Redskins Training Camp Thread 3.0

I hope kickoffs is either Dawson or Thompson. I really dont like Paul back there at all.

I'm hoping it's Dawson. But I don't want him to be on the roster if the only way he's going to contribute is returning kicks. He needs to add something to the passing game too. If he can't, then I'll be happy with Niles Paul back there; he was solid after he took over.

I would Rather Dawson. No one fears Paul back there.

With KO's being moved up 5 yards and the NFL seeming like they would rather do without them, we need whoever it is to be able to play on offense. No more of the days of a KO return specialist. Thats becoming a waste of a roster spot.

agreed. Plus I think our offense should be potent enough that a simply solid returner will give us consistent starting field position, and if we need happen to need a spark you put Crawford, Hall, or Moss back there.

As long as the returner can consistently get around 20-25 yards a return and doesn't fumble it away, I'll be satisfied. I would rather have a solid, consistent returner than a guy who averages over 30 yards a return, but you can't trust to hang on to the ball. Also, I'm not worried about the position at all; at the very least we'll have Niles Paul again, who had a decent 21.8 average.

Interesting that they already locked him in. It makes sense being that he is our best back behind Morris.

Why was Morris held out of game 1? Trying to give Helu more reps since he missed last year possibly?

What kind of camp did Morris have? I really did not hear much about AM this year. I would have figured him to be a guy to watch and write about. Is he looking solid and better than last year?

My prediction for the preseason from here is lance Lewis becomes the next Marco Mitchell. I am actually rooting for the guy my Brother in law played football with him and is from his area.

I find it pretty odd that a star athlete would get stage fright in front of his teammates???

Some guys are like that. Isn't the fear of public speaking like one of the number one phobias? As long as he isn't jittery on the field I'm good with it!
