Oh yeah sure, during the brief lift. Absolutely. Maybe I misunderstood Hooskins' question

[SmootSmack]

According to CSN Washington, Orakpo and Landry were not there either

So Rogers, McNabb, Haynesworth, Doughty, Orakpo, Landry, Jenkins not there (among others)

[hooskins]

SS, you understood it correctly. Thanks.

Hooskins: i remember seeing this a couple weeks ago, maybe you saw it too?

Report: Assistant coaches, players in regular contact during lockout | ProFootballTalk

I also think that players and coaches are in contact on a regular basis. Im sure theres a few tempory gmail accounts and pre paids out there.

I wonder if some of the UDFA's are flying around to some of these camps in an attempt to possibly get a player to vouch for them after the lockout is lifted.

[hooskins]

mlmpert, that's exactly what I was referring to. Now I recall it. The Sports Junkies had PFT's Mike Florio on and he was talking about that. You can take his reporting with a grain of salt, of course, but I thought it was interesting. Florio also mentioned agents are talking with teams too. He felt the NFL knows it, but doesn't want to punish anyone if they are doing it behind closed doors.

Wondering if this workout was organized with a bit of "help".

It is great to hear Beck is taking the Bull by the Horns. I hope he can back it up with great play.

Players around the league aren't disclosing locations for obvious reasons. I know a lot of the footage has see police escorts around the fields. Down here in Atlanta I was curious to see if the Falcons were practicing at one of our nearby high schools as my area has the nicest fields in the state, plus I'm not to far from Flowery Branch which is basically Ashburn for the Falcons

However I was unable to find any reference online to the actual high school the Falcons were practicing at. Pretty sure if I asked around someone would have recognized the location, but my interest only went so far as to find the name of the school. Anyway, I doubt the Skins did anything different.

Kind of elaborates on some stuff I had mentioned earlier about Beck being more of a leader and Rex more of a loner off the field of play

Gotta say I like Beck's hands on approach. That's what you want from your QB.

Veterans put Redskins rookies to work

Agree on Beck, Matty. That's smart what he's doing

You're coming around

[MTK]

Of course he needs to be able to play well too, but he seems to have the leadership angle down. That's a good thing.

Nice to read that we have more players showing up for these workouts then other teams. God knows we need the work.
