re: Redskins Players Gather for Another Workout (Day 3 Notes Start on Post #98)

I hold nothing against any player not attending...These "workouts" are a circus IMO. Nothing is being accomplished outside of maybe a little team bonding, but they can bond by going to the dinner or any other activity together also. These practices are a publicity stunt across the league to try and get the public on their side. The same way Roger Goodell's phone calls to season ticket holders are an attempt to gain public sentiment for the owners side.

Well to be fair, players need to be more conservative with their money at this time, and part of that might be not spending a $1,000 on a plane ticket to go to an unofficial workout.

I agree the workouts aren't all that helpful without coaches there, but I'm not sure it's just a PR move. I think players are genuinely eager to get back to work and these workouts are at least helping to get playbooks out to the rooks and getting them into the fold.

Man, I'm so proud of these guys. Very impressive turnout...bit disappointed Orakpo, Landry, and Williams didn't show up.

Same. Not showing much leadership from those guys whatsoever. It's ok, their pockets straight. *rolls eyes*

Maybe...I am not really down on individual players...just their leadership. Many of them may have a genuine interest in getting back to work but that doesn't make these workouts productive. I do agree though that getting the playbooks to rookies is big...provided that they are able to understand it without having coaches install it in practice. I guess any bit of familiarity they gain from flipping through it has to help somewhat though...

D Smith spoke with the players afterward

Jarvis Jenkins among those not there today

Me: So Beck looked pretty good today?

Colleague at Practice: You know, honestly, he kind of reminds me of your guy Chase Daniel. He's smart, makes good decisions, and I trust him in the short to intermediate game. But I just don't know that his arm is strong enough to go deep or last in a game where he needs to throw 20+ passes.

Me: There's only one Chase Daniel!...what about Rex

Colleague: If you could trust him to handle himself under pressure, he'd be the best QB we've had here in the past decade

Me: Seems like quite an ask

Colleague: No doubt. But from a pure throwing perspective he's been awesome
Thats the key, I think give Grossman decent protection and he won't have to handle himself (hopefully) under pressure. He would be our best option right now until the team decides on a franchise QB.

On a side note.... I miss Chase Daniels. lol. Can we trade Portis to the Saints for Daniels?

I dont think its a PR stunt and actually do think its value added 2 ways: introduce the Skins rookies to systems and team chemistry. I think Beck and Hanky wouldnt be staying after practice if neither of the previous two things werent being met. Im proud of the guys, especially London. But to the key vets who are not there, Im kinda disappointed. Even though its not required, its the right thing to do if you can get there. This culture is changing and we need everyone aboard.

I hope he shows something this year, still could make that 2nd round passable. Plus, him, Hankerson, Moss, Armstrong if they all turn it up, we could actually have a legit receiving CORPS. That would be the first time in a long time.

Wow that was a good read. Almost felt like a formal minicamp write up, like real football for a second

Yeah his versatility has been a blessing, good to see Rocky out there practicing with us though.
