Redskins OTAs Continue

OTA notes: Practice interrupted for sloppy play - Rich Tandler's Real Redskins (http://www.realredskins.com/rich-tandlers-real-redsk/2012/06/ota-notes-practice-interrupted-for-sloppy-play.html)

Yaay...Rex highlights:

If Rex does have to come in and play, the playbook will have to be tweaked substantially. He never looked very fast rolling out but after watching RG3 on the move and the watching him, well, they’re not on the same planet.

Rex heaved a wounded duck to Niles Paul, who was open down the sideline. Paul made the catch but a starting NFL defensive back would have knocked it down or picked it off.

We get good Rex/bad Rex in practice, too. He had some great touch on a fade that dropped right into Paul’s arms in the end zone.

^ I love the way RG1 and RG3 are getting most of the attention. It lets Cousins handle his business with out getting all Kirked out. :>

Has Minnifield been participating at all or is he just sitting out?


From redskins.com:


Quarterbacks Rex Grossman and Kirk Cousins were each given and opportunity to lead a 3-minute drive at the end of practice.* Griffin III was given only two minutes in the hurry-up offense.

Cousins went first, and completed a pass to running back Morris, who fell, recovered and streaked down the sidelines.* Cousins' drive stalled two plays later when cornerback Chase Minnifield and lineman Delvin Johnson corralled him for a "sack."

The good news he didn't turn the ball over. lol.

Wasn't able to do it. Was trying to work it into my schedule, but had to help out a family member. Only good thing is, it's OTA's after all.

Might as well add the rest of the info. Rex had a nice pass to Paul in the endzone for a TD. RG3 threw to 3 different Receivers to get down the field then on his last pass with 7 seconds left his pass to the endzone was tipped twice before being intercepted.


Grossman completed four consecutive passes to Brandon Bankshttp://www.redskins.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.redskins.com/team/roster/brandon-banks/957cdded-0be2-4e32-a11f-4ef56ddd03ce/) and Paul, including a back-shoulder touchdown pass to Paul in the back of the end zone.
With a shortened clock, Griffin III completed four passes to Santana Mosshttp://www.redskins.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.redskins.com/team/roster/santana-moss/a2ed130a-472f-4344-98e2-5886022702db/), Pierre Garçon and Joshua Morgan. With seven seconds left on the clock, Griffin III threw a pass to the end zone that was twice tipped before being intercepted by DeAngelo Hallhttp://www.redskins.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.redskins.com/team/roster/deangelo-hall/7b66d6ea-fe1b-4b31-997b-069a3d0e6627/).

Last I heard he wasn't really playing yet

So far all I've heard is "team's not looking too sharp today overall"
I guess I need to go change my worst to first post.

Why isn't Hankerson going to participate until training camp starts? Still rehabbing his injury?

Preventative measure, hopefully?

I'm really looking forward to him turning into our number one receiver.......even with Garcon and Morgan here, I think if he can get some good vibes going between him and RG3, he could become our best offensive weapon before years end (other than Davis)

They're just easing Hankerson back in.

Leonard Hankerson has been rehabbing that hip injury of his. Mike Shanahan has said that he's fully healthy. They have given him limited reps during OTAs because he's coming back from that injury. It's safer to ease his load until training camp begins.
