Redskins OTAs

[mlmpetert]

The new indoor facility looks pretty neat, maybe a little small though. Probably came in handy yesterday as i think it was raining up there.

Moss and Cooley both look trim. I'd love to see them both have nice bounce back seasons.

If I heard right, they each lost 15 lbs. I believe

I would like to see them both clean out their lockers...

They were good Redskins in their day but we are going young and I would rather see RG3 spend his time building a rapport with the players that will be here for the long term.

Good idea. Let's get rid of good players so the 5th-7th round guys can get more reps.

Ok sarcasm. Yes it is a good idea as a matter of fact. Do Moss or Cooley project as starters at the moment? I could be wrong but i think Cooley makes about 6 mil and Moss maybe 3 or 4...So you want to have about 10 mil in salary invested in players that will probably be sitting on the bench? Those 5th-7th round players that you dismissed have not peaked and may actually improve with playing time plus they can play special teams and help the team in ways Moss and Cooley can not. If Cooley and Moss are not in the starting lineup then they are basically useless other then as insurance against injury. And if they are in the starting lineup then it's not at the expense of the players you are thinking of, rather it's at the expense of players like Hankerson, Garcon, Morgan, Paul, Davis who we are hoping are the future of the offense. So yes the way things stand right now if given the choice I would prefer they are not on the team.

Still need reliable vets to compliment "going young".

Starters or not, both should see significant playing time.

Moss maybe...but IMO that would be bad in a way because it means are young guys are not progressing. As for Cooley he has not been healthy since 2008. He used to be a good player but he's finished and Redskins fans don't want to accept it because he's such a fan favorite. He's slow and injury proned now. he has not had any yards after the catch in 3 years.

I honestly don't think Cooley is going to make the team. I think Moss fate will be determined by how the rest of the WR's look between now and the final cut in August.

Or maybe it just means Moss is still performing at a high level, if someone beats him out so be it, but regardless, whoever wins the spot will do so based on their ability, not their age.

Cooley was healthy in 2010 and had 77 catches in this offense. He's 29, not 39. Odds are he still has some productive years left.

I could see Moss having a good summer and cracking the lineup...I agree he still has some good football left in him. Disagree completely on Cooley...I think he is a shell of the player he used to be and we need to cut bait. And he was my favorite player on the team in his prime like he was for a lot of us...but I think it's over. The guy who used to catch a 7 yard pass and then drag defenders for another 5 yards is gone for good...

Where do you stand on Fletcher coming back?

Not against it but was not in the sign him at all costs camp either. London is a little different...he's team captain and we did not have anyone on the roster that we could even project into his role. the offense on the other hand is getting a complete makeover and these players were talking about are not in the long term plans. Obviously if one or both of these guys is so good this summer that they earn starting roles they will be back but I just don't see it happening and i sort of think it's time to move on to a new era with the offense.

Starters - Garcon and Hankerson, Moss in slot.
