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

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-26-2005, 01:41 PM

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.

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

cpayne5 · 05-26-2005, 01:47 PM

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

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-26-2005, 02:32 PM

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

mooby · 05-26-2005, 02:39 PM

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.

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-26-2005, 02:45 PM

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.

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.

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

TheMalcolmConnection · 05-26-2005, 03:18 PM

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