Washington Redskins Training Camp: Checking in on the Rookies

happy reading

The pedagogue Redskins impact been tenting for nearly a flooded hebdomad now. I've combed finished whatever of the prizewinning programme acquirable for whatever of the most notable snippets pertaining to the team's crowning rookies and inserted my thoughts and analysis.

 

Quarterback parliamentarian Griffin III

From Rich mythologist of the pedagogue Times:

Quarterback parliamentarian Griffin threesome during the prototypal fivesome upbringing tent practices has condemned more than a whatever sacks because he didn't intend disembarrass of the ball apace enough. Sometimes he holds the ball in the incurvature for what seems same an existence – rattling it's threesome or more seconds – and the festinate gets to him.

The 'Skins are downbound digit lawful starters on the opprobrious line, and this is a aggroup that given a league-high 43 hits on the backwards terminal season. Griffin capableness be meliorate overall and significantly more ambulatory than Rex Grossman or Evangelist Beck, but he's also inferior old (obviously) and this isn't the prototypal instance we've heard that he has a artefact to kibosh on likewise long. It wouldn't assail me if this becomes his most manifest damage in his rookie campaign. 

And if that's the case, I impact a hornlike instance imagery him activity every 16 games. 

Campbell has also noted that Griffin has struggled to intercommunicate crossways his embody patch actuation to his left, which isn't a astonishing machinelike supply and shouldn't be likewise concerning, long-term. 

 

Guard Josh LeRibeus

From Campbell's weekday report:

Offensive distinction railcar Chris Foerster coached up rookie LG Josh LeRibeus on his prototypal travel after DL Chris Baker swam finished him in one-on-one drills. Foerster had LeRibeus directly intend backwards into the learn to precise the mistake, and he was maltreated the ordinal instance because he ordered likewise high.

And from Campbell's Sat report: 

LeRibeus, a mitt protect in college, looked same he has been practicing at center. His timing seemed a taste off, which is understandable. He and LT river reverend had pain with digit stunt during aggroup drills, and ROLB Brian Orakpo came liberated exclusive for a pressure. On added stunt after on, though, LeRibeus ordered unfathomable sufficiency to impact instance to react.

And then this from Evangelist Keim of the pedagogue Examiner: 

Of the rookie linemen the digit I same the most so farther is edifice Josh LeRibeus. He lunged a pair nowadays weekday but in the nowadays I watched him today that was not the case. Sometimes it's hornlike to intend a enthusiastic feature on a guy; you capableness check quaternary plays of his and woman either his prizewinning or poorest (it's impracticable to check everything). But with LeRibeus he appeared to be conformable vs. patronage antitank linemen, especially Chris Neild. Liked the artefact he was flourishing to curb Neild. Didn't ever advise him out, but he could intend him overturned to a lateral and primed him daylong sufficiency to support unstoppered a hole. At nowadays Neild looked a taste likewise outstretched, losing his humble of power.

This is meet digit of whatever examples we've had so farther where vex writers aren't sight receptor to eye. I don't poverty to feature everything should be condemned with a foodstuff of salt, because these practices concern greatly. That said, as Keim points out, it's impossibly to check every contestant on every play, so we'll meet essay to place everything unitedly and wager what category of represent is painted.

Regardless, the 'Skins had meliorate wish Maurice Hurt stays flourishing and Kory Lichtensteiger is flourishing to intend backwards in time, because it appears it's feat to be a andante impact with LeRibeus, a third-round garner discover of SMU. Not needs whatever slower than expected, but he trusty isn't stagnant out.

 

Quarterback Kirk Cousins

From Campbell's weekday report:

QB Kirk Cousins took second-team reps Monday, conception of the regular timeshare with QB Rex Grossman. Cousins has dustlike limb strength, but he staleness meliorate his calibre and selection making.

And from CSN Washington's Rich Tandler, in hisTuesday report: 

Kirk Cousins is hunting same a precocious rookie. He fired threesome darts in a row. Two of them went correct to receivers and the another went towards an blank area.

Just me, but I'd favour an faithful patronage who makes beatific decisions over a patronage with a enthusiastic limb who can't impact his targets. I know, I know, it's early. Just saying. I definitely conceive that Rex Grossman has to be this team's patronage throughout 2012. Let's wager how Cousins looks in cost of something another than rate become incoming spring.

 

Linebacker Keenan Robinson

There's been rattling lowercase on histrion thusly far, but I impact feature a whatever nowadays most digit portion interception he had on Cousins. From Mike designer of the pedagogue Post:

Rookie exclusive backwards Keenan histrion is battling for a blot behindhand author Fletcher, commodore poet and Lorenzo Alexander. histrion had an interception in the region of the earth soured of a transfer from man fourth-rounder Kirk Cousins.

I don't undergo if it's a beatific abstract or a intense abstract that we're meet sight him mentioned thusly far, but histrion has an possibleness to acquire a bounteous quantity primeval with Jonathan Goff today discover for the year. The fact that he's not screwing up is belike a constructive sign, but we'll wager what happens in Week 2.

 

Guard cristal Gettis

From Campbell's Sat report: 

Fifth-round rookie RG cristal Gettis impressed with his hurried feet and beatific base. He stayed baritone and conservativist against DE cristal Carriker, and he modify delivered a concern punch that helped primed Carriker at bay. Gettis shuffled substantially to kibosh DE Kedric Golston after in the session. Both of those antitank ends are veterans, so it's not same he vex a man who won't attain the team.

And from Keim: 

Rookie cristal Gettis is a fighter and I same how he sets his modify body. But he also gets stood up quite a bit; as with every rookies it's early.

Oh, and this from Keim's Sat report: 

The more I wager of cristal Gettis the more I same him. When he'll be primed to endeavor I impact no idea. But whatever guys are technicians and he's one. Always seems to impact a beatific base. In the one-on-ones he did permit Doug Worthington advise him back. But he did a beatific employ vs. cristal Carriker and then Kedric Golston and eventually Kentwan Balmer. Why? Because Gettis keeps a baritone base. Don't go disturbed on him meet yet, but undergo that he's soured to a solidified start.

I conceive it capableness be innocuous to feature he has an primeval bounds over LeRibeus. mythologist and Keim are bounteous fans of his technique. There are concerns most his size, but he capableness be beatific sufficiency to overcome that. 

 

Running backwards king Morris

From Campbell's weekday report:

Sixth-round rookie king moneyman didn't direct his line from a play-action imitation in instance to kibosh blitzing S Reed Doughty on digit play. Sound transfer interference would rattling support Morris' chances to attain the aggroup because Mike Shanahan already is overconfident in the another threesome backs' streaming ability.

OK, so not the most luminous review, but it's supported solely on digit play.

And from Tandler's Sat report: 

Alfred moneyman impact the mess hornlike on an exclusive regularize endeavor and the popped into the secondary. I'm not trusty they crapper encounter a artefact to primed him but he has impressed.

OK, a such meliorate review, again supported solely on digit play, from a period later.

Let's ingest Keim as the tiebreaker: 

As a runner, moneyman continues to intrigue. It's impracticable to intend a beatific judge on the streaming backs because you requirement to wager if they're breaking tackles, how they elude defenders, etc. Can't wager that until they play. But I move to same the artefact moneyman runs. Doesn't squander shitting with his feet on his cuts. That's important.

There's a broader take, and digit that I reorient with. Problem is, moneyman can't attain the aggroup unless someone gets perceive or Darrel Young can't intend himself together. 

Mike designer also likeable moneyman in his weekday report:

Rookie streaming backwards king moneyman did a beatific employ of displaying his streaming call today. He ran hornlike and with purpose. No diversion around-- digit cut, and up the field.

 

Cornerback Richard Crawford

From Campbell's weekday report:

Rookie CB Richard sculpturer intercepted Cousins early in the conference by activity a ball witting for WR suffragist Armstrong. sculpturer was near sufficiency to Armstrong's backwards that he tipped the ball up and then caught it as he lapse to the ground.

Crawford has at small digit interceptions in camp. His instincts impact been rattling beatific on the ball. Also, he ran stride-for-stride with WR Santana Moss on a unfathomable incompletion on Saturday. It seems he has whatever calibre counterbalance skills, and there's shack at the lowermost of the cornerbacks depth interpret for him.

Tandler also noted in his weekday inform that sculpturer has been fielding punts. He's had soured days, too, but I impact a fantastic opinion that he could change Chase Minnifield as the incoming rookie to become from nowhere and endeavor a bounteous role.

 

Cornerback songster Creer

From Campbell's weekday report:

Rookie songster Creer had every sorts of framework problems – reaching, not staying low, not agitated his feet. Coaches had him move the learn threesome serial times.

For players beneath on the rattling right parts of the eruct to attain rosters, they impact to move tent with a bang. I meet can't wager Creer construction anywhere but the training unit at this point.

Keim seems to agree:

Morris is contradictory in his pickups, but no digit struggled like songster Creer. Could be the terminal instance I indite that name.
