Its early, but I keep seeing his name....its a good sign.[/quote]

yes it is a good sign, especially when redskins.com mentions him among the Key Injuries/players sitting out

Re: Redskins Minicamp (June 11-June 14)
 

Chase Minnifield apparently had a pretty good day.....good stuff

5. OK, last week in the one practice open to the media Rex Grossman threw the best of all the quarterbacks. He looked good again today – but had his one moment that defies reason. On the play, Grossman was under pressure and as he was looking to his right, threw off his back foot over the middle. Wrong move: rookie corner Chase Minnifield was there and intercepted the pass.

6. Minnifield continues to impress. He did a nice job in man coverage vs. Pierre Garcon on one play, executing a good jam and then turning and running stride for stride down the field, forcing Robert Griffin III to look elsewhere. Minnifield hasn’t looked overmatched vs. the starting receivers.

Re: Redskins Minicamp (June 11-June 14)
 

Minnifield is looking like the 2nd rounder that we didn't have due to the trade, I see him wining a starting job.

Heard Cousins had a significantly stronger day than RGIII...let the controversy begin!![/quote]

Neither Cousins nor Griffin have a chance against Crompton, the clear starter.

I would love it if Chase Minnifield is the one to do that.

Re: Redskins Minicamp (June 11-June 14)
 

Minnifield isn't doing too bad for an overrated stiff that nobody wanted. ;)

Re: Redskins Minicamp (June 11-June 14)
 

shocked he wasn't draft honestly... it's like a free pick for us though, so yay on that. we could use a good cb every now and then.

Re: Redskins Minicamp (June 11-June 14)
 

[quote=Mattyk;921087]Minnifield isn't doing too bad for an overrated stiff that nobody wanted. ;)[/quote]

I know I know, he was projected to be a high round draft pick before he got injured, circumstances out of his control, he has the talent, good bloodlines, etc. I'm just saying it's a little early to be thinking he's good enough to win a starting job, let alone make the final roster. I think he might be a keeper too, but we won't know until much further down the road. For now though there's not much else he can do beyond what he's doing already.

Re: Redskins Minicamp (June 11-June 14)
 

Hey i could easily see him beating Cedric Griffin or Barnes for the third corner role. They are both really inconsistent. I know he is a rookie, undrafted no less, but i almost rather see him play with struggles then watch them play again.

I'm going out on a limb and saying he will win the job and be a starter.

Re: Redskins Minicamp (June 11-June 14)
 

i believe in minnifield, could be a westbrook/barnes type player or better

Re: Redskins Minicamp (June 11-June 14)
 

I am baffled by Minnifield not getting drafted. I know he was dinged but it wasn't some career threatening injury. I mean no one thought in the 7th round that a slightly injured top-tier CB was worth a flyer? Huh?

I saw the guy play enough to know he is a legit NFL corner.

Re: Redskins Minicamp (June 11-June 14)
 

he's slightly undersized and relatively slow but he's got the bloodline and the instincts

Re: Redskins Minicamp (June 11-June 14)
 

Chase Minnifield is having a good mini camp. According to one report, he intercepted a Rex Grossman pass and returned it for a TD. The coaches are surely monitoring this kid's progress. I hope he gets to see some time at nickle back this season at least.

Re: Redskins Minicamp (June 11-June 14)
 

I would bet that a lot of average CBs have picked off Rex Grossman. LOL

It would be great for this kid to make the team though. We are overdue for an undrafted FA gem. If he actually turns out to be a starter within the next two years, then I will forget about the 2013/14 1st rounders we don't have... Time will tell.

[quote=los panda;921116]he's slightly undersized and relatively slow but he's got the bloodline and the instincts[/quote]

Its possible he is not that slow. He ran his 40 two months after microfracture surgery. He ran it in 4.6 seconds. I think it is possible that he could be in the 4.5 4.4 range with rejab and training .

Re: Redskins Minicamp (June 11-June 14)
 

As a Hoos fan I've rooted for Minnifield for several years and hoped that we would land him. Go Chase! It's too early to anoint him as a starter but it would be sweet if it worked out that way.

Re: Redskins Minicamp (June 11-June 14)
 

Historically speaking, guys named Chase are the greatest players to ever don a Redskins uniform. I mean that's simply a fact

Re: Redskins Minicamp (June 11-June 14)
 

If Chase Minnifield is half as good as Frank Minnifield was then he will have an excellent career.

Whoa bro, lets not say things we can't take back. It's been quoted now. Your faith is in question. Totally not joking either. If you can put those words in that sentence, who knows what you're capable of.

Don't shoot the messenger, I just report the stuff I read to here. I'm not saying I think he'll be Shannon Sharpe, THEY said that. Lets just clarify that right now.

Redskins Minicamp June 11-June 14

From today....

Undrafted rookie cornerback Chase Minnifield stood out again today, jumping routes and tipping passes incomplete. He earned praise from his position coach, coordinator and head coach, who each marveled at their fortune in landing him after the draft.

Someone on here a while back was totally discounting Minnifield when we drafted him, I forget who though. Glad to see we may have gotten ourselves a nice steal at a position where we need help.
