texasthunder Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 "It's a big year for Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis. The player who earned team's franchise tag this offseason is playing for a contract next year. He's out to prove that last season's breakout campaign wasn't a fluke. Thus far, Davis is reportedly off to a rough start. The Washington Examiner writes that Davis hasn't been a "favored target" of Robert Griffin III during camp. They write Davis has had a "quiet camp." One report like that is interesting. Two is a trend." This is something to watch closely, and I wondered about it before. I dont believe it has anything to do with Davis or his ability, but more so that Robert has not targeted TE's during his college career. I believe of the 1200 pass attempts he made while at Baylor, less then 200 of them were to his tight ends. And I have to wonder if the coaches have implemented less pass plays to the tight ends based on this, or if its just too early in the training camp and preseason to see any pattern.

I have a feeling in practice our WR are simply getting open. Once the real games start, like it always seems those guys will get covered up and LB's covering Davis will be a big + for us. Not really worried yet. But we will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the real games start, like it always seems those guys will get covered up and LB's covering Davis will be a big + for us. Not really worried yet. But we will see +1. Griffin will find the open man, and that will be Davis running past linebackers. I'm not worried about it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVAbrendan Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 If Davis, Cooley, Paulsen, or Paul get open, Robert will find them. Although it was only 1 game, I'm confident that his progressions are quick enough to spot a defensive hole and exploit it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rookieskin Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 It is nice to see that a WR as opposed to a TE is becoming our #1 receiving target....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpskins10 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Oh man, I was really hoping for Hank to break out this year. He was having a great camp. Hopefully it all comes out negative. Apparently they may have put him in the cold tub? I don't think that'd be a knee injury or anything then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califan007 The Constipated Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Zac Boyer @ZacBoyer May be a heat issue for #Redskins' Hankerson. Athletic trainers quickly pull off jersey, shoulder pads and put a towel on his head. Mike Jones @MikeJonesWaPo Not sure of Hankerson's injury, whether he was hurt or heat-related. He got off the cart and entered the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCClybun Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hankerson got carted off. Zac Boyer reported that it looked like he may have been getting into the cold tub. Doesn't sound like doctors were working on some sort of injury on the side line. Might be heat related. Let's take a deep breath. Though I may burst into tears if it's worse...
