J.D. Skolnitsky, DE Long Shot with Proto Type Size and Speed

He just needs to be careful about the weight gain supplements he's taken and not get suspended for taking a banned substance again.

I'm rooting for Buzbee though

I'd guess he learned a lesson on that. Either that or he's an idiot.

Lets not forget that Scott Norwood went there too? Laces out Dan!

Dukes 02

I gotta disagree with both points in bold. Buzbee isn't as long of a long shot as you think. Apparently he's been impressive, and my buddy who is a trainer out at Redskins Park says he looks great. On the flip, I hear the Rob Jackson is very far away from being a lock to say the least.
Well I was just going on what I heard from Redskins tv and Vinny on those shows about Jackson. Obviously, you sound like you have better info, from inside. Would love to see Buzbee make the team.

Gentlemen:

I am shocked and very pleasantly surprised.

We have more than 20 posts here and no one has yet declared that Messr. Skolnitsky is the second coming of Lawrence Taylor blended with Dick Butkus, Chris Hanberger and Jack Pardee.

Carry on...

Thats nice but a trainer just knows who is injuired. I think looks alone dont make good football players. Buzzbee has not played in regular season game yet. So i think some back up spots are up for grabs.

As a JMU alum I can tell you I never thought Skol would be anything on the next level. He has some tools and the right makeup phyiscally but he didn't ever dominate. He's more of a motor guy. Had he not fouled up he would have had a real nice senior year and we'll miss him(JMU that is) but I was surprised he came out of camp with a contract. He just never seemed like he had something for the next level. We'll see. I am guessing his size and tools make him nice camp fodder...maybe he can parlay that into a practice squad spot. He's from Fairfax so his family is near. So that's cool.

If we wanted to really look at the Wildcat then the better JMU alum would have been Landers. I watched the guy for 3 years and I will tell anyone and everyone this. The guy can straight play. He's a bigger stronger version of Edwards(from App State) I know TB is interested in him in the secondary but I always thought he would be a perfect Slot/Wildcat type player. Very much a Kordell Stewart. This past year he threw for like 17 TDs, ran for another 16, Pased for 1700 YDs and ran for 1100. 4 Ints. That's right 33 TDs and 4 Ints. All in the CAA which is universally regarded as the best I-AA conference by a wide margin. Relative to competition he is the best player I have ever seen and it's not even close. Had he gone to VATech he'd have left early and would be starting somewhere in this NFL already. But he wanted to play QB and they wanted him to play Safety/HB/WR. So off to JMU.

Sounds like he made the wrong choice not to attend VTech. He missed out on a payday if he is that good.
