Redskins Training Camp Thread wk 1

[MTK]

6 weeks til the season opener. Plenty of time to get him up to speed.

[MTK]

He's going to play wk 1, at least that's the plan barring a setback. Taking things slow is to help ensure he doesn't have that setback. Trust the process folks.

You know, from what I'm hearing from people both at Redskins TC and on Twitter (''the insiders'') I may want to change my roster prediction for CBs and WRs. I think theres a good chance--as of right now-- that Chase Minnifield makes the roster and Devery Henderson/Stallworth/Briscoe/Dawson does not make the roster for that ''6th WR spot''.

So it would be 6 CBs (Hall, Amerson, Wilson, Crawford, Biggers, Minnifield)

and 5 WRs (Garcon, Morgan, Moss, Hankerson, Robinson)

I think we should hold onto Minnifield. I could see Briscoe not making the cut. Didn't he ride the bench all last season? Dawson could easily be a Niles Paul replacement although I feel like they wanna hang onto him for ST purposes.

Just hopefully not kickoff returns.

Briscoe was awful last year. He droppedore passes than he actually caught. Well at least that's what it seems like from my perspective. He didnt have very many chances and he blew more than his fair share.

We have to have come up with a better option out of the UDFAs and Vets we brought in this offseason.

Eventhough they are not proven in battle or have seen minimal action (Crawford) I really like Crawford, Minnifield and Amerson. 3 young CB's that I think will be solid players. I would hate to see Crawford or Minnifield cut, can't wait to see what they do in games. I think they will surprise.

Minnifield has the talent to play in the NFL. I think that only a flare-up of his serious knee problems could hold him back. If his knee holds up, he should make the 53-man roster because there is no way that a healthy Minnifield would last on the Practice Squad.

If Skye Dawson makes the team, it will be primarily due to his punt and KO return skills. But I don't think it is necessarily a choice between a WR or a CB. For one thing, I see no need to keep 4 TE's. To me, Niles Paul must surely be on the bubble. So it could turn out to be 6 WR's, 6 CB's, and 3 TE's.

I feel the same way about Niles, but a lot of insiders say he's pretty much a lock to making the team.

Well not serious emphasis.

Hm. Serious isn't the word I want. I'm not sure what phrase I want to use there, but Jesus, I was just saying.

Operation Patience in action

[JoLo]

Watching that Dawson kid run routes eerily reminds me of Victor Cruz a couple years back. I say we keep that kid, he looks like he has some serious slot potential for slot.

[CRedskinsRule]

From the Operation Patience article:

The on-field results have been mixed, though. In 7-on-7 drills Saturday, Griffin overthrew two ‘go’ routes and a post. Observers debate how comfortably he appears to plant on his right leg at the top of his drops.

“That’s one thing we all pointed out when watching film — after the knee injury, it was a lot harder to plant off the back leg,” Griffin said. “As the games went on, it got a little bit better, a little bit better, until the Seattle game when it got re-hurt.

“That’s one thing that the coaches have been paying attention to. I’ve paid attention to it in rehab, and I feel like I’m past that. I feel like I can plant off my back leg just like I did before the injury.”

Still my biggest fear, it sounds like some are telling Griffin that his planting is still shaky at times, but he says he's past that. One thing the Shanahans need to realize is that Griffin is always going to feel better about his body then what might really be happening.

I think thats one of the reasons they are being cautious with him. He said after popping his LCL in the Seattle game (At least I believe he had popped the LCL on that second drive right before the second TD) that he was ok to keep playing. Shanny got ripped for believing RG3, and he isnt going to go through that again.
