Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

Has anybody noticed growing negativity around the team? A few weeks ago it was nothing but how great we are going to be. Now it's we have no RB depth, O-line issues, and our D-line can stop the run. On top of that, I keep reading how great the Cowboys rookie is.

I still believe we will win the NFC East, but i do not understand where the negativity is coming from.

Not me, I'm excited to see what Marshall and Kelley can do tomorrow with the 1st line OL, also would like to see either Jefferson or Trail beat Bates and Lanier beat out Paea.

Oh, I don't know, could it be about 2 decades of disappointing crap football being played around here?

As the regular season approaches, our growing conditioned response is to be wary of the koolaid drinkers, and to be skeptical of their high expectations. We all know reality can be a bitch.

Fortunately a couple of solid seasons can fix all this. Here's hoping for two in a row. And yes, it looks like many of the pieces for sustained success are in place. HTTR.

I have seen the same kind of shift. The RB problem might be a bad one, we'll see.I can't remember any recent season where there haven't been concerns about the O-line. Defense has always been a question mark.

History isn't kind to us in regards of us ever repeating a winning season. I think I read one article last weekend that said the last time we had back to back winning seasons was 1992, when we went 9-7, following the 14-2 season the year before. I still stick to my prediction of "best case scenario" of 8-8 this year, but we might surprise the league and go 9-7 again. That would be good

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

We are so much deeper and more talented than last year and it is like night and day compared to 2014.

All the holes aren't going to be filled in a year and a half.

Another year of getting quality depth and solid talented draft picks will make us a real contender next year.

Well if they aren't fans - then you knew it would only be a matter of time before they started spitting out the same narrative they do every season: Dallas is going to win it all -- too much talent. Giants are also going to win it all (somehow)-- too savvy. Philly is going to be scrappy and might win it all -- too much young talent. And we will stain the bowl -- too much Danny.

Despite winning the division 2 of the last 4 years.......

And if its fan negativity......its probably our preconditioned reflex to assume doom is coming and that everything we were excited about in the offseason will unravel once talk becomes action on the field.

I'm a little wary of what's going on with Doctson, but all in all, I'm happy with how we are operating. No splashy free agency, no trophy picks in the draft....... if RG3 is still a top 3 story in a Redskins forum, we're doing ok. :)

He's available cause he's a slow fat fuck, Patriots cut him for a reason and the skins didn't get in a bidding war for the same reason.

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

Hrm, I don't mind depth, but those stats last year don't inspire a bunch of confidence.

[quote=SFREDSKIN;1146262]Paul Kruger just became available, I would rather take alook at him than Jenkins.[/quote]

true, if the price is right, he has a $6.5 million dollar contract. Would the Redskins have to honor it ?... Kruger had 50 something pressures which was 12th in the league

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

If we can get Knighton on the cheap why not?

Tell us how you really feel...lol.

I agree, gets tired after one play and then rolls his way to the sideline. He was such a disappointment. There's a reason Denver let him walk, then us and now New England.

yes. he can plug it up, not sure what else was expected from him.

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

Both Ziggy Hood and Kendall Reyes were dominated at times in the Buffalo game. Jenkins may prove to be an upgrade. I think we're weak in the DL and I wouldn't be surprised if were to pick up up another DL in addition to Jenkins. BTW, it won't be Pot Roast.

Redskins coach Jay Gruden says injured reserve is a possibility for RB Keith Marshall (elbow).

Gotta believe its the most likely scenario.

I makes sense. That way he can be kept and developed for next year. It looks like he was beaten out by Kelley, anyway.

BTW, he can thank Jordan Reed for the injury that may have kept him from being cut. I re-watched that play carefully and Reed completely whiffed on his block on the LB who crunched Marshall.

I confess, I have never heard of this guy.

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

From Wikipedia:
[QUOTE]Denver Broncos[edit]
Painter was drafted in the 6th round, 173rd overall by the Denver Broncos in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Cleveland Browns[edit]
On September 1, 2014, Painter was signed off of the Denver Broncos' practice squad by the Cleveland Browns. On September 5, 2015, he was waived by the Browns.[4]
New York Giants[edit]
On September 16, 2015, Painter was signed to the New York Giants' practice squad.[5] On September 30, 2015, he was released by the Giants.[6]
Miami Dolphins[edit]
On August 27, 2016, Painter was waived by the Dolphins.[7]
Washington Redskins[edit]
Painter was claimed off waivers by the Washington Redskins on August 29, 2016.[8][/QUOTE]

not gonna say this inspires much confidence.

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

Separately, I am growing very fond of Josh Norman. Check out the interview: [url=http://www.redskins.com/media-gallery/videos/CSNGruden_Jokingly_Smacks_Norman_During_Interview/c9fd4f87-c334-4124-8426-4f3ae79b5e80]CSN:Gruden Jokingly Smacks Norman During Interview[/url]. It's so clear he really loves playing football -- I can't think of guys getting as excited as he is about a preseason game. And he had a great game v. the Bills. Norman and Breeland are going to cause QBs fits this year.

[quote=Alvin Walton;1146281]Who do we blame for Joe Theismanns injury?[/quote]

I'm not blaming Reed; I'm thanking him. Thanks to his being such a pathetic blocker, we get to keep Keith Marshall on IR.

Re: Redskins Training Camp '16
 

[quote=los panda;1146272]yes. he can plug it up, not sure what else was expected from him.[/quote]

Someone who can play two plays in a row at full speed.

He was a huge liability on long drives and if he was caught in the line up in hurry up he could have laid down like Haynesworth and been just as effective.
