Random Commanders Thoughts

[Elephant]

Marshall looks an awful lot like Jones...big, fast and can catch it out of the backfield. Of course I know Jones isn't that fast, but they look alike to me.

 

[Win4us]

Gotta say I'm getting excited thinking of our offensive potential. Djax, Doctson, Pierre, Reed, with Jones or Marshall in the backfield. Shaping up quite nicely imho.

Only thing that could slow that unit down is Leribus.

As surprising as it is LeRib survived (to this point anyway) on the roster, it would be downright shocking to me if he entered training camp as anything more than a utility backup at guard and center. A starter will emerge from the stable of guys already here, or a FA to be named later.

A point that's lost on many. I have to believe that McClue solicited Callahan's input as much as any of the coaches through FA and the draft. Seriously looking forward to the O line play this year, guys bought in, second year in the program under Bill, young'uns had a chance to get up to speed, etc. If he can even come close to the job he did w/ Scherff/Moses on the LG/C we're gonna go somewhere this season.

Our receiving corps looks pretty unstoppable. I don't know that we've had a group this strong since the Monk/Clark/Sanders days.

Jones and Marshall are a YUUGE question mark, though. Speed is nice, but that alone won't mean much. One of these guys has to become, at the very least, a two-down back. Scary to think we don't have even that locked up at the position yet.

I honestly don't think I'm as down on the guy as most of this board is. He's a backup and plays like a backup. Nothing wrong with that. The big question, in my opinion, is what Lichtensteiger still has in the tank.

He got blown up a whoooole lot in the GB game. A ton. I'm hoping/praying a lot of that was rust.

I feel a little better about that after having watched some of the youtubes on Marshall. He's fast, yes, but he also gives indications of being a downhill guy with pretty good eyes and power, with good lean and runs "behind his pads" like you want from a 2 or 3-down back. I try to stay away from the pure highlight vids and focus on the single-game ones, where you get to see every play. I think he's going to help us.

 

[Ax]

I just hope, whoever the running back is, that he consistently gets more then 3 carries before being switched. Regardless of how well/poor he's doing.

I couldn't believe they played him in that game. That was the one coaching decision I didn't like.

The team was rolling. There was no reason to change it.

 

[Bulldog]

I would not be surprised to see LeRibeus be let go in camp or during the preseason.

One scenario would be bringing in a vet in case Gruden feels uncomfortable with the depth inside.

The other would be that Kouandjio challenges for the LG job and shows enough that the team feels comfortable moving Long to center in case of an injury to Kory.

That would probably spell the end for Josh.

Bunch o' college FA's are in the fold, maybe some of this group can work it out. Gems like Jake are hard to come by nowadays but one can hope.

The group is shown at the dot com if one wants to take a gander and speculate on the next pre season 'man crush' candidate

Redskins Sign 14 College Free Agents

Keim put up some more insight on who the UDFA's are

Washington's undrafted free agents include mammoth tackle, big WR - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN

 

[Bulldog]

6'9 and 330?

Put him next to Ty Nsekhe and scare the hell out of second teamers in the preseason

Several of those guys sound good. Especially the T and WR.

Yup, got some big boys in the group alright.

[redskins26]

For your guys man crushes look for safety Tevin Carter to make the team was projected in some mocks to go in the 4-6 so he could be a bargain

 

[Bulldog]

Bobby Beathard used to find undrafted free agents like Mel Kaufman and Neal Olkewicz and that was when we had a 12 round draft!

I would expect that Scot had a couple of hidden 'gems' given the draft is now only 7 rounds.

 

[TomE]

I've often wondered how today's current flow of electronic information has affected the ability to discover 'hidden' talent gleaned from the pipeline of inside sources available to GMs back in the day.

Seems to me that databases would now be extensive and info easily collected by most anyone who cares to look it up.

All it would take is a cell phone and the slightest hint that a scout is interested in some obscure player for the info on that player to hit the 'airways' for all to see.

I suppose all in all it still comes down to evaluation of that info but with more guys looking and evaluating, the chances of finding those gems that get missed is less frequent.

 

[McD5]

This might be one of them. 6-3, 256 pound DE from Texas. Possibly another pass rushing LB at this level. We signed him as an UDFA.
