A Diamond in the ruff
 

A good diamond is so hard to find. I talked to some reliable sources of mine who gave me some insight on Justin Hickman of UCLA, now Rookie DE for the skins. Apparently he's the Real Deal. It was told to me he is very smart, Fast, and a difference maker on the field. I hope he makes it to preseason. I want see what he got and if its true. It would be great to see him bolster our line.

Who if anyone do you think will be our diamond in training camp?

If you're not specifying what year they were taken in, I'm going to say Golston is going to surprise people this year. Not only do I think he'll be better than last year, I'm going to go so far as saying he will be a good to great player in the next year or two.

How do you know his parents? ;)

I hope it works out. We need some bodies on the Dline.

Re: A Diamond in the ruff
 

I think he is already banged up. Not promising when a guy with his college stats doesn't get drafted because of size issues and then gets banged up before training camo even starts.

Re: A Diamond in the ruff
 

I don't know his parents but he did play on the same team as a family member of mine who does still keep up with him currently.

I'm not worried about Golston, I think he's going to be a very solid player for us.

I want to see Montgomery step up, he's got the size and talent but from most accounts he just needs to sharpen up on his mental approach to the game.

I heard Byron W., the CB is a diamond in the rough. Heard he's been impressing the coaches

Re: A Diamond in the ruff
 

HIckman was one of those undrafted fa's that everyone (scouts et al) was surprised that he didn't get picked.

He's already got a knee injury but doesn't sound like something that will keep him out of camp. I remember the week after the draft when we signed him a no. of people here were pegging him as one to watch.
He's undersized, about 6'1, 250, as I recall, and there were doubts about his ability to play olb.
If he could make the roster as a pass rush specialist, whether stand up olb or de, that would be cool. i'm certainly rooting for him to make the team.

Chris Clemons?

Re: A Diamond in the ruff
 

I hope he is this year's Mark Anderson.

Re: A Diamond in the ruff
 

People who can be suprises is one of my favorite parts of the offseason, especially when training camp, scrimmages, and pre season games start. Last year Jesse Lumbsden was my favorite and the year before antonio brown. Too bad it didn't work out but i really thought both of them were going to be good for our offense.

Re: A Diamond in the ruff
 

Yeah, I was TOTALLY on the Antonio Brown bandwagon ESPECIALLY after reading training camp reports where people were saying he was looking like the best receiver on the field. MAN, what a disappointment! :mad:

exactly!
I thought CC had a bright future after the 04 season, but he got nicked up & things didn't work out.

Re: A Diamond in the ruff
 

I love how GW puts it. He needed accountability and availability. It was availability that was his problem...

yeah here are some things I said :(

"BY FAR the best player at the game was non other than ANTONIO BROWN. The first play was a practice special teams play and antonio destroyed. he took it back and was touched after about 30 yards, and they stopped the play after he was touched. during the game he got more receptions that anyone else BY FAR, now i know what gibbs and CO. is talking about. I can't wait to see him during the year."

"everyone here has heard about marino's "quick arm", he can throw the ball out. It was obvious that the ravens didn't give brown enough room. on a play when brunnel was QB i said that the were playing way to close to Brownt to a raven fan, the guy said, Brown, our defense isn't scared of a no name receiver, as the play was hiked brown took off. He was open and i just kept on saying "see what i mean see what i mean" to the ravens fan, Brown was money and some of the Redskins fans listening in yelled BROWN BROWN. Finally brunnel throws Brown the ball when he is so far into the endzone. it was rediculous, had he thrown it earlier and placed it ahead of him it would have been a TD......... but since it was brunnel he waited and waited side stepped then threw. He threw to short and there wasn't much room to throw it long B/c brown was at the back of the endzone. The ball being thrown so short allowed the DB to turn around and catch it for an endzone interception. I heard some fans yell that brunnel sucks and such.
it hurt. it was so like last year. i am an optimistic person but really i felt horrible about Ramsey and Brunnel. I was thinking that finaly ramsey will show the world. he didn't. the only great play I SAW, was the shotgun formation. It was awsome to see it work the way it did, but i think ramsey just threw an accurate pass which he awasn't doing before. "

"
but seriously guys lets hope for the best. Antonio Brown was truly amazing. for those who have not seen him play this off season trust me, what people are saying is true. I really couldn't believe it. Brown caught 3x's as many balls as moss and patten together, i think. he was so fast and made one amazing catch while suspended in air. he is great on special teams and can be a big player for us"
