Great news on both fronts both expect and not as expected.

Helu had some kind of procedure done. Never heard of "dry-needling" before.

Acupuncture?

Roy Helu - Washington Redskins - 2013 Player Profile - Rotoworld.com

Helu Jr.’s Health Makes Football Fun Again

Helu Jr. attributed his series of leg injuries in the NFL to tight muscles in his lower body.


Following a regimen known as dry needling, he was able to release some of the tension known as trigger points, which in turn relaxed and strengthened his muscles.


“I’ve seen great results from that,” he said. “I still have time to recover over these next few weeks. I still need more motion in the toe, but to be out there doing my job is fun.”


During OTAs and minicamp, Helu Jr. practiced with teammates for the first time since September and said that he felt physically and psychologically refreshed.


“I feel good. I feel I’ve gotten to the point that I can compete at a high level, and I’m thankful for that,” he said. “I’m out there running a lot of plays without pain. I guess that’s the best measurement.”

He also credited faith and family for helping him find perspective during the rehab process.

Breakout year for ... Kyle Shanahan?

Since we are waiting for the start of TC, just thought you might want something to read.

Very good article. I really hope our 3rd down conversion improves, we could have one a lot more games last season if this stat had been better.

I think whoever wrote this has a lot of faith in Niles Paul. I know last year was his first year as TE, but he needs to catch the damn ball period.

I don't remember hearing (before this article) that Kyle had the authority to pull RG in the Seattle game, anyone? It was all on Mike from media reports I remember, but if Mike took all the blame publicly to protect Kyle that's understandable.

Lots of other assumptions in the article too. Moss was open a lot...because he's our best WR overall hands down. He runs the best routes and is far superior to Garcon for instance at creating separation. But I doubt RG just never made it to Moss in his reads. There was more to the story.

And predicting a breakout for Niles Paul aside from bad acne is a huge leap of faith.

And the assumption Polumbus starts...hopefully false lol. I can't believe he's still on the roster after watching him whiff on so many blocks or just get man-handled by any Turd Ferguson that goes hard.

But those are really the only negatives. I really think there's huge potential if we put it all together and maximize our resources.

^^^Fair assessment on KS. Actually, hadn't thought of it, but like the author points out, if we win the Seattle game, he might have been offered a HC job. I think one reason that our offense will be feared this year, is because of "CONSISTENCY". Every primary starter on offense will be on the same page and that is a huge plus in this day and age of the everchanging world we live in!

Sure. If he won against SEA with Cousins he would be a HC somewhere else and maybe Cousins would be his QB in a package deal. Lol.

From what I know, if Kyle had that authority he would have been pulled. He may not have even played against Dallas

Very interesting. Could son be wiser than father already?

I'm doing my Mr. Burns "excellent" impression every time I'm seeing pats fans mention Jordan Reed on twitter. So many fans saying "we should have drafted Jordan reed! He plays just like Aaron!"

Yes and as redskins fans lets hope Jordan is completely different from Aaron off the field.

Not sure which was a worse read, the blog or the comments.
