I mean I wished that I could have atleast seen him play in a preseason game, but its whatever.

lol ... it's just amazing who people latch on to.

Hernandez, the new and improved Lumsden. <sigh>

Who? The Kansas briscoe?

Hernandez was the longest of long shots. It is not a surprise that he is home early.

RGIII · 07-28-2012, 02:53 AM

Maybe he'll produce like Laurent Robinson did with DAL.

Still can't believe Dallas let him walk and they're going to count on a guy that hits his mom. Robinson was their best WR last year.

Bruce Allen obviously thinks something of him to claim him off waivers. Maybe he'll be a pleasant surprise.

Yeah, bruce I believe drafted him. And he probably asked Raheem if he was worth bringing on.

JoeRedskin · 07-28-2012, 10:55 AM

He was drafted by the Bengals not Allen.

As someone posted earlier, best case he does for us what Laurent Robinson did for Dallas last year, come in, play if/when someone gets hurt and makes the most of his opportunity. If not, then he's a camp body that plays with us until the end of August and we don't have to think about him again.

Gauging from the fact that 4 teams also put claims in for him, he's 22 and would be the youngest and biggest (and statistically one of the more accomplished over the past 16 games played) receivers on our roster, chances are he makes the final 53.

But why did he fail his physical with the Bucs? What type of injury is Dezmon Briscoe recuperating from?

Redskins claim WR Dezmon Briscoe - The Insider - The Washington Post

Quote:

Briscoe had been waived by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He led the Buccaneers with six touchdown catches last season but, according to reports, missed some of the team’s voluntary offseason workouts and failed the club’s conditioning test before training camp. According to the Tampa Bay Times, that test requires players to run 16 sprints of 110 yards apiece in a predetermined amount of time.

From an earlier post of mine

His departure from Tampa was more due to not showing up for all voluntary workouts this offseason, Schiano wanting to implement a new culture which means some surprise cuts.

Bucs had planning to move him long before he failed his conditioning test (and who knows what that means exactly).

NYCskinfan82 · 07-28-2012, 02:46 PM

There's a rumor going around, that Fat Al was Briscoe's trainner for the conditioning drill.

I'd be surprised if he makes a impact honestly but we'll see
