What happened to the QB who the skins had last summer who tore it up playing overseas in Europe.

From the coverage last summer, it sounded like he fit the mold of a 3rd QB, but got lost in the numbers crunch when the skins kept both Collins and Brunell.

"What happened to the QB who the skins had last summer who tore it up playing overseas in Europe."

You mean Casey Bramlet...he was cut last year and didn't make the team. The Skins couldn't find a young 3rd stringer last year to replace Brunell and i am kind of glad they didn't keep someone for the sake of it. I think the guy from Maryland made the Practice squad last year, can't remember his name and I' am an alum.

I'm big on the idea of drafting Kevin O'Connell out of San Diego State to fill our 3rd QB opening - the kid has huge upside potential, and minimal risk if taken in 5th or lower round. If Zorn is the guru of QB development that they say he is, he should be able to mentor the rookie backup at the same time he is mentoring the anointed one (JC), right?

Hollenbach is the kid from MD. He is terrible.

Didn't Bramlet then go to atlanta and not make it there either?

wow, i got excited when i saw how long the blog was, then realized less than half of the post was devoted to football, and the rest had to do with "random" crap. The title of the blog should have read:

"I hate the Redskins so lets talk about the Nats, Caps, and Flyers...and a few redskins notes thrown in so i can give the appearance of doing my job."

For a post titled "Position Glance - Quarterback" there was 1 sentence about Campbell and a small paragraph about the 2nd and 3rd stringers.

But thankfully we have in depth coverage (2 long paragraphs) about baseball and hockey.

redcoat,

bramey is now one of 4 QBs on the dolphins roster

http://www.nfl.com/teams/miamidolphins/roster?team=MIA

He's currently sitting behind josh mccown and that mormon kid.

You take baseball away for over 30 years, then bring it back and expect people to care? Screw baseball.

The only later round QB I've seen repeated mock draft sites flagging as the Skins' interest is Erik Ainge. I don't know anything about him. A couple places said Josh (Jake?) Johnson too.

The biggest downside of Brunell leaving is what he did as the scout team QB ... the position usually filled by the #3 QB. B/c he was a long time vet, Brunell could mimic opposing QB styles pretty well ... which probably helped out immeasurably to prep the starting defense. My primary recollection about the Saints game this past year was about how "on fire" the D was against Brees ... thanks, in part, to Brunell.

Thanks TSH. Who knew?

As Beck (the Mormon guy) was kept by Parcells I think he's probably in line for #2, which means that Bramlett and the other guy I've never heard of are fighting for #3.

Who said we don't have any talent in my Fins? Well apart from everyone, that is.

Ugh.

Jasno,

Way to get in the crack about restructuring contracts, you could not resist could you.

Thanks for the Nats, Caps and Flyers news I have been waiting for that all day.

Way to pin Palmer on Vinny, because he was in charge last year, yea whatever.

Wasn't the Saints game in 2006 Sween? When Brunell was #2 and The Todd was #3?

Hollanbach wasn't even good at MD

Jason, you are a Baltimore boy. It is your job to try and rip DC as much as possible in regards to baseball.

My client was deliberately misquoted by a vengeful media ... what he actually said was "This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' around. No time for dancin', or lovey dovey, I ain't got time for that now."

See, he is not going to be a diva, prima donna receiver in the NFL ... he's going to be hip and cool, like David Byrne, and wear over-sized pads and do that "same as it ever was" routine. It will be hilarious. Plus he's really tall, blocks well, and can catch balls, such as.

jlc,

"a true baseball town"...there are only a handfull of teams in all of the MLB that truly have the baseball town effect. NYY, BOS, CHC, PHI, and STL. The rest, dont really stack up the attendence in April. PLus, in most cities fans come to the park when there is a product worth seeing. Fact is baseball actually got its first organized start here in the district amongst politicians. The game belongs here.

2006 ... 2007 ... whatever, such as ... Jason Campbell started against the Saints ... Brunell QB'd the scout team.

Is Zorn at least on the list as "break glass in case of emergency" QB? What a story THAT would be! He's younger than Vinny Testaverde, right?

If I were Drew Brees I would be DEEPLY offended that anyone would think that Mark Brunell could successfully emulate me.

Even for just a couple of plays in practice!

just what i want to do, drive to RFK then take a bus to the new stadium. Nooope!

KM, I'm with you, its like he can't put something out there without some dig at the organization. I guess I should just ignore it.

Hey, here's a thought for a sunny Thursday morning.

If Rabach has to be castrated to make the hand-off to JC easier to accomplish would that count against his stats as "having given up a sack"?

This ain't no Mudd Club or CBGBs

Sween its Josh Johnson...

When my cat got de-rabached, they removed the filberts and left the chicken skin.

Funny thing....Kedric Golston was a guest on Redskins Radio the other day and he was asked about the "sleds" the players push in practice. Mike Sellers previously mentioned that the old wooden sleds were heavier than others. Kedric agreed and said "some of the sleds are bigger than most guys "decks" - but it sounded like he said another word instead of "decks." :)

Just wanted to give a heads up that Randle-El is going to be in studio on The Mike Tirico Show today around 11:40 ET. You can stream his show on ESPN Radio.com Maybe he'll give some insight to the draft, or what he's been up to in the off season.

jlc,

dude, u r the best!!!!! i love reading ur blog and can't wait to get ur take on caps/nhl playoffs -- keep writing bro!

Question for those with extraordinary intergoogling skills (i.e., I whiffed): when he as on the KC Chiefs, did The Todd hold for place kicks?

Jeez, he only promised a "glance" at the QBs... guy can't win,can he.

Same topic covered here at The Redskin Report blog.

nothing but crybabies here today

Ok JLaC, you stated the obvious, that we need a #3 QB. So who do the 'Skins have their eyes on for a kid who Zorn can develop as a #2 for when Collins leaves and that we can pick up in the later rounds of the draft? I.e. Where's the inside info on this one?

The interesting bit from that Redskin Report blog is the one about running backs, esp. the presumed roster battle btwn Marcus Mason and Eric Shelton ... not to mention the photo of Sellers wearing a figure skater shirt.

Wow! On that site, the pic of the throwbacks, those yellow hats and pants still shock ya. Wow!

The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now

Karen,

JLC doesn't HAVE any insider info. He also doesnt care to do any research to make his blogs worth reading.

The skins DID schedule Henne for a visit. This is common knowledge but JLC does not seem aware of this. It would be interesting to know a little bit more about that.

Hey, just because I'm my own mind, it doesn't mean I can't reach the same conclusion on some things as all of you. :) JLaC has to get some real info for us.

I got three passports, couple of visas, don't even know my real name

Depending on where Chad Henne falls to, I believe he could be a tremendous pick up, for two reasons. The dude is an excellent quarterback with what he was given last year, and with him hopefully falling to a decent position (not too expensive), he could mature into a spectacular #2, or if JC fails or doesn't develop quickly enough, could potentially take over as #1. Although I still easily believe JC will be able to mature sufficiently to be able to play very well by the end of this season assuming our offensive line doesn't die, being prepared for injury or retarded development doesn't hurt.

My $.02.

I like Dennis Dixon, Oregon, as a late round QB pickup. He's coming off an ACL injury but he was having a helluva year before that. He's tall and athletic and sounds like he's got a decent arm.

sween - I would not call that a figure skater shirt to the Meast himself. Damn he's large.

karen, i agree with you.

If we can trade out of the first round and get a high 2nd and 3rd round pick, then i would take henne with that 3rd rounder (or even our own 2nd) and not think twice about it.

Aside from the benefits you mention, he could also be very valueable in a trade in 2-3 years with a QB-needy team. Henne could even net us a future 1st rounder. I see Henne as a great investment. If we trade down, I definitely see us nabbing him.

mtn - I read somewhere that Dixon had a great pro day despite only being a little over 3 months removed from acl reconstruction. Plus, he's got good size and speed.

I am against wasting a high pick on a QB. Use high picks for need (OL, DL, CB, WR). Hopefully guys that will be in the line-up immediately.

mile high ... no doubt ... the only way I would address Sellers in person would be as "Mr. Sellers ... sir."

As in, "Hey, cool cutoff, non-figure skating-looking shirt, Mr. Sellers, sir."

This town is so pitiful. The National Pastime is Baseball... not Football. All you people in this town care about is who may be the 3rd string QB, who may eventually get to no. 2, who may eventually be no. 1. Who cares!!!! Geez, the Nationals have played 3 games at home, two against the nothing Marlins, and Mr. LaCanfora is ready to move the Nationals back to Montreal. God you people are despicable. Get a life.

I don't think I or Mtn are advocating for taking Dixon or any qb for that matter high - but in round 5 maybe. If he's still there, i'd pull the trigger. One concern with him would be whether he could play from under center as effectively. He took most of his snaps at Oregon from the shotgun if I recall correctlty.

Posted by: Gary | April 10, 2008 11:27 AM

Getting bashed for discussing the Redskins on a Redskins blog. Wow! Just, wow!

Mtn - where are you? Getting any of this spring snow? Literally can't see outside my office window it's coming down so hard.

unregistered:

if we trade out of the first and land a 2nd and 3rd, then we will have 5 picks in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

that allows us to cover the positions you mentioned and still nab a QB. mid-round QBs are generally good investments because if you decide you don't need them, you can almost always recoup their value in a trade. Campbell isnt a franchise QB yet and Collins only has 2-3 more years left in him. Since QBs take time to develop in the pros, and we need a backup QB now, I see this as the ideal draft to get a good QB. Taking a QB in rounds 5-7 is like throwing your picks away. YOu have a far better chance of finding OL and DL depth in those rounds than you do a QB. We would be wise to nab a backup QB earlier and add depth along the lines later (assuming we grab atleast one OL and DL starter first)

Posted by: Gary | April 10, 2008 11:27 AM

Gary go to the Nats blog, this is a Redskins blog we discuss the Redskins.

I thoroughly agree with whoever the heck talkshowhost is. As long as we get one surefire hit on the OL and DL, and there are at least one real potential player later in the draft at those two positions that could be grabbed later, 2nd and 3rd rounds would be a great spot to nab a QB.

I don't think I or Mtn are advocating for taking Dixon or any qb for that matter high - but in round 5 maybe. If he's still there, i'd pull the trigger.

Posted by: mile high | April 10, 2008 11:30 AM

MH - I agree - I said I liked Dixon as a late round pick up. By that I mean 5th round or later also. I read he played mostly shotgun as well. The report also said he was good at reading defenses and making progressions to 2nd and 3rd receivers. He may not contribute right away but he sounds like he has alot of potential.

It sound like Henne may go in the 2nd round. He is being lumped into discussions along with Flacco from Delaware and right behind Brohm who is slated to go late 1st early 2nd. I don't think we should use anything higher than a 5th rounder on a QB. Ainge, Dixon and Booty are kinda intruiging to me since they played in tougher conferences and some big games. Dixon was primarily in the gun with the spread offense, Booty may have peaked and I saw Ainge play a number of times with some questionable decision making at times but they did all show potential IMO.

The two best entries so far:

Being called an idiot on Redskins Insider is like being called "Democrat" by a Republican.

Being called an idiot on Redskins Insider is like being called "kettle" by a pot.

Here is my question. Do we want more of a running QB at no 3 or a in the pocket guy? In terms of practice and scout team play, I think a runner is better, as Collins can simulate a good pocket QB. But in terms of play, if we are down to the no 3 guy in a game, do you want him running all over the field or playing it safe?

t_e, I get nothing for smelling a fart in church???

MTN - live just south west of Denver in Highlands Ranch.

tshowhost,

I understand your logic, it makes sense. PErsonally, I would rather use all 5 picks on positions that we know we need starters for next season.

So Jason...when do you leave for ESPN? Will Barry be taking over the blog, or simply the beat reporter job for the Redskins?

unregistered - the only position that I would say we no matter what need a starter for next year is CB. Granted, that's assuming a lot, but still. I doubt we need 5 guys that must be ready to start the first game. I'd say we need 3/4 - a versatile OL (or 2 so all the positions will be covered), a DL, and a CB. Besides, even if we are deficient in any area, Lorenzo Alexander can do it all.

Tough to pick an early QB in this draft when we have greater needs in other spots. I agree after 6-7th rounds its useless. Wish we had that 4th round pick right about now. If we could trade our 1st for a 1,3,4 or 2,2,4 or something maybe?

Back on Rabach for a moment, don't they teach Sumo wrestlers to voluntarily retract their test!cles?

If yes problem solved - send Rabach to Japan in the off-season to train!

Being called an idiot on Redskins Insider is like being called a "geek" by a nerd.

I remember somebody posting on here jocking Sage Rosenfels big time about 6 months ago. He'd be a nice backup/3rd string we drafted in the 4th round under Martyball way back when. I know we are all praying JC pans out. If not, we are f'd for years.

Being called an idiot on Redskins Insider is like being called a "scum-sucking no-good waste-of-skin b@st@rd" by my ex-wife.

yo, talent evaluator

Being called an idiot on Redskins Insider is like the free drink you get at a 2 for 1 happy hour special. It's the blog's way of saying thanks.

Adam

Greg,

If we can get our DT (assuming that the top DEs are gone) in the 1st, Nelson in the 2nd, and OL with the first 3rd rd pick, I would go for a OLB like Bryan Kehl with our comp 3rd rd. pick. Even more so if we could trade that 1st pick for and early 2nd and 3rd picks.

That would also include picking up a CB prior to the draft.

Teams like the LA Dodgers, St Louis Cardinals, Seattle Mariners, Baltimore Orioles, and many others have healthy attendance -- even though 33%-40% of their stadium is empty on a regular basis.

MLB expects its teams to average 25,000-30,000 fans a game, which the Nats have done with the exception of last year, where they averaged 24,217/game with a terrible team.

2006 - 26,582/game; 2005 - 33,651/game.

Baltimore averaged 27,060 last year -- but you can't really compare them and the Nats, because Camden Yards fills up many times a year to see the Yankees and Red Sox, with the majority of the stadium pulling for the visitors. Even with that awesome advantage, they only averaged 3,000 more fans than the Nats who have no Yankees or Red Sox to pull in fans on a regular basis.

The Nats will average at least 25,000 this year, and be considered healthy. When a team falls below 20,000, like the Devil Rays and Marlins do year after year, then the MLB is concerned and relocation talks begin.

The end of the school year is when attendance really increases for the Nats every year. To judge them by April numbers is not to know anything about Washington sports.

Way to pin Palmer on Vinny, because he was in charge last year, yea whatever.

Posted by: kmdp4 | April 10, 2008 10:32 AM

Vinny was, and has been, a major part of this organization for pretty much the entire Snyder era. To completely absolve Vinny for not being the head guy "in charge" is just as, if not more naive as completely pinning any past personnel decisions on him.

Just because Bill Belichick has final decision on personnel moves doesn't mean Scott Pioli gets no credit (good or bad) for New England's roster. Vinny Cerrato has been a major part of this organization, and as such, he gets a large chunk of credit for ALL personnel moves in the past, whether good or bad.

One interesting thing on Jason's post was that he'll be chipping in on the hockey playoffs coverage. Has he done any work other than Skins/NFL since he's been on this beat?

Being called an idiot on Redskins Insider is like being called an artard by the geek squad at Best Buy.

I am glad I am not going to games right now the Nats are playing something awful. I can't tell if its the new stadium or what, but they got to right the ship quick.

Posted by: dcsween | April 10, 2008 11:50 AM

The first sentence was interesting. The second was too long. So, for that one, you get to shake the winner's hand, right after Nate buys him a drink.

My Ideal Draft (while still being somewhat realistic):

Skins trade 21st overall pick to Atlanta for their highest 2nd and third rounders. ATL select Brian Brohm.

The Skins also trade Betts to someone for a 4th and 6th.

2 (ATL) DT Trevor Law
2 (WAS) WR Jordy Nelson
3 (ATL) G Roy Schuening, Oregon St.
3 (WAS) DE Chris Harrington, Texas A&M
3 (COMP) Craig Seltz, S, LSU
4 (???) LB Tavares Gooden, Miami
5 (WAS) OT Jeremy Zuttah, Rutgers
6 (WAS) FB Jerome Felton, Furman
6 (???) QB Colt Brennan, QB, Hawaii
7 (WAS) DL Barry Booker, VT
7 (WAS) OT Carlton Medder, Florida
7 (WAS) DT ndre Fluellen, FSU

Notes:

1) Yes, I deliberately left off CB as I think we have to fill this need with a veteran player but after june 1st. We need a starter this year and we need to draft a CB to replace springs with our #1 pick next year. The Giants showed what you can do with a so-so defensive backfield when you have a solid defensive line. Please note I have us taking 2 defensive linemen expected to contribute this year and 2 in the later rounds to develop.

2) We didnt do anything with Betts last year and we didn't really miss him either. I think we will be fine with Portis starting and Carwright backing him up (Mathis takes rocks place in the return game) with Eric Shelton/Marcus Mason/Post June 1 cut veteran competing for #3.

3) Initially I had us taking Henne with our Comp 3rd our 4th, but Seltz and Gooden are underrated and too good to pass up. Brennans stock has fallen but he would be a good pickup in the 6th.

Being called an idiot on Redskins Insider is like being called a thief by Albert Connell.

regarding Jordan Palmer - His brother is a pro-bowl quarterback. he was worth taking a chance on... it was only a 6th round pick for goodness sakes!

Twelve draft picks... that's just crazy talk!

Colt Brennan = Ty Detmer

I've come to the conclusion that the redskins problems over the last decade plus fall squarely on the shoulders of Jason la Canfora for mentioning the problems of the Redskins over the last decade plus.

If he'd only hailed like the Pollyann's, the redskins would be defending Superbowl champeens..

Way to get in the MV reference you a Montgomery County resident as well.

I particularly liked this construction in Jasno's post: "they project to 2.3 million fans or so in the first year of a brand new park with a team that is supposed to be on the upswing."

So, if a team is "supposed to be on the upswing" it doesn't matter whether they're any good or not. This team stinks. They've never been any good and the fan experience of going to a game has been terrible. The owner refuses to spend a nickel on a decent player (Daniel Snyder turned upside down). He's charging an arm and a leg for anything sold inside the stadium (Daniel Snyder, exactly). The team's play sucks. So why would anyone want to go out to watch them?

So, Jasno "has reservations about Washington being a baseball town." Duh. It isn't a baseball town. Major league baseball has ignored Wasington for fifty years. You have to go to a nursing home ("assisted living community") to find someone who has seen a major league game in the city limits. Washington has to be changed into a baseball town. And as near as I can tell the Lerners are going about it all wrong.

SKIPPY'S SMOCK DRAFT GUIDE FOR REDSKIMS

In the previous recent past, the Redskims have given away their draft picks for overpaid players who reinvented the word "Suckage."

This year they are overthrowning that tradition, and going back to squandering their picks themselfs.

 The Redskims, of who Skippy is a big fan, have nine draft picks this year to waste, so there is a lot of pressure on selecting exactly the wrong players to pick.

Fortunately, the Odor, Damn Snyder, and his Devoted Towelboy, Vinnie Cerratsosrizzo, get to make all the picks, so Skippy asks you--what could go right?



Skippy thinks the Redskims should continue their First Round tradition of drafting a receiver who can't catch anything more constipated than a cold. If he's available, Skippy suggests Lime-as$ Sweedish, the tall drink of water from the University of Dubya. He's 6 foot four, or four foot six, and has good hands but a bad wrist, injured in a tragic corsage accident.

Second round choice should either be a linebacker with a bad knee (a la Rocky Balboatosh) or a DT with a bad back like that guy with the bad back they drafted who name Skippy has mercifully forgotted.



There are two third round choices to be squattered, so Skippy recommends one be traded for a RB who can't run, Like T.J. Duckmeister, the other donated to the Red Cross. Otherwise it would just be some WR signed for an obscene amount of money he wont urn, like Brando Loins.



The lower round choices take care of themselfs. Skippy suggests a QB who'll later join his brother with the Bengals or a center with a smallish package.

Fondly,

skippy
AskSkippy.blogspot.com

Once again, the Nats will average at least 25,000-30,000 fans/game this year, and be considered a completely healthy franchise; the end of the school year is when attendance really increases for the Nats.

I bet the Lerners wish they had the Yankees and Red Sox fill their stadium multiple times a year with visiting team fans to boost their attendance like the O's.

Being called an idiot on Redskins Insider is redundant.

Being called an idiot on Redskins Insider is like being nominated for Arbor Day Grand Marshall by Dan Snyder.

Being called an idiot on Redskins Insider is accurate.

Seth, sorry, but Colt Brennan is not an ideal WCO QB. And his SAT scores were pretty low. If they draft him they should trade him straight away while his value is still high.

Just had to get a little jab in there.

talent evaluator: obviously you haven't read the paper recently. The Nationals have been in the Washington DC city limits since 2005. Welcome to reality.

I'd rather not have any news then if it isn't Redskins news. The whole point of this blog is to discuss Insider Info that he is supposed to have. How is he getting insider info if he is focusing on the CAPS and the NATS?

Completely missed the MATHIS signing...

Toady: Mathis signing made no sense. But its typical of what Vinny C thinks helps this team.

"The whole point of this blog is to discuss Insider Info that he is supposed to have"

Maybe originally...

Not sure I agree that the Mathis signing made no sense. Low-cost, low-expectations, not a lot of noise made about it. If they guy doesn't work out just cut him. Not lots of money invested in him.

It's not in the same ball park risk wise as signing T.O. or Moss.

So I don't have a problem with it.

The baseball season is 162 games long. Making any projections about player and team stats not to mention game attendance based on the first week is foolish. The leaves budding now will be falling before the season ends. Plus who cares the Redskins will be playing by then and we'll forget all about the Nationals.

You've been following this blog for a long time, haven't you, Toady?

I don't understand what the problem is. You don't have to read everything that he writes. He gives a pretty obvious disclaimer every time he goes off of the skins, and he still provides more "insider" updates than any other source I've seen. AND I'm pretty sure that any Redskins topic is willing to be discussed on this blog, so it's not like there's a bunch of random people with no skins/football interest. So once again, I don't really see what the problem is.

people who complain about non-football comments on this blog should hang out on Maske's blog. he blogs with news all the time, from all across the League. there are never non-football comments on Maske's blog. in fact, there are hardly ever any comments at all. this may work better for some of you who seem to hate this blog so much.

"Brennan has that moxie on the field that reminds some of Brett Favre, but it is his quick reads that sees him get the ball out instantly to his targets. He is a mobile passer whose scrambling keeps defenses honest, but lacks the size and certainly lacks the core strength you look for in a quarterback that can absorb punishment at the next level. In a spread or West Coast offense, Brennan is a nice fit."

http://www.collectiblestoday.com/ct/product/prdid-48172.jsp?redskins&endeca=true#

I am totally getting this!

I do go there for NFL inside info, but I am more interested in the Skins.

This is a Skins blog, or supposed to be. The negative comments, off topic rants, non-insider info don't make it very fun.

It use to be a good blog for finding stuff out. When was the last time you heard any news from inside redskins park reported here. It's always, "hot of the presses" stuff of the "skins just announced" wow very insider.

How bout getting an interview with Mathis? Finding out who the Skins plan to draft from credible sources... all speculation, we can all do that and do.

The comments here are log because folks like the Skins not because of who is doing to posting.

I could not agree more that it is not JLC that brings people here -- it is the fact that the Skins have tons of fans.

JLC wants you to think the Skins aren't that popular and he is the reason people come here.

Get a clue JLC -- your hating won't change the fact that the Skins have one of the top 5 largest fanbases in football.

Well he promised a glance and he delivered on his promise. 'The Redskins have a starter in Campbell, a backup in Collins and are going to draft a 3rd QB.'

I can do the RB for him and save his time..
'Clinton Portis is the starter, Ladell Betts is a decent backup but fumbles too much, Rock Cartwright is 3rd on the depth chart because nobody else wants him and he fumbles too much too. Mike Sellers is the FB.'

When there's no news, there's no news. Unless it's Foxnews.

Bwahahahhaa.

Ahh Froggy, wise man once say "come for news, stay for jibber jabber."

For the umpteenth time in forever, there is no news now. No one at the park will tell who they want to draft. No one is interested in hearing what Mathis has to say. Enjoy the draft when it comes along, if that's yo thing. but for now, cool off, chill out, hang loose, and relax.

toady, this whole blog has turned into a joke. first jason stops posting meaningful blogs. then they remove registration to increase the amount of rif-raf here. this place makes extremeskins look like an intellectual debate between plato and aristotle.

Being called an idiot on RI is like being called anti-Skins b/c you think The Owner and the EVP make dubious decisions.

talkshowhost, I'm pretty sure the reason they removed registration was to enable posting again after a 8 hour lock-up by Moveable Type ... the rif-raf increase is just one of those pleasant coincidences.

Skins would be foolish to draft a #3 QB. Take someone else's reject. They are always out there. Guys who are never good enogh to be full time starters, but can play enough to get you through some games. Look at the kid for SF, Shaun Hill (?). He was totally unknown, playing behind Smith and Dilfer, and was their best QB ... by far.

The other thing the Skins have if they need to go to a 3rd QB, is Randle El. He was a very good college QB and would be respected by his teammates. If the Skins are in a pinch for a QB in an important game, I'd use ARE over whoever is the clipboard guy.

No one is interested in hearing what Mathis has to say.

Posted by: | April 10, 2008 1:36 PM

Hey, speak for yourself, blogger with short name who writes like another blogger with a long name. I was interested in the Elfin column yesterday where Mathis said "This isn't my last chance. It's my only chance."

I like that attitude, although I'm too lazy to look the quote up and I may actually have just made it up. Still I'd like to have heard it from, say, Brandon Lloyd.

I'm in agreement that QB is one of the positions we have the fewest questions at. We're looking for someone who can be a decent #3 this year, nothing more. Why would we use a 1st day draft pick on that instead of the lines or the secondary? I think we could easilly bring in a vet minimum QB after the draft to help out until it's proven that we need a number 2 or starting qb. We could also find someone undrafted. Isn't Trent Dilfer available? He's someone who's been in the West Coast system and could be brought in to mentor Campbell on the cheap.

On another note, while I was completely against it at first, I'm liking the idea of trading Betts more and more if we're able to get something good for it. Seems like we've got plenty of young talent on the squad right now who could easilly take the #2 spot. The only concern is can any of them be a viable starter if Portis goes down?

Posted by: talkshowhost | April 10, 2008 1:29 PM

TSH, if Brennan is there in the 6th, we need to take him. At worst, we should be able to get back some value if we trade him. I read an article the other day (will try to find the link) where he put on 25lbs. I believe it was discussed on one of the threads here.

Sween's back in the "idiot game." Got bucked off the horse and picked himself up and got right back on it. I have to admire that spunky scrapper.

In general, very good entries today. The old spirit's coming back to the blog. It will be hard to pick a winner and Nate may want to buy drinks for everyone.

My only hang up on Colt B. is his character issues, which have also been discussed here. But I think he can/will be a good QB.

well said, Toady toady!

Colt Brennan would be a good fit for the Colts.

I say the team needs more characters. And if they get cut, they should blog with us.

TE, they would certainly fit the mo.

While Nate may be a nicer guy than some of the fake Nate and anti-Nate posts up here would imply, Nate may want to stave off the disturbing notion that he's going to pick up the bar tab for the meet-up. Nate's no P Diddy.

For any diet cola (w/saccharine) drinkers, I will pick up the Tab tab.

I will buy not dcsween a beer

talent evaluator, i agree with you on wanting mathis info, but i wanted to correct you on his quote. He actually said, "I'm not looking at Washington as a second chance. It's more like my last chance."

Normally, i'm not that picky, but i was very impressed with the quote.

the blank post about mathis was mine. i forgot to enter in my name....

so how was this moveable type person able to lock up the blog?

Did you watch any Hawaii games? I saw Brennan play a few times, by far the worst effort was in the BCS game where they got pounded. I think he is too small, he reminded be of Danny Woeffel a little bit. Good system qb in college, won't amount to much as a pro. Sorry for bringing up the former gator.

unregistered,

Nate can speak for himself, dude. He doesn't rely on an idiot (uh, make that surrogate) to do his bidding for him. If he weren't picking up the tab for all the winners, he'd come right out and say so himself. He's at least as generous as Sween who, for those at his table, has offered to pick up the table Tab tab.

I want to hear from Mathis as much as I want to sit next to dcsween in church when he's having his issues.

Love it, blogger-who-knows-not-his-name.

The blog is back! Great jibba-jabba up here today.

Okay this blog is just starting to break down into sillyness. Oh Cindy Where Art Thou. When will you bring stability and order back to the unwashed masses.

alex,

You say tomato and I say tomahto...

Cindy, What do you say?

I say its time for Wopner....

Talent evaluator is right. First time ever, but he's right. Sorry, Alex.

Looks like Don Banks is the next to have us take C. Campbell in the 1st round. Anybody else have real problems with this kid's seeming lack of motivation to stay in shape? Even if our new line coach taught him at Miami, I have a feeling this guy has bust written all over him.

Hey! Some of us masses have washed you know. At least recently anyway.

Since we're talking about the draft...

I like Marcus Monk from Arkansas and not just because he's a namesake. He's tall, had an excellent combine and for his size has decent speed (4.5). He's got an insane vertical (36in.) He'll probably be avialable early in the 5th where I think he'd be a steal.

tm,

I agree. He's got too manny issues. PLus he's named after a terrible car that was also too big and too slow.

Even if our new line coach taught him at Miami, I have a feeling this guy has bust written all over him.

Posted by: tmwilliams | April 10, 2008 2:23 PM

If this guy worked with him three years in Miami, I'd be willing to trust his judgement. He doesn't want the 'Skins to fail. And, he may not want the guy. Remember, Zorn didn't make much of an effort to get Hackett.

I say its time for Wopner....

Posted by: Greg(Boston) | April 10, 2008 2:18 PM

LMAO!
Actually though, it's five minutes to wopner. Yeah. UH-OH!!!!!!

Monk would be a good pick I'd say. I don't think he will slide all the way to 5 though.

2007: Underwent two surgeries on his right knee that would keep him on the sidelines for the first half of the season...On August 13th, Monk underwent an arthroscopy on his right knee to repair a small tear he suffered at practice on August 9th. He was initially diagnosed with a bone bruise after hurting his knee at practice. He underwent another surgical procedure on August 28th, having two pieces of cartilage had moved beneath the meniscus after his knee locked up on him during his rehabilitation, causing pain. "It was two loose bodies that had flaked off the articular cartilage that he had damaged before," Arkansas trainer Dean Weber said...Monk was also injured upon his return to the field, suffering a bruised calf vs. South Carolina...Started five of seven games he appeared in at split end, finishing fourth on the team with sixteen receptions for 144 yards (9.0 avg) and three touchdowns. 14 GP; 14 GS; Rec: 50-962-19.2-11 in '06. 11 GP; 11 GS; Rec: 35-476-13.6-7 in '05. 11 GP; 6 GS; Rec: 37-569-15.4-6 in '04.

Draft Scout Marcus Monk News
03/26/08 - "I want to let everybody know that I'm back," Monk said. "It's been a long, long year." Monk also improved his Combine numbers in the vertical and long jumps Tuesday. The Lepanto native had a 36-inch vertical jump and 10-foot-2 inch long jump at the UA's Pro Day, according to NFL. com. Monk performed well in position drills, cut well and had no stumbles or dropped passes. Jones also participated in wide receiver drills and dropped at least one pass that was thrown behind him in stride by former UA quarterback Clint Stoerner. Eighteen former Razorbacks participated in Arkansas' Pro Day and one player stuck out the most, ESPN NFL analyst Chris Mortensen observed. "Marcus Monk without question," Mortensen said. "... All of a sudden, there's a lot of buzz on him." Brandon Marcello, Northwest Arkansas Times

03/25/08 - Marcus Monk says his knee is just fine. His performance at Tuesday's pro day on the Arkansas campus seemed to back up that assessment. With approximately 50 NFL representatives on hand, Monk went through a solid workout that could help alleviate fears about the wide receiver's surgically repaired right knee. Statistics were not released at the workout, but NFL.com reported Monk with better-than expected numbers. He ran two 40-yard dash attempts in 4.43 and 4.41 seconds, plus a 36-inch vertical jump and 10-foot, 2-inch long jump. "It felt good," Monk said. "I want to show everybody I'm back." Beyond just putting up impressive numbers, Monk, 6-5, 215, looked sharp in agility drills and when running routes. Monk looked sharp when making his cuts. He had limited mobility and agility late in the season while attempting to come back from the injury he suffered in two-a-days. Monk played in nine games, but started only four. He contemplated going pro after catching 50 passes for 962 yards and 11 touchdowns as a junior, but elected to come back. - Chris Bahn, ArkansasSports360.com

The Line Coach was only at Miami for one year.

What's up with all this non-Skins crap in the blog posts.

I don't care if Jasno waxes poetic on soccer or 80's rock for a few lines, but that crap today was ridiculous. I come here for one sport only. Anything else makes me want to leave.

I cannot tell you how disappointed I will be if the Redskins draft Campbell with their first pick. Watching him run at the combine, I just got the feeling that he just wasn't much of an athlete.

NFL Scouts Decided Where Kelly Ran Not OU Staff
By ccmachine Section: Football
Posted on Thu Apr 10, 2008 at 01:22:09 PM EDT

Malcolm Kelly shocked over 30 NFL scouts and the entire Sooner Nation yesterday with a 40 time that some had clocked as low as 4.75. Afterwards Kelly voiced his displeasure with the OU coaching staff and the location of the workouts.

"This is my life. You know what I'm saying? This ain't no school. This ain't no classroom. This ain't got nothing to do with that. This has to do with me; my family. This is what I do. I play football. And I'm supposed to come out here and run as fast as I can."
"I already had everything set up for where I want to do it at," Kelly said. "I get out here and it's a whole different deal."

"People want to say surface is surface, but it's a lot more to it than that," Kelly said. "You have to think about how much ground time you have running on this mushy surface here and how much ground time you have on Astroturf.

"Just a little bit of time could mean a whole lot of draft money."

The thing that Kelly is failing to understand is that it was the NFL scouts, and not OU strength/conditioning coach Jerry Schmidt, who requested that the players run on the softer surface because "this is the surface that they run on" and that scouts could add fractions of a second to a 40-yard dash time if they perceive a track to be too fast.

"I told Malcolm it's up to him, wherever he wants to run," Schmidt said.

Now Malcolm Kelly must overcome the perception that he's lost a step as a result of his injury and the he's going to be a high maintenance type player who blames all his woes on someone else. He'll have a few private workouts with the Cincinnati Bengals, Minnesota Vikings, Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers and Washington Redskins before the draft to try to make up some ground.

PLus he's named after a terrible car that was also too big and too slow.

Someone needs to tell Vinny to cancel that visit after Kelly's outburst. A guy that quick to point the finger, and blame someone, no thanks.

Posted by: Plato348 | April 10, 2008 2:57 PM

But how can you follow if you are just "seeing" and not reading and further understanding that which you have read?

Greg, Kelly would have been better off not running. Now he falls in the draft, loses money and punks out and blames those who were not at fault.

Totally agree.

Eh man comeon openup it's me Dave

Not surprised to see your baltimore roots come out in your comments on DC baseball.

Baseball in DC is here to stay, Baltimorans need to get over their obsession with trying to prove baseball won't work here. Two games in April against the Marlins is not how to judge how baseball will succeed.

The Reds had about 14,000 earlier in the week. Is Cincy a good baseball town?

DC hasn't had a contending team since about 1934, and it will take a few wins to get people following the team. Mediocre attendance in April doesn't mean a darn thing. DC is no better or worse a baseball town than Baltimore, Philly, Cleveland, Cincy etc.

Kurz, the more I read what Kelly did, the more of a turd this guy has made himself out to be. I'm just glad he ran so poorly so that everyone could see his true self, rather than the Redskins drafting him, and it blowing up in their faces.

Exploding turd in the face ... nice imagery.

Sorry about that....wasn't my intent...

No to Kelly, no to Cialis, and no to Colt either, while I'm passing judgement.

Greg, where are you on the whole Bill Bruckner thing?

Okay I can accept a judgment if it comes from our just leaders. I am trying like heck to not go completely Baseball on the blog... and finding it near impossible. So here I go.

The Nats ain't leaving any time soon. I have to give them credit they at least seem to have a long term plan, and it has a shot at working. Faze one from as far as I can see is done, they grabbed some young prospect players who can be used as trade bate. Now they need to start looking to make trades at the end of this season for proven pitchers.

They will not be contenders for a few seasons. !Shocker! given the state of the team when they brought them here.

I have only seen this team make one truly dumb move and that was letting Soreano go like they did, moronic move. Other than that name one truly bad move they made? What tradable player did the Nats really have to let go of? What big name free agent would have made the difference?

Probably old news but I saw that Justin Gatlin the former Olympic sprinter worked out as a WR at Tennessee's pro day last month. They said he's a long shot but he's certainly fast, 4.45 and 4.42 in the 40. Wonder if he can catch, return punts?.

Now back to Football. So anyone else hear wish that we had an AFL team in DC to play at the MCI/Verizon/??? center like I do?

Gatlin could either be Willie Gault or Renaldo Nehemiah!!!

Long live Redskins Vendeta!!!

Now back to Football. So anyone else hear wish that we had an AFL team in DC to play at the MCI/Verizon/??? center like I do?

You may now excuse yourself from the blog, sir.

Also forgot, long live posting stories that have been posted for more then a month on Redskins.com of all places.

DC, oh I moved on from Buckner back a long time ago. I didn't blame him for the Sox losing the Series back in 86. Blame the Manager for not subbing Buck out like he had done in previous games, blame Bob Stanley for throwing that wild pitch, blame Calvin Shiraldi, but you can't blame Buckner. I thought what he had to endure was beyond awful.

So yeah, I'm way beyond Billy Buck. I just wonder if he's found it in himself to forgive what he was put through.

"Todd Collins proved last year that he is a pro's pro, merging the intellect and instincts no one disputed he possessed with a playing acumen previously unseen in more than a decade, given his eons between NFL starts."

What, are you trying out for the architecture critic opening?

This blog has become insane and less about football than I can remember. Therefore, I'm going to a friend's place to see if I can borrow a computer and then go home to write one of my papers while I nurse my upper respiratory infection (no internet access at home, too cheap). I really hope aristotle and plato can go away and have the 'skins discussion come back (eventually).

Dave who, man?

Being called an idiot on Redskins Insider is like biting into a York Peppermint Patty.

Being called an idiot on Redskins Insider is like saying "It's so easy a cave man can do it".

OK, so no to Kelly and Campbell. How about we go in a completely different direction and go with place kicker/punter in the first 2 rounds. That and a eunich center in the 3rd. If he's not already cut, we make it part of the off-season conditioning program...

LETS GO CAPS eh!!!

chill out a bit people...

OK ESPN are a bunch of morons. They regraded the 2005 draft and said the skins should've drafted Aaron Rodgers instead of JC. WTF. Based on what? One game the guy's played? Maybe Rodgers proves to be a better QB this year but it's just lame to call him a better QB than JC at this point.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft08/news/story?id=3329724

mtn, I think they're just saying that Rogers was higher on most peoples' draft boards at the time. Wasn't he supposed to be like a Top 10 pick? No way to know though how these things will really pan out.

Being called an idiot on Redskins Insider is like being called SuperSmart by Gibbs 2.0

I thought the point of the article was to regrade the 2005 draft based on how those players have panned out so far. Maybe Rodgers does become the better player but I don't think you should put him ahead of JC just based on potential - at least not for the purposes of that article.

Since the Redskins drafted JC with the 25th pick, one selection AFTER Rodgers was picked, does espn explain exactly how they should have selected an already drafted player? just askin'

Being called an idiot on Redskins Insider is like being called idiot on Redskins Insider, nothing else even comes close.

The only thing that bugs me about Jasno's post is that he sticks to the facts. The Redskins would like to draft a future number 2 QB.

There's no speculation about which draft prospects they might be interested in.

I'll take Soup over A Rodgers anyday. Guy seems soft to me. Plus, he's got bad hair and that just won't cut it with the Skins.

They reshuffled the players from that draft based on how they've panned out. For instance they have Shawne Merriman going #1 overall instead of Alex Smith. JC isn't even mentioned as first round material which to be fair isn't what bothered me. I just thought it was silly to say the skins should have drafted Rodgers ahead of JC when Rodgers has barely even played yet.

well obviously Campbell should have been drafted lower. he is widely known to be a mouth-breather with sub-moron level intelligence.

Oh no! You got chocolate in my peanutbutter!!!!!!!!!!!

ESPN are morons...its offseason they just want to rabblerouse.....who cares what they say....

Thats whats fun about sports...you can decide it on the field and argue about it over beers in a bar (blog?)

My clinical diagnosis is that, because people have their panties in a bunch about not getting their Sports Bottle (wa wa wa ... actually, its a special kind of Sports Bottle ... a Skins Bottle) from Jasno, they are "acting out" ... and taking out aggression on each other ... at least until someone mentions a football-related thing, at which point they snap right out of it ... no shorter attention span in professional sports fandom like the hamsters at RI.

6:00 PM, if by "regularly cited" you mean the repeat posts by poolman, I can't disagree.

chRIs LaRry, just wait, it gets better... in 2.5 weeks we'll be flooded with draft grades, those magical verdicts, those instant judgments, apparently based on projections of every single drafted player's entire NFL career. that's the stuff.

you think you're sooooo clever.

Campbell had a 3.5 GPA in college and won all-american scholar from what I can find.

And I never head the term meme, so i thought i would wiki it.

A meme (pronounced /miːm or mɛm/) consists of any unit of cultural information, such as a practice or idea, that gets transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another. Examples include thoughts, ideas, theories, practices, habits, songs, dances and moods and terms such as race, culture, and ethnicity.

I thought Meme was a pro basketball playa

QB looks like a solid position for the skins this year... definitely have #1 and #2 locked down well, and they have a couple of specific guys in mind that will probably shake out during/after draft day.

I think they should get Henne. He looked really cute in his college uniform, and I think he'd look great in maroon and yellow. And black.

I really appreciate the new posts. Even though there's not much information to be had, Jasno's ability to write about almost anything in an intelligent and enlightening style makes for a bright spot in the day!

Hey, I just got back from this Italian place I just have to tell you about.

Hey, I found this on a sports site I was reading at work...

I think that guy SETH.LEMASTER is way off base in his mock drafts.

Jason sure did with the nats in a WEEK. We've had 4 season of squat from Campbell.

Hockey is much more interesting live, and playoff hockey can get a little... tight. So take a shot on every power play.

Personally, I am sick to death of hearing about the Caps! I know this is bad and I do support my home team(s) but I just don't care for hockey.

While I am happy the Caps made the playoffs, Sportsnet has been talking about them AD NAUSEUM for weeks and it's just getting worse. The Wizards got very little love on Sportsnet today after beating the Celtics last night (for the 3rd time!) due to MORE talk about the Caps...and the Skins? They seem to have forgotten them (ok, I know it is the offseason and not much is going on).

The non-stop Capitals talk reminds me of last year when Cal Ripken was inducted into the Hall of Fame and we had to endure "30 Days of Cal" - it was actually called that - or something like it.

On the other hand, if Sportsnet was focusing on the Skins nonstop I would be totally cool (in fact ecstatic) with that.
