Redskins Players Gather for Another Workout (Day 3 Notes Start on Post #98)

[SmootSmack]

Average

[Longtimefan]

Everyone should look fantastic in these type workouts. Good to see the comradery though, the essence of it all.

Great info SS.

We better get used to Rex and Beck, they're our guys for the upcoming season.

[SmootSmack]

According to Grant Paulsen, Fred Davis is down to 245 lbs.

Also, heard Rex was much more of a loner on the sidelines. Beck was the "leader" of the offense, offering up encouragement/words of advice to the rookies

Everyone in attendance is getting a copy of the playbook, if they don't have it already

I think you meant Lorenzo Alexander is down to 245...it is on one of the articles....it also mentions that Alexander is toying with playing ILB....now if that is true....that sounds like a potential long term fit. I never really thought of that idea for him before. Imagine him playing next to London Fletcher, or as his backup....I can see that as his long term home.
He sure has played enough positions to be able to make some defensive calls. Frankly, I'm kinda looking forward to seeing him try out the ILB spot.
What do you guys think?

No I meant Fred Davis

And yes, Alexander has been playing some at ILB. I think that may have even started last season

Yeah, I recall in camp they moved him there in a few packages. I agree that it is more likely a long-term fit for him & its a position we're thin at, especially if Rocky leaves as expected.

Yeah his versatility has been a blessing, good to see Rocky out there practicing with us though.

Good grief, how FAT was Fred Davis before?

[Ruhskins]

From Twitter:

"Redskins draft picks who attended: Kerrigan, Hankerson, Helu, Gomes, Paul, Royster, White, Thompson, Hurt, and Neild."

[hooskins]

SS, so someone copied their 2010-11 playbook and is redistributing it?

[SmootSmack]

I don't really know. Could be that someone like who was able to get a copy of the latest playbook, which may or may not be the 2010-2011 playbook, before the lockout is making copies. Or several players are. No idea. All I heard was everyone in attendance will leave with a copy of the playbook if they don't have it already

[hooskins]

Cool. So the coaches must know about these workouts well in advance. What do you think about the notion that coaches are actually working with some of the team leaders to help setup/organize what will occur during the workouts? Heard them talking about it on the radio a few days back

[SmootSmack]

I hadn't heard that. Direct contact is not allowed of course, but I have to believe they are communicating somehow

I think Schefter said that when the lockout was temporarily lifted some teams contacted their players. I think the 49ers gave Alex Smith a playbook.
