***Bonus Post***. I wasn’t planning on going to the afternoon session, but I am becoming a junkie I think. Overall, the afternoon practices seem a lot more relaxed. They do not have pads on, and the energy and concentration level in this one was pretty low until the last 20 minutes, where they had some … Read more
Just back from Saturday morning’s kickoff to Fan Apreciation Day, and Redskin Park is an absolute zoo today. There are probably 10 times the people here today than have been at any other practice. their is a scrimmage today at 4:00pm, so the morning session was once again, a no-pads affair. After the warm-up, practice … Read more
I just want to say soething before I post the summary of this morning’s practice… I have had a little more time to folow the local news around here (all sources) and I have to tell you… I don’t know what training camp they’re watching, but it isn’t the Redskins. Nearly everything I reads is … Read more
It’s Friday afternoon and today may be the last real practice that I get to see with tomorrow being Fan Appreciation Day. There is a practice tomorrow morning at 9:00am too, but with festivities kicking off at 12:30, I’m not sure how hard they will practice. It was another hot, humid afternoon here in Ashburn. … Read more
It was a little overcast this morning, so I figured with only one practice today that we’d be treated to a good one. I was wrong. Today was definitely the dullest practice this week and we were sloppy to boot. There were even referees there today, so we hought we were going to be treated … Read more
Well it’s another beautiful afternoon in Ashburn, and that can mean only one thing… a no-pads practice. The first half hour of practice this afternoon was actually pretty dull. My new chum Brian (redskinfan on this board) and I were remarking that it was the first time that we had to walk around and try … Read more
A gorgeous morning here in Ashburn today, definitely a little cooler and less humid. The players came out in full gear, so I knew that we were in for a good practice. Obviously the fans loved the weather, as the AM session today was by far the most heavily attended practice yet. I wanted to … Read more
Traffic to Redskin Park was a little heavier today, probably because it’s such a beautiful day in Ashburn. I concentrated on the receivers this morning. When the squad split into offense and defense, the cornerbacks, the receivers and the quarterbacks all got together to run some routes at full speed. A lot of my observations … Read more
Tuesday afternoon and it’s a scorcher here in Ashburn. I arrived a little early figuring that the good weather would bring people out in droves. It proved sound judgement as this afternoon was far and away the most heavily attended practice. Unfortunately, the players all came out without their pads on which meant that we … Read more
First practice of training camp and my first observation is, it is HOT in Ashburn today. Overcast skies and muggy conditions made for a very sticky morning practice. The offense and the defense split up almost immediately and went to separate fields. I went to the defense field because it was less crowded and a … Read more
