I hear...

LJ looks strong and is running with a purpose (whatever that means)

Torain looks sharp. My man!

CP and WP have lined up some at WR.

Bartel as previously mentioned looked good.

Colt msifiring badly

Fred Davis is a beast

Barnes still struggling badly, Tryon very inconsistent (DB depth is def something to keep an eye on)

Alexander continues to really impress everyone

Clinton Portis just left his feet to chip block Rob Jackson on the right edge. CP appears quite engaged in this practice.[/quote]


Practicing hard. Man it has probably been about 6 years since you could say that about him. Good to hear, I hope it pays dividends in the fall.

So TRYON is not living up to his top 5 break out player this year?

lol no that's why most of my posts have the name up top of whoever twittered it

the other ones are just what i've pieced together from multiple tweets.. I RT a lot of stuff on my account and have a few little personal thoughts thrown in, I mainly want to aggregate it for users that don't feel like building their own list.. definitely more to come in that dept from me if I don't get too lazy.. don't really want to do automation though because 1) it's cheap and 2) it's messy

I'd love to have Terl's job though

I'm glad that our starting tailback is doing well.

I've also read that Alexander has not only impressed, but is penciled in as the starting weak side LB, relegating Carter to a backup role.

His versatility has truly been extended. It's a tribute to his commitment being able to play so many different positions.

That's huge, not only because he's impressing, but Carter at backup is some VERY quality depth.

i'm very impressed with alexander too. He's done everything this team has ever asked him to do - and done it well - and now he may finally be rewarded for his hard work. if i'm not mistaken, this would be the first time he's been penciled in as a starter in his entire career. i'm not so sure that carter would stay as a backup though. there's no cap in 2010, but i think if the skins could save any considerable amount of "real" money by releasing him, i think they would.

He's got to be disappointed, though. He's went from having the best year of his career (thanks largely to Haynesworth) to being a backup in a defense that doesnt fit him well. I admire his class in keeping his mouth shut and not becoming a problem, but i also feel pretty bad for the guy.

I don't think Carter has a position in a 3-4. But he is our best pass rusher so I would expect to see him and Orakpo coming off the edges on 3rd downs.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

Regarding Colt ... I just think he's one of those guys that just needs to play in the games. He's just not a practice type of player.

It would be interesting to see how many sacks did Carter get when AH was out of the line up. Not taking anything away from AH but I never see Carter being double teamed, before of after AH got here.

Carter and Zoe are competing at OLB.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

Man, I just watched some of the videos with the coaches on redskins.com and I am so sick of these reporters just asking these dumbass questions about Haynesworth. I would have liked to see some more questions asked about the other 79 guys in camp.

Sorry, I know it's a little off-topic but just had to vent a little.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

I'm looking forward to seeing if the Bartel Brotherhood will beat out the Cult of Colt for the #3 qb job. I guess we will see.

And nice to hear about DT and FD looking sharp. Sounds like we are hearing a glass half full kinda deal, some good, some bad.

Also very impressed to hear about Zoe taking first team reps away from Carter. I can't believe he was playing defensive tackle when we first brought him in and now he's competing for the starting outside linebacker job.

Day two comes to an end.

Posted at 7:27 PM ET, 07/30/2010
Walk-through ends first two-a-day practice

The Washington Redskins completed their first day of two-a-day practices with a low-key, low-intensity walk-through.

Players rarely needed to do more than a jog lightly during the session as the offense and defense worked through shadow drills on separate fields. They came together only for some special teams work. The practice lasted about an hour.

After the practice, defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth worked with defensive line coach Jacob Burney on a side field.

Guys like that are weird, because typically you have the practice superstars that can't do it under pressure, but occasionally you get that guy that shines under pressure. Unfortunately they usually do such in college with great mismatches in their favor.

Re: The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread
 

This is John Clayton's observation on the Redskins defense. I hope this is right:

[QUOTE][B]3. How will the switch to the 3-4 defense work?[/B] Normally, I'm skeptical predicting success for teams that switch from a 4-3 to a 3-4 because too many of late have failed. In recent years, the Chargers, Packers and Cowboys have made the smoothest transition. The Redskins might head the next group. The reason is the bulk along the three-man line. Haynesworth might have the biggest salary, but Kemoeatu is the key. At 350 pounds, he has to draw double-team blocks to free up the linebackers, and the more he plays, the less Haynesworth will be asked to serve at the nose. Don't underestimate Haynesworth's impact, either. Haynesworth was part of a Redskins defense that gave up only 2.9 yards a carry when he was on the field but 4.0 when he was off it. For ends, defensive coordinator Jim Haslett has 310-pound Phillip Daniels and 315-pound Adam Carriker. Backup nose tackle Kedric Golston is 310. Also around are Vonnie Holliday and Jeremy Jarmon. Haslett plans to use the Steelers' aggressive form of the 3-4 with plenty of blitzing and not locking linemen into being two-gap wrestling bears at the line. Brian Orakpo should be a Pro Bowl pass-rusher at linebacker. The surprise is Lorenzo Alexander being ahead of Andre Carter on the strong side. Carter can be the third-down rusher. There are certain lineups in which the Redskins can get more than six former first-rounders on the field.[/QUOTE]

Sort of explains why Brennan has all those NCAA passing records. Hawaii had a very nice program, but would have finished no higher than 5th or 6th in the Big Ten, Big 12, and maybe even lower in the SEC. I mean look at what Georgia did to Colt in the Sugar Bowl.

We see it at all levels, high school teams that run over divisions and get killed in regionals, college teams that win conferences but do nothing in the bcs, etc

Keep in mind, Hawaii's offensive line was awful in the Sugar Bowl, and the reason why the game was such a blow out. Colt had no time to even drop back, and look down field. I guarantee that if Hawaii had pretty much any BCS teams OL, the game would have not been nearly as lopsided as it was. You can't blame one player for the loss of a blowout game like that. Hawaii had no idea what hit them.

If he fails - it's Jason Campbell's fault!
