Re: Training camp 2011 thread

I'm thinking Trent and Brown will be good on the corners. But I think Will Montgomery is the X factor and could be the lenchpin to the offensive line. If he performs well or exceeds expectations, I could see us having a really good shot at the playoffs.

I know that sounds like a huge leap and putting a lot on one position so early, but if your center performs well that's one less mental thing your QB has in the back of his mind and the running game is usually clicking more often than not.

Redskins Monday camp notes - NFC East Blog - ESPN

Don't know if this has been posted elsewhere but was an interesting read ... most discouraging is Santana's opinion of Beck as just another guy throwing to him, not exactly high praise. On the flip side, Silverback's lost some weight, Hankerson's looking decent and some other good news. Last but not least, it seems like a foregone conclusion that Los will leave so any news on that front?

Actually it was:
But when asked about Beck, Moss shrugged, said he'd played with 10 different quarterbacks in 11 years and doesn't pay much attention to it.

If you have ever seen a Santana interview, that's how he is......high speed....low drag

ehh... close enough or at least that's how I took it - Santana has had 10 different guys throwing to him and this is just #11 in his book.

IDK, maybe that is how Moss is but I was kind of hoping that our #1 receiver (presumably) would be a little more excited about the guy throwing to him

Interesting, this says Beck threw some nice deep passes, while others say he struggled with deep throws. Wish someone could clear this up.

From what I saw, he had two deep balls. One seemed to perfectly reach Armstrong in stride. Armstrong just botched the catch. The other was slightly under thrown, but hankerson made an acrobatic catch, fought with the db and pulled it in - albeit out of bounds. Beck had some really solid, accurate intermediate passes, and some awful ones. Particularly two consecutive d. Hall interceptions.

D HALL is a ball hawk though

That's a positive spin on our crappy QB!

It was funny, he had a pretty good line during an interview shortly after practice. When asked about the interception, he said "it was like picking cherries."

I mean did anyone expect Beck to light it up or guys to really rally behind him? Especially when accuracy and timing (when his release time as a "pro") is an issue?

Hopefully he can pull it together, it has only been week one, but kinda tired of hearing about who Shanny liked out of college, how about pro scouting and who we like NOW

From what I saw, he was mostly sidelined. He did however do some sprints with a resistance band.

Cool dude, he came up after an interview to sign a bunch of stuff for the fans. Seemed like a good guy.

I didn't see any, but that would be funny lol. I was tempted to ask him about his monkey if that makes you feel better.
