doggface gremlin Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Does any one remember when Redskins.com had the eight Redskins players who were going to NFL Europe? http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=15223 Antonio Brown, WR, Amsterdam Admirals Jonathan Combs, RB, Not Assigned Steven Harris, WR, Rhein Fire Aki Jones, DT, Frankfurt Galaxy Tyler Jones, K, Not Assigned Calen Powell, TE, Cologne Centurions Richard Smith, WR, Hamburg Sea Devils Aric Williams, DB, Cologne Centurions Well the new NFL europe rosters are up on their website after their training camp and i dont see Antonio Brown on any of the teams rosters. I understand not all eight will make it , but i was really hoping to see what Brown could do. Does this mean Brown dosent have as much potenial as we all thought if he cant even make an NFL Europe team? Here are the Redskins I see on the teams rosters........ http://www.nfleurope.com/players Aric Williams, DB, Cologne Centurions Jonathan Combs, RB, Cologne Centurions ( on injured reserve ) Tyler Jones, K, Hamburg Sea Devils Richard Smith, WR, Hamburg Sea Devils Jonathan Pollard, LB, Cologne Centurions ( says hes a redskin but he wasnt 1 of the eight sent to NFL Europe ) I didnt see Brown,Harris,Aki Jones,and Powell. At least we get to see Tyler Jones kick,if Hall is let go soon GIbbs will give this guy a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimster Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 you're right - they did send Brown, but he's not on any NFLE team according to their website. - I wonder if he got hurt? http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=15223 Brown Among Eight Headed to NFL Europe By Gary Fitzgerald Redskins.com January 27, 2006 The Redskins will send eight players to NFL Europe, including wide receiver Antonio Brown and defensive tackle Aki Jones, both of whom spent parts of last season on the Redskins' 53-man roster. The complete list is as follows: Antonio Brown, WR, Amsterdam Admirals Jonathan Combs, RB, Not Assigned Steven Harris, WR, Rhein Fire Aki Jones, DT, Frankfurt Galaxy Tyler Jones, K, Not Assigned Calen Powell, TE, Cologne Centurions Richard Smith, WR, Hamburg Sea Devils Aric Williams, DB, Cologne Centurions Brown had an up-and-down 2005 season for the Redskins. He earned a roster spot coming out of training camp as the team's primary kick return specialist, but he committed a fumble in Week 1 and was released shortly thereafter. Antonio Brown The Redskins brought Brown back in late November due to injuries to David Patten and James Thrash. In his third game back, he returned a kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown and was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week. For the season, he logged 19 kick returns for a 23.1-yard average and 13 punt returns for a 4.8-yard average. Jones joined the Redskins as an undrafted free agent out of Fordham and earned a spot on the practice squad coming out of training camp. He was promoted to the active roster in late September, taking the place of injured lineman Brandon Noble. Jones made his NFL debut in Week 9 vs. Philadelphia and recorded two solo tackles. In total, he played in four games last season, serving as a reserve defensive lineman. Harris spent the entire 2005 season on the Redskins' practice squad. In 2004, he turned in the most productive season of his collegiate career at Arkansas, with 37 catches for a team-high 617 receiving yards. He also pulled in four touchdowns on the season. Combs was on the Redskins' practice squad at the start of the 2005 regular season, but was released on Sept. 22. He originally signed with the Redskins in May 2005 and played in three preseason contests with the Redskins last August. Combs finished his college career at Texas College in Tyler, Texas. He finished his final season rushing for 1,147 yards on 156 attempts with 10 touchdowns. Smith joined the Redskins' practice squad on Dec. 7, 2005. He has seen limited NFL action, playing under Al Saunders and the Kansas City Chiefs for two seasons before joining the Redskins. At Arkansas, Smith appeared in 49 games as a Razorback and recorded 135 catches for 1,858 yards and 18 touchdowns. Powell signed on with the Redskins' practice squad on Dec. 27, 2005. He spent training camp and part of the 2005 season on the Seattle Seahawks' practice squad. Powell played his collegiate ball at Duke and started 17-of-44 games. Jones is a first-year place kicker out of Boise State. He signed with the Redskins in January 2005. Last season, he spent time with the Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears. The 6-1, 201-pounder was an All-American kicker following his senior season at Boise State. Williams signed with the Redskins in January 2005. The 5-11, 172-pound corner signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted rookie free agent but was released prior to the start of the regular season. He was a two-year starter at Oregon State from 2003-04, earning All-PAC 10 honors his senior season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimster Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 according to the NFLE draft - he wasn't drafted either (...and Zack Keasey is listed as a 49er) http://www.nfleurope.com/news/story/9192141 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stophovr6 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 he did one good thing as a redskins, yes it was a big thing....but other than that he was nothing but awful/badhe is a very bad player I have to agree with doodie:doh: on this one. I really don't Like him. He looses the ball and unless he is untouched he drops like a fly. The only reason he made the touchdown v the Cardinals was becasue he was untouched thanks to poor Specials teams effort on the Cards part and a good one on the Skins part. The second any player touches his shoelace he goes down. I'm not syaing he isn't athletic, he just isn't a very good football player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggface gremlin Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 I cant wait to see Tyler Jones kick for the Sea Devils though. He could be are new kicker if John Hall is let go. http://www.redskins.com/team/profile.jsp?id=1236 Every NFL Europe game will be shown on the NFL Network. http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/story/9287920 So i can see alot of Skins who are their. Plus i hear that Aric Williams/CB looks good, he was drafted in the 2nd rd of the NFL Europe draft. http://www.redskins.com/team/profile.jsp?id=128 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jofizz Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Antonio has always been known as a kick returner and nothing more. I wouldn't expect him to ever be a good reciever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
