[quote=GTripp0012;818613]It's when we start to draw distinctions here that the concept of leadership becomes an utterly useless intangible.[/quote]

You're assuming that I'm assuming that I care about how people are led. Well guest what, the scope of my statement focused solely on the "how" with no mention or innuendo that the "take-charge" guy is "better" than the "lead by example" boy.

So, JC's way of talking is not aesthetically pleasing to you, so hence you use displeasure as a way of proving he's "not a leader". How boneheaded is that? Not to mention, I don't think you played on the team in the first place.

I'm probably agreeing with you.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

So back to the topic:

It seems that Hankerson is doing well out there. I'd like to see what he can do when they have full-pads practice and in the first preseason game. Also, I look forward to see what Jenkins can do as well. It's a bummer that Kerrigan got hurt though, hopefull this doesn't affect his development too much.

Well, imo, to most sports fans, the effect of leadership matters more than "how it's done". There is usually not much info available to the fans to say anything too conclusive about any player's ability to lead or how he does it

But I'm not sure if I agree wholly that the distinction shouldn't be drawn at all, since different styles may, and at least sometimes do, affect the follower's behavior and emotions in different ways. Of course, this stuff is more usful for the managers, executives, and academic researchers.

Actually I have good information that the JC huddle issues had more to do with the fact that he led a "Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay" sing-along before he called each and every play.

Have you ever tried to whistle with a mouthguard?

JC is the most naturally tranquilized field general I think that probably has ever taken a snap in an actual NFL game.

That's a great song. But Rex Grossman would've had the time to sing the entire song before throwing a deep ball perfectly across his body to a triple covered wideout for the game winning touchdown pass.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

In the end people will draw distinctions between leadership styles because it is human nature to group/view people in that way, whether we ought to or ought not to think of things like that.

It is more important realize the groupings we make, do not matter if the ends are attained.

Grossman makes one read and goes deep.

JC makes three check down reads before taking a cat nap and only then is he ready to dump the ball off to the RB for a three yard loss on third and twelve.

I choose the sexy option.

Damn...

We all joke around about injuries happening to other teams players, but I would never wish that on a person. Sounds like he had a seizure. If that's the case his football career might be over. I only say that because my football career was effectively over before it began due to seizures. With the right treatment though he might still be able to play football, so we'll just have to wait and see. I wish him luck and hope it wasn't anything serious.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

yeah hope he is ok, nothing to joke about in this heat

Some camp tidbits...

For a third straight day, Jarvis Jenkins is putting on a clinic in the #Redskins one-on-one drills. He looks very strong. #Redskins

Redskins.com
CB Kevin Barnes gets in front of a receiver and easily intercepts a pass from undrafted rookie QB Marc Verica.

Redskins.com
Jarvis Jenkins again...He fended off his blocker and got in position to tackle Keiland Williams on a run play up the middle.

Redskins.com
Another player who continues to impress: rookie DL Jarvis Jenkins. He burst through line to get in position to tackle on a run to the right.

Redskins.com
John Beck and Malcolm Kelly exchanged jersey numbers -- and now exchange the ball. Beck connected with wide open Kelly on deep pass for TD.

Redskins.com
Should note that John Beck's TD pass to Malcolm Kelly was slightly underthrown, but Kelly was so wide open he had time to adjust.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

So much for the reports about Jenkins not being strong eh? I think it goes to show that being strong in the weight room is sometimes overrated.

Good. Glad to hear it was nothing serious, besides I don't want to give them any reasons for excuses when we get payback on them for last year. :)

True enough. Same might be said, however, about playing like a stud in practice when game time rolls around.

Encouraging, but just like I won't doom Beck until we see him in a game, not about to christen JJ as a beast just yet. Let's see how he holds up over the course of a game.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

Of course. But the fact we've heard comment after comment about how strong he looks at least puts to rest the concerns over his relatively lackluster bench press performance at the combine.

Still, it is better to see Jenkins doing well in practice than the opposite. Just as I wish Beck would do better with his deep passes, and not underthrow a wide open Malcolm Kelly.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

The nitpicking on Beck's deep throws are amusing. At least it was only a "slight underthrow" I guess. Plus the dude has a sore arm from all the work so far.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
 

Seems like Beck is trolling GusFrerotte by chaging his number to 12. :lol:

I want to know the # of which camp scrub JJ is beating up on! Early cut maybe?

He's beating up the starters.
