They will work more on specialized situations&#8230;. goal-line&#8230; 20-yard line in&#8230; 2 minute drill etc&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><i>On the value of these workouts&#8230;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Have to be in great shape&#8230; all teams getting in hard, crisp work&#8230; so that they can come back ready to go at training camp because the Redskins will only get 5 days of practice in before the scrimmage with the Ravens&#8230; Gibbs feels that they had a great offseason&#8230; the team is in very good shape&#8230; and his reasons for saying so&#8230; limited injuries (Cooley)&#8230; probably the best attended offseason Gibbs has been a part of.<\/p>\n<p>The Redskins have decided not to go with two a days at mini-camp because of the way they&#8217;ve worked hard&#8230; stay with one-a-days&#8230; keep the work hard and short.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs said that he wanted mini-camp late so that the drop off before training camp was short. Some teams do it early but Joe feels it&#8217;s better for the young guys especially to do it later.<\/p>\n<p><i>On quarterbacks so far&#8230;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Feel good about QB&#8217;s&#8230; like the depth&#8230; Patrick has had a good offseason&#8230; he looks &#8216;confident and relaxed&#8217; and he&#8217;s had a good command of things. Mark&#8217;s done extremely well&#8230; terrific leader&#8230; situation for Jason Campbell where it&#8217;s a lot of stuff because of the amount being thrown at him&#8230; but he shows definite flashes and that&#8217;s what you are looking for.<\/p>\n<p><i>On running backs&#8230;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Gibbs spoke at great length on Ladell and about how impressed he has been with him. Said that basically Betts&#8217; performance had vaulted Gibbs&#8217; impression of him as a third down back, to a guy that can compliment Clinton Portis and get a lot more carries. Gibbs also said that he had a chance to sit down to talk to Ladell not long ago and in a very complimentary fashion remarked that they hadn&#8217;t really done so before because of Betts&#8217; low-maintenance workman-like performance for the team.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs also said that Rock Cartwright has done well.<\/p>\n<p>Feel like Clinton can do whatever. Carry the ball with any style of play&#8230;. Changed a bit in the offense too but expected Portis to do very well in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs said he had no complaints about Clinton whatsoever&#8230; his average was better in Denver&#8230; and that the Redskins want to get him up &#8216;in there&#8217; more. Joe said that they were disappointed he didn&#8217;t get 1500 yards&#8230; but not in Clinton Portis. Gibbs added that he admires the way Portis plays without the ball.<\/p>\n<p><i>On the rookies&#8230;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Jared Newberry is the only one signed. Said that Carlos Rogers making good progress in practice&#8230; said he was smart. Jason Campbell is smart too&#8230; Gibbs also said that Campbell can really run as well.<\/p>\n<p>These are just quick summaries of all that was said.
