We were in the 1972 Super Bowl.  Only lost by 7.  But we crushed the boys in the c-ship.

 

Yes, but an L is an L.

We're kinda overthinking this.  It was a joke.

And remember, to my shock... They passed on Sewell AND Slater for JaMarr Chase. Which, I get the LSU to LSU thing. But you cant LSU to LSU if you can't stand up.

 

Yeah I was pretty amazed when they took Chase over Sewell. I get the LSU thing too, but their OL was so so bad that I had a hard time seeing them passing on such a dominant LT prospect. I have a feeling they might end up regretting it, especially if Burrow keeps getting injured behind a crap line.

One thing I'd add about Milne.  Intangibles often seperate guys.  And from what I've heard his intangibles are through the roof.

I’m almost positive 85 is the limit by 4p.m.  So they beat the deadline way early.

Dax Milne seems to be gaining some real momentum… starting to think he has a real shot to make it.

I think the title of this is kinda pointless. I think everyone knows that I'm really high on Collins. Just a fun video to get you pumped and remind everyone of what we've sorely missed around the LoS, that he uniquely provides us.

Quote

 

This far into training camp, you start to look for who's moving up in the lineup and who's either stationary or, even worse, regressing. And during Tuesday's Washington Football Team practice, one wideout was given a chance — albeit a brief one — to work with the starters, which felt like an important step in his development. 

 

Dax Milne, the club's seventh-round choice out of BYU, checked into the huddle with the first-stringers as they were nearing the conclusion of the session. Again, it's not like Milne was opposite of Terry McLaurin throughout the morning, but still, it was a notable development.

 

Also notable was the praise that Ron Rivera gave Milne when the coach held his daily press conference. 

"He's ahead of where a lot of young guys would be at this time," Rivera told reporters.

 

In his preseason debut and first taste of the NFL overall last week, Milne caught two passes for 16 yards in New England and also returned a punt for 19 yards. Between that encouraging beginning and Milne's cameo with the main guys on Tuesday, he's certainly making a push to stick with the Burgundy and Gold into September.

 

Aside from Milne, here's what else is worth knowing about the action in Ashburn, which did not include pads...

• For the second consecutive day, Curtis Samuel was held out of everything. The fields at the facility were still a bit wet thanks to some heavy rain in the area, and after coming off of PUP and doing individual drills on Sunday, Rivera chose to sit Samuel on Monday so as not to risk him injuring himself on a slick surface. So, the assumption is that was once again the case for Tuesday.

• Ereck Flowers is doing more with the starting offense at left guard. During the earlier stages of camp, Wes Schweitzer was the one getting those reps. Rivera was asked about the switch on Monday and he didn't really address it, instead saying he's simply "happy with what we have" there. Perhaps Flowers will get the nod to open the preseason matchup with Cincinnati so the coaches can evaluate both he and Schweitzer in game conditions. 

• Elsewhere on the offensive line, Charles Leno Jr. is kind of like the Ryan Fitzpatrick of that bunch with how often he is tutoring players on the sidelines in down moments. Like Fitz, Leno Jr. is constantly walking younger members of the roster through mock sets, hand battles and more. Rivera no doubt appreciates that leadership.

• When Washington signed William Jackson III, they were not hesitant in claiming that they'll use him to track opposing No. 1 receivers if need be. At camp, that's mostly been the case, with Jackson following McLaurin no matter where McLaurin begins his route. Even so, there are instances where Jackson is deployed across from other targets, and he's being used on both the right and left sides of the defense; there were examples of that on Tuesday. He appears to be more versatile than the organization's most famous cornerback signing of late, Josh Norman.

• Kyle Allen has struggled since recovering from the ankle sprain he suffered on July 31, which is understandable, considering he did miss about two weeks worth of snaps. His accuracy has been lacking, and that's resulted in a couple of unsightly interceptions. In talking to the media after practice, Allen was definitive about appearing against the Bengals, so hopefully, he's shaken off the rust by then. There was some thought that maybe he could push Taylor Heinicke for the backup role behind Fitzpatrick, but any momentum behind that has subsided recently.

• Fans will be happy to hear that Dustin Hopkins went 5-for-5 during a field goal period. None of the kicks were long distance — they were roughly coming from 33 to 40 yards away — but all five went between the uprights, and following the final kick, Tress Way engineered an emphatic hand slap with his kicker. If you're in the mood for "nerdy specialist talk" about how Washington's trio of Hopkins, Way and Camaron Cheeseman are looking to correct the issues they had in New England, head right here.

• Lastly, Jaret Patterson was again spotted in the line of kick returners when it was their turn to hone their craft. On a couple of kicks, Patterson also was exposed to some work one level ahead of the return men as that lead blocker. Rivera and special teams leader Nate Kaczor are staying true to their word about wanting to get Patterson more involved outside of his duties as a running back.

If Reyes makes it, that would make 2 of our TE's who are newly converted to Tight End, either from other positions, or from another sport.

Thomas made the QB to TE switch, a whole lot easier than Tebow was able to do.

Should be interesting to see if, and how, Reyes' basketball skills can translate, to a different sport, AND different position, AND a different skill level of playing professional ball.

That's 3 major adjustments. Won't be easy. And will take time.

Milne and Patterson are making this roster imo

The haranguing about the 3rd TE spot is so Training Camp thread 🤣

[IrepDC]

Get Milne a couple reps with the ones this game and see how he does. Add a return or two along with Patterson. Let them compete. They're earning those spots in my opinion.

Listen, I never want to see another 3-TE Jumbo formation again in my entire life, so I get it. But when you’re talking about your 3rd TE being a developmental guy who’s never played football before, it is important lol. One injury and he sees the field every week. Two injuries and you’ve got your fingers crossed that he becomes the coolest success story ever, or else. 

[Malapropismic Depository]

3rd Tight End is important because he's your Secret Weapon/Decoy.

When everyone is expecting McLaurin or Thomas to get the ball in the End Zone, instead it goes to a wide open TE3 for the GWTD

Antonio Gates never played college football, just basketball. Sure, he played in high school, but that's one hell of a leap forward.

 

3rd string TE. No catch until week 4. Came on at the end of the year and year two, probowl.

Stroman never had a chance.

Yup, see my current roster prediction.  Although, I could see Cam Sims being cut.  I've never been a big fan.

As far as I know, Apke is a full transition to CB.  I think he's played every snap of training camp/preseason at CB.  So if he doesn't make it in the CB section, he's not making the team.

 

You think Saahdiq Charles, William Bradley-King, and AGG get cut?  Both 4th rounders from the 2020 draft gone after 1 season, ouch.

Seriously, everyone knows that Cosmi is secretly our fourth TE. So, we probably don't need a TE3. We just need to be bad at math.
