I suppose this explains Redskins' lack of activity for FS players during the off-season? I really hope Nicholson will step up this year.

Per multiple folks, they were hunting for FS prospects in the draft. Apparently there were several they really liked.


But this is great news for Monte...now can he stay healthy, which has been a big issue for him. He's gotta be the starter at this point.

He definitely should be the starter unless somebody comes in and wow's the coaches.

So as of now the secondary looks like it'll be; Nicholson/Collins at Safety. Norman/Dunbar at CB with Fabian at nickel? I like that.

Stroman also got a lot of valuable play time last year and would serve as a quality back-up.

If our Secondary can play UP to their potential CONSISTENTLY we very well may have a formidable defense this year.

I doubt it. The lack of activity by Nicholson on the field leaves me with no confidence in the position. He had 0 interceptions and 1 PD last season..... slightly more than a dead man.

He was terrible last year, and yet he showed he can play in his first year. My best guess is he thought he could get by with his talents alone, so I'm hoping he woke up and recognize the reality.. Also, being with Collins in same room should benefit him. Like Matty said, Nicholson just got a 2nd chance and this year is his chance to prove he belongs to NFL. We can move on from him easily if he bombs this year.

I agree with this post. I think he has the talent to succeed. It's up to him to put in the work to succeed in the NFL. It takes both to make it. I can't be bothered with players who don't get it. If he makes the team, good for him. If not, AMF...adios.

He was solid when he was healthy so we will see

[Schneed10]

He wasn't solid last year. They traded for Ha Ha because he wasn't solid.

This is a good ruling for him assuming the NFL won't still suspend him anyway. It lets him focus on football. But that doesn't mean he'll be good at it. He made a lot of mental mistakes last year and took poor angles. He'll need to be in the books and on the practice field to correct all of those things.

He got hurt too but I'm just hoping he is a quality starter

I think the nasty concussion he suffered on that Pierre Garçon hit got him scared. It felt like he was playing scared last year. I hope he can overcome that because he showed tremendous potential during his rookie season.

a good pass rush makes them all better. lets hope we have that

[sdskinsfan2001]

Give me rookie Montae.

Still want Boston though.

[Ruhskins]

As long as he doesn't do dumb shit like he did in the Saints game, I'm cool with him being the FS.

Hopefully Nicholson takes advantage of this opportunity. Skins could have easily moved on and nobody would have blamed them. He's got the chance to turn things around and earn a nice 2nd contract.
