[quote=vallin21;562058]I'm just looking for some logical reasons why he's still around, because it's definitely not for his play.[/quote]


well, because at the time the other backup corners sucked...you could even legitamately argue that Tryon was worse last preseason....he sucked bad.
But, he made the team because he was a draft pick and had long term potential...If I were coach....and I am sure you guys are glad I am not...I would have cut both of em.

Oh I'll agree with you. but what does it say about Westbrook when a Rookie (Tryon) who sucks beats you out? I think Tryon is a long term potential. Yes he got beat a couple of times but he also made a couple of good plays. We havn't even seen Westbrook. Except in preseason.

D Halls Madden rating just went up to 82 after that pick that ended the 2MD.

Any word on the Red Snapper's rating? LOL.

On a separate note...

[quote]Specifically, DeAngelo Hall ended the drill with an interception, and the defensive line seemed to be running past the offensive line more or less at will. (Which, to be fair, is roughly what you'd expect from last year's #4 defense after the offseason additions.) [B]And, because the two-minute defense is conducted largely from the nickel formation, that defensive line included rookie Brian Orakpo.[/B] [/quote]

It looks like Orakpo lined up at DE (?) during this drill? Does anyone have video of this, I'd like to see this drill.

They bumped it up a point from last year, and he has a 100 overall Morale rating...YAY!

With all the talk about Hixon I clicked the link here to see how long he has been with the team and found this. Look at how much Joe Bugel and Bobby Crumpler look like each other.

Re: Redskins June 2009 OTAs
 

I finally have found a WR giving props to WR coach Hixon; I can finally rest assured he is the best out there.

From [url=http://blog.redskins.com/2009/06/10/on-the-field-for-otas-6-10/#continued]On The Field For OTAs - 6/10[/url] fomer practice squad wide receiver Marques Hagans is quoted as saying:

[quote]"I think right now," he said, "the main thing is trying to learn the offense and at the same time just try to focus on my game, on getting better every day. [B][Wide receiver coach Stan Hixon] is a good teacher of the offense[/B], and I think with the group of guys that we've got, we've got good leadership -- and good competition as well, because there's a lot of talent out here. So I just try to stay on my game every day."[/quote]

Re: Redskins June 2009 OTAs
 

Nice to see Kevin Barnes balling. 2 INTs today. I could seriously see Smoot being our 4th CB this year behind Barnes.

Re: Redskins June 2009 OTAs
 

It would be kind to say the passing game didn't click during today's OTA workout, when Roy Williams and Patrick Crayton were the only receivers available who have played a down for the Cowboys. "It was sloppy," Williams said. "I can't talk about everybody else. But I know the wide receivers, we were terrible today. We've got to get the young guys better prepared -

Glad to see how the Boys are better without T.O. LOL..

Can't play with him, can't play without him. :)

My favorite line from the OTA blog so far:

"Even Malcolm Kelly's presence in practice is becoming the usual."

If he's healthy all year it will be so awesome for us.

Re: Redskins June 2009 OTAs
 

I hope Barnes turns out to be a very good player, it would help justify his selection while there were good LB's and OL on the board. I was hopin we would have picked the MLB from TCU Phillips (Ravens) or the OLB from South Florida McKinze (Pats). but there were also good O-linemen and even some good DE's on the board since it seems like they are keepin RAK at SLB. To me a DB didnt seem like a big need in the 3rd but ill let it play out and see how it goes before i judge.

I noticed in the comment section on Terl's blog, he mentions that his interview with Stan Hixon will be posted tomorrow. That should be a pretty good read. His interviews with the assistants have been solid.
