Re: Fred Davis a No Show at Practice

Okay, I can see oversleeping and missing the first practice. My question is why didn't he wake up or someone find him in time for afternoon session?

There is a lot of time missing that no one is talking about.

I think they might have only gone for one session yesterday. Not positive about that, but I think there were only five minicamp practices (2 Fri, 2 Sat, 1 Sunday)

Re: Fred Davis a No Show at Practice

Just got this from Clayton's article on espn.com.

"5. No ZZZs with Zorn

New Redskins coach Jim Zorn had the most entertaining minicamp. Jason Campbell seems to be responding to Zorn's unique coaching methods. Clinton Portis, in his best shape as a Redskin, almost beat safety LeRon Landry in a match race. Landry ran a 4.35 40 coming out of college, but Portis wanted to challenge him. Then there was second-round pick Fred Davis. He couldn't sleep Saturday night because his roommate wouldn't shut up. So he went to the desk of the hotel and asked for a different room. He slept until 11 a.m., and the team couldn't find him because he wasn't in the right room. Zorn wants his players alert -- but Fred, tell the roommate to shut up and don't forget the wakeup call."

That's hilarious. Only the Redskins, right? Of all that happened this weekend (Harrison alleged in a shooting, Micheal Boley arrested for assault, Ced Benson with his BWI arrest) oversleeping is nothing. It'll cost him a few hundred thousand in his contract, but he will be fine.

Good to put that in perspective.

Nevemind. I just read about Boley on NFL.com. WTF is wrong with some of these guys? I remember seeing a real nice piece on Boley and his family on some show last season. Seemed like a real good guy.

So his roommate is either Fred Smoot or Justin Tryon
