Training Camp Updates:

Ok, so I didn't go to the Fan Appreciation day, but I was wondering how did Aldrige do, all of our rookies not named Orakpo, and Hackett do?

Crazy rumor over at ES that KBarnes (rookie) hyperextended his knee and will not play in the Ravens preseason game. Again rumor mill unless someone has more info.

Nobody wanted Betts or Cartwright, so yeah... I like Rock but he's a special teamer, not a running back.. Betts is a number 3 on a stacked team at best.. he's a number 2 for what we have available but that's about it

Maybe if he gets the ball more that will change but yeah


Betts is a # 3 at best on a stacked team? Was the '06 team stacked?

I am going to bow out of this conversation. I deal in reality.

As long as it isn't popped, I am ok with any rumor.

In '06 I think it was more of the fact that the offensive line was on fire. If you plug any decent back in there they would do the same. This was a year where the o-line deserved a lot of credit. Betts needs to learn how to be s hort yardage back. He is horrible around the goal line and Portis is far better at beast'n his way in the end zone.. Betts..NOT

that being said. we probably keep betts because of familiarity. but he is on the decline. I think we keep him but Rock is the odd man out..Dorsey, Mason or Aldridge will take his spot. But I heard Aldridge has fumblitis. Not good.

Ahhh, such a convincing argument!

They've basically stated Rock is the return man so I don't know.

I don't exactly know what happened, but I did hear that he and Bridges are unlikely to play mainly as precautionary measures after relatively minor injuries this past weekend.

A little update on Alridge and Dorsey:

Running backs Anthony Alridge and Dominique Dorsey are competing to make the Redskins' season-opening 53-man roster as special teams players, but coaches also are interested in having a change-of-pace speed back to complement top back Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts. Alridge and Dorsey have home-run potential, coaches said, but in order for either to earn a roster spot, he must hold on to the ball, and Alridge and Dorsey have had problems in that area during camp.

Alridge, who did not practice Sunday and was in the trainers' room receiving treatment for a sprained toe, has been particularly careless, fumbling several times during an afternoon practice last week. He also fumbled in Saturday's intrasquad scrimmage, which disappointed Zorn.
