I've heard from others that have attended TC that Skye Dawson sounds like the next preseason star who will fight to make the roster.

As a returner? Does he return both punts and kos?

That doesn't bode well for a guy like Crawford, whom may be the odd man out with EJ, JW, DH, DA all locks for the most part. Leaving minnefield and Crawford battling for the last spot.

Just curious, but any reason why he would have been penciled in as the starting RT going into TC?

I don't know. It's what I had heard. They love him and believe the RT job is his to lose. But they seem to prefer to develop him at LT instead

Exactly. Crawford is a future starting CB on our team. All I read was how great of mini camp and trading camp RC was doing as a DB.

Maybe this is his year to become a legit #1. It would help RG a ton since they already have decided to key on garçon.

IF...big IF, but if Chase Minnefield plays every game and is 100% healthy, that could be a threat to Crawford's spot. But I think its a long shot.

The Skye receiver kid might have a shot to make the team if he plays well enough. Remember we need a back up slot WR.

Ah I didn't pay attention to the number until now. Although Davis and Williams shouldn't really be in the list, it was just marijuana (not big deal IMO). Still, the number is high.

As punt returner, yes but I don't think he played great as CB. He did make few plays and bad plays came with it as well. If Minnifield doesn't have any problem with his knee through out the training camp, Crawford is gone unless Shanny is willing to keep Crawford as special team specialist like Banks.

It's not a great thing, but I think a footnote should be added that 3 of the 6 PED players are no longer on the team and a 4th Tanard Jackson is highly questionable to return. Granted none of the 3 that are gone were critical starters but I don't see the Skins as having a culture that makes you think it's no big deal if you are caught. That is opposed to the Seahawks who still have 4 of their players on their team.

Also from the earlier PFT story(before we got these 2 and tied Seattle):

Two other teams, the Broncos and Giants, have had four suspensions each, while the Patriots, Redskins, Bengals, Texans and Rams are tied for fourth with three each.

With 50 total suspensions during that time frame, 22 teams have had at least one.

Only the Bills, Lions, Jaguars, Colts, Chiefs, Jets, Raiders, Cowboys, Eagles and 49ers have stayed off the board.

There's a good interactive graph in that article, and what it showed me, was the way to reduce the hits Griffin takes, is to not play the Bengals!

edit: and it was nice to see a Post article that isn't bashing the Skins. Very well written analysis piece.
