Don't worry fellas (not that it really mattered anyway) but RGIII is in the clear with this Meredith Barber situation, here's an article completely tearing down the story if you care to read it: http://httr24-7.com/blog/the-story-...s-completely-fake-lying-fictional-side-chick/

I just read this....RG3 trying to help out his buddy....

Robert Griffin III ‏@RGIII 8m

Doctors cleared me to practice. Coach is going to ease me in. Thank you for your support & See you in Richmond

We need to make sure Shanny knows what "Easing" in means

 

[tkim1343]

Whatever he's gonna be good to go torn lcl is not that bad

 

[jjs07]

I know, right?

I think after last year, both guys will be on the same page.

A bit of Cooley news...this is pretty big:

In a major shake-up to the D.C. sports-talk radio scene, Red Zebra Broadcasting announced on Tuesday that former ******** tight end Chris Cooley will replace industry veteran Andy Pollin on its afternoon drive show next week.

So no more Sports Reporters? Cooley doing his own show?


EDIT: Just saw the statement, Cooley and Czaban doing their own show.

Yea, Andy is done. They phased him out.

I really like the hire.

Here's a good read if you guys are interested:

Players checking in to Richmond today. TC starts...TOMORROW!

What are you guys most interested in seeing during the preseason?

Personally, I'm most intrigued about the battle at FS. My gut tells me that Rambo is going to win out against Philip Thomas and be paired w. Meriweather to start the year.

I also want to see how Amerson performs after being coached up by Raheem Morris.

I'm hype!!!

And I want to see how the FS battle will go to.

I'm also hoping that Hank can become consistent. He can be an X factor for us if he can catch the damn ball!

Will be looking at the Corners too

 

[madj55]

I'm interested in seeing how Jordan Reed and Chris Thompson perform, those guys will be key IMO. Any of ya'll heading down to Richmond this summer?

 

[jjs07]

Only time you'll catch me outside in the summer for prolonged periods of time will be either at the beach or pool

I love football, but I'm not trying to stand outside and watch practice in 90+ degree August heat. Not for me

Speaking of Chris Thompson, I think there is going to be a serious battle for the #2 RB spot. Thompson, Jamison, Helu, and Royster will be in the mix. Here's my guess of how things will shake out...

Morris
Thompson
Helu
Jamison (PS)

however, I could very easily see Jamison getting the #3 RB spot from Helu, but I don't know how likely it would be for Shanahan to carry 2 rookie RB's on the active roster.

 

[madj55]

I hear you on that, plus that Richmond heat is no joke. I just wanna check out the new facility though so I might make a trip down.

I don't know much about Jamison, but I'd like to have Thompson and Helu definitely as the backups to bring a change of pace to Alfred's bruising style of running. Also, Helu has shown he can contribute catching passes out of the backfield which could help us on 3rd down. That was a big problem last year.

This dude is kinda going under the radar but it feels awesome to actually have a kicker in Forbath that you can count on (so far) heading into camp. No more Gano, Suisham, Novak, Cundiff bull****.

 

[jjs07]

Check this out....1:00. Then look at the replay following.

That juke :x

This is some dre clark jergens right here...

 

[madj55]

:x that was dirty!! Even more impressive to me was that run at 3:34, this kid looks legit, I'm excited to see what he can do

 

[jjs07]

Alfred Morris isn't a great receiver out of the backfield...Helu can catch, and so can Jamison/Thompson. However, unlike Royster (and to some extent, Helu), Jamison/Thompson are MUCH more explosive with the ball in their hands.

Wow what a way to shake things up!!! I still will choose to listen to this show over Chad and Lavar in the evenings. I swear Lavar Arrington needs to take some broadcasting classes because he is WAY TOO WORDY whenever he tries to make a point or ask a question of an interviewe. Son will use 800 words just to ask a simple question that the average broadcaster would do using 100 words


On another note I wish they would bring back Frank Herzog to do play-by-play of Skins games instead of Larry Michael.

 

[tkim1343]

I'm looking forward to seeing who's almos backup as well. I think we found some more late round rb gold

A couple of notes:

Tweets from TK from ES:

In addition, the team placed defensive end Adam Carriker, offensive lineman Maurice Hurt and cornerback Josh Wilson on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list.

Carriker's surgery is done. Could be foreshadowing. Was hearing injury settlement yesterday before he went in.

From HTTR 24-7

HTTR24_7: More natural at FS. PT is box SS. @WarpathWarrior: @HTTR24_7 what gives Rambo the early edge right now?

Son of Washington:

Despite the bulky brace, #RG3 looks healthy and agile in morning practice at #******** training camp.

then from HTTR 24-7

People need to chill with the "big bulky brace" talk.. That was last year, this brace is different.
