Sean Taylor studying Ed Reed

[SKINSnCANES]

Feel feel to disagree with me, but working out at the U is NOT a bad thing. Its not good for team spirit, but the fact of the matter is they are NOT practicing at redskins park right now. They are NOT running plays. They are lifting weights as a team. He is probably getting more practice in Miami then if he was at Redskins park.

Miami guys stick together whether the league or any of us likes it or not. They all work together and help each other. And you know what, it works. When Edgerin James got drafted, he went back and worked out and taught Portis, who also did the same thing. Just like bubba franks helped teach shockey who helped teach winslow. The list goes on and on.

When practices start, then they better be there. But this istn practice yet its just workouts.

They're not running through plays like they do in camp like in 7 on 7s, but still, this is a great time for Ramsey to work with the WRs to establish some chemistry and get a feel for one another.

There's still plenty of official camps and practices ahead, it would just be nice if they could be getting a head start on things.

I agree it's not critical for them to be in DC right now, but in the spirit of "team", they should be there. Otherwise don't show up at your introductory press conference like Moss did and tell us how you're such a team guy.

I agree Matty, Moss saying he's a team guy doesn't jibe with him missing the first voluntary camp. And I think he should be there and if I was in his shoes I would be there.

But come January we will not even remember that Moss missed the first voluntary workout. Plus it's a precautionary measure, until he signs the new deal that the Skins have already all but promised him I wouldn't expect him to show up for anything voluntary. If anything it's our fault for not A) negotiating the new deal before we made the deal and B) promising him a new deal in the first place.

I don't think there will be any chemistry issues, it's not like the voluntary camps helped Brunell out last year.

A team guy as long as the money is right?
