Might as well add the rest of the info. Rex had a nice pass to Paul in the endzone for a TD. RG3 threw to 3 different Receivers to get down the field then on his last pass with 7 seconds left his pass to the endzone was tipped twice before being intercepted.

Grossman completed four consecutive passes to Brandon Banks and Paul, including a back-shoulder touchdown pass to Paul in the back of the end zone.
With a shortened clock, Griffin III completed four passes to Santana Moss, Pierre Garçon and Joshua Morgan. With seven seconds left on the clock, Griffin III threw a pass to the end zone that was twice tipped before being intercepted by DeAngelo Hall.

So far all I've heard is "team's not looking too sharp today overall"

I guess I need to go change my worst to first post.

Why isn't Hankerson going to participate until training camp starts? Still rehabbing his injury?

Preventative measure, hopefully?

I'm really looking forward to him turning into our number one receiver.......even with Garcon and Morgan here, I think if he can get some good vibes going between him and RG3, he could become our best offensive weapon before years end (other than Davis)

They're just easing Hankerson back in.

Leonard Hankerson has been rehabbing that hip injury of his. Mike Shanahan has said that he's fully healthy. They have given him limited reps during OTAs because he's coming back from that injury. It's safer to ease his load until training camp begins.

I am not liking the fact that I have heard very little praise of RG3 since the first OTA. I realy dont like that there are reports of Rex Grossman being the highlight todays OTA's. I even like the fact that the biggest praise of RG3 came from RG3, less.

I know he was out there today.

I don't think there's any need to panic. I also don't think having Rex play poorly is what we want. Not as Redskins fans

I have nitemares of Rex ever starting again. I did find an article that praises RG3 a little.

DeAngelo Hall gave RG3 mad props recently....

Shannahan went out of his way to praise Berstien's speed. Maybe someone to watch.

Yeah. I heard that he was very fast for a safety. Have you seen his highlights on Youtube? He has potential and has the abilities that LaRon Landry possessed. We'll see how Berstein develops.

He praised every saftey, but Doughty and Gomes. I wonder what that means

Are there any whispers Griffin is getting too much thrown at him scheme/playbook wise? Or is it widely accepted his rough edges are just a result of the adjustment time toward a pro offense?

I didn't really know where to post this, but I went to buy the NFL preview magazines today. Something that really caught my eye was in the Lindy's magazine they rank their top 10 players at each position with one category for 3-4 DE's. And coming in at the number 10 spot was Jarvis Jenkins. Injury and all that magazine really thinks he's one of the best in the league, AND better than Bowen or Carriker who didn't make the list. (Cofield came in at 8 for NTs)
