I truly LOL'd at that. My dog is looking at me like I'm crazy

Here's a recent photo of Robert Gryphon III:

If someone made an RGIII shirt like this, I'd buy it.

I came across a pretty good analysis of which of the 9 rookies will make the roster and what their roles will be, too: [url]http://www.redskins101.com/2012/07/11/how-many-rookies-make-the-washington-redskins’-53-man-roster/[/url]

All 12 made it last year, but that's simply not going to be the case this season.

Good breakdown but for whatever reason I think Gettis has a real shot at making the active roster, and I see Compton as the PS type. We'll see how camp goes.

Any truth to that, or was it just preseason hype?

Any word on when RGIII will sign? I know monday rookies report. i dont understand why he hasn't yet. Salary is pretty much set right? why would he wait for Luck to sign if that is the case?

According to RG3, he will sign soon enough.

Definitely a good point. I hate the "wait and see" phase that comes around this time of year...

Only in that language... shouldn't mean anything... you trade that for a guy and he's not a 4 year projected starter? You don't give that up for questions and Danny boy ain't cheap

RG3 does have leverage. His amount of dollar$ and cent$ should be equivalent to what Von Miller got for the Denver Broncos last year and what Ndamukong Suh got the year before that.

I think Keenan Robinson is gonna get some playing time.

I think Jordan Bernstine has good shot of making the squad because his physical skillset size/speed suggest that he could possible play 3 positions: SS/FS/CB.

I think Compton and Gettis make the practice squad.
