Redskins Training Camp Thread wk 1

You know, from what I'm hearing from people both at Redskins TC and on Twitter (''the insiders'') I may want to change my roster prediction for CBs and WRs. I think theres a good chance--as of right now-- that Chase Minnifield makes the roster and Devery Henderson/Stallworth/Briscoe/Dawson does not make the roster for that ''6th WR spot''.

So it would be 6 CBs (Hall, Amerson, Wilson, Crawford, Biggers, Minnifield)

and 5 WRs (Garcon, Morgan, Moss, Hankerson, Robinson)

I think we should hold onto Minnifield. I could see Briscoe not making the cut. Didn't he ride the bench all last season? Dawson could easily be a Niles Paul replacement although I feel like they wanna hang onto him for ST purposes.

Just hopefully not kickoff returns.

Briscoe was awful last year. He droppedore passes than he actually caught. Well at least that's what it seems like from my perspective. He didnt have very many chances and he blew more than his fair share.

We have to have come up with a better option out of the UDFAs and Vets we brought in this offseason.

Eventhough they are not proven in battle or have seen minimal action (Crawford) I really like Crawford, Minnifield and Amerson. 3 young CB's that I think will be solid players. I would hate to see Crawford or Minnifield cut, can't wait to see what they do in games. I think they will surprise.

Minnifield has the talent to play in the NFL. I think that only a flare-up of his serious knee problems could hold him back. If his knee holds up, he should make the 53-man roster because there is no way that a healthy Minnifield would last on the Practice Squad.

If Skye Dawson makes the team, it will be primarily due to his punt and KO return skills. But I don't think it is necessarily a choice between a WR or a CB. For one thing, I see no need to keep 4 TE's. To me, Niles Paul must surely be on the bubble. So it could turn out to be 6 WR's, 6 CB's, and 3 TE's.

I feel the same way about Niles, but a lot of insiders say he's pretty much a lock to making the team.
