Capt. Kaos Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Does anyone else find that watching 80+ guys stretch and run slo-mo drills incredibly boring?

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Does anyone else find that watching 80+ guys stretch and run slo-mo drills incredibly boring? Or is it just me? Maybe's I'm getting old, but it wouldn't be something that would ever interest me either ttr, even from the "meeting the players" stand point. But people want to get as close to their heroes as they possibly can, (even more so when it comes to kids), have a need to feel they are "involved" with their team, and grab every opportunity, however mundane it may appear. So for that, it certainly serves it's purpose. And credit to the Redskins for continuing to afford folk that chance. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Does anyone else find that watching 80+ guys stretch and run slo-mo drills incredibly boring? Or is it just me? its fun for one day. some people get way too fanboy out there, but its cool to watch the drills and see guys run through practice. you can really tell the difference between the good players and the weak ones. i remember WR drills, watching moss vs guys like billy mcmullin and maurice mann. its amazing how you can see how moss moves so different from the other guys, makes you appreciate just how good top flight guys are. but its worth going for a day.

Perhaps it is an age thing...but man, last time I was there I was constantly looking at my watch. But I guess I can understand the appeal for others, especially kids.

Capt. Kaos Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 It's another excuse to catch up with ES & DTC friends. Cool, I was wondering who was going to get a ES day at Training Camp organized. Thanks for volunteering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 its fun for one day. some people get way too fanboy out there, but its cool to watch the drills and see guys run through practice. you can really tell the difference between the good players and the weak ones. i remember WR drills, watching moss vs guys like billy mcmullin and maurice mann. its amazing how you can see how moss moves so different from the other guys, makes you appreciate just how good top flight guys are. but its worth going for a day. Agreed. I went when I first moved to VA to get autographs from the players, but it was the closest I had ever been to the Skins in my life, having lived in Atlanta for so long. Now I'll go for one or two days (depending on how hot it is on the fields) to catch some of the drills, catch up with my ES buddies and see how some of the guys are looking out there in practice, I don't really care much about autographs, so I don't tend to bother with that side of it.

More Complete Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 All morning practices again, URGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:evilg:I like the afternoon one's because I don't have to take off work and stil catch the bulk of the workout. Oh well guess my bosses will hate me I know AGAIN with the all morning schedule. Why? :mad: I work in Ashburn and like to stop by on my way home to check it out, been doing it for years. Last year was the first year I was unable to. This will be the second. :mad: I really can't justify taking off work just to watch practice. I already have to take some days off for those Sunday and Monday night games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
