I'd expect Rex to look good at this point. He knows the offense and they're running mostly 7 on 7 stuff.

I really wouldn't be concerned at this point. RG3 is a rookie learning a new offense, and it's June.

I haven't heard any indication that he's been given more than he can handle at this point

this made me laugh:

Shanahan stopped practice for a full team meeting after consecutive false starts. One was by LT Trent Williams.

“You work all the way down field, everybody is tired,” Shanahan said. “That is where the concentration level has got to kick in. You know we weren’t very good in that [red-zone] area in offense last year, and we scored a touchdown on the first play, and we have a running back that steps offside. We talk about how that’s the difference between winning or losing during the game.”

So what happened on the first snap after the meeting? NT Barry Cofield jumped offsides.

We can't be sure ... RGIII may have been travelling under an alias like Ron Mexico!

I liked this:

Cornerback depth is a question entering training camp, which is why an undrafted rookie such as Chase Minnifield deserves our attention. I noticed two positive plays of his Thursday morning.

He stayed stride-for-stride with TE Niles Paul on a route to the right sideline, and the play went to the other side of the field.

Even more impressive: In goal line drills, he quickly latched on to WR Josh Morgan, who broke out of a stack. Morgan was not open crossing the back of the end zone, and the pass intended for him was overthrown. For a rookie such as Minnifield to know his assignment against a formation designed to confuse the secondary is an auspicious sign.

Me too. Great value in this guy. I hope he stays healthy. He's one of my personal favorite top 3 stories this offseason.

If Minnifield ends up being half as good as his father was then he'll be able to compete at a high level in the NFL.
