What are you, Radioactive Man?: "Up and AT THEM!"

CHRIS LARRY!!!

"You had me at Chris Larry."

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a Chris Larry."

So who did they cut to make room for Thomas?

Could somebody please WAKE Downtown Freddy Davis up please and have him sign his contract so he can be on time...

Alright,

now we are getting somewhere. Going to be a good year...damn

just spilled kool aid down my white shirt

Gotdammit! The chris larry jokes weren't funny today and they sure as hell aren't funny now.

Give it a rest now, please. I'm sure it's more than one deranged blogger so I'm talking to all the comic lacking bloggers continuing this incredibly lame joke.

Must. Die. Now.

What are you, Radioactive Man?: "Up and AT THEM!"

I hate it when I miss a day on the blog. Now I dont know the Chris Larry "situation"

A mesaage from Freddy for Freddy:

"One, two, Freddie's coming for you
three four, better lock your door
five six, grab your crucifix
seven eight gonna stay up late
nine ten, never sleep again...

You hear me Sleepy Davis? Nine TEN, NEVER SLEEP AGAIN!"

People need to get over this. Fred Davis made a mistake, put it behind him, and has moved on. He said that "Oversleeping was a real wake-up call for me."

"I've had my fill of overeating".

Welcome, Assclown.

Understanding he made a mistake, you would think that he would be eager to get the deal signed.

Ominous that he pulled the late thing and is the last to sign. Could be nothing, but could be something

sween boldly posted this weeks ago. For Thomas they cut Horace Gant. And when Fred Davis signs they're cutting Tyler Ecker.

WOOOHOOOO!
Now sign Davis, Danny boy!

It isn't something unless he's not signed when camp opens. Jasno says he's been out there working out and "is eager to report."

Game time. It's Redskins season again.

Davis unsigned before the top pick? I smell something fishy Lucy!

That's what I am talking about.

Maybe. lol

Redskins have ahad a pretty good track record of getting things done. They dont have a history of hold-outs (knocking on wood)

Good deal. Now all we need is Sleepy Fred and Brett Favre and we'll be good to go.

Sign Brett Favre and we're not "good to go" -- we're good as dead. What a mess that would create for this team, both short term and long term.

agreed

To make room for Thomas on the roster, the Redskins released fullback Pete Schmitt.

From Redskins.com

Second round picks are the value picks in the NFL. A lot of the players have first round ability and to get highest rated receiver and tight end for bonuses less than $3M each is a relative bargain.

Meh... we've seen worse things. This team has a lot of experience making short & long term messes for itself. It's what we do.

Lookin' forward now to the HOF game to see all these new guys in Redskins uniforms. 16 days and 6 hours to go. Seems like it's been forever.

So what's your point, Joe? That we should make one more mess?

Anyone have any info on the chances of Favre signing in D.C.?

Yeah. Zero.

Cowboys Romo has to shed playoff albatross

Ah, the playoffs. Superman had his kryptonite. Tony Romo has the playoffs. Did you know that during the three years that he started for Eastern Illinois, his team made it to the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs three times? It did, and on each of the three occasions, Eastern Illinois lost ... in the first round. Add the two first-round playoff defeats that he's had as Cowboys quarterback, and we sense either a horrible trend or some cosmic coincidence. The man has never won a playoff game in his life. Am I the only one that seems concerned about that? Granted, Romo threw for 4,211 yards and 36 touchdowns last season, both franchise records in a record book where Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, Danny White and Don Meredith are mentioned prominently.

-- Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Campbell is better than Romo.

If Davis does NOT sign in time, that would be strike number two. He's got to be smarter than that!

Good job by the front office, nicely done. Are there many other first, and second round picks getting deals done out there??

Greg,

NFL.com has a tracker for the first round deals but not for the second round. It shows only four first round picks have been signed:

http://www.nfl.com/draft/story?id=09000d5d808c2409&template=with-video&confirm=true

Still gonna hold my breath so that at least ONE of Thomas/Kelly (2nd/2nd) is able to avoid the fate of Taylor Jacobs (2nd), Cliff Russell (3rd), Gardner, Rod (1st) and/or Darnarian McCants (5th? 6th?).

No one cares about the Redskins - stick with college sports

Something tells me that the Skins who are least psyched about today's signing are Rock Cartwright and James Thrash:

"Thomas also established a [Big Ten] conference record in 2007 for kickoff return yards in a season with 1,135."

zero

Hey, what's wrong with Gardner? He had a respectable NFL career.....for a third rounder.

Schottenheimer took him one pick before the Jets chose Santana Moss. It wasn't the last straw, but it might have been the first.

And I think Cliff Russell cost us nothing. Washn't he taken with one of the picks that we got when we traded down, twice, and chose Patrick Ramsey? Ramsey and Spurrier -- what a match.

"Thomas also established a [Big Ten] conference record in 2007 for kickoff return yards in a season with 1,135."

Posted by: dcsween | July 18, 2008 1:43 PM

Was the record formerly held by our man Desmond Howard?

Thrash is in a battle with Anthony Mix. I hate to see either of those two guys lose.

Yet you took the time to post.

Howard only got 1 kickoff return per game. Devin got 1,135 one-yard returns...

That a boy Mike!

He's an evangelist sent by Jehovah's Witnesses to convert us heretics. Personally, I'm not buying it.

I think if the team goes with 6 WR, its Moss, ARE, Thomas, Kelly, Thrash, Mix.

You got the wrong Thomas Jasno.

Yeah, I'd hate to see Trash, I mean THrash go too.

jeepers creepers. Wait, I mean...

beep beep

Now way they're gonna have 6 WRs on a 53man roster......

This might be the worse sports blog I've ever read. I've never seen so many people fail at being funny for such an extended amount of time. Those Chris Larry comments are just brutal. Keep up the good work boys - you're an inspiration to all of those hacks out there grinding away at open mic night.

ALL HUMOR ASIDE, I SEE A REAL CHANCE OF GETTING TO THE NFC CHAMP. GAME AGAINST WHO OTHER THAN DA BOYS GOTTA LOVE JULY AND AUGUST TO THINK BIG NOW THE SKINS HAVE TO PLAY BIG

If only Fred Davis had the wake-up call beforehand, he wouldn't have overslept.

I got game.

Chris Larry, a little pitchy, dawg.

I spent a little time on youtube watching greatest hits reels of Devin Thomas and Malcom Kelly on College. I even brushed up on Davis a little.

My layman's view is that Kelly does better in the "althletic, over the middle, catch things that are behind me, rangy, possession type receiver" mold. Soupy should immediately get a better margin for error on his sometimes high throws to the sideline when he's in trouble from the rush. Thomas on the other hand seems to have sheer speed and some slippery moves and some vertical ability. A nice blend of downfield threat and red zone target ability. But not Antwaan Randle Elish, more a taller braod shouldered version of Santna Moss... speed with height and some strength to sheild DB's away from the ball. Bottom line....I am starting to take little sips of the cool-aid on this two WR thing.

Davis looks like he can rumble in the flat. Maybe not as nimble as Cooley, but something in between Chris and Sellars. Good hands, good body control. Hard to bring down, runs straight line with decent speed, but instead of running shoulder down overtop of a would be tackler, (Sellars style) might throw an evasive move in there and get another 10 or 15 yards.

If they stink it up later, (running bad routes or unable to adjust under the ball in the air like Santana, rookie mistakes etc. ) I can tell myself that I drank the Kool aid when it was hot outside.

Ben Wallace has the bell everytime he scores. I want an alarm clock sound everytime Davis gets a 1st down or TD.

Who's with me?

Great news on D. Thomas. About Fred Davis, he made this mistake, what in May? He learned from it. It's all good! Go 'Skins! Let's do this 2008 football season thang! Peace.

@ talent
just catching up...
flow like...Tupelo honey.

uhh what is this cat doing waking up late..looking like he's going to be a hold out hmmmm what a way to start ya career

Trade Davis for draft picks next year...he is a major problem waiting to happen. And the Skins dont need him....they need lineman and DBs more!

It's great we have Devin signed and ready to go because I feel we should have one of the deepest tandem of receivers in the NFL. And as for you idiots with all your sleeping Davis jokes, what are your 7 years old. He overslept 1 OTA practice in June, and your getting on him like he caught a DWI, DUI, or an assualt case or something. He wouldn't get on you for oversleeping your shift to McDonald's or the time your parents didn't wake you for your first day of work at WAWA, so lay off the guy. The Redskins are one of the handfull of teams in the NFL that do have good character in their players but you wanna beat one minor incident into the ground. It makes no sense. Grow the h*ll up and stop hating!!!

Here we go again, hype up the Redskins, tell us how good they will be, then let us down by post-season. Same ole story!!!

just wait till next year

you guys should really like devin thomas - watched him at msu all last year. previous msu coaching staff got fired for a reason - apparently not geniuses at putting the best talent on the field.

thomas used to be a running back, has good hands and can move, and he's strong as hell for a receiver. seems to have that (unteachable) knack for making plays. all season long it was obvious he was an nfl player among college kids. should be good :)
