To me that is a big complement, hope you are right. Fitz is one of those guys that treats every ball in the air like it is his and will stop at nothing to get it.

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread

Case will be the starter week 1, just go ahead and face that folks. Dwayne basically said it in his presser yesterday that "I'll start sooner or later"

That tells me that he isn't in the QB1 plans right now, maybe I'm just assuming but still

If healthy I think Colt will be the starter week 1. Regardless, all 3 are very likely to play at some point this year.

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread

This is a really high stakes decision for Gruden. He's got a defense that looks strong and he should be able to run the ball pretty effectively - even with Trent out, Penn is still a decent run blocker, and the rest of the line is back in place.

And of course not a lot of weapons. So you realize that for the Redskins winning will look like slugfests, grinding out defensive battles with small margins for error, winning close games 23-20.

Alex was moderately successful in that model last year because he avoided turnovers. He always has. But Colt has always been turnover prone. So that temptation to start the guy who knows his offense best could lead to a couple crucial turnovers that change a game from a 23-20 win to a 26-23 loss.

Gruden needs to get Keenum ready to play for that reason. Colt is going to turn it over too much and Gruden will look like a really poor coach for making that choice. And if he can't get Keenum ready, that will also reflect poorly on him. Hopefully O'Connell will show why he's getting hyped lately.

Well, Keenum is pretty turnover prone too . . . and probably will be more so learning a new offense.

I feel sorry for Gruden, but if he thinks that either Colt OR Case is going to take this team to the playoffs, then he really is delusional. We have an excellent defense. We have an excellent running game IF, the OL can make some holes. I'm not convinced the OL without TW is that good. If the OL is in trouble, then we have no run game and our QB, who both are turnover monsters, will be even more prone to do so.

Part of the reason all the QB in training camp are having troubles is because of the OL. Not the reason for everything, but the pass rush is a factor with this OL.

So she is cute...but dime piece? Don’t know. Gonna have to disagree with your post. Would probably hit and quit tho

Probably make her Uber home immediately, she wouldn’t be a sleepover. But I’d let her Uber back to take care of morning wood.

I would drink her bath water.. A few years ago she was doing the draft and had a dress on that really showed her coca cola body that she's always hiding. That to me makes her more desirable. That fact that she's sneaky hot and hides her figure. ...lol.

I had to do further research while not on the work computer. I can now confirm she is a dime. Her tiggles are intriguing

Ignore previous post

Some of us old guys have trouble keeping up with modern slang. I thought a dime was an assist in basketball. I will venture a guess it is what we called a ten back in the day, as ten on the 1-10 scale.
