RBs Mike Sellers and Rock Cartwright Speak To Athletes

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 06:43:31 -0500

Sorry Yardbarkers - Im back. Just in case you hadnt noticed, I have been participating and assisting with the Brian Mitchell Football camp that took place at George Mason University the past 3 days (5 days including Registration and Awards). The final actual practice day took place with the attendance of 2 fan favorites - Rock Cartwright and Mike Sellers. As part of the series of events, the players spoke to the children and encouraged them and took questions. As you would have it, the kids were....well - kids! Here are a few examples of what the kids asked: To Mike who went straight from high school to playing football in the pros: What college did YOU go to? To the 40 year old Brian Mitchell: Did you play football on color or black and white TV? To Cartwright: Have you ever been knocked out in a game? Gots to love the innocents of just 'asking questions'!! I dont know how many of you enjoyed the pictures and updates, but it has been a pleasure providing them! Click to view pictures.

Under the radar free agents that could help the Titans

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 20:23:14 -0500

As much as we dream of having a Randy Moss or even an Alge Crumpler in a Titans' uniform next season, their will also be lesser known free agents available that are more than capable of providing a positive impact on the Titans' 2008 season. Here is my list of under the radar free agents that could help the Titans next year.

Why do we Love Rock Cartwright?

Fri, 18 Jan 2008 04:55:48 -0500

So now, Rock Cartwright is going to test the free agent market. Undoubtably, the Redskins would love to have this guy back, and certainly will offer him a signing bonus that will be worth more than the $825 thousand that he was scheduled to earn in 2008. Thing is, if any team has been watching over the past 6 years, you have to think there will be some serious suitors out there for Cartwright.

The Fifth Quarter - Miami Dolphins

Mon, 10 Sep 2007 18:07:03 -0500

Shaun Suisham made a clutch kick in overtime that capped an ugly win by the Washington Redskins over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Ugly or not, however, the Redskins sit at 1–0, and if they continue to put away winnable games like they did yesterday, no one will complain – even if it isn't pretty. On to the Fifth Quarter rankings, which are based on a scale of 1 to 5 Quarters: For the rest, visit the link below...

Fifth Quarter: Jacksonville Jaguars

Fri, 31 Aug 2007 20:24:15 -0500

Surrounded by trade rumors, Mark Brunell played in Jacksonville for the first time since joining the Redskins, and on Thursday night he made his case for taking a spot on the final roster. The Jaguars struggled early against the Redskins, but a consistent passing attack and a solid defense by the Jags in the second half led to a blowout-like score of 31–14. The good news for Skins fans is that the first and second string players established a lead of 14–3 near the end of the first half, when the 3rd string defenders began to see the field. Overall, the Redskins looked good, and now fans have only a week and a half to wait for the start of the season. Here are the Fifth Quarter rankings, which are based on a scale of 1 to 5 Quarters: Click the link below for the rest...

Strengths and Weaknesses of the Skins Offence

Tue, 26 Jun 2007 00:04:35 -0500

QB's 1.Todd Collins: He could be a possible backup considering he has been with Al Saunders for the pass 6 years. 2.Mark Brunell: Although he is getting old he can always come in and rarely have a bad game. Last year he didnt do bad at all but he wasnt productive but I think hes a got the spot for the # 2 QB. 3.Casey Bramlet: Although no NFL experience, he won the Super Bowl in NFL Europa and he has set records at Wyoming, he reminds me of a Jeff Garcia. I think its between him and Todd Collins as the # 3 QB. 4.Jason Campbell: Took over halfway through the season due to Brunell not making it happen, I think he will be the number 1 QB, in 2004 took Auburn through a undefeated season and when he played last season for the Redskins he threw 10 tds. and only 6 int. Sure he didnt play like Tony Romo but he was consistent didnt really have any bad games, I see a good future for him with the skins. 5.Jordan Palmer: Brother of Carson Palmer, since theres so much talent at QB for the Redskins I dont think he will recieve a spot for the team but I think he will easily make the practice squad but who knows he is 13th in all Division 1 schools history books for throwing TDs, 88 to be exact with just 46 starts pretty darn good in my opinion. 6.Sam Hollenbach: A rookie prospect that played for Maryland, i dont have much to say about him sure he won MVP for his bowl game but other then that hes just a so so QB that wont last long in the NFL. Overall I would give the QB's rating a B RB's 1.Marcus Mason: Marcus was a star in AA ball with a school record of 23 TDs and 1,847 yards hes a possible prospect to make the skins line of backs. 2.Clinton Portis: Portis has achieved so much already in his career back to back 1,500 yards for his first two years only 2 other players have done that. Dispite that fact he was injured for most of the year last year I think he will be amazing this year possibly as good as LT, LJ, and Steven Jackson. 3.Rock Cartwright: Hes a good backup i really hope he makes the team considering he was our main return man last year and he knows the offence very well hes been there for 5 years and probably will be his 6 year this year. 4.Ladell Betts: He will be the number 2 back without a question, great hands and took over last year when Portis was injured. 5.Derrick Blaylock: He could be a possible backup considering in 2004 he had 8 TDs and 539 yards. Overall the RBs are a A WR's 1.James Thrash: Joe Gibbs loves him he will be a reserve back and since he was 2nd in tackles for special teams he will probably start there as well. 2.Jason Willis: Was a walk on for Orgeon but did remarkably well but I have a feeling since they have so many talented backs that he will get cut. Unless he shows amazing skills in pre season. 3.Mike Espy: I like him, he could be a part of the special teams and get a few catches has great hands. 4.Ryan Hoag: I think he will be apart of the practice squad but wont play any real games. 5.Carl Berman: Im not sure if he will make the practice squad or not, hes a question mark in my view. 6.Cedric Bonner: Possible but not much of a chance for him to make it in my opinion considering his past. 7.Kyle Brown: He shouldnt even make the practice squad in my opinion. 8.Jason McAddley: I think he could possible be a reserve that could get some receptions. 9.Santana Moss: No question about it hes the # 1 reciever they got, amazing player but needs to be a bit more consistent or they just need a QB that loves to throw it to him, because he needs the ball. 10.Brandon Lloyd: He was a # 1 reciever for the 49ers..I think its a guarantee for him to make the team as the # 3 reciever. 11.Dan Melendez: Cut thats all I have to say. 12.Antwaan Randle El: He is a amazing reciever and returner he will have the number 2 spot. The overall rating for the WR's would be A- have 2 good ones and 1 decent FB's 1.Pete Schmitt: Decent Full Back that could be a possible starter, as long as he can play like he did in college. 2.Mike Sellers: Hes been with the organization for a while I think he will be the starter but who knows. Overall for FB's is a B- but FB's dont have too much say on whether they go to the playoffs or not. TE's 1.Brian Bell: Practice team but no more as of this year I think. 2.Tyler Ecker: Same as above. 3.Eric Edwards: I like him he will make the depth chart. 4.Chris Cooley: One of the best in the game as of right now and led in receptions last year for the skins. 5.Todd Yoder: Hes a Solid backup he will make the team. Overall for TE's id like to say A OL 1.Casey Rabach: Starter 2 seasons straight played all games as Center and can also play guard if he needs to. 2.Randy Thomas: He started all year last year and will this year, very strong guy. 3.Chris Samuels: Him and Jansen are the best duo in my book and he started all 16 games last season. 4.Jon Jansen: Him and Samuels are the best duo thats all I got to say and he started all 15 games last year. 5.Calvin Armstrong: A solid backup to Thomas and Jansen. 6.Stephon Heyer: Started for the Terps 37 games I think he could emerge as one of the backup's. 7.Ethan Albright: The best Long Snapper in the game alot of experience hes got a automatic spot on the team. 8.Jason Fabini: Hes got skills I think he will easily be part of the team. 9.Kili Lefotu: Great size he will be a backup most likely. 10.Mike Pucillo: Good backup for Guard and Center so I think he will make the team. 11.Ross Tucker: I think its between him and Mike Pucillo for backup spot for Center maybe both will make it. 12.Todd Wade: Played one game last year for injured Jansen possible backup. 13.Taylor Whitley: I think he has a shot of making the team but in reality all of them do. 14.Will Whitticker: started 14 games for the Packers he should make the team because hes young and a quick learner. Overall the O Line is unstoppable I think one of the best so I give it a A+ Overall the whole offence as a team they will put up alot of points and will be one of the best offences this year.
