I will keep ALL of todays Minicamp tweets in this post.

If I miss any tweets you feel should be posted that I didn't please do so. I have not been able to get on twitter much lately and follow some of the newer beat reporters if there are any.

When tweets start coming in fast I will do my best at getting them up ASAP. They probably won't look pretty but I will go back and fix them.

Holy ****!

First, I need to see a video of this, please let there be a video of it.

Second, you KNOW the defense is going to be pissed off about this now.

Minicamp Day 1: Minnifield looking good

June 12, 2012, 6:22 pm SHARE THIS POST2 COMMENTS

The Redskins held the first practice of their three-day minicamp on Tuesday. Once again, they were able to take advantage of the presence of their new indoor field as the rainy conditions would have either cancelled or severely curtailed their activities.

No tweeting was allowed during the session, so here are some quick notes and observations in Twitter format:

-Jammal Brown is looking pretty spry. Should be fine to start the season but what about November?

--It looks like Maurice Hurt is packing a few more pounds than the 320 he is listed. After filling in at guard last year it looks like he is working strictly at tackle.

--Tim Hightower is looking better and better every week. He was doing some cutting after catching Short passes. Not 100 percent but getting there.

--Evan Royster is looking pretty quick. At this early point I would not be shocked to see him start multiple games this year.

--M. Williams did a good job moving to the ball to knock down an RG3 pass to Moss. Still not sure he's a lock for the 53 but he looked good there.

--Davis with a nice diving catch of an RG3 pass off of a rollout.

--We really haven't seen Griffin's vaunted deep ball accuracy yet. He just overthrew Moss by a good 10 yards on a play action rollout.

--Something to keep an eye on--Aldrick Robinson on kick returns. That is one aspect of the game that really can't be judged until preseason games start. Still, Robinson looks fluid and natural with a nice burst.

--Beau Reliford really looks the part of an NFL tight end and he is fluid and athletic. But he will need to have a big preseason if he is going to make it.

--Another diving catch for Davis. Maybe he is really, really getting serious about the game.

--In some serious and lively 11 on 11, rG3 completes passes to Davis, Moss, and Garcon twice. The last Garcon grab was a beauty, one handed in the end zone.

--Minnifield looks small out there, very skinny legs. But he moves well

--Robinson with a picture perfect grab of a picture perfect Cousins bomb. Robinson's stock could be on the rise.

--Rex threw behind a cutting Armstrong, allowing the ball to get knocked away. The next play he hit Paulsen deep down the middle for a TD. Good Rex, bad Rex.

--And then Rex gets picked by Minnifield, probably for six. Didn't see him.

--Bowen being held out today as he has been for most of camp after having a procedure done on his knee in April.

--Perhaps the pick earned Minnifield some extra reps. He has been out there a lot today.

--Roy Helu has not been participating in team drills as he is banged up. He has feature back ability but his consistent availability is a question mark.

--Minnifield again, breaking up an RG3 pass in the end zone. The guy is giving the coaches something positive to ponder for the rest of June and July.

--Lance Lewis taking advantage of his opportunity with a nice leaping end zone grab of a Cousins pass.

--Rackers clanks a 52 yarder off of the right upright after Gano nailed one from the same distance.

Very interesting note here

And great to hear that Minnifield is playing so well. It seems like we're due for another undrafted player to not only make the roster, but make a significant contribution to the team
