Thinking Skins Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 http://theredskinsblog.com/2008/09/01/on-the-field-for-practice-91/#more-1217 Click link for entire article * Kept an eye on Devin Thomas today, after the questions from yesterday’s comments, and … well, at the very least, I didn’t see too much to worry about. He definitely made a couple of catches over the middle that will be fearless if he makes them when he knows he’s going to get hammered, and he looked like he was putting in solid effort away from the ball. It all comes down to translating it to the games, of course, but there was nothing that I could see that seemed like cause for overt concern. I thought this was very interesting considering the hate thats being spewed for Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandymac27 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 "People who looked notably good in blocking/rushing drills included: Jon Jansen (at left guard) against Lorenzo Alexander; Stephon Heyer working Chris Wilson down and beating the spin move; Devin Clark doing a great job blocking Erasmus James; and Andre Carter and Chris Samuels splitting a pair of head-to-head face-offs." Go on Stephon! Woohoo! Hey, I made a rhyme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking Skins Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Yah, God forbid any Redskins players be subject to criticism! The horror!!!! I'm just glad that there's a report from practice to balance that criticism out a little bit. But who knows, even with the reports that he's working harder and having good practices, our fan base will probably still call him a bust before he plays his first game. I guess thats the cost of being a WR in Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soul Swinger Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Way to continue to light it up, Colt. I won't be surprised if the "Devin" who makes an impact on this team is not the one we drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistertim Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 LaRon Landry looks fired up and ready to go. He’s still making plays, like yesterday, and always adding in just that little extra shove — on the back after the end of the run, on the wide receiver after the catch, on the guy holding the first down marker just because. :rotflmao::notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewCliche21 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Loved the news all around, especially about Landry and Suisham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zCommander Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 This is really good: "Durant Brooks didn’t seem to be having problems holding, either. If Suisham can keep kicking off like he did against Jacksonville, and he’s kicking field goals like he was in practice (knock on wood) … at a minimum, let’s call that that a definite plus." Some were worried about Brooks holding the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
