Redskins Training Camp Thread wk 1

[CultBrennan59]

2 other notes from todays practice:

Kennan Robinson hurt his LEFT shoulder and tore his RIGHT Pec LAST Year. People had reported at first that it was his left pec/left shoulder/same side. Isn't.


And for all you Chase Minnifield fans, he reportedly has been looking very good in Training Camp, cutting, planting, running and turning on his Knee which he has had 2 ACL surgeries and a microfracture surgery on. He hasn't been wearing a knee brace and was step for step with Hankerson as some mentioned.

He'd have to go on the IR, but with a tag of "designated for return."



Even then, I'm not sure it will be allowed. I think the idea is for them to be on the IR at least 6 weeks, and with a possible return of mid season. 4-5 months pushes this to the end of the season. Personally, I just put him on IR and fill his slot. He's going to be out of football for 2 years basically, and definitely not in football shape. I think his time here is done.

NC depending on how this injury is and how long it will take for this third surgey to take you may be right. It is a shame as he really showed to be a good fit with the defense the couple of years we got him when he was healthy and I was fully expecting him to be a disruptive force last year heading into his third year with the team.

Yeah but I didn't think we had to pay the full amount if he's on IR? Or did I dream that up?

That's fantastic. I definitely have been pulling for that kid. He's my sleeper/fringe roster guy to watch.

Jason LaCanfora saying Keenan Robinson's injury may not be muy bueno

[12thMan]

‏@RapSheet #Redskins 2nd-year LB Keenan Robinson tore his pectoral muscle and is out for the season, source tells me. Brutal for former UT star.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Well that isn't good. Sounds like we need to add a MLB for the future. A guy who misses his first two seasons on IR is not going to have a hope or prayer to replace Fletch.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Who are the guys at MlB that are behind him? The Roster doesn't specify MLB.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Jeremy Kimbrough*|*Appalachian State,*ILB*:*2013 NFL Draft Scout Player Profile

I didn't realize we already had his clone on the roster. A UDFA MLB out of Appalacian State. 4.5 40 and undersized at 245 5'9.

We list him at 5'11 @ 249 lol

With Robinson's injury, ILB/MLB/JLB is the single most glaring hole on the roster. Safety isn't great either and, man, that's really a lot of space between the numbers for opposing offenses.

Both Fletch and Riley played all 16 games last year, but 59 worries me this year. I could see him get nicked up a bit. IE needing a couple of guys that can play at times this year.

Safety doesn't worry as much as it did a year ago.

Merriweather is back from what we see out on the practice field, and Rambo, doughty, and Thomas can play. We couldn't sign a top guy so we drafted a couple of physically gifted guys with great ball skills. Rambo can bring some hit power as well.

Thomas is playing SS now. Is this to get him more used to a role as SS if needed knowing that he knows that FS will be an easier switch?

Thomas played as a FS in college and has great ball skills.

I think I can say confidently that Kennan Robinson isn't the answer as the eventual fletcher replacement. 2 years in the league; torn right pec his first year; torn left pec his second year.

Well he has no more pecs to tear so we should expect big things from him...

It's a very 'that guy' thing to say.

Not to be confused with That Guy.
