Let's talk OTA's

http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/289362/redskins-$27m-de-hatcher-needs-knee-scoped

Redskins DE Jason Hatcher will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his knee Thursday and be out 4-6 weeks.

One of the free agency's worst contracts now looks even worse. Hatcher, who will turn 32 next month, signed a four-year, $27.5 million deal with the Redskins in March as he came off a career-high 11 sacks (he had 16 in the seven previous seasons combined). The scope is just a minor clean-out procedure, but any knee surgery is scary for a player on the wrong side of 30. If the Redskins are going to have any prayer of correcting last year's leaky defense, they desperately need Hatcher to be getting after the quarterback in Week 1 and performing at his 2013 level.

^That really sucks. I hope it's not a serious issue that never allows him to play up to his contract. After what Jay and Hatcher said about it, I didn't think it would be that serious, but now I wonder.

On a more positive note, in the link below is a video of Hall talking to the media. I love what he has to say about Amerson. I'm thinking we're gonna need some avatars of him sooner rather than later.

Already? :doh: Not too thrilled about that contract of his. Could have been had for much cheaper.

Better now than during the season. Plenty of time for him to be ready for camp.

Anyone know what's guaranteed on Hatcher's deal? My guess is they were looking at two years out of Hatcher.

Please let a young interior lineman man up. Jenkins and Baker and hopefully someone new. Golston shouldn't make it to training camp. I'm just wishful thinking out loud.

Key to the season here folks, KEY ... TO ... THE ... SEASON!!

Quarterback Colt McCoy hit receiver Cody Hoffman on a deep ball down the right side. Hoffman beat corner Blake Sailors on the play.

Blake Sailors ... the man to watch.

It'd be huge if Brandon Jenkins really were as improved as Baker says. He could be useful on special teams or giving breathers.

Or eating into playing time from Kerrigan or Orakpo.

If Jenkins is good enough to take actual playing time from Orakpo or Kerrigan, rather than just giving them breathers, we will have one heck of a pass rush.
