You point to Seattle's relatively young defense, but Richard Sherman and the rest of those guys communicate constantly, unlike our defense. Clark will be an absolute asset this year. Better than any safety we have, an excellent communicator on defense, and an excellent mentor for the young guys.

Well that statement means they don't need their hand held. Robinson is in his 3rd year. He knows the defense. If he doesn't know it by now then he shouldn't be on the team. Yeah he may not have the knowledge of Fletcher but he can learn it and he's a far better athlete. It's ok to have your players learning and playing together.

I agree

apparently D Hall is playing some FS, however I doubt they are strong enough at CB to move Hall.................. it sounds like Rambo isn't the answer either

I like this move a lot. We need a ballhawk back there. Maybe Breeland can step in there at corner.

N-o-o-o-o-o! Not another rookie corner. I think that DHall could do a good job at FS but if we move him to safety, I think we'll need to trade for a veteran CB. If I were the Redskins GM, I'd even overpay, if necessary, to get another solid vet at CB.

FS - DHall
SS - Phillip Thomas
CB - Solid Vet via Trade
CB - David Amerson

I think I'd feel pretty good about that group.

Fan, how does one become a solid vet? If you were the GM, you'd never trust the draft picks that you selected or the vets that you brought in? No way you find a diamond in the rough unless you let them play. Stop with all of the trade for vets BS. Trust the vets that you traded for and the players on the roster!

I'm with you. When you're facing Marshall/Jeffery or some receiving combo like that, you want DHall or an unobtained proven vet at CB for sure, along with Amerson. Tracy Porter is nice as a nickel back but is not who you want all game on someone like Dez Bryant.

Sounds like Jarvis Jenkins has had a great camp so far. If Hatcher and Bowen get healthy, I think we could have a nasty D-line.

Also, one of our insiders(likely Tandler or Keim) mentioned a few days ago how much better Orakpo and Kerrigan have looked in one-on-one match-ups this year as opposed to previous years. The Coach Baker influence was cited as the reason. I think his individual coaching is really helping, and having our OLBs rush more for pressure instead of contain should help a lot as well. All in all, starting to get excited about our pass rush.

Baker was beasting during drills today and some of the rookies looked solid like Grant and Hoffman. Moss also made a couple nice grabs and it was good seeing Garçon running at full speed. DJax didn't play, not sure why, but he was playing up to the crowd a couple times. Overall with the lottery it was a lot less chaotic today and with the overcast weather it stayed nice and cool all day for a perfect day of training camp.

with all the talk of the receiving corp and RGIII, thought I would throw in a video for a little Alfmo love:

Give him a few more years of the type of production he's had so far and he will join the pantheon of great Redskins RB's.

In his press conference, I believe Gruden said that they were just letting other players cycle through CB so they could go against the ones. I don't think you are going to see Hall at FS this year in the normal rotations.

This is like the 3rd summer in a row that Hall has seen some snaps at FS

Crap....I hate playing games with the place kicker position.
Fleabath better get his poop in a group.

We waived our Rice.

Redskins waive injured WR Jerry Rice Jr.

First depth chart is out...and I guess we are not going with a RG this year.
