"I talked to Trent about playing swing, and I'll do it if I have to"

Donald Penn says he has talked to Trent in recent days.

That is a good sign

Was a Camp today for an hour and half:

Donald Penn didn't look rusty at all and he was handling Sweat and Kerrigan while I watched. Left guard is an issue. Flowers is a major issue.

Watching Tomsula coach is pretty awesome...I don't think there is anyone on staff who has more of a pulse on his unit. I saw him get on Brantley pretty good, work with Settle some.

I know I talk shit about them, but Reed and Davis are probably our best pass catchers. They look great running circles around our safeties and linebackers. Sprinkle made an awesome catch today over Monte.

I think our QB looked pretty fresh.

Area of concern: WR. Paul Richardson looks like a child out there...I don't know about him. Cam Sims looks like our best WR and is a monster. Doctson made a nice catch....something I noticed about Doctson, he is never talking and hanging with the other WRs on the sidelines. Looks out of place. Sims, Rich, Quick, Harmon, Quinn are out there talking, bullshitting, laughing....

The LG and WR stuff scare the hell out of me man, I just don't see PRich doing anything at all, hopefully Terry and Quinn can carry the unit

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread
 

Good to hear about Penn. At least it's a good start. Also we keep hearing about Sims. Put him w/the starters and see what he does.

Davis and Reed.. we all know what they are at this point. We can't run 2 te sets with both of them in the game cause everyone will know what we're doing. If both of them could block it would make our offense so much better. We'd be so much more unpredictable.

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread
 

Oh...AP looked like a monster on several runs. The RBs in general looked up to the task, getting to second level. AP had a killer run today tho, guy looks like a tank out there.

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread
 

I am worried that Brian Mitchell either is getting dementia or is coming to work intoxicated. This early afternoon around 11:00 he was broadcasting his show from Redskins camp on 980 AM, it seemed to be live and while my reception wasn't the greatest it sounded like he said Flowers and a D-lineman had got into a fight. He then went on to say fights between 1's are rare as usually it is guys on the border line of making the team that get frustrated and fight.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems B-Mitch is calling Flowers a starter and a cinch to not get cut. Hopefully it was the not so great radio reception while I was running errands to make me think he implied that. So if I heard things right, either the Redskins are screwed on the O-line, B-Mitch needs to go to rehab, or any Redskins QB needs to increase their life insurance policy.

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread
 

After seeing both Jordan Reed and Chris Thompson ball the f*ck out today....wrap these fools in bubble wrap and put them away for the season.

I am extremely eager to see if Gruden does the right thing and keeps these guys out of preseason games. I wouldn't play oft injured, Moses, Reed, CT, P Rich...keep them on the sidelines and just let them practice...a little until season begins.

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread
 

There's been two fights between the DL and OL in training camp so far. Gruden was pissed and made both run sprints.

If Trent really wants to be traded, I really worry about this OL. This group is going to have to be rebuilt without Trent. Moses is playing well.

-Did you get to see a bit of Wes Martin ? I still have hope he's our LG answer.

-Good to read about Sprinkle's catch because unless JR and VD, he can run block !

I looked but couldn’t distinguish him, but I could see the left guard position collapsed when they run to that side. But I did notice when the left guard would pull to the other side, he was getting out there just fine. Flowers sucked...he is easy to spot because he is a tall, broad shoulder in the middle of the line. I don’t see how this was ever a good idea, a complete waste of money. They should have paid a real guard to compete at the position. I didn’t think they could make a worse decision than bringing luavoa last year...they have IMO.

I'd rather have Scherff re-sign because he wants to be here. If it's true that Trent wants a trade, paying him more money just won't work.

As I've said before, the team is going to have to use the #1 and #2 draft picks to get OL players next year and beyond.

I actually kinda like it, show me some fire, show some pride... from what I read Jay Gruden made them sprint run after that, I like that too.

So I'm considering going to training camp next Monday and take the kids, my son who is 9 really wants Chris Thompson's autograph and I know this could be the last year he's with the team. It says they practice from 9:45 - 11:45...and then return for walkthrough at 4:40 for an hour? Is that worth seeing as well? Do they do anything at all on the field between noon and 4:40? Do the players sign autographs for the kids any? Thanks

6) Autographs

Those who choose to watch practice standing at the ropes will have the best chance of landing an autograph before and after practice. There are a lot of fans, so keep in mind you may not get exactly who you are hoping for on the first try. Being creative with what you ask the players and coaches to sign helps you get noticed, so use your imagination but do so tastefully.

After practice concludes, you also have a chance to get an autograph between the media tents and the training center building. Your odds are low of landing someone here, use this as a last ditch effort.

The best day to get autographs will be Fan Appreciation Day on Saturday, August 3rd at 1:00 p.m. All the players and coaches will roam the ropes set up around the offensive field.

This will be the busiest day of training camp, plan to be there early to make sure you are in the right position.


[B]I would suggest fan appreciation day for auto graph seeking, guarantee most players and coaches will be signing .[/B] Ive only seen the "practice portion" of camp, Ive never been around for walkthroughs portion. I would assume at the end of each session there are the auto graph opportunities, but its not like its scheduled.

Its worth coming up or down for camp...that area of Richmond is really solid with great food spots and about 8 breweries within a several miles of the field. Its easy to find and right off 95.

I'd say Chris Thompson is one player you have a legit shot at having an autograph of: when I came to FedEx last year with my Frenchie sign, the man took like a full minute at the end of warm ups to cross the end zone and come shake my hand and thank me for coming. He was awesomely nice !

I'd imagine if your son has some sort of Chris Thompson jersey/sign and he notices it he'll definitely take a second to sign an autograph.

Have a great time man, HTTR !

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread
 

Make a nice sign with Chris Thompson’s name on it. Something funny like “Chris Thompson for President” or something like that. Then have your son hold the sign when the players come to sign autographs. I did a sign like that ( for my daughter to hold) for Chris Coolie at a Redskins-Eagles game (in Philly) and got to talk to Chris and his wife before the game. Then I got murdered by the Eagles fans later.

What receivers make the final roster? These preseason games coming up are going to be huge for this unit.

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread
 

Trey Quinn - Gruden said he’s a lock for slot- great trng camp

Cam Sims - speed, size and desire - another great trng camp so far

Terry McLaurin - rookie Cinderella story, college teammate of Haskins- really good trng camp

Paul Richardson - the team paid big dollars to get him in FA, probably going to be like many of the past Redskins FA signings

Robert Davis (2nd yr) or Kevin Harmon (rookie) vs. Josh Doctson - I think this real competition will occur in pre-season games. Gruden has talked up Doctson in trng camp morning press meetings. I can’t figure out if he is serious or if he is hoping to trade Doctson for a 6th round draft pick before the season.

BL - I think there will be a real competition for the bottom slots at WR. I think the team wants to get bigger, younger and faster at WR. New blood is pushing Doctson from the bottom. A lot will depend on how these guys do in the pre-season games and if anyone gets hurt.

I honestly don’t think anyone is a lock at WR except Quinn and Richardson.

Not sure what they see or saw in Richardson to give him big money. He's too frail and will always have some kind of injury going on.

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread
 

I just watched the tweet videos from camp today. Good catches by Richardson, Cam Sims and Doctson. A lot will depend on the pre-season games because guys like Doctson always look good in camp but then don't transfer that to the game day.

Re: Redskins Training Camp Thread
 

I think the preseason games will reveal a lot about which receivers we'll keep and play. Quinn is a lock. The rest is up for the grabs. Yes, more than likely, it will also be Doctson and Richardson starting. I'm also concerned about Richardson staying healthy. Either way, there is talent here. Gruden just needs to figure out the best way to use it.

This is just for week 1 of Pre season. They had to put one out, it makes sense. Colt has been there for years with Jay now, he won't be the starter come Philly. Barring a insane preseason outing, I expect Case to be QB1 followed by Haskins and Colt.

No doubt, from what has been reported Case has been lights out in camp. Haskins has been solid and the same for Colt. I get the feeling Jay knows he needs the vet to start the season.

To be honest, he may be the 1 to start the season. Who else we got? Prich? Sims? The rookies will have to earn their way up the ladder with games this month. Quinn is #3.

Not sure how much time or effort needs to go into an unofficial depth chart before the first preseason game. The "starters" aren't likely to play longer than a series or two before it becomes a scrub fest.
