Eskins just doing that to get more followers.

This Griffin shit apparently will never and. Smh

[Evilgrin]

I don't like Mike Wise, but he drilled Florio good a few years ago on the radio. He reminds of a terrible version of Pete Vecsey...

Who's looked the best returning kick-offs? Also, how's Helu doing?

Edit: I forgot to ask about Marvin Burdette. Has he shown anything worth mentioning?

[That Guy]

well, this rgiii whining is still better than the pat white is our next future HoF QB crap we would have had if RG3 wasn't here.

so i can live with it, the alternative could be a lot worse.

Say what you want about Shanahan, but I'd be surprised if he went that much against a Dr's recommendation in this case, esp w/RG3.

Mike Jones ‏@MikeJonesWaPo 15m
Shanahan has been ultra cautious, even holding RGIII back slower than Andrews recommended. He wouldn't ignore doc on return date.

John Keim ‏@john_keim 14m
at each step since surgery, Shanahan has been the more conservative of this trio.

John Keim ‏@john_keim 19m
Let me be latest to add a "Not true" from a #Redskins official re: report stating Dr. Andrews recommended RG3 sit out until bye

Grant Paulsen ‏@granthpaulsen 24m
Source tells me that the report that James Andrews told the #Redskins to sit Robert Griffin until after the bye week is erroneous.

Thanks for that in depth twitter search Matty. Nice research. Who is this Erslin guy anyway?

[cdskins26]

Normally not the type who takes pleasure in arguing back at people on twitter but the Eskin report was too easy. He is the Donovan McNabb of reporting, using RGIIIs fame to make himself relevant

I saw Moss, Thompson, Dawson, Crawford to name a few working on formations no contact so I couldn't really say.

Burdette can't really say remember seeing his jersey but dont remember a bad or good play.

Forgot to type this London Fletcher looks good got 2 INT over the middle, on one of them he pulled from the WR's hands (I believe Dawson).

[JoLo]

I hope kickoffs is either Dawson or Thompson. I really dont like Paul back there at all.

I'm hoping it's Dawson. But I don't want him to be on the roster if the only way he's going to contribute is returning kicks. He needs to add something to the passing game too. If he can't, then I'll be happy with Niles Paul back there; he was solid after he took over.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

I would Rather Dawson. No one fears Paul back there.

[Skinzman]

With KO's being moved up 5 yards and the NFL seeming like they would rather do without them, we need whoever it is to be able to play on offense. No more of the days of a KO return specialist. Thats becoming a waste of a roster spot.

agreed. Plus I think our offense should be potent enough that a simply solid returner will give us consistent starting field position, and if we need happen to need a spark you put Crawford, Hall, or Moss back there.

[SirLK26]

As long as the returner can consistently get around 20-25 yards a return and doesn't fumble it away, I'll be satisfied. I would rather have a solid, consistent returner than a guy who averages over 30 yards a return, but you can't trust to hang on to the ball. Also, I'm not worried about the position at all; at the very least we'll have Niles Paul again, who had a decent 21.8 average.
