The Official 2010 Training Camp Thread

That's huge, not only because he's impressing, but Carter at backup is some VERY quality depth.

i'm very impressed with alexander too. He's done everything this team has ever asked him to do - and done it well - and now he may finally be rewarded for his hard work. if i'm not mistaken, this would be the first time he's been penciled in as a starter in his entire career. i'm not so sure that carter would stay as a backup though. there's no cap in 2010, but i think if the skins could save any considerable amount of "real" money by releasing him, i think they would.

He's got to be disappointed, though. He's went from having the best year of his career (thanks largely to Haynesworth) to being a backup in a defense that doesnt fit him well. I admire his class in keeping his mouth shut and not becoming a problem, but i also feel pretty bad for the guy.

I don't think Carter has a position in a 3-4. But he is our best pass rusher so I would expect to see him and Orakpo coming off the edges on 3rd downs.

Regarding Colt ... I just think he's one of those guys that just needs to play in the games. He's just not a practice type of player.

It would be interesting to see how many sacks did Carter get when AH was out of the line up. Not taking anything away from AH but I never see Carter being double teamed, before of after AH got here.

Carter and Zoe are competing at OLB.

Man, I just watched some of the videos with the coaches on redskins.com and I am so sick of these reporters just asking these dumbass questions about Haynesworth. I would have liked to see some more questions asked about the other 79 guys in camp.

Sorry, I know it's a little off-topic but just had to vent a little.

I'm looking forward to seeing if the Bartel Brotherhood will beat out the Cult of Colt for the #3 qb job. I guess we will see.

And nice to hear about DT and FD looking sharp. Sounds like we are hearing a glass half full kinda deal, some good, some bad.

Also very impressed to hear about Zoe taking first team reps away from Carter. I can't believe he was playing defensive tackle when we first brought him in and now he's competing for the starting outside linebacker job.

Agree tired of the media just dwelling on this topic time to move on.

Day two comes to an end.

Walk-through ends first two-a-day practice

The Washington Redskins completed their first day of two-a-day practices with a low-key, low-intensity walk-through.

Players rarely needed to do more than a jog lightly during the session as the offense and defense worked through shadow drills on separate fields. They came together only for some special teams work. The practice lasted about an hour.

After the practice, defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth worked with defensive line coach Jacob Burney on a side field.

I hear...

LJ looks strong and is running with a purpose (whatever that means)

Torain looks sharp. My man!

CP and WP have lined up some at WR.

Bartel as previously mentioned looked good.

Colt msifiring badly
Fred Davis is a beast

Barnes still struggling badly, Tryon very inconsistent (DB depth is def something to keep an eye on)

Alexander continues to really impress everyone

That's okay, he makes up for his horrible accuracy with his incredible athleticism!!
