Jarvis Jenkins in Beast mode

[ktball74]

Any tips for a first time training camper? I'm taking my son next Tuesday. I am definitely planning on being there around 7:30 am.

Forgot to update this: Kerrigan is not participating in team drills. #Redskins

Alright guys, don't post that much but follow the these threads and the others daily so thank you to everyone for the updates.

Just something that occurred to me, there were a lot of people, fans and "experts" alike, saying after the draft that the one pick that we made in the first few rounds they weren't happy with and that was a reach was Jarvis Jenkins. Now I don't follow college football closely so I really didn't know if it was true but now, even though it is still early, no pads on yet, the general consensus after seeing the first few days of camp seems to be that Jenkins could be a beast and one of the best choices we have made. Just goes to show that possibly Shanahan and his coaching staff and scouting team actually know what they are doing. As I said, it is still early but its looking more and more promising for the future of this franchise (future being a word I think the organisation only came across recently)

He's definitely making an impression in camp. Hope he keeps it up!

Jenkins could be good - or our O-line might be that bad!

Kyle Shanahan says that there is "no doubt" that the QB competition is wide open right now

[SlobberKnockinFootball]

My WR's Im keeping

Moss

Armstrong

Hankerson

Gaffney

Kelly

Banks

Stash as many of the rest of the practice squad.

Unless Stallworth just is an absolute dud, he will make this roster. He's a burner and can stretch out D's.

It's funny, how everyone was strong on Terrance Austin last year and now he's an afterthought. Niles Paul might be the sleeper in this group. :fortune:

[skinsaddict]

we really can't speculate on the receivers until you see them in a game. and donte hasnt even touched the field yet and people are cuttning him. August 4th will be his first day

Practice is over, Torain did something with his hand. Kyle said he didn't know exactly what was wrong. Cooley is fine. Beck just a tired arm

[MdMack21]

Beck sounds like he had a good day of work today. Love what I am hearing about Jenkins also. I don't know about you guys but I love this new team mentality. As Rak said, very boring and all about business. A bunch of guys without major "Me First Egos" and guys competing to earn a spot. #HTTR

Haslett asked if he was gout to plug in Bowen and Cofield with the first team tomorrow, he paused, grinned and said "We'll plug them in"

[darrelgreenie]

Any chance that Anthony Armstrong doesn't make the team?

I keep hearing this on the radio and its absurd to me that AAA wouldn't make the team.

Last I checked: 44 catches for 871 yards @ 19.8 YPC belongs on any team but especially on our team.

Brandon Banks said he sat out practice to rest his knee. Nothing new there.

@john_keim

John Keim

Banks says he woke up with a sore knee. Just being cautious. #redskins

Remember... This is a pro football team.... the mentality is "what have you done for me lately?"

The problem with it being early in training camp is that when John Beck actually throws a good deep ball, he's had too much time to do so.

In other words, let's dump on him for bad throws, and give him zippy credit for the good ones. Typical...

Its tough to keep 6 roster spots for receivers - I think we will keep 5 personally. I think Gaffney and Stallworth are competing with Kelly for one roster spot and Banks and Paul competing for the last spot and the KR/PR job.

[B55Green]

Is it true Torain was talking trash about the Eagles?

[kubstix]

If AA doesn't make this team I'll be furious. He is one of the bright spots on offense last year.

Hey, I'm an AA guy(certainly over BB), but we had no potions last year now we do. 'Tana is a #1, Gaffney is a #2, I think AA is our #3 but we have so many guys with sold potential...it's up in the air. I wanna see him make it but he has to preform.

Kyle Shanahan called Roy Helu a ''home run threat." Said his speed allows him to score TDs when he given a crease and hole. #Redskins

Bad habits are like a comfortable bed, easy to get into, but hard to get out of.

Right, but if he one a job in TC last year then put up these numbers: 44 catches for 871 yards @ 19.8 YPC

Why would anyone expect him not to make the team?

[RichmondRedskin88]

I kinda hope Niles Paul gets a spot. I see a lot of potential plus he's pretty damn fast.

[MartinC]

Thats true and if he really stinks up camp and preseason no one should be safe. However most recently he produced a record year for a Redskins rookie receiver (even if he was a 28 year old rookie). His yards per catch were in the top half dozen in the entire NFL - he was right there with the DeSean Jacksons of this league and receivers like that dont get cut unless they really screw up.
