StillUnknown Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 @Redskins Redskins.com Back at #Redskins practice on Friday morning....Players going through stretch and warm-ups right now. @BurgundyBlog BurgundyBlog.com Malcolm Kelly not practicing with foot injury. Needs to get on the field stat, or he's dunzo. @john_keim John Keim Nick Sumdberg is walking to the other field. Has a helmet and towel. #redskins @john_keim John Keim Good crowd today. Looks like crowd from past years. #redskins @ZacBoyer Zac Boyer TE Chris Cooley, who has general soreness, is wearing a visor, so he'll likely be limited as well for #Redskins practice. @Redskins Redskins.com Offense running drills, QBs are taking snaps from shotgun formation. ---------- Post added August-5th-2011 at 09:16 AM ---------- @Redskins Redskins.com WR coach Keenan McCardell put his charges through a relatively simple pass-catching drill. "Work hard, be good at it," McCardell shouts. @Redskins Redskins.com Rookie Aldrick Robinson drops one of McCardell's throws. "Come on! Come on!" McCardell shouts.

jaxskins Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 They should just cut the comb and be done with it.. I'm tired of it and I'm sure the skins are tired of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird_1972 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 F-it, let's just dump Malcolm and Torain now. We know what we have with both of them.... a ton of potential on the sidelines. Too bad, I really wanted Malcolm to come through this year, but it seems like he's already been hurt with something pretty bad. Do we have confirmation on the severity of Kelly's injuries? Is it just that he was stepped on or something or did he reinjure his hammy or knee? (I thought it was just a foot - and a minor injury at that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan4128 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 As disheartening as it is about Kelly, I can't say I'm all together surprised. It's so ridiculous that it isn't even funny anymore. The guy continues to find away to prove that he's fragile and cannot hold up. Kelly has great potential, but that potential looks more and more that it will not be realized. Moreso, Kelly should know that this his last chance to make this team. Hell, it should be apparent to him that this is not just his last chance to make the team, but to possibly land elsewhere should he be released. Based on his injuries, what team is going to want a guy that can't go more than a couple of practices without engine parts going bad? Truth is, I fully expect Kelly to be released and for him to disappear into the "What could have been" file cabinet. It'll be another epic fail by Vinny. Kelly, though, might have company should Torain continue to bust himself up every other day. Sad, really, high potential guys who just can't stay healthy.

The man can cut out of breaks faster than anyone out here. Thanks SU for the updates. Looks like Kelly and Banks will be watching from their sofas soon. I think Paul and the others are making cutting these guys easier with every practice. Hate it for Banks as the guy is explosive, but it appears the healthy recievers are making it easier to part with him. Interested on what Niles and others do in the return game.

StillUnknown Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 @MrDCsports Mr. DC Grossman looks pretty sharp out there @BurgundyBlog BurgundyBlog.com Banks out too, with knee swelling. Redskin Nation will weep if these bubbles get popped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan4128 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I'd prefer to see us keep Paul instead of Stallworth... As I, Postong. But early tweets suggest Stallworth is impressing and is a man on a mission. Perhaps the Skins carry 6 WRs and Paul would be on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick1796 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 The thing is Torain's injury though frustrating is a broken bone. As painful as they might be they are caused by impact or over torsion of a bone (this case sounds like impact. I bet a helmet smacked his hand.) This is easier to deal with long term than the repeated muscle injuries that MK has dealt with. The bone mends, it's stronger than before and you move on. Sure Torain gets banged up but this is a different kind of injury. This kind doesn't bother me so much as muscle and ligament damage. Heck i played football one year to that day after i had a compression fracture of the 5th thoracic vertebrae. I am still rooting for MK but i feel in my gut that he just can't take the twist, accelerating, decelerating etc that it takes to play WR at this level.

StillUnknown Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 @MrDCsports Mr. DC From what I've seen Moss & Gaffney have consistently lined up with the 1s, Armstrong with the 2s & Hankerson/Austin rotating with 2s @NFLSkins Ed Sheahin With Cooley out, Joe Torchia TE FA from UVA is seeing some time with the second unit.

dadirtbags Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Malcolm Kelly is Mr. Glass. is it possible that MalCOMB sees the writing on the wall here in DC ...instead of being cut by competing...plays hurt so he can join a new team after being dropped by us...to a team who may need him...JMHO...Hail!!!!

skinsfan4128 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Agreed...but if we do cut banks, we will need a returner - and that man seems to be Paul. Can we keep 6 receivers? To be honest, Postong, I fully expect the team to carry six this year.Shanny likes the depth and I'm sure that he will want to keep an extra as opposed to placing them on the PS to be picked up by another team. Niles can return kicks and can provide help as a WR, which Banks is limited in what he can offer as a receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBnotBlades Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Why would we cut Kelly right now? We paid his salary for a full year just to give him one more shot at going through training camp only to cut him when he suffers what appears to be a minor foot injury? If i was a knee issue I'd understand letting him go, but if he's just going to miss 1 or 2 days early in camp I don't really care. It might just be the kind of injury that a player routinely gets on gameday and is ready to practice by Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy it, dadirt. It could be construed that way with the crowded reciever corp this season, but what about the last couple of seasons when we were thin at the position? He continued to be hurt even when he knew the team needed him to provide depth and possibly a chance to start. Bottom line is the guy simply cannot stay healthy. He's become a liability, not an asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chicken littles have found something to harp on. Honestly, I don't care one way or the other. I'm more concerned about our O-line giving Rex or Beck time. That's going to make or break us this year IMO. ---------- Post added August-5th-2011 at 09:44 AM ---------- john_keim John KeimNick sundberg just had a perfect snap. #redskins Is Keim really tweeting that?
