I disagree.
He was our best player on D last year.
He isn't a track star but he is one of the better CB in the league.
I think this is fair review of him. Year-end cornerback rankings: Richard Sherman lands at No. 1 - NFL.com

I'm excited to see what he can do with a pass rush and competent safeties.

If Kirk signs his extension after the season, he'll be the first to go. Regain some cap space.

I think someone should explain this to Breeland. He doesn't necessarily need to be better than Norman this year to be next years #1 CB, he just needs to show he can be a better value that can play as #1 CB. It's a contract year for both of them right? Maybe he could get out of his own head if he knew that.

Re: Training Camp 2017

Per Keim Oline information- Rookie report: Undrafted free agent guard Kyle Kalis continues to work ahead of Arie Kouandjio with the second offensive line. Kalis has been more consistent, both in one-on-one and full-team work. Kalis hasn't been perfect, but he has shown good technique and vision – he did a nice job seeing and picking up a blitzing corner in full-team work Monday. Kalis has a long way to go to earn a roster spot, but he's at least opened eyes early in camp.

I was listening to one of the sports talk shows a few days ago and they were talking up Kalis. Basically they were saying he's not only making the team, but could be pushing for a starting spot my mid season. That's how impressive he's been. I thought that was a bold statement considering there hasn't even been one pre season game.

Bill Callahan knows what he is doing. I trust him more than any other coach or FO person at Redskins park.

Re: Training Camp 2017

NFL Network isn't replaying our game until Saturday morning. Lame. Was planning to relax and watch Friday night.

Re: Training Camp 2017

norman played about as well as a corner could have in an overall poor team defense. I thought he was solid.

I agree, I thought he played very well. I think people still associate lots of picks as the biggest indicator of being good. The defense this year is supposed to allow for him to make more big plays.

Re: Training Camp 2017

I am not into picks as an indicator of being a good DB, and I thought he did a good job, just was overhyped. Guy was made out to be like Revis during his prime just about. You do make a good point with the rest of the D being suspect. Let's hope that a bit of help will make Josh better!!!!!!!

Re: Training Camp 2017

Also, as far as picks. After he hurt his hand early in the season, he dropped 4 or 5 picks that I think he catches this year.

Re: Training Camp 2017

Very interesting...especially #1. kinda jaw dropping.

Looks like they were going by Scotts boards in both FA and Draft...good to see his influence was rubbing off on people within our personnel dept.

Re: Training Camp 2017

Wanted to past this on about our 3rd string developmental QB Nate Sudfeld...Heard from camp he has been the worst player on the field most the time. He'd probably PS at best at this point...but he's be terrible.
