Set it all aside -- Training Camp Begins

SmootSmack · 07-23-2014, 10:51 AM

Jason Hatcher and Stephen Bowen will start training camp on reserve PUP

skinsguy · 07-23-2014, 10:54 AM

Kidding aside, I want to see how improved the special teams will be this year. I think last year was probably the worst display of effort from special teams I have seen in all of my 30+ years of watching football. Also hoping Crawford is able to make it back to return punts again.

I'm also going to be watching Phillip Thomas closely. Let's see if he can stay healthy. Can't wait to see how Seastrunk is going to perform. I hope he is able to work his way into being that 3rd down back that we've been looking for.

And of course, how is RGIII going to fair this year.

Talk about what you want to see from whom? What you need to see from a specific player. What would be the biggest disappointment in training camp.

Yes, even do you have your yearly pet project chosen yet.

Whatever it is, whoever's performance you want to praise or trash. Just remember it's all about the time on the field now. No off-season garbage in this thread.

Last year at this time I did a poll and was roundly criticized by GTripp for not including 0-8 wins. He was prescient, this year, no such poll, but I still would not put in 0-5 wins, and I think this team has a chance to put it all together, and win the division by the 14th game. It helps that I don't think the other teams will be good.

But that's looking ahead, right now it's time to see how this team comes together.

HTTR!!!

I'm looking forward to seeing how the RB group shakes up. Hoping Chris Thompson is 100% and balling. We seen what he could do last year, and I don't think Seastrunk will be ready to take a significant role as a change-of-pace back. Hoping our RB group ends up with: Morris, Helu, Thompson, Seastrunk, and Young. I don't think Royster adds anything special, and Redd is PS material, IMO.

O-line battles will be interesting. Particularly Long vs. Chester for me.

Also interesting to see how many LBs they'll keep. I'm thinking Orakpo, Kerrigan, Murphy, and Jenkins(if he plays STs well) at OLB. As for ILB, I'm thinking they'll keep the top 5: Riley, Robinson, Sharpton, Jordan, and Hayward. Or maybe the young guy Compton will impress enough to push Jordan or Hayward off the roster.

My yearly pet project? LOL. Nope, not chosen yet.

Yeah, but I think he's going to start camp on active/PUP, so he might not be practicing for a while. Though according to Rotoworld, he was doing okay at the end of minicamp last month, so perhaps he'll be playing sooner than expected. Clearly, he'll be a pivotal part of our offense next year, so we'd better keep our fingers crossed.

Hey, in my defense, Hankerson is no Pat White.

It's that time of year when everything is possible ... the slate is clean and IMO this staff will not have an agenda and everyone will be given a chance to show they can contribute and be able to help the others around them be better

The Redskins were hurt by the salary cap 'fiasco' and especially by not having great depth - it will take time but this franchise is in much better shape than the 3-13 record would indicate

RG3 has a coach and an OC that I think will find a way to help him make the transition to being a better NFL QB than he was given by Kyle and Mike - I think they thought they were helping him but it was short sighted - we have some great weapons on offense and these guys will find a way to help RG3 utilize them

I look for a much more aggressive defense than the conservative defense Mike and Jim used last season

Surely the Special Teams cannot be worse than what we saw - Forbath has to get the ball much deeper on kickoffs or he's not here

Just a reminder, isn't it THIS preseason that the NFL is going to mess around with the extra point attempts? I've already forgotten what they had proposed.

I can't wait to see if anyone is going to step up and replace London Fletcher.

Let the man crushes begin!

Irrefutable · 07-23-2014, 12:13 PM

Bowen and Hatcher are on the PUP list

jbcjr14 · 07-23-2014, 12:38 PM

I want to see tenacity from the defense and special teams. So many games can be won from playing stellar special teams.

Back to football!!!!
