The last week of OTAs started today.... June 4-7

Minicamp will be from June 11 to June 14

thanks - for the record - what's the difference between OTAs & Minicamp?

thankfully it's June already

I wish he would sell the team. I can't express that enough. But, I'm not sure your facts are totally straight. In particular with Manning.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ear ... _blog.html

In terms of him doing what the customers want -- I wish that were true. For over a decade he has traded away picks for aging vets for huge contracts. I think that Snyder does what he wants while grossly lacking the football mind to do it -- and that is why we are in this mess.

As far as this offseason being similar to last years -- I don't agree. RGIII was drafted. Sure they traded picks away, but at least it was for picks and not aging vets as in the past. I can understand the similarity in that he traded away picks for something, but this is a very unique situation in that RGIII may very well be a franchise QB. Would you trade away 2 firsts and a second for a 23 year old Tom Brady???? I think everyone would -- and the skins are willing to trade it for the chance at that. It's a risk, but so is almost every pick in the draft. Do I think that they spent too much -- right now I do BUT if he works out as planned, it will be the steal of the draft.

As far as the whole next exciting thing -- that is WAY off. If he were to do that he wouldn't have drafted a rookie, a rookie that needs to be trained and will take time to develop. He would have gone out and gotten big name vet and not a rookie. Say what you want, but I honestly don't think our FO is being run by Snyder right now. I believe trade was completed by Allen and MS.

I consider myself a fairly big pessimist compared to most on this board, but you are at a whole different level. You're just a troll.

You don't get it. She doesn't care. She doesn't care if you are an optimist. She doesn't care if you are a pessimist. She doesn't care about anything except getting a rise... from YOU... or anyone else. DFTT

I have to give you some credit Countertrey...that was brillant !!!! I almost peed my pants when I seen the horse dung for a quote. I needed a good laugh for the day...thanks man.

Hightower is taking some handoffs and running and doing some cutting. He probably couldn't suit up today but he is looking pretty spry.

Hankerson running some patterns. Not quite in sync with RG3 on a few throws.

RG3 is occasionally double clutching, like he isn’t quite sure of what he’s seeing from the defense.

Hankerson was a spectator during 11 on 11.

Practice was stopped briefly after there were issues like jumping offside a few times in the course of several plays. All of the players huddled up in the middle of the field with Shanahan in the middle.

Rex heaved a wounded duck to Niles Paul, who was open down the sideline. Paul made the catch but a starting NFL defensive back would have knocked it down or picked it off.

With Graham Gano’s recovery from a back injury coming along well, the kicking duel started in earnest. Neil Rackers gets great height on his field goal attempts and it appears that Gano’s travel farther.

Kirk Cousins is showing some arm with a laser to a tight end over the middle.

If Rex does have to come in and play, the playbook will have to be tweaked substantially. He never looked very fast rolling out but after watching RG3 on the move and the watching him, well, they’re not on the same planet.

Have to say that with 90 players a lot of them do a lot of watching. Hard for a guy like Lance Lewis to get a good shot when he is spending so much time on the sideline.

NT Chris Baker shouts an expletive after missing a play. Again, guys like him get so few chances that one mistake can do substantial damage.

We get good Rex/bad Rex in practice, too. He had some great touch on a fade that dropped right into Paul’s arms in the end zone.

Neil Rackers gets great height on his field goal attempts and it appears that Gano’s travel farther.

Who cares about hang time on a FG attempt?

I'm no expert on field goal kicking, but isn't height also associated with avoiding blocks?

SkinsJock wrote:Accuracy is paramount for FGs

height/hang time plus accuracy would be good on kickoffs

I just love that we're having competition at this position - hopefully we get a better kicker out of it
