Training camp 2011 thread

gotta say pretty disappointed in the depth chart. Wanted to see Beck Riley and about anybody but Reed D at safety. Woulda been nice to see Hankerson or Armstrong outplaying Gaffney. How come I got this funny feeling Landry not gonna be ready for week 1?

I know its just the first chart, but like its been stated, with the shortened offseason, preseason games alittle more important this year.

Reed D. is a nice backup, why the hate?

That looks like a great D to me, except for Doughty filling in for Landry. Get LaRon on that list and it's really an impressive group. I can foresee a Top-10 defense this season. Growth from the year 1 3-4 holdovers and gaps being filled by the additions.

Last year was a tough transition year...a new scheme for everyone and not enough 3-4 guys on the roster to run it successfully. This season will be a dramatic improvement.

I see us having a bottom half of the league offense in terms of yards. I think our offense will put up so few points other teams won't have to run the score up. I like our safety combo, but hate our corner combo. I see us giving up a lot of big plays through the air, and some decent plays on the ground.

I still don't think Orakpo is great at OLB. At some point you need to stop doing the same move. It became obvious the holds weren't being called. Get to the QB. Kerrigan is a rookie in the middle of a position change, I expect very little from him. Fletcher is ancient. I think our DL looks pretty good, except I wish we had a more prototypical NT. I'll give Cofield a chance to play that position before I make any judgements.

I hope I'm wrong. However, I see our defense as pedestrian. I'm not a big Hasslet fan and think we still lack some of the explosive 3-4 components.

I don't think we've passed on Tatupu. But most indications are he's leaning toward the Bears...with the Raiders as a dark horse

This may be the case but we definatley have an offer on the table. It's an offer the Team likes and is good for us. We aren't overpaying anyone anymore so it's up to Lofa .. J Wilson is still working him too

Reed D. is a nice backup, why the hate?

yeah hes not bad as a guy who comes in specific packages (goaline, playin up on the line) and a nice special teams player, but hes not an every game starter. I had zero clue Landry would still be hurtin at this point. I really hope LL is gonna be ready.

I think Laron will be fine. He says that the goal was never be ready for preseason, but for 9-11

Don't forget we are still talking to Tatupu

I forgot about Jackson, but I've pretty much given up on the Tatupu idea. because there has been no more chatter about it from anyone other then us fans. Plus the team has brought in other players since. But if they bring him in then it will be a nice suprise but otherwise I've figured the team made an offer and he's wanting more so he's holding out thinking someone's LB will get hurt and he will get what he's looking for or he's wanting to play for a specific team and they have not shown much interest.

From what I hear they want him but at there price. It's going to come down to if he wants to be a Redskin and I'm cool with that

Do you guys even read? Really?

It's understandable why you ask that question. Link simplify's matters just a little wouldn't you say?
