Clinton Portis (his former, Bronco self) might have been the best of Shanahan's RBs. Not sure of his weight while playing with the Broncos, but I'd guess it's significantly smaller than those guys. Maybe 200? Different running back.
Hard to tell in highlight videos, but while he does look pretty good (speed, for instance), he's not quite the same as his dad.
But then again, no one looks like his dad.
From Ryan O'Halloran, formerly of the Washington Times:
"Unofficial, but ... Andre Johnson vs. DeAngelo Hall yesterday--21 snaps. No catches for AJ80, only 103 yards offense by Hou on those plays."
He also notes that it's hard to tell if the Redskins were in man or zone from time to time.
All I know is that the Redskins' defense got TOASTED by Schaub and the Texans. Especially Doughty and Rogers.
You're right that there was very little pressure, but Schaub got the ball out fairly quick. He's a fantastic QB.
It's a private company, so the team, and the league, get to make the rules.
Shanahan's point is that he doesn't want teams to know what he's doing as soon as he's doing it.
Doesn't want teams to know every single thing the team does.
Holliday is a DE.
OLB: I'd go Orakpo, Carter, Alexander, Wilson, Jackson (maybe the new guy, Hall Davis).
I'd guess one more CB makes it.
Do we need two FBs to make the roster? Sellers and Davis?
I think Brandon Banks will probably be one of the LAST cut, if at all. Will depend a lot on next week's performance.
The fumble was a big hurt.
I just think keeping Kelly at this point is ridiculous.
From the team's perspective, yes, I suppose there is a line that PR folks shouldn't cross. Theoretically, this could have been one of those "team sources." I don't know any of the details here, either.
I think this HAS to have something to do with the Haynesworth situation, no?
I believe they've said that it doesn't, but come on. The timing is striking.
We are all excited to experience the announcement of draft selections IN REAL TIME TOGETHER. If you feel the need to be the first to 'blurt out' the team's picks you are better off staying out of chat and sticking to Twitter. Please refrain from announcing/discussing our picks until the official announcement has been made at the podium. Thanks!
