I was watching that mini-camp video posted on ESPN.com. They mentioned that Devin Thomas dropped a long ball by McNabb. I don't know why everyone is so high on him. He reminds me of Rob Gardner 2.0.

Yeah man.. that's why I don't want to draft Okung, he's given up a sack before. Reminds me of Heyer.

DT has better hands than Gardner, no question.

Seriously. One drop in a mini camp and he's Rod Gardner? Nah. I think DT will really blossom this year. He came on so strong last year down the stretch before that ankle sprain. He's entering that 3rd year where a lot of young WR's take that next step up. Throw in a McNabb and a proven offense, and I think he's got a legit chance to be our #1 all year.

Wouldn't that make you so happy, GTripp?

seriously, no knock on jc, but he isn't mcnabb. mcnabb is a proven leader and pro bowler who can make receivers that aren't very good look good. i think dt is poised to have a break out year, i just don't have the same feeling about kelly, he just seems to have to much keyshawn in him for my liking but time will tell. and not to mention we should be able to make it through this entire year without swapping play callers mid season

Seriously, I have a hard time figuring these guys out. You hear constant praise about Kelly's work ethic and physical abilities. He made some key catches last year, he just wasn't worked into the fold a lot. He's not running his trap and writing books.

i"ve just heard a few different quotes from him about when they get me the ball, and if they get me involved more, this is what will happen. he said it a couple times last year after he had a decnt game i feel like it was towards the end of the year when dt was out. i just don't get a good vibe from him maybe it's just me. dt just seems to be more of a worker

“Learning curve? It’s football,” the former Oklahoma standout said Monday. “It’s not really as hard as it seems.”

just crap like that i guess, this was from dec 08 but i just feel like thats his attitude towards the game

He admits that he came into it wrong, it'll be fine.

Speaking of "smoke screens" the way the Shanahan's have described our O-line personnel would lead one to believe they're satisfied (at least to some extent) with much of what we already have in place. Could this be a draft disguise or has our personnel been a subject of devalue?

Maybe it's not the intention to draft a tackle at #4 at all, if they decide not too, it would be great if we could find a trade partner to acquire more picks that we so desperately need.

Ok now I'm Fing confused. Please tell me how AH being offered in a trade in order to pick up McNabb constitutes AH is not being traded? It was confirmed by the Eagles.

Everyone get off your high horse and look at the facts.

I too saw a comment made by Mike Shanahan stating we was basically not calling teams and trying to see what they would give for him. In other words he is not trying to trade AH. BUT..... he also stated if the right trade scenario came along he would look into it to see if it benifited the Skins.

I know PFT is not the best news source, but they got their info from the Washington Post this time....
Shanahan says there have been no Haynesworth trade talks, at all | ProFootballTalk.com

No different then PFT though, I agree someones telling a lie.

Hey, if you're gonna lie, you may as well lie big.
