I was at the OTA's today. It was pretty awesome. Kirk Cousins looks like a surgeon out there. He was just pin point accurate. Desean Jackson was unguardable. Everytime he was on the field he ran right past Josh Norman, for a deep ball. The one time Norman contested the ball, Desean wrestle it away from him diving in the end zone. Desean looked like he was hurt, but returned to action later. Richard Marshall was not out there. Looks like one of those guys that is never healthy. Robert Kelly on the other hand looked real good. Trent Williams was not there, Nseke filled in and appeared to really good. Arie kouandjio was starting at guard along with the other standard starters. Arie also looked good. The first team defense was getting tore up, Joe Barry was yelling and cursing like you would not believe. Couple of surprising things was that the Phillips kid was the starting nickel corner. I read this the other day, but looks like he has one the job for now. Kendal Fuller looked good, and intercepted Colt McCoy. Both Colt and especially Nate Sudfeld looked light years behind Kirk. Sudfeld looked absolutely terrible, Gruden yelled at him constantly. Saying at one time" Sudfeld can you get one yard. Just one yard." He did not complete a pass, in 11 on 11 drills.

The hardest thing to be happy about, one side burning the other. But it also sucks if no one wins. It's a conundrum. But its awesome DJ is looking good already. Norman won't ge any better practice than covering an explosive Jackson.

I love that Kirk looked great. We're due to have a great QB. Our offense should be awesome. We should be able to burn most defenses, even proven good ones. Our offense is our strong point as of now so I'm happy the 1s look good. Our defense shouldn't play many better offenses than ours. I'm genuinely pumped about this season. I'm going with an 11-5 prediction and us being an upper echelon team. Yep, I'm drinking all the kool aid. Httr!!!

And I'm jealous you got to be there.

Question, how do you start a new conversation? I want to create a sunshine pumper article for my fellow 2016 kool aid drinkers.

good stuff thanks! Heard they really like the Phillips kid too.

And stop talking truth about D Jax...dude is a flat out beast. Josh Norman is gonna bring a high level of competition with out receivers. Norman is known to practice hard and step it up against receivers...this is exactly the type of guy you want on your team. Mixing it up with DJax only motivates. You know the coaches love it.

If Fuller can stay healthy watch the f*ck out...

Just saw a picture of Trent Williams on:

Redskins | CSN Mid-Atlantic

He looks like he is in fantastic shape. Looks really lean compared to last year.

[MTK]

TW is #45 on the Top 100 list, Joe Thomas praised him as the best LT in the league.

DJax on missing out on the $500K bonus. What a selfish diva:

“You know, you hear the reports, people saying I forfeited the workout bonus,” he told Michael. “Don’t get it wrong; it’s definitely something I would have loved to do. But spending that time with my family and doing things on that side of the world definitely pays off.”

Jackson, a native of Los Angeles, has a seven month old son, DeSean Jr. The ninth-year veteran also acknowledged that he’s been spending time with an ailing grandmother.

“Really, I’ve just been spending a lot family time,” Jackson said. “My home is so far from here—east coast, west coast, so that flight is a little hectic.

“Just really being able to enjoy that and enjoy being a Dad. You don’t really get that time too much to spend during the season because our schedule is so crazy.”

Thanks for sharing. It's an OTA practice as we all know. Hard to get too excited about it. Wondering about Kouandjio and if he'll push for the starting line up.

Thanx for the info. Surprising because the DEFENSE usually has the up hand early in the OTA's. I'm worried that the defense will just not improve this much this season. Obviously adding Norman was a master bit of luck and seizing a great opportunity. But one player does not a defense make. I think the defense will improve into an average unit this year, but still think we are one season away from an elite defense unit.

Hail!

What if our offense is just that good? We're loaded on O and i think we'll put up a whole lotta points this season as long as Kirk stays healthy.

Preston Smith, Josh Norman continue strong spring for Redskins - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN

Great to hear all the positives so far in the camps...I like that

"The culture is what I want to build," he said. "If we win a championship, that would be awesome. But I want guys to understand the importance of being a team. It's not about the individuals. It's the sum of the parts. … We're not close to where we need to be yet, but it's going in the right direction. Definitely."

Make no mistake, the Redskins are better. But they are still a Josh Norman story. Rarely is a team gifted the unexpected opportunity to sign an All-Pro cornerback, especially one who was coming off a career season and a Super Bowl appearance. That said, Norman is only one point of light for a Redskins franchise that is suddenly looking remarkably intriguing heading into the offseason break. And McCloughan is at the center of that."


more redskins praise...exciting

[JoeRedskin]

This year will be a really good bell-weather. Can we compete with and beat good teams on a regular basis? In the past, it really required the good team to be having an off day or early in the season while the eventual "good" team was still getting its act together.

We have a rough schedule from week 1. The Steelers, Ravens and two division games (including our home game against Dallas) in the first five weeks - with a visit from RGIII thrown in for good measure.

Really like where we are going and how Scot McC has us moving. Here's hoping that we are watching a very solid foundation being built.
