Just things that stood out to me.

-Matt Jones is huge and nimble! Although he's always looking to run someone over it gets him in trouble. He runs high a lot of the time and I can't tell if it's just because he's so big or he isn't keeping his pads low. He takes as many blows as he gives. Reminds me of Barber from Dallas a few years ago.

-Alfred Morris looks bigger this year. He's also looking great catching the football out of the backfield.

-Ryan Grant is going to win a spot on this team this year. If he doesn't, then someone will grab him. He gives even our starting DB's fits with his route running in 1v1's. He's so smooth out of his breaks and has great hands.

-Our offense is throwing a lot of check downs. Our defensive line gets such great penetration that RG3 gets rid of the ball to prevent the sack. I don't think it's because our offensive line is doing poorly because they seem to do great in individual drills, but because our Defensive Line is really going after it.

-I was not a supporter of the Joe Barry hire, but now I am. He is such a aggressive defensive coach and fired up everyday on the field. He demands respect on the field. He gets guys fired up for every play. Him and Callahan are fun to watch during practice coaching the guys up.

-We need to get Trent Williams signed. The guy is a WR playing offensive line. He absolutely destroyed Kerrigan all day yesterday.

-Trent Murphy reminds me of a poor mans Kerrigan. He doesn't get a lot of pressure on passing downs, but has a high motor. He's really getting after it, and if he had another 30 lbs on him would make a great penetrating DE. I don't see him starting on OLB week 1. He just seems to be a great depth guy for us. That's my opinion.

-Keenan Robinson is being used as a blitzing LB a lot in TC. He's getting to the QB a lot. I'm not sure if that's going to be our game plan with him this year or not. Or if they are just trying to get RG3 work with middle pressure and crashing the outsides so he can work on stepping up to the left/right side pockets.

-Jordan Reed is open almost every play. If he can stay healthy it will be great.

-The difference of having Breeland at Nickel and Rogers is night and day. Crowder had a huge day yesterday with Rogers in the slot. So did Roberts. The first 2 days you wouldn't of even known Roberts was on the field.

-M. Moses looks good this year. He struggled a few times against Kerrigan but that's to be expected against our best pass rusher. If they were to move Sherff to guard and have Moses at RT starting the season. I wouldn't be surprised.

If I can remember anything else. I'll add it here. I will say that it was a lot of fun watching these guys up close. If you have a question about a player. I could add what I saw, if I remember.

Great stuff!!! thanks.....Ive heard the exact samething about Moses at Tackle...the exact samething.

I love this guy's playing style. Hopefully he's able to avoid serious injuries.

Gruden acknowledged that Matt Jones' physicality in practice has the attention of defenders, who are eager to return favor.#RedskinsTalk

GREAT to hear and tx for the report.....

From reading what Kiem had observed RG III looks much better this year, and not incompetent like many projected heading into camp.

Very excited about the new defensive players and adding Junior G may end up being a coup for the Skins. We have potentionally 4 starting OLB and 2 proven pass rushers. I can't complain about that. I am very happy so far from what I have read. If we can keep it together and win some games early in the season the defense may carry us at the end.

I can't wait to see this team in preseason.

I just want to be able to watch 16 games of Redskins football this year. The last two I haven't made it to the end before I started planning things on Sunday.

Didn't know where to put this:

Do you think McLovin is on the phone with his agent. Just thinking/talking out loud.

I would thinks so , unless they really love the guys they have . Of course $$$ would also be a consideration .

I wonder if Dan has given SM keys to RedSkin1

[That Guy]

how good is he? they released him to save $2mill. I mean, i'm sure he improves our depth a lot, but does he start here? if not, I don't know why he'd come here to be a depth player.

They also have to pay some other guys and he is just the odd man out there, but does he fit with us for a scheme perspective??

i don't think it matters. he's going to go somewhere where he'll be a starter, which probably isn't here.

Says a lot about what fans think about upcoming season. Fan appreciation day will still be stupid packed.

Very disappointing. Had high hopes for Mitchel.

Thanks again Bucket.

I'd love to see Moses develop into our RT with Scherff moving to G; mainly, because I think Scherff could be a great G rather than just a good T.

How does the team look in training camp? I keep reading stories about RG3 and the defense looking good.

What is the local media saying?
