Hmm interesting, I thought it would be opposite. It would be awesome if both players could play both positions though.

Yeah, I would have thought the same thing too... Oh well, I guess Matt Bowen was right then.

Bottom of what ticker? And thats odd. I see Phillip as a SS and Rambo as a FS. Then again the Giants play Antre Rolle who is the better athlete/cover guy at SS and Kenny Phillips at FS

NFL Network. This is what I pictured as well when we drafted them.

I really don't think in the long term picture of these two players careers that we need to worry to about wear the head coach is projecting either one of these players. It may turn out to be wear each belongs and it may not . We all know Has will most likely use both at each position anyway. Don't get to hung up on labels before they have even had a padded practice.

From the reports that I've been reading via Washington Post, Rambo will be the SS and Thomas will be the FS. I really don't think it makes much of a difference what safety position they both play because they both can play both positions. Jim Haslett might end up having them both play each safety position interchangeably.

I've been reading from Zack Boyer that the Redskins have been using both of them at both positions and have been asking them to cover guys in the slot as well. I'm very very intrigued to see how they do in training camp.

side note is that Jordan Reed sat out with a bruised knee.

They have been using them to cover guys in the slot? How so? During all rookie camp? lol

Not much of any news coming out of that.

The new name could be a flop. The idiots trying to get our name changed have been suggesting names like Pigskins, Redskin Potatoes and Redtails. Ive heard Senators and Federals which are downright offensive to me because honoring the Government that forced us to throw our team's tradition away is insulting us and giving them undue credit.

Warriors isn't too bad and we could use the spear helmet I guess...but they'll still be the Redskins to me. Hogs...at least that would have some actual meaning for the fans but still an inferior name to Redskins.

We could always go Washington Americans and rightfully steal the America's Team identity from an impotent Dallas team.

Good read for all of you that feel compelled to defend....imaginary PC namesake related wrongs to the Indian nation.........

Native American Chief Talks About Redskins

Dodson is a full-blooded American Inuit chief originally from the Aleutian Tribes of Alaska, and said he was tired of being spoken for as a Native American.
“People are speaking for Native Americans that aren’t Native American. Being a full-blooded Indian with my whole family behind me, we had a big problem with all the things that were coming out [of the discussion],” he said. “I think they were basically saying that we were offended, our people were offended, and they were misrepresenting the Native American nation.
“We don’t have a problem with [the name] at all; in fact we’re honored. We’re quite honored.”

Rambo looks fluid in that last drill, Amerson, not so much. He shows little hip tightness I guess but, it's not the only determining factor of his coverage ability.
