i really, really like seeing that he's out there working when we can't even contact him let alone have a practice to show up for.

random question popped into my mind; i wonder what number he'll wear.

Hankerson may be a sleeper. Let's keep our fingers crossed. He has difficulties getting separation, however.

Your not the first person to say that CrazyHorse but hopefully he'll be able to make that adjustment soon enough.

Last I heard he was riding a bunch of bull. I mean "attempting" to ride a bull. I like Ocho, but not as a Redskin. Just don't want players who call attention to themselves on a team that is establishing a team first identity.

anyone that thinks the Redskins might be interested in an idiot that makes terrible decisions & put his NFL career at risk by riding a bull is also an idiot :lol:

I think and hope that Hankerson is able to have both Moss and possibly one other free agent WR in here to help him out for his first year
Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance
Snyder's W/L record = 45% (80-96) - Snyder/Allen = 41% (59-84-1)

I was tweeting with good old Hanky and told him about Beck being in San Diego training as well. He's supposed to get with him this week since he's been working out here in Los Angeles. He was just here for the NFLPA flag football game here Friday night at UCLA. I told him that Beck has the playbook and even though he doesn't, I'm sure he can get a copy and get started b/c that'll give him a leg up going into camp. Sad thing is that he said he never thought of that. That was the first thing I thought of. What the hell is his agent doing?

Not sure that is the agent's job, but apparently someone needs (or needed, Good Job Frank!) to tell him. I suppose that this is yet another of the disadvantages of this lockout. The necessary hand holding of the players, particularly the younger ones, isn't happening.[/b]
I know he got a pretty good zip on the ball. He has a quick release. . . once I seen a coupla' throws, I was just like 'Yeah, he's that dude.'"

I thought that was Irn-Bru's joke, that we're not doing that

He was stuck at BWI until about 3AM this morning...and wasn't too happy about the car rental place being closed (@ 3AM ) :shock:

I'm not going to take credit for this but I heard the Beck interview on Sirius Radio last week (which was awesome by the way). so when LH was on twitter and said he was in Los Angeles, I told him to get down to SD and work out with Beck. He had no idea he was down there. So he said that he would track him down and get working b/c he really wants to start this year and get going. Pretty much, yeah, I hooked them up.

Most agents don't want their clients working out right now because of the lack of insurance coverage for players.

Yet most teams are holding some type of workouts.....


Once again, the players had to supply their own equipment. Linebacker Lorenzo Alexander handled much of the logistics, making sure everyone had a hotel room and a rental car. There was even a sponsor -- the real estate company run by defensive lineman Kedric Golston. One thing they still don't have is insurance in case of injury.



Said Redskins LB Lorenzo Alexander of avoiding injuries at workouts, “We want to be competitive, but don’t be stupid. Laying off balls, don’t pull on jerseys, protect each other, and I think we’re doing a good job of that.”

True, but if there was more support from agents you'd likely have less mediocre turnouts. I mean we had one non-rookie defensive lineman at the practice yesterday. Orakpo and Trent Williams are both represented by CAA, and neither was in attendance yesterday. I don't think that that's a coincidence. Sure, not all are going to listen to their agents, but I think it certainly has some impact on attendance at these sessions.

An agent's responsibility is to do the best for his client, not concern himself with what's best for an NFL team. And if you are an NFL player with a secure spot on a team, like Orakpo, Landry, etc., it really isn't in your best interest to be going to these workouts. There's a reason why most of the guys that are at this sessions, with a few exception, are players whose spot on the team is tenuous.

Jeremy Jarmon was there today, as was Rob Jackson

Trent Williams is in Houston working out with Adrian Peterson, Vince Young and other players so it's not about not working out, maybe they have other things going on.

I really don't see much benefit to the workouts, regardless of their standing on the roster, other than the players being together and those without the playbook can get "copies".

These work outs are more about guys getting together and getting back in the swing of it. Now these workouts are nothing like what a real practice or OTA would be like but they are something and that's better than nothing. I do like the fact the the Vet. leaders are out there and the rookies are getting work done. It's really only going to help them.
