he was a 6th round pick taken in the 3rd round. i was scratching my head when they made that pick and won't be too shocked if he doesn't pan out.
it sucks, but not every pick is a winner.
I also felt that he was drafted too high.
This year, he came into camp fat and out of shape. He has some talent but if he doesn't want an NFL career enough to push himself away from the table and get to work then someone else will take his job.
Adios. Next man up!

Reed could easily be a coach. He, Rex, Josh Wilson, and maybe Santana Moss are considered the most knowledgeable on the team in terms of being able to understand and explain plays/formations, etc.
As for LeRib, he and Gettis both have to step it up and differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack. I think the team will have a bit more patience with Josh though. I don't see him going anywhere
That said, this regime (outside Trent Williams) hasn't really done a good job with drafting OL and developing them...yet

As much grief as Ive given Reed, you gotta find spaces on teams for guys like that.
Im not gonna say told you so on McRib, but...

He played his ass off in our last game... one of his best games as a redskin by far... i too, have given him alotta shit in his time here but have a re-newed sense of respect for the guy.. he always gives it 100% and thats worth something.
The reports on LeRibeus are disappointing for sure, but it's still too early to give up on the guy. He needs to get serious and step it the hell up.

Can't seem to find if this was already posted but Hall got hurt...
DeAngelo Hall of Washington Redskins has sprained ligaments in ankle - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp13/story/_/id/9523063/deangelo-hall-washington-redskins-sprained-ligaments-ankle)
Hall says it won't jeopardize his playing status for the opener.
DeAngelo Hall says he’ll be out from ‘a couple days’ to ‘a couple weeks’ (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/wp/2013/07/30/deangelo-hall-says-hell-be-out-from-a-couple-days-to-a-couple-weeks/)

REED has been dogged a bunch on here (me included) but he gained major props last year by busting his ass every game. He's a true team guy

I'm not sure why people are so down on Reed. He's a limited player physically but always plays hard, gives everything he has and is the most sound tackler we have. I can respect a guy like that. He's never going to be Sean Taylor.

I think because so many times in the past we have seen opposing WRs catch bombs in the end zone and Reed is stumbling behind them.

to be fair, when poor scheme or poor execution leaves reed 1 on 1 w andre johnson for a jump ball . . . .andre is going to come down with it.
Reed seems to always be in the right spot at the right time but hes just an inch to short and a step to slow on some plays. physically he has no business being in the NFL but his iq and dedication keep him earning a paycheck.
i like reed, he reminds me of bowen.
