Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

In case it hasn't been posted, Gibbs is having a press conference at 2PM on redskins.com

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

I wonder what about, does anyone think that we signed R.W.??

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

Meh. I think Gibbs just likes to keep us updated now and then. It's a definite possibility, but I think we would have heard it leaked somewhere first.

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

I'm getting word that he's going to express his love for key lime pie and confirm reports leaked earlier this week by Nunyo Demasio that he did indeed break wind on Saturday afternoon

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

It's already started!!! 15 minutes early!

And what side does he dress on?!?! TELL ME, I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

Dammit! I got a service call RIGHT during the conference. Anything of interest said?

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

nah. so far, he's updated the status of lavar, barrow, tupa, taylor,etc. nothing new, they aren't participating in ota's, so nothing of interest. he said lavar is on track, and he should be ready by training camp.

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

Excellent to hear. What did he say in particular about Taylor?

There's an mp3(~40Mb) of it. It started early and I missed the first part.

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

Not so much new news, but I thought that this is the best--in terms of spirit--that Gibbs has sounded in a while. He reapeatedly talked about how good the particiaption and the attitude of the players is at the OTAs. He singled out Marcus Washington especially, saying that the guy actually came to the ROOKIE CAMP (!), even though he had no real reason to, just to get down with the players, he came back right away after his surgery, they couldn't keep him off the field, he got cleared for individual work, and Gibbs looked up and saw him in the team drills, etc. This guy is a leader. He's our only pro-bowler, and he's out there leading by example. That is what we need!

He talked a bit more about Taylor--they're of course disapointed that he's not there, but they don't want that to be the focus. Instead focus on the fact that something like 99% of the guys are there at VOLUNTARY work outs. As for Sean, he reiterated that he doesn't think it's really a contract thing, and he'll be real surprised if Sean isn't there for the Minicamp. Also, he stressed that Sean is a great football player, including a great practice guy, and that they have absolutely no desire or thought of trading him (that was in response to a "fishing" question by a reporter).

Also, Gibbs noted that since the coaches already know lots of the players, it's easier to know how to use them this time. He talked about finding out that Ladell Betts was a quality every-down runner and good specials guy (he thought he was more of a 3rd down guy before). THis is the kind of thing that comes with continuity. We really haven't had this. THink about having to re-learn all that stuff EVERY offseason--how good can you possibly be (think about Lavar and the number of coordinators...)?

Anyway, I was psyched that the coach was in good spirits, and that he's feeling positive about the skins. I trust in Gibbs, so if he's happy, I'm happy.

Finally, in typical Gibbs fashion, he noted that we've still gotta translate this vibe into WINS for it to mean anything. Amen to that.

[QUOTE=TheMalcolmConnection]Excellent to hear. What did he say in particular about Taylor?[/QUOTE]

He said "he's an ignorant sonovabitch and I'm gonna kick his ass when he finally shows up"

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

Wow! Washington is definitely a core Redskin. Showing up at the rookie camp is above and beyond.

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

Redskins.com now has that we cut Hall....not john hall, but the new DB from Atlanta.

Looks like RW is coming!

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

There must be something seriously wrong with Hall. Cut twice by the Falcons, described as have a less than impressive workout for the Cowboys and now gone after 2 days.

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

Not necessarily. Hall apparently decided to retire from football after trying the OTAs. I read that he was going to retire but his agent kinda talked him into giving it a shot. He has some college coaching gig lined up.

Weird. Oh well..easy come, easy go! That's gotta be one of the shortest tenures on the skins ever! Guess those OTAs are grueling!

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

I'm sorry but that's kind of funny in a sad way. Big news is he comes in and then he's gone? LOL

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

Even though I often defend players who are acting selfishly, I want to thump Taylor over the head with a bat. He's such am a-hole. If only he could be a nice guy off the field and an a-hole on the field.

As to Washington, the guy is an absolute stud, leader, playmaker.

The only thing shorter was Hall's name in the headlines...skins.com already switched it to talk about the workout with McQuarters :rofl:

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

I got this off of ESPN.com. I'm assuming the quotes were lifted from the press conference:


The Redskins wrapped up a second week of voluntary offseason practices leading up to next month's mini-camp. Safety Sean Taylor remains the only unexcused absence, and Gibbs expressed disappointment that Taylor's plight has overshadowed the diligent work of the rest of the roster.

"This is probably one of the best-attended offseasons. He probably doesn't fit into that group right now," Gibbs said. "It's a disappointment. We've got a bunch of guys here working themselves silly and we've got somebody missing. That's not good. That doesn't fit in with what we want."

Gibbs still has not heard from Taylor and is not certain whether he will attend the June 17-19 mini-camp.

"I certainly don't consider him a lost cause," Gibbs said. "He's a dynamic player; he's a great player. But this has been a big disappointment for us."


You all already know my thoughts. I'll leave you to yours.

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

alright guys heres a quick update on nfl total access. it's about 7:40 eastern time now, total access is on a commercial, but coming up after that they are gonna have the feature with jason campbell and carlos rogers. if you want to see it turn to nfl network now. it will also be coming on at 10:40 eastern time later tonight because it's a repeat.

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

Promise?! Cause we all know what happened LAST time. :)

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

i wish i had that channel.

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

yeah i promise. i just watched it. it was cool. if you want to see it again put it on nfl network at 14:40 p.m. it should be on right about then, but if it's a commercial wait a minute. it was really neat.

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

14:40 pm ?? come on now , were not in the military. you can just say 2:40:)

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

Gibbs had a press conference to basically say.........great OTA guys??????????
curious very curious............or was this an elaborate way to send a message to Sean Taylor.............get your butt in here.............

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

oh snap i said 14:40. no no no you guys i meant 10:40. total access comes on at ten, but since the interview came on today at 7:40, it should be on at the same time again.

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

anything interesting on campbell/rodgers for those of us with cox?

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

[QUOTE=That Guy]anything interesting on campbell/rodgers for those of us with cox?[/QUOTE]

No, check out my thread about it....it was boring as hell. Rogers is funny and has a Southern drawl as thick as JLo's ass.

[QUOTE=Ramseyfan]as thick as JLo's ass.[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure that "thick" really captures what JLo's ass is all about... :D

Re: Gibbs Press Conference @ 2PM EST
 

Someone mentioned ba-donk-a-donk in another thread.

THAT captures JLo's ass. But nowhere NEAR as hot as Vida Guerra's.

They just call it a press conference but I think its how they want to comunicate to the fans through the new site forum and if any press wants to attend they can.

I appreciate the efforts to communicate to the fans (especially with the feud with the Post), but it seems they're wasting Joe's time, especially when the press conference content doesn't really have any breaking news....but its nice to be kept informed.......
