Probably one of the best writers out there on the Redskins side of things; thus him change jobs is Redskins news.

If it warms your heart start a new thread about it.

I really like this move by ESPN. I guess he's going to be exclusively working on Skins pieces? I'm also a fan of Graziano, so I'm not sure how that's going to work out, but regardless I like Keim and Graziano, so hopefully this is good for both of them. How is this going to work in conjunction with ESPN(city)? We're not going to get our own ESPN-Washington, are we? Or does this mean every NFL team is going to get their own insider? And final question, does this mean we're going to have to pay to read Keim, like he's going to do a lot of Insider pieces for ESPN?

Looks good to me all around. Looking for Jenkins to come out swinging after his suspension. Dude needs to prove his draft position, contract, etc. etc. In the meantime we have some pretty interesting options at LDE and NT moving guys around.

On other news...may this be the season Rak achieves elite status

El-Bashir pretty much nails the Offensive roster imo.

Yeah, his is much better than Tandler's. I don't like that he left Thompson off in favor of Jamison, though. I think Jamison goes to the practice squad, while Thompson unseats Royster. I was also disappointed that Tandler left Briscoe off in favor of Henderson.


Is there any news on Marvin Burdette?

looking at the insider on wapo, there's no articles by reid there. and maske was supposed to be the NFL writer, not the skins writer, but i guess there's a ton of both on the site.

Basically. Hope so too. Not likely to happen anytime soon. Yes. Probably

Last line of the Griffin article:

“I don’t really worry about my leg anymore,” he said. “Consistently I forget my brace. Like I did on the first day and everybody made a big deal about that. I feel great.”

in a related note: yesterday morning on SiriusXM, the announcers were hyping the upcoming guest (an orthopedic doctor who has done work with the Rams), and was teasing it by saying that the doctor disagrees with how the Redskins were handling Griffin's return. But once he got on, he basically deferred to the attending physicians, but what I thought was interesting was that his timeline really was about where Griffin seems to be at. He said that his patients would begin cutting and heavy work at the 6 month mark, which would have been June, and at 9 months would basically be good to go, but that it would take another several months for the player to have confidence in his leg. Well, Griffin just has that confidence already, and if he doesn't take a snap in preseason, basically will have gone 8 1/2 to 9 months from surgery to game action. The whole interview just made me feel better about how the Skins and Griffin are approaching this.
