Redskins Training Camp Thread

[Schneed10]

This is a really high stakes decision for Gruden. He's got a defense that looks strong and he should be able to run the ball pretty effectively - even with Trent out, Penn is still a decent run blocker, and the rest of the line is back in place.

And of course not a lot of weapons. So you realize that for the Redskins winning will look like slugfests, grinding out defensive battles with small margins for error, winning close games 23-20.

Alex was moderately successful in that model last year because he avoided turnovers. He always has. But Colt has always been turnover prone. So that temptation to start the guy who knows his offense best could lead to a couple crucial turnovers that change a game from a 23-20 win to a 26-23 loss.

Gruden needs to get Keenum ready to play for that reason. Colt is going to turn it over too much and Gruden will look like a really poor coach for making that choice. And if he can't get Keenum ready, that will also reflect poorly on him. Hopefully O'Connell will show why he's getting hyped lately.

Well, Keenum is pretty turnover prone too . . . and probably will be more so learning a new offense.

So she is cute...but dime piece? Don’t know. Gonna have to disagree with your post. Would probably hit and quit tho

Probably make her Uber home immediately, she wouldn’t be a sleepover. But I’d let her Uber back to take care of morning wood.

Yes but they had to move out of the 6th round. Not a huge deal but not worth it IMO. Who knows, that pick could end up being a high 6th rounder. Keenum was going to get released. Why sacrifice draft position for a journeymen QB who was going to get cut? Yes that would have possibly brought in competition for his services but who would we be competing against? Maybe the Cards? Just another worthless, stupid trade by Allen. He simply doesn't know who to make trades in the least bit.

I would drink her bath water.. A few years ago she was doing the draft and had a dress on that really showed her coca cola body that she's always hiding. That to me makes her more desirable. That fact that she's sneaky hot and hides her figure. ...lol.

To me that is a big complement, hope you are right. Fitz is one of those guys that treats every ball in the air like it is his and will stop at nothing to get it.

Some of us old guys have trouble keeping up with modern slang. I thought a dime was an assist in basketball. I will venture a guess it is what we called a ten back in the day, as ten on the 1-10 scale.

I may be as old as you are.

Like Schneed has in his signature, if you don't know who the best QB of the three you have are, you don't have a QB. I would have been splitting reps between Colt and Haskins 50% a piece, and had some 3rd stringer on the team too, but I wouldn't have traded for Keenum just to have him taking 33% of the first team reps.

I completely agree with you. What do we have Case for? He's just a JOURNEYMAN QB who has been on FIVE different teams. Does anyone honestly think he is going to come here and light this place up? Our OL is really in trouble without TW. Everyone can tell me that Penn went to the Pro Bowl twice. The guy is 36 years old!!

We're rebuilding our OL, if TW doesn't come back.

We're rebuilding or WR group, after letting ANOTHER 1,000 yd slot WR go to another team.

Case Keenum keeps Haskins from getting reps. Reps he needs NOW, because as long as Colt is the #1 QB Colt is going to be working with the #1 team. Once the regular season starts, the backup QB gets NO reps at all. Then after we lose five games straight, they're going to throw Haskins in there to keep the fans coming to games.

I feel sorry for Gruden, but if he thinks that either Colt OR Case is going to take this team to the playoffs, then he really is delusional. We have an excellent defense. We have an excellent running game IF, the OL can make some holes. I'm not convinced the OL without TW is that good. If the OL is in trouble, then we have no run game and our QB, who both are turnover monsters, will be even more prone to do so.

Part of the reason all the QB in training camp are having troubles is because of the OL. Not the reason for everything, but the pass rush is a factor with this OL.

I had to do further research while not on the work computer. I can now confirm she is a dime. Her tiggles are intriguing

Ignore previous post

I'm starting to thing that unless Doctson gets his foot problem solved he isn't going to make the team.
