Never.

McC is saying Matt Jones is gonna shock people with how big of a year he is gonna have....interesting. News bout the RB has been relatively quiet in camp so far.

desean getting into it too. Just ignore it

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

Literally just got back from afternoon practice...wow perfect weather today too.

Couple things stood out...first cousins looked good today. Really knows where to go with the ball. I thought all the qbs looked solid. Nate even had a really great throw to Ross.

When the skins 1st and 2nd teams were going against each other, the offense concentrated on running the ball and our Oline seemed to really dominant. Jones looked really solid...looked bigger.

Seven on seven, the first throw went deep to desean jax on I believe a stop and go route corner of end zone. The best player on the field today made a play a with a big interception, breeland. Breeland had several standout plays and looked like the best corner.

Also to note, Vernon Davis looked good. cousins connected with him on a great throw today at the end of seven on seven. It was a standout throw and big catch. Davis looks to be ready to go this year. Our TE look stout and physical when they are standing together...good group.

Ok near the end of practice after some special teams work, then the offense went against defense again this time with cousins throwing the ball. Ok, I watched cousins pick on Norman 3 consecutive plays. First one, him desean were super physical on a comeback route but desean went high and plucked it out the air...only for like 5 yards, but it was a battle. Desean looked good today. I believe Ryan grant then next then ran like a square in and plucked it in front of Norman. Shortly after that, cousins hooked up with Reed on a great seem route with desean on the outside and Reed inside slot. Hall came in to help Norman on desean and Reed went quickly up the middle of the field, great throw by cousins. Norman looked a lil shaky today. He's close to making a play, but always out of reach.


With so much attention of throwing against Norman, cousins ran a pump fake at desean vs Norman and came back across to the other side looking for grant running an out and up to the middle of field. Grant had space but breeland came under him out of nowhere to tip the ball just out of grant reach. Bruton was there to lay lumber on grant if he would have caught it and told the fans on the side line they woulda been a fine if real game. Bruton has a real physical presence in the back field, he is pretty tall, broad shoulder. I thought our secondary looks solid. Fuller stood out on a couple plays. Gruden worked a lot with the receiving Corp on the sidelines and the QBs.

I'm really interested to see how this defense will come together. Our ilb Corp is gonna be good to watch these preseason games...they are battling there.

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

Nice report. Thanks Chico!!

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

Thanks, nice read! Man I'm excited about Breeland! Gotta get his jersey as soon as I find the money!

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

I'm really excited to see this team on the field. It's that time of year when you are glad to be hearing football news, but want the real games to start NOW!! :)

Hopefully they live up to the hype and excitement that this boring training camp is generating!

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

Well I guess that wasn't Matt jones today cause he sat out...no wonder this guy looked bigger...had big dreads too. Maybe it was Marshall? Could have been Robert kelly? Lotta dreaded up rb...except for Thompson, saw him for sure.

I've been saying for the last 2 years Breeland is our best CB, even with Norman there. What I worry about is when his contract is up will we resign him or let him go? Part of me didn't want Norman cause we can't have 2 very expensive CB's. I guess it's a good problem to have and then there's Fuller.

From everything I've heard, Breeland is having the best camp out of all our DB's.

Heading out there Monday. Looking forward to it!

Mmmh true... would s*ck to see him go... Honestly as of now I'd rather have him than Norman. Even if I'm excited to have Josh on the team, Bashaud's evolution is exponential!

I thought our Secondary was the standout group yesterday. We got a lot of depth. WR and TE groups a close second.

The right side of the Oline on run plays were damn good too...they were getting out there on stretches and opening holes on the inside.

Im worried about our D-Line...its concerning at this point.

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

For folks out of town coming into Richmond several solid choices within walking distance of camp

Buzz and Neds BBQ - great effing ribs, solid Q. Cool spot, a Richmond staple

En Su Boca - Tex-Mex specialized in great effing Tacos....also their mixed drinks are awesome

Boulevard Burger & Brew - first off, great spot and cool little building...They will have awesome beer on tap too. Burgers are solid...[url=http://www.boulevardburgerandbrew.com/]Boulevard Burger & Brew[/url]

you can park and easily walk to these spots.

Breweries in the area(all within like 3 miles)....Hardywood, Ardent & the Veil. I haven't been to the Veil, but heard maybe the best brewery in terms of "beers"...Hardywood is a good time, good spot and cool atmosphere. Ardent is probably the most underrated in the Richmond area... great beer, super solid. Place is no frills, quaint beer drinking spot super close to camp

tough break for Daniels. but, he's young & strong and can recover.

the bright side of this is he will get time to hang around & pick things up this year and he will be like an extra draft pick next year.

Gruden says Trent Murphy back to olb because lack of depth. Ugh...I hope mcc is scanning the league looking for olb/dl help. Concerned.

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

I heard him described by G as a....Tweener. That may have been to soften the blow to the masses.

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

Appearing on Sirius NFL Radio, Redskins GM Scot McCloughan suggested seventh-round pick Keith Marshall will have a role in the backfield this season.

"It's a two-headed monster in the backfield," said McCloughan, a statement that runs a bit contrary to the largely-held perception that Matt Jones has workhorse potential. McCloughan sounded very excited about Marshall's prospects this year. "He's a one-cut guy and when he puts his foot in the ground, he can FLY," said the second-year GM. "He's 220 (pounds) and he can FLY. ... Keith's done a really good job. A really good job."


interesting statement. It would be great if this kid can come in and contribute right away.

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

Looking forward to seeing the preseason games. Mainly I think we will get to see a lot of our depth go against one level better. I expect our firsts will do a few reps and sit and it's always good to see how the 2nds do against the other team's firsts etc.

p.s. I know it's just preseason, so shortly after the Falcons game, expect me to be posting is it real yet!!

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

I hope Stephen Daniels recovers and it's not a career ending type of injury. Shoulder is a tough spot for a downhill thumper to get an season ending injury.

I was really looking forward to watching that kid b/c he has a size and style of play that our lbs lack.
I hope this doesn't end up like S Jordan Bernstein.

I always considered Keith Marshall as a contributor in the backfield, injury is his problem. Dude just stays hurt.

[quote=Chico23231;1145334]Gruden says Trent Murphy back to olb because lack of depth. Ugh...I hope mcc is scanning the league looking for olb/dl help. Concerned.[/quote]Not surprised at all. Even before Gallette's injury I didn't see the sense nor did think moving Trent to 5-tech would work.
Trent can set the edge like a beast and give some occasional pass rush, but the main thing he can do is to eat up some quality snaps in base to keep Preston/Ryan fresh.

Only in the NFL could a 290 pounder be called a tweener. Murphy claims that he hasn't lost any quickness with his added weight. If that's true, why not use him at OLB?

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

Josh Norman will be working for Fox sports during the season. I guess he has to feed his family.... bad idea though

He's more like 275 right now.

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

You do have to have depth at any position. No matter if it is QB, RB, DE, etc. They move players for reasons.

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

[quote=MTK;1145382]Brandon Marshall seems to be doing just fine with his his side gig with Inside The NFL.[/quote]

Yeah I guess it can be alright but I'm surprised, with all the rules they have to follow outside the field, they're allowed to have what I feel can be a distraction.
And Norman isn't as quiet as Marshall, so I'm worried this could become much more talked over. Hope he manages to keep his head in the game at 100%.

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

I like what I'm hearing about Ziggy Hood, we need the depth and experience.

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

I was out at practice the other day. Norman was the very last one to leave, catching passes off the jug machine. I'm not worried about that guy. Not sure if he is worth 15 million, probably not... but he is a hard ass worker.

Doctson? He has only practiced one day and that was back in rookie mini camp. Are you kidding me???

Good to read this, I won't trash talk a guy for thinking about his life after playing football. Just hope this won't make too much noise and doesn't get inside his head too much.

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

Lauvao back in at Left Guard.
Long rolling with the first team at Center.

I've been looking for this combination over the off-season and am hoping it works out. Long is the biggest question mark but if he can up his game our O-Line would be a bigger/nastier bunch.
