Slingin Sammy's Training Camp Notes-August 5th

Unfortunately I didn't see a great deal of the OL v DL one-on-ones (I was too focused on the QB/WR drills, by the time I focused over there they were over halfway done). I didn't see Clark's reps in those drills. He didn't make any glaring mistakes in 11-11s.

I did see a couple of Montgomery's reps and he did well. He worked in all the contact drills with the first unit and no problems.

Vinny is that you :D

Thanks for a thorough report Sammy!

Glad to hear that Blades is working only at MLB, I don't think he was cut out to play OLB. I hope Smoot steps up, I would hate to see him get cut or demoted way down.

I'm not surprised to hear about Brennan. He can be very accurate but also erratic at times. I only hope that his accuracy issues are part of his adjustment to his new form.

Speaking of PJ5...finally someone to spread his word!

Seriously though, has any one heard any word yet of how much the backup QBs will play next Thursday?

That must be one hospitable dude!

Immediate concern is Randy Thomas, the Skins writers can say what they want but I'm with Buges, I'm worried about Thomas he didn't do any work yesterday and that limp was no joke. Even if he's ready for late pre-season he'll have missed all of training camp and most of preseason practice. He won't be game ready come week 1. I think he's headed for IR. Barring miserable performances in pre-season Rinehart should start at RG. If Rinehart stinks it up, Bridges is more than capable. I think Heyer will be OK at RT, but depth at T becomes an issue if we have any injuries.

My biggest concern in the off-season was actually at C. I thought Rabach was done, but the revelation of how serious R. Thomas' injury was explains some of the problems on the interior of the line. I didn't see Rabach do anything yesterday, but all reports are he is doing well. His backup Will Montgomery looked solid so I think C will be fine. Samuels and Dock look good and I expect them to be a 2009 version of Jacoby/Grimm.

Makes the possibility of Kendall (see thread per RI today) coming back sound more likely.
