Random Commanders Thoughts

It's a quiet day, so if you listen close, when the breeze dies down, you can hear that sound.
It's the sound of Training Camp, and it's Collins your name.
It's Collins you to come and cheer Training Camp in this many days.

Today's Countdown to Camp will not feature a pun, or a 'play with words', for obvious reasons.

Your Daily Redskin today, advising you the number of days until Training Camp, is the former Terrapin, Dick Shiner

Let's please refrain from any juvenile jokes. We're all much better than that. And he deserves some respect.

He beat some stiff competition.
 
I have to hand it to him, he had all the tools to be a critical member.

I had to actually google his name to make sure he was real.

I wonder how he got along with his parents. That name's a real mouthful.

Not only is he real, but at 73, he's still throbbing with life. According to this article, he can still throw behind the back, more than 15 yards.
And when he was a pro, his balls were very hard to catch.

How hard did Dick Shiner throw? Once, in practice, his peg struck a teammate in the helmet and knocked him out. Another time, in the pros, he broke a receiver's two fingers.

"Stopping his passes is like trying to stop a missile with a dirty dish towel," North Carolina coach Jim Hickey said in 1962 after Shiner had shredded the Tar Heels.

Catching Up With . . . Former Terp Quarterback Dick Shiner - Baltimore Sun
 
If there's one thing we can say about this thread, it's that football is a game of inches.
 
So we basically have until tomorrow night to lock Kirk up right? Sure seems it'll be franchise tag for the year.
 
Will Cousins light the field on fire, to force McSnyder's hand into breaking the bank to pay him ?
How many days until we see the Conquest Camp of Kirk, followed by his trips to cash in at the banks ?
Just ask Tony.

Yeah, I'm not feeling a last-minute Captain Kirk signing happening today.

Apparently the deadline is 4pm so we will know in a little over 4 hours.

Well, looks like no one in the NFL was willing to give up any picks next year for this guy. He signs as an undrafted player with Houston.
