Redskins OTAs

Lets look at some news and notes about these OTAs.

Washington Redskins' Alex Smith makes strong, steady first impression - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN

Cousins and Smith may be close in stats, but def different on the field. When Cousins completed a long pass in practice...he was celebrating it. Alex makes the throw, expects a completion, then moves on to the next play. Keim said in another post that he expects Smith's approach maybe to go a little farther in the lockerroom. Smith is all business right now getting into the playbook, fun will come later.

Allen - Payne - McGee with Ioannidis as first in rotating. Sounds right and Payne in there at nose first. Good.

Redskins OTA observations: Let's all get excited about Derrius Guice | Redskins XTRA | richmond.com

With linebacker Zach Brown absent, the staff gave the second starting spot to Josh Harvey-Clemons, and are clearly hoping for big things in his second year.

--Likewise, at cornerback, Orlando Scandrick got plenty of work in opposite Josh Norman, with Quinton Dunbar becoming the third cornerback in nickel situations. Scandrick can also play slot corner, so view that as a fluid situation at the moment

I also read a couple things about Richardson and Quinn...all positive. WR is gonna be an interesting bag...Im just hoping for health in that group when the season opens.

Doctson needs to make a big jump forward this year

If he doesn't have a good camp, don't expect Gruden to play him as a starter just because he's a first round pick. Doctson needs a strong, HEALTHY camp.

I just don't see Doc being a true WR1, he's a solid WR2 IMO

What makes Doctson a "solid" WR2? He hasn't done Jack Schnitt in the NFL. We homer fans have him w-a-a-a-y overrated.

His ability to make tough catches like he has done, but his knock is can he stay healthy

i think he needs to improve his routes, improve on getting separation better, which he isnt the fastest guy -- his "spectacular catch" rating would be high in madden 12 ......

I don't remember any real tough contested catch from Doctson last season... I remember 2 dropped TDs though.

The seattle game winner? The jump ball in the EZ against Dallas?

He’s definitely got the skills to be a #1, he just needs to prove it now

I don't think he has the skills to be a 1. To me he plays too soft, doesn't seem to play witb any intensity. He's really good at jump balls but that's about it. If it's 3rd and 7 and we need a go to guy to make a tough catch it ain't Doc. That guy was Garcon.

P Rich has been stealing the show apparently, Kein said "His impact has been felt" Good to hear

His speed should help open things up underneath for Reed, Crowder, etc
