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

 

[McD5]

Lmao. That's classic.

You couldn't make that up.

 

[McD5]

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.

Has to be related to this guy...

How was his number NOT 69? I mean, come on!

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

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.

If there's one thing we can say about this thread, it's that football is a game of inches.

 

[Goaldeje]

Maybe YOU say that.

 

[Fear The Spear]

How was his number NOT 69 ?

Good question, and I have no oral argument against it.

 

[Win4us]

Maybe YOU say that.

[Fear The Spear]

Which WR's will strong-arm their way into the #3 and #4 spots on the depth chart ?
Stay tuned, in just this many days...

 

[Win4us]

So we basically have until tomorrow night to lock Kirk up right? Sure seems it'll be franchise tag for the year.

 

[Fear The Spear]

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.

 

[bird_1972]

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.

NFL Draft Bible confirms 9 NFL teams in attendance @ Ra'Zahn Howard pro day: ARZ, LA, MIA, NE, NYG, OAK, SD, TB, WAS

--@nfldraftbible

6-foot-3, 325 pounds.

He's entering the supplemental draft.

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.
