28skinsman Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 what a shame for P Thomas, I was worried this was the injury for J Reed as well hopefully they both come back healthy and hungry. I see this morning J Reed is back playing that's a good sign. I would like to see this kid grow fast and make a huge impact in rookie season. HTTR!

Ken Linkins Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 It seems that this is the 2nd year in a row that a misunderstood draft pick turns up "big" for us. Many were concerned we didn't take any help for RT and felt that drafting 3 DB's was one to many. Just like in 2012 when we picked up 2 QB's, the 2013 draft seems to already paying us back by having Rambo in the wings after Thomas go's down for the year. Say what you want about Coach Shanny and GM Allen (lucky or Skilled), but these past two drafts have shown me they know what they are doing. Mr. Thomas now has until next April to get healthy and learn the Redskins system without any pressure, then he must show what he can do. In the mean time, Mr. Rambo can help carry the banner for this years draft class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorrell77 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Thought he was going to be the next A. morris type draft pick for us , But it looks like it will be Amerson , Or Rambo ...Maybe Minnifield . Go get fixed kid and come back strong . Paging Steven Jackson . Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdhawk4skins Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Thomas was my favorite draft pick and I rode his wave prior to the draft. It's unfortunate that he didn't get a chance this season to develop into what I believe is a long term solution in one of our Safety positions. However, this season looks like Rambo's to shine. He came out of the gate ahead of Thomas in both development and knowledge of the defense. If we can avoid another injury from Meriweather and Rambo then I think we'll still be much better at safety than last season.  What I'm most impressed with is how our corner back situation has evolved. Amerson, Minnifield, and Biggers all look to have really strengthen our backfield situation. Maybe it is a big enough upgrade to move Hall to FS in some spells during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DREDAY202 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 This is just freakin GREAT! The one guy who could PLAY R. Doughty off the team gets hurt for the year!! Nothing new, this happens every year man! I hope we bring in another SS, lest will be one more injury away from Dumb Doughty starting again.

It figures.... HTTR!!! I know right. what a shame ,at this point we now have to hope for a complete recovery for next year !!! What's up HTTR1? Why did you change your name?

Ethos95617 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 As long as we don't lose any other DB's we should be ok. That's a big IF but if we stay healthy in the backfield I think we'll do some good things in pass coverage this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hailyeah1 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 hailyeah1 , Sorry Bro , But HTTR1 was AWESOME . JMO yeah i mulled it over before i changed it ,i already had an exskins handle from a few years back,hardly ever used it , it was  to long ,and didn't like it . also i figured it would be harder to twist the new one into something derogatory.  With out warning upgraded to the new format .it took them about a month for exskins to fully bring it up i started posting on the stadium forum until they finally got our new  forum up...  the stadium forum we can start new threads i started one about white or grossman at #3 and 1 about female referees.  there is also a thread with dallas jokes  in the around the league sub thread ,some good ones ,check it out !!!  Hail to the Redskins!!!
