Redskins June 2009 OTAs

Ruhskins · 06-01-2009, 09:49 PM

Redskins are back to work with OTAs. I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread to discuss them. A good recap on the first day from redskins.com:

Redskins Resume On-Field Work With OTAs

Some things to note...

- Some vets out for the first day (Landry, Portis, Fletch, and Sellers)
- Rogers and Barnes out sick
- Orakpo still practicing at SLB
- Malcolm Kelly participated fully on the first day
- Heyer expected to take over at RT, faces competition
- Williams back at 385 lbs.
- Samuels is back at his LT spot

i like the things that were said about m.kelly by zorn, sounds like he is on the way. i hope that d.thomas is able to do the same, and make this a bout for the 2nd receiver position.

I like hearing that Malcolm is out there running routes at full speed. I really don't like that we're messing around with switching Orkapo's natural position.

Monday, June 1: On The Field For The Return Of OTAs

Well they sure as hell had a beautiful day to start June OTA's. It was glorious today in the DC area. I'm not gonna lie, I took about and hour and half in the middle of the day today and played a quick 9 holes. It was great.

Where did you play at? I keep wnating to hit up Cross Creek, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Yeah I read that.. said he was down to 308 or something and that's the lowest he's been in years? He's usually around 315 right?

Just a quick 9 at Sligo Creek. It's normally a goat path, but I couldn't believe what good shape the course is in. I guess a month straight of nothing but rain will do that. It was really enjoyable. The old fella in the clubhouse said it was the best conditions he's seen in all his years working there. My friggin putter was killing me yesterday. I'd like to hit up Cross Creek, too. I think I played it once back when I was in high school, but I don't remember. I remember Hampshire Greens being a fun course, but I haven't played there in a while.

Well, everything (generally) appears to be going well for the team.. I just hope they would be able to continue this out through to the season..

Great article! This was the most positive Skins news i've seen in a long time. Hall is showing big intensity! Devin looks like a whole different guy! Just good stuff all around. I still worry a lot about the endurance along the o-line. My hope is we sign another solid guy but that looks unlikely at this point.

It is the official Redskins blog, keep that in mind.

I think Goat was talking about hearing positive news in general. Yes it is the Redskins blog and they are going to put a positive spin to everything, but it is good to know in general that Malcolm Kelly is practicing at full speed or that Samuels is back and healthy. Personally for once it is nice to discuss real news about OTAs, and not discussing speculations, theories, and/or other topics that have been discussed to death (i.e. QB).

Lol, it's like Malcolm Kelly broke his right leg today but thats ok because at least he didn't break his other leg.

haha good point but any non injury/holdout news is good news at this point. And also, it is better than if Zorn or one of the coaches said something to the effect of "we are still trying to get him caught up" or "oh...he was able to go out there and run around" about the wr's or the o'line.

the fact that all the news out of the OTAs is solid is a positive...
