over a long period of time it is something that comes with the territory. The Eagles lost a hell of a playmaker, and I think the NFL will be ready for Chips high speed offense this year. Seemed like they were getting used to it already last year. The Cowboys did not improve imo. The Giants added a couple of nice pieces but they also lost a couple. Eli is a big question mark after last year. Id say we have as good a chance to be the 10-6 team at the top as we do the 7-9 team at the bottom.

I'm not usually a voter of the Democratic party (nor Republican here lately either) but I have to say hats off to Warner and Kaine for not signing this idiotic letter.

Re: Paintrain's all encompassing 'discuss all things offseason' thread (Version 2.0)
 

I'm feeling like it's only a matter of time before the name changes. We're probably gonna end up with something lame, like the Wizards. Here's your new football team DC, it's the Washington Salmon! Or the Washington Slugs! Whatever it is, it's going to be something so far from offensive, or aggressive, that nobody will ever demand it be changed again. Unless it's an animal, and then we'll have PETA protesting at the stadium.

Re: Paintrain's all encompassing 'discuss all things offseason' thread (Version 2.0)
 

I think if Snyder is going to be forced to rename the team, they should just remove the name Redskins and have no team name. The media can call the team Washington and I'm sure the fans and much of the public will still call it the Redskins. If they can keep the logo, they should, if not keep the "R" with the feather as the logo.

Best name-change idea I've heard. It'd be quite hard for me to ever call the Redskins by a different name; and if the name does change, I'll likely continue to call the team the Redskins. Dropping the nickname completely is a great solution.
