Same. Not showing much leadership from those guys whatsoever. It's ok, their pockets straight. *rolls eyes*

[quote=Mattyk;804447]I agree the workouts aren't all that helpful without coaches there, but I'm not sure it's just a PR move. I think players are genuinely eager to get back to work and these workouts are at least helping to get playbooks out to the rooks and getting them into the fold.[/quote]

Maybe...I am not really down on individual players...just their leadership. Many of them may have a genuine interest in getting back to work but that doesn't make these workouts productive. I do agree though that getting the playbooks to rookies is big...provided that they are able to understand it without having coaches install it in practice. I guess any bit of familiarity they gain from flipping through it has to help somewhat though...

[quote=SmootSmack;804200]Looks like we're done for the day. Unless they're meeting again this afternoon

D Smith spoke with the players afterward

Jarvis Jenkins among those not there today

Me: So Beck looked pretty good today?

Colleague at Practice: You know, honestly, he kind of reminds me of your guy Chase Daniel. He's smart, makes good decisions, and I trust him in the short to intermediate game. But I just don't know that his arm is strong enough to go deep or last in a game where he needs to throw 20+ passes.

Me: There's only one Chase Daniel!...what about Rex

Colleague: If you could trust him to handle himself under pressure, he'd be the best QB we've had here in the past decade

Me: Seems like quite an ask

Colleague: No doubt. But from a pure throwing perspective he's been awesome[/quote]

Thats the key, I think give Grossman decent protection and he won't have to handle himself (hopefully) under pressure. He would be our best option right now until the team decides on a franchise QB.

On a side note.... I miss Chase Daniels. lol. Can we trade Portis to the Saints for Daniels?

re: Redskins Players Gather for Another Workout (Day 3 Notes Start on Post #98)
 

I dont think its a PR stunt and actually do think its value added 2 ways: introduce the Skins rookies to systems and team chemistry. I think Beck and Hanky wouldnt be staying after practice if neither of the previous two things werent being met. Im proud of the guys, especially London. But to the key vets who are not there, Im kinda disappointed. Even though its not required, its the right thing to do if you can get there. This culture is changing and we need everyone aboard.

I hope he shows something this year, still could make that 2nd round passable. Plus, him, Hankerson, Moss, Armstrong if they all turn it up, we could actually have a legit receiving CORPS. That would be the first time in a long time.

I feel like Kyle from South Park.... "Your joking right?" "Tell me your joking."

I definitely don't want any Skins associated with VY. I don't want there to be any reason for any Skin to be lobbying for him or putting ideas in the coaching staffs head. Also hoping the idea is not already there.

re: Redskins Players Gather for Another Workout (Day 3 Notes Start on Post #98)
 

Not joking but I mean there are a lot of players working out together in Texas. Among them TW and VY. Doesn't mean anything

Orakpo said he'd be working out with Ware and Umenyiora, he's a gym rat so I'm not too worried about him just yet. Plus it allows some of the other OLB potentials to get some time in.

Landry, well, he's Landry.

Williams has been working out with former Oklahoma teammates, AP, etc for the past couple of months.

Final day of workouts

Close to 40 players there. Jeremy Jarmon not one of them (that's the only one I know of right now)

Cool video here

Re: Redskins Players Gather for Another Workout (Day 3 Notes Start on Post #98)
 

That is some great stuff Smoot. Like seeing some of that. I am not going to boast or brag about how great it is of the guys to do this for the rooks. BUT it is very nice to see as a fan. We will see if it means anything once they really start playing.

Re: Redskins Players Gather for Another Workout (Day 3 Notes Start on Post #98)
 

According to Chris Russell, John Beck took several rookies out to dinner last night

Pretty light workout today it seems

Re: Redskins Players Gather for Another Workout (Day 3 Notes Start on Post #98)
 

As opposed to Beck the artist? lol ;)

But seriously, Beck may be overdoing it. Kind of like the guy who is buying too many roses for the girl he wants to impress. A bit creepy?

Offseason MVP = London Fletcher. Coaching has to be in his future.

I don't mind Landry missing these, we know what he's doing...lifting.

Going to look like the Incredible Hulk soon!

For once this is a good off-season thing. It looks like we have the most players showing up so thats a great sign. I mean we have more players then Dallas, Phil, and the Giants combined. Not sure how that will translate into actual play on the field but it can only help.

Getting other players to play well is not the same as playing well yourself. Lots and LOTS of communication involved. Darrell Green would not be transferring his legs to the recipients of his coaching. He has to transfer knowledge and develop the skills of whomever he is coaching, which is much different animal from playing corner and being blessed with a ton of natural gifts. Whether Darrell Green is capable of being effective in such a role is not easy to tell.

Yeah, call me when you get a hernia. Pffft what a wuss. Both him and Landry. "Oh I broke my shoulder, wrist, and achilies." Whatever wuss.

In all seriousness I think he's going to be replaced by Gomes, I mean sure Gomes projects as a Strong Safety but he also played Corner so in my mind that has to count towards being a decent FS candidate.

If anyone is worried about him dropping balls, take a look at this. Obviously, it does not guarantee success, but it's great when athletes show transparency in their workouts.

Was thinking the same, nothing and I mean nothing beats the Slip n Slide that's the proof of a true NFL player.

Re: Redskins Players Gather for Another Workout (Day 3 Notes Start on Post #98)
 

Can't forget the Madden drill:

And the jump throw, across the body. Clearly a scenario which happens all the time in the NFL.

[quote=celts32;804440]I hold nothing against any player not attending...These "workouts" are a circus IMO. Nothing is being accomplished outside of maybe a little team bonding, but they can bond by going to the dinner or any other activity together also. These practices are a publicity stunt across the league to try and get the public on their side. The same way Roger Goodell's phone calls to season ticket holders are an attempt to gain public sentiment for the owners side.[/quote]
