Nice renovations they've done to Redskins park.

So.. A lot has been to Redskins park, but isn't there more renovations to occur over the next 8 years? I thought that was why they went to Bon Secours. Or was Richmond a site to not only appease Shanny but to use the money received from the deal, to fund the Rpark renovations?

^^ Thats a bit concerning. I kind of want all players to be confident in NFL settings to be superstars on the field. He was a playmaker in college. Rookie skits and performances are expected. I've never heard of a stage fright issue in camp with the guys meant to be "bonding" with and building "chemistry" with. Being silly and yourself are supposed to be the easy part of being a pro. If he can't do that, then learn the playbook and visualize being better than Fred. It starts tonight rook'.

Pretty sure a lot of people have never heard of an NFL rookie having this type of issue because if it does happen (which I'm sure it happens, probably amongst plenty of rookies on plenty of teams) it doesn't make headlines. I don't think there are any players that would want to rat out a rookie teammate like that to the media for being introverted.

Maybe he's just a reserved type of person. No big deal.

yeah . . . public speaking is terrifying to a lot of people . . . if you put 100 people that i know in my house for a party, i have no problem talking to any of them or even yelling across all of them to get someones attention on the other side of the room . . . that being said, give me a speech to say, put me in front of a podium in that same house with the same 100 people and i will be nervous as hell . . . the podium is like a nervous switch or something . . . i have worked on that for 20 years now and still have issues at times . . .

Tip #1: Ditch the podium.

lol . . . tis easy to do most times . . . but when speaking at seminars not so much . . . lol

What Matty said. Some people, by nature, are more introverted. Others are much more comfortable being in the spotlight and the center of attention. No problem with Reed being a more reserved type of person. That's no indication of how he plays on the field.

[NYCskinfan82]

IMO people are looking at Reed like Hernandez, both played at florida from Connecticut quiet guys. Every book is different.

I teach public speaking for a living. Confidence speaking and confidence doing other things have nothing to do with one another. I know plenty of quality athletes who struggle with public speaking.

I've listened to a few former athletes like that on the NFL Network!!!!

[Green Monk Machine]

Should the team seek a 3rd QB to finish the preseason w/ no hope to make the team or know the playbook? I guess I've answered my question.
Does a guy like Seneca Wallace help the WR's better demonstrate their skills more so than white ?
Perhaps now we can make lemonade and evaluate Thompson, Jamison and focus on the run game and not waste carries on KWilliams or Royster who we know what they can do.

Amazing what winning does huh

The Redskins News section links to this : RG3, coaches focused on his lower body mechanics in push toward final clearance - Washington Times

Decent read, but of import is that Griffin has taken full speed reps against the ones. That's good progress. I wonder how the reps are getting split now? I don't think we will find much out, but I can't imagine Rex or PWhite getting many first team reps, even though they will probably get all the playing time the next two games. Good chance for both to put tape out there. Heck if PWhite could somehow put enough on tape, maybe the Skins could get a 6th or 7th round pick, from a qb hungry team.

Less than 3 weeks to MNF

Pat White was cut from the Virginia Destroyers of the UFL. I doubt any NFL team is going to trade for him. Especially given that they know he will be cut.
