Yeah apparently he can barely put any weight on his foot and Shanny says he could miss another week. Gotta think things are coming to an end for him here. It's too bad, I really thought this could be the year for him.

Looks like Rexy is looking sharp while Beck remains limited with that groin.

Will Montgomery getting into with Fletch and Rocky on separate occasions. I guess he and Fletch exchanged blows to the helmet and he and Rocky needed to be pulled apart by teammates. Getting chippy. I love it.

I was thinking/hoping that this could have been a break out year for him too.

Unfortunitly i think if hes done here because of injury hes gonna be done in the nfl period.

I do not care if Kelly comes back later and has an all-world pre-season. Kelly can not be counted on to stay healthy. It is time to cut ties and use his roster slot on a real football player. Kelly reminds me of Taylor Jacobs. Softie.

LOL.

On a side note, am I late to the news that the writing is on the wall for HB Blades? Saw some stuff on Twitter (they had erroneously reported him as cut)

I was under the impression that for the last 6-8ish years he's been more of a check signer than anything else.

Possibly. It's hard to tell thru the Vinny/Gibbs years how involved he was. I'm sure JG's had final say, but they were all pretty tight. I do think DS has been more of an onlooker in the last couple years than before. That much is obvious.

I'm good w/ our team. The Redskins aren't going to turn it around in 2 or 3 years. I'm really suprised at the amount of people out there that want to criticize MS and BA right now. I'm sure it's the vocal minority. Mostly radio callers and hosts wondering why we didn't go out and get a top QB and wondering what the FO is thinking. It's pretty obvious, they were thinking that we had an old team and it needs to be rebuilt. It's also obvious that they were trying to get as many picks in this past years draft and possible and they didn't think too much of the QB's on the board or they would rather focus on QB next year via FA or the draft.

We're not going to be very good this year, and I'm ok w/ that. I know it's going to be a process. We'll be pretty good in a couple years though. Mark it down.

For the last decade, it's been so easy for people to say the same ol' things about the Redskins/Dan Snyder. People have gotten accustomed to not expecting anything but failure from this franchise, so they act accordingly. Show the least bit of optimism and you're labeled delusional. Certainly, they have a little point being that the franchise has shown little or no progress, but eventually it's going to get it right. I think this is the best thing Snyder has done for the team since he's being the owner. I think it's shown in the front office, and it's just a matter of time until it starts translating on the field.

For the most part I agree with what you're saying...in my opinion the Redskins organization as a whole is similar to the boy who cried wolf...every year there is optimism that the organization has made a turn for the better and every year the fans are disappointed...this year the fans do not see any hope because the organization has not made an effort to address some of the most important needs to for the team, so most fans are just taking a back seat hoping that they are wrong and that progress will be made...

Malcom Kelly may be done w/football. If he's cut he'll likely have one more stop until he's hurt again & then he'll be close to done. His knee has always been an issue, then his hamstring & now foot. He's got nfl size but his body just isn't cut out for it.

[LandrySlice]

Not sure what the depth is like at linebacker, but I think this was written in the sand long ago. Plus, his name isin't as fun anymore now that he wants to be called Horatio????

I'm just drawing attention away from my repeated use of the Picard facepalm picture. LOL.
