Well the thing is they also have weeks of practices and scrimmages to show their skills as well. And Alridge was fumbling then as well. I mean it's not just Chase's game performances that have him in good position to take the #3 spot. It's also the fact that he practiced well, took what the coaches were saying to him, processed it and improved as the summer went on.

I agree. Maybe I'm just getting soft because I'm feeling good about this team. :)

Seems very close PennSkinsfan. I think Rob Jackson will easily beat out Wynn. I can't see Wynn making the team at all. I might switch Henson and Glenn as well. Henson is the only one of them who actually showed real flashes and is someone to be excited about developing. He was also a special teams standout at TCU.

I bet we keep nine olinemen, but only eight will stick because we are going to pick somebody up on the wire in the next few days.

So it looks like the roster breakout will reportedly be

QB: 3
TE: 3
WR: 5
OL: 9
RB/FB: 5

DB: 9
DL: 8
LB: 8

Not really sure how they plan on counting guys like Orakpo and Wilson (DE or LB?)

K: 1
P: 1
LS: 1

I pay more attention to "character" now, maybe it's Joe Gibbs second coming or simply maturity, but I pay attention to how these guys interview, since I'm not around them personally.

Just like political candidates, players come across differently in interviews & can give you a sharp, however hasty, opinion of them. Watching colt & daniel in back to back interviews left me liking Daniel a lot more. Colt spoke decently, but sounds more fraternity boy than pro qb. Daniel is more reserved & humble, but sounds more professional & aware of his rookie status.

I got a good impression of him & as a qb he seems like a poor man's flutie, a dude that lacks height but isn't concerned w/stats & style points, just does what he needs to win. Colt on the other hand, kinda has me torn. He shows potential & athleticism, but seems immature both as a player & person. A little bit self absorbed for an nfl qb. I think keeping Colt makes more sense, but at the same time I fear he may not have Daniel's staying power. Daniel seems like a guy that will do whatever it takes to make a team & eventually start.

I think Colt's definitely been humbled this summer. He really let a lot of people at Redskins Park down. The expectation was that he would come in and challenge for the #2 spot. He had the attitude, but couldn't back it up.

but do you think he's let them down enough, combined w/Daniel's play, that he'll be on the PS or cut?

No, I still think Colt gets the edge. But who knows, I mean the #3 QB is someone you want to be able to develop and groom into possibly being a starter one day. Chase seems to be the better student of the game, so you could definitely develop him mentally but Colt has the physical advantages that Chase will never have. I think it's a much, much closer competition that anyone expected.

Sounds like a good humbling may have done him some good though. The cocky attitude that was turning some off seems to have melted away and perhaps that's the silver lining in all of this.

Man right now I just don't know how the #3 QB thing is going to shake out. I can really see it going either way.

"Bad timing" can lose you games. No excuses.


These are young men trying hard to impress and win a spot on the roster. Sometime in the process of doing so they lose focus and mistakes follow.

Alridges' fumble last night was no less painful than watching your starting QB fumble three consecutive times in the same game. (reg. season) It can happen to anyone.

Well, my semi-trustworthy sources are saying Chase has a slight edge right now. Very slight
