Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

Well I guess it's just the audio, but it starts at 1:45pm.

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

I'll try and pay attention and give an update...

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

Right now there is alot of talking in the background...guess they're starting about five minutes late.

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

Okay guys, start talking already! Maybe the coach is still in the bathroom! :-P

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

All I hear is them talking in the background...

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

yeah me too, i can barely hear them...

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

Okay it's starting, just saying that OTA's are doing good, Taylor still not present.

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

Nobody has been cut yet. Seems like nothing new in this meeting. Wonder why the press conference?

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

Does anyone get the bad feeling that someone is going to say something real stupid not knowing that they are being aired over the net?? I do!

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

Talking about Barrow being at mini-camp.

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

Talking about being within the rules for the OTA's. We have had no injuries with the OTA's.

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

Okay guys, this is a boring....I was hoping to hear if had cut anybody...obviously not. He is talking about Renaldo Wynn.

I think he is also talking about the OTA's being filmed.

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

I heard a rumor that the Skins may have violated some OTA rules and this was supposedly inadvertently caught on some of those daily video clips on Skins.com, is this what Gibbs is talking about?

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

I think so. What happens if you violate? Fines?

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

probably but they probable want care. they just want to be heard.

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

I read the artical we are ok with ota pratices it was some nut head that was saying the deffense and the offense were hitting. The d was holding blocking pads while the o was running blocking schems at abou 1/4 speed.

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

NFLPA just gets bored sometimes I guess.

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

I think these so called press conference are just the new way to keep the skins fan updated to what is going on and if any press shows up then ok. It looks like they are trying to feed us all the skins info first hand through the site so we make them our source of information. Then comes the next step that we will have to play to be the exclusive member to get all of the bells and whistles of the site. Thats just my opinion but with Danny Boy you know he has to be thinking about it.

Nail on the head!

And you know Danny Boys tricks will work on most of us, we'll end up paying up for the exclusive content, even if it's just exclusive fluff!

I don't pay for ESPN Insider and I WILL not pay for this... ;)

I just wait for someone here who has it to post it.

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

I'll cosign to that

I just wait for someone here who has it to post it.[/QUOTE]From what I have seen so far I would not pay for any exclusive rights. Now, if they had higher quality film work good player interviews etc..I might be willing to pay a few bucks a month. When they start preseason the filming access they are getting how is going to be very limited.

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

I doubt Skins.com would end up charging. They're well aware of all the unofficial Skins sites out there that are free. I don't think there is an official team site out there that charges, and after the charging for training camp mess in 2000, I doubt they would want to open that can of worms again.

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

Well, with exclusive videos that only redskins.com has to offer, I wouldn't put it past them.

2006, look out for 'Insider' 'VIP' or 'Exclusive' PPV type content on Redskins.com


Mr Snyder is always looking for a $$$$ or two.

Re: Joe Gibbs Press Conference Today
 

i won't be paying for anything of that magnitude because the rest of the league are not having their fans pay to be an exclusive member i mean how does that look.

Here's the scoop on our supposed NFLPA violations:

[url]http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2074436[/url]

ASHBURN, Va. -- The NFL wants to know if the Washington Redskins have been playing too rough in the offseason.

The league and the players' union said Thursday they are investigating the Redskins offseason practices. At issue are the team's one-on-one drills between offensive and defensive linemen, which the union says are forbidden, and whether those drills violate a prohibition against "live contact."

The players' union was first alerted of the possible infractions after the team posted video from the drills on the Internet. The practices are closed to reporters.

"Do you know how we caught them?" NFL Players Association executive director Gene Upshaw said. "We saw it on their Web site."

Coach Joe Gibbs said the team has turned over tapes of its practices to the league for review. If the team is found in violation, it could lose part of its allotted number of offseason practice days.

"We think we're doing what we need to be doing, trying to get everybody ready," Gibbs said. "And if it fits within the rules, we'll just have to see."

The practices -- called OTAs or "organized team activities" -- are essentially practices without pads. The collective bargaining agreement forbids "live contact drills between offensive and defensive linemen" during the practices.

Of course, "live contact" can be open to interpretation. Asked to describe the one-on-one drills, tackle Chris Samuels said: "We're locking up, just working our hand placement and technique, but we're not, like, finishing guys or driving guys to the ground."

NFLPA spokesman Carl Francis said the team shouldn't be doing one-on-one drills in the first place.

"The only thing that is allowed at OTAs is 7-on-7, 9-on-7 and 11-on-11," Francis said.

Gibbs said he thinks the Redskins are "well within the rules." He said his interpretation is that one-on-one drills are allowed for teaching pass rushing techniques and that the drills are not too physical.

"What they don't want is one-on-one physical stuff, competitive, where you wind up with players on the ground getting injured," Gibbs said.

Assistant coach Joe Bugel defended the drills by saying that their "physical contact bears no resemblance to that experienced in a regular-season practice or game."

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed that the league is looking into the matter. Neither Francis nor Aiello offered a timetable for a decision.

This is the second time since his return from retirement that Gibbs has drawn the attention of league officials for possible transgressions during practice. Last year, during the regular season, the coach tried to flaunt the rules by using an extra practice squad player until the league told him to stop.
