I could not BELIEVE how big JT is in person. He's HUGE! ... he towers over everyone. Well, except a few of the O line.

Another thing I wanted to share was how great Moss looked. He's just amazing. Fast, fast, fast, and NEVER dropped a ball, not one!!! We are so lucky to have him as a Skin. Personal moment: My son said to Moss when he was signing his hat "You are and will always be my favorite WR".. Moss looked up at him, smiled and said "Thanks Man".. It warmed my heart...

Oh, and the two new WRs.. Mcullen and Kelly (I think) - also, HUGE, and very good hands. I loved watching them.

Campbell... all I can say there ... Well, I felt like I was watching last year all over again. I kept thinking "is the coaching tell him to do that???". It was the same short pass, short pass.. then over throw the long ball. It wasn't good..

Landry... he is such a bad ass. He nailed some dude and I really don't think they were supposed to be tackling, but he did!! It put a smile on my face.

Smoooot! Love this guy, but he sure is a little dude. My son said "Mom, I'm taller than him... and Moss" ... ha ha.. (my son is 14)

Springs - looks awesome. Fast and in shape!

Cooley, awesome as always... and much bigger up close than I thought he would be. Very big.

Whew... I need to go to bed or I'll just keep rambling. I've been so happy and excited I keep replaying it in my mind, I'm beat!

Hey Hess, what time did you get to camp, and how many people were already there waiting in line for the gates to open when you did? I'm trying to get to camp sometime before Monday and I plan on getting up early so I can either get one of those VIP passes for the lottery tix or I can get a prime spot next to the fence.

I was in line at the front gate by 7:10, before they opened and there were about 60 people deep (two lines). Then I went in, walked down the hill and parked my self at the end on the rail.. near the endzone on the left. If you look at the "Zshade" pic I posted you can see right where I was. Once you have your spot on the rail don't leave it, or kiss it goodbye. Oh, and take bug spray!!!!

That's not the kind of "HUGE" I was talking about... LOL

[DIRTEE]

LOL. I'll just stick to the Dancing with the Stars re-runs! All in all, looks like you had a great time. Bless you, that's what being a Redskin fan is all about. I'm glad the players take the time to meet and greet the fans. GO SKINS!!

Those pics are great, glad you and your son had a great time.

P.S. I hope things worked out well for him with the "call"

Thanks for the advice Hess. I will be sure to remember it when I try and go up there sometime in the next few days.

thanks for sharing, looks like you had a pretty good day overall. i'm kinda bummed i don't have leave till after the open practices are all done :/

last i heard i'm getting really good (free) pre-season tickets for the 28th though, which will definitely rock if it works out that way.

Thanx for the advice H. I'm there

Anyone ever been to fan apperciation day? Is it worth going? I am sure it is crazy crowded, but is it impossible to get any autographs? Is it easier? Just wondering if it is worth the 3 hour and 30 minute drive.
