Redskins Training Camp '16

Compton and Foster are just journeymen type of players. At some point over a 16 game season they are going to get exposed, especially trying to cover TE's and RB's. Daniels is kind of in the same mold as our starters. We badly need an athlete and a playmaker at ILB. Maybe Spaight turns into that guy. It will also be interesting to see where Cravens lines up.

You're saying it better than me! And I'm not saying Riley JR is THE guy, just that I would feel more comfortable with him healthy, more depth, more choice, more competition between the players etc...

In my eyes a healthy Riley is better then Compton. Riley doesn't have the best instincts but is physical player that gets downhill. Compton is faster, but gets caught in the wash gets blocked/stays blocked more then I want. I like Foster for his run defense.
If I'm choosing from the batch we had last playing last year I would go for:
(healthy) Riley + Foster

I really like Stephen Daniels kid and it wouldn't surprise me if he really makes a name for himself in training camp and in preseason. Physical, downhill thumper with good instincts.

I was a big fan of Spaight too, don't remember what his injury was but if he's 100% i'll be excited to see what he can do.

I don't want Su'a playing ILB, we're weak in run defense playing a S at ILB isn't gonna help.

You live in.....F..n Richmond and you're Not at camp?????
....damn


Too god damn hot to be at camp. :devil:

How are things going at Redskins camp? So far it seems to be rainbows and unicorn farts. It feels like the only news is coming from the discussion board.

Well I'll take unicorn farts all day...another one: Trent Murphy is looking good

Your right, so far I've heard breeland and desean Jackson have been out-fucking-standing. I'll say it again, desean jax is gonna have a big year as long as he can stay healthy.

From the article, Greg toler and Matt ioannidis also been shining, which is the first I've heard bout that.

I've reached my views limit on the Washington Post article so please correct me if I'm wrong.

I've read, and I believe it is in the WP article linked above that Riley is splitting reps with Foster rather than Compton.

I think Murphy is going to be better than expected. He isn't a fast twitch guy but has great reaction time.

With his hand in the dirt, he can get into the defender quicker and use his strength.

Murphy played with his hand in the dirt at Stanford. To me it's his more natural position.
Remember when we all pined for Rak to convert back to DE? Not even saying Murphy is going to be what I thought Rak could be at end, but I still think he's going to be our Justin Smith type guy.

And as far as Compton keeping the starters job, well there really isn't anyone who is going to take it from him. Riley was always going to replace Mason not Will. He has become the defenses QB, I could see him making a big leap in that role this year as well.
