Okay, let's try this, speed enhanced individuals must also demonstrate other enhanced physical and instinctual characteristics to overcome any vertical challenges they may meet due to the immutable characteristic of the physical stature with which they may be blessed.

Hey, I'm the same height as Brandon Banks and routinely refer to myself as a midget. I'm coaching my son's Tee-Ball team right now and some of the 5-year olds are almost as tall as me.

If it doesn't offend the short people...why is it deemed offensive? :D

Sort of like the Redskins name...actual Native Americans aren't the offended ones!

Nick Williams, WR (UCONN)

He too is a punt returner

Muggsy Bogues is my favorite NBA player of all time, completely serious. 5'3" and an inspiration to me, a fellow former point guard.

I have seen several threads becoming into personal arguments for some people, it's starting to get annoying. This is Redskins forums, thus all kinds of discussions should be football related unless you post in the threads where all people can talk about different things. The only way to prevent from turning threads into aimlessly arguments is to speak in a language that does not offend anybody. I did not mean to target you on this particular word, I was just saying.

Re: UDFAs
 

I couldn't find anything on Dominick Reyes, anybody find out if he has signed with a team yet?

I have a really good feeling about Nick Williams potentially playing slot for us. Guy is slick as grease and the patriots were showing interest in him

He may have to show up at someone's camp and start lobbying for himself. Like Justin Skaggs did years ago.

Agreed, my friend. No more homosexual threads. I don't care if it's a football or basketball player, lets stick to talking about the balls in the stadium, not the ones in the bedroom.

Pitcher should have plunked the little smart-ass (with a nice, soft pitch, of course).

Imagine if he charged the mound after being plunked.

As a PA resident, I can say with certainty that this kid will never make an NFL team.

Also, leave it to Philly media...
[quote]McGloin will compete with [SIZE=5]Nick Cousins[/SIZE], Rex Grossman and Pat White to back up starter Robert Griffin III. Quarterback depth will be especially important for the Redskins this year considering Griffin's injury history.[/quote]

Robert Griffith's backup.

Did you all know we're bringing in Shawn Morris, Alfreds brother for a tryout this weekend and should he do well, we'll sign him to a contract for training camp.

[quote=mbedner3420;1008229]When do we hear which rookie minicamp tryout players got extended a contract?[/quote]

When it happens. The Redskins are at the 90 man roster limit now. So if they sign one, you will hear about the signing, plus a release to make room for it. They can do that at any time they choose to.

Re: UDFAs
 

Who did they release to sign the C?

Where did you hear they signed one of the tryout players?

Re: UDFAs
 

[quote=artmonkforhallofamein07;1008272]Who did they release to sign the C?

The team released offensive lineman Kyle Wilborn, an undrafted free agent out of Troy, to make room for Matthews.
