Kevin Barnes sounds ready to step up

I like the confidence in his statements. CB's have to be confident!
“The best thing I did last year is learn how to practice,” Barnes said. “I went out there every day even though I wasn’t sure I was going to play that Sunday and I dominated every day of practice and gave the coaches a fit. That really built my confidence, so once I really got in there, I made a few things happen. I just know that I’m really capable of playing at that level now.”

Kevin Barnes expects much more of himself in 2010 - Redskins Journal (http://blogs.fredericksburg.com/redskinsjournal/2010/03/11/kevin-barnes-expects-much-more-of-himself-in-year-2/)

Also, sounds like the FO is getting the message out loud and clear, you want to start/play here, prove it on the field. Great message, great culture change.

Good to hear. We NEED another CB to step up and push or replace Carlos. Barnes is capable.

Lets just hope we don't draft Jahvid Best...he'll be afraid to practice and we'll have another Portis on our hands. :D

I think KB has a chance to really shine this year ... now that's Smooty Tang is out he should see plenty of opportunities

Carlos is confident and he's a dick, Kevin is and it's great.

Fact is, every CB has to be cocky as hell and think they're the best guy in the NFL. Every CB gets beat, it's just how it is -- that attitude is what allows them to bounce back that next play and lock him down. I love the attitude, look forward to seeing him play the nickle this year.

All I know is he plays pretty well on Madden '10. :)

Good to hear from the second year guy though. Let's hope JH will use the kid to the best of his ability.

If Carlos could catch an INT and not blow assignments, he would be considered a lot less of a dick. If there's true competition at CB this year, unless we bring in a proven FA, Barnes will be a starter before the halfway point of this season.

lol!

Talk is cheap...not looking to seeing him get toasted next season. They better provide him with some safety cover.

Like the confidence lets see if he can back it up.

HTTR.
