Redskins Training Camp Thread wk 1

I can somewhat understand not letting him play pre season, even though I think that's a mistake. Everyone needs a few game reps. I mentioned before that Brady also played pre season after his injury, even though he hurt his knee in Sept the year before. But not even letting him do 11 on 11 in practice? C'mon. That 100% coddling.

I'm with you, although I don't expect him to do any pre-season.

I feel RG3 will probably start the first regular season game, if not a couple games in.

Otherwise we best pad him in bubble wrap before we let him see the field again. :doh:

Lots of Chicken Littles around here.

6 weeks til the season opener. Plenty of time to get him up to speed.

Since when did letting him do cutting, among other things, so early after ACL surgery equate to wrapping him in bubble wrap?

He is doing a whole lot more than just about anyone else who has ever torn an ACL at this point in his recovery. Outside of AP, who else has torn an ACL in late Dec. or early Jan. and be on pace to start the season?

When did everyone on a forum learn more about ACL's than the guy who does the surgery and is considered one of the foremost experts on ACL recoveries?

Is that what I said? Because I'm pretty sure I said if he doesn't start after a few games into the regular season.

At that point I think we'd be playing afraid.

He's going to play wk 1, at least that's the plan barring a setback. Taking things slow is to help ensure he doesn't have that setback. Trust the process folks.

You are referring to the ones who say dont play him in preseason and 11 on 11's for the time being as chicken littles. None of us have said to sit him until 2015. Most of us have said the target is to be ready by the first game.

"To that end, Griffin feels he's ready to do more than he is allowed. During the portions of practice devoted to special teams, he goes to a separate field and runs through a scaled-down version of the plays he missed during the 11-on-11s. He said he did get a "little bump-up" in work during Monday morning's walkthrough, but he won't join the 11-on-11 drills in the main practice until next week at the earliest."

Reading is fundamental.

"I'm with you, although I don't expect him to do any pre-season.

I don't even think he'll play pre-season. I think people who are saying he's over exerting himself or endangering himself by doing say, one or two reps the 4th game of pre-season is being a little rash.

Obviously, I'm putting serious emphasis on saying the bubble wrap thing. That's called sarcasm.

I think the guy will do just fine and he's coming along nicely.

You know, from what I'm hearing from people both at Redskins TC and on Twitter (''the insiders'') I may want to change my roster prediction for CBs and WRs. I think theres a good chance--as of right now-- that Chase Minnifield makes the roster and Devery Henderson/Stallworth/Briscoe/Dawson does not make the roster for that ''6th WR spot''.

So it would be 6 CBs (Hall, Amerson, Wilson, Crawford, Biggers, Minnifield)

and 5 WRs (Garcon, Morgan, Moss, Hankerson, Robinson)

Well not serious emphasis.

Hm. Serious isn't the word I want. I'm not sure what phrase I want to use there, but Jesus, I was just saying.

I think we should hold onto Minnifield. I could see Briscoe not making the cut. Didn't he ride the bench all last season? Dawson could easily be a Niles Paul replacement although I feel like they wanna hang onto him for ST purposes.

Just hopefully not kickoff returns.
