Ask a Redskin: 3 Random, Tough Questions and Their Replies

August 8, 2009: Carlos Rogers with his daughter after practice Fan Appreciation Day.

Fan Appreciation Day was this past weekend, and given the light mood after practice, I thought it'd be fun to ask the players non football related questions for a change. First things first, the offensive line did look better. The quarterbacks did not throw well, which was disappointing, but there was only a few number of sacks and the QBs did have time to throw the ball. Coach Zorn in his intro speech raved of Hunter Smith. I clocked his last 5 punts, which had the hang-times: 4.05, 4.39, 4.18, 4.81, and 5.?. (I received a text message as I was clocking the last punt, but it was a massive 60-yard punt that was well over 5 seconds). When asked in the post-practice interview about Hunter, Zorn said that when Hunter the Punter misses a kick, it's still in the 4+ seconds range versus last year where the punters mis-kicks were in the 3.1 and 3.2 seconds range. That certainly is a huge difference and should go a long way for field battle positions. Anthony Alridge and Byron Westbrook were getting time as the punt runners on my side of the field.  

I spoke with Renaldo Wynn about the offensive line, and he had this to say:

The key is how they gel together. It's like the Giants' offensive line. They're not the most talented, but they work together. If we can get these guys to pull together and come together as a unit, I think they can be pretty great. Keep guys healthy number two. That was a huge problem last year. Chris Samuels, Randy Thomas, Jon Jansen were hurt. Most of the guys in there were battling some type of injury.    

That seems fair enough to me. Let's see how they do Thursday before completely throwing them under the bus. I also asked several of the players who of the young guys are standing out most in camp. Jeremy Jarmon is in the huge lead (Orakpo is already a given at this point).

Wynn:  "Jeremy Jarmon. Edwinn Williams, the center from MD. He's having a heck of a camp."
Portis:  "[Marques ]Hagans at receiver. [Robert ] Agnone. Fred Davis...I think he's had the best camp out of anyone."
Randle-El:  "Marko Mitchell, Trent Shelton, and that cat we got in the supplemental draft Jeremy Jarmon. He's nasty."
London Fletcher:  "Reed Doughty looks good."
Todd Yoder:  "Orakpo. He is strong as a bull and fast. I'm expecting big things out of him...he's got great strength for his size and a real quick first step.

As of right now it is looking like Jeremy Jarmon was a STEAL with next year's 3rd round pick...not to mention the added benefit that we get having Jarmon on the roster this year. I don't see how he doesn't make the 53-man roster.

So onto the fun questions. I asked the following questions to 17 players (and Dan Steinberg):

1.) If Hollywood was making a movie of your life, who would you want to play you?
2.) Who would you rather spend a weekend in Vegas with: Shaun Suisham or Ethan Albright?
3.) Who would win a QB accuracy contest today: Zorn or Brunell? 

Can you guess for #1 who picked Johnny Drama and who Fred Smoot and Jim Zorn picked? Answers after the jump...

Star-divide

 

I think it'd be close. I honestly can't give away either one. They're both friends. Brunell is probably a little less rusty so I'll go with him."

Ya right

Two players picked that monster with the crazy eyes.
And good on Zorn for saying he doesn’t want to party with either of his players. Haha.

ummm that would be

Eric LaSalle, formerly of ER fame?

I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....

you are correct

I'm to young to Die Danny...don't make me do it tomorrow....

It was a fun day...

B/c players really struggled with the first question. There was probably an average of a 5-10 second pause while they thought about it. (props to Sugar for coming up w/ that one)

by KevinE on Aug 10, 2009 12:23 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

wonder why no one picked

Michael Clarke Duncan?

I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....

I asked Chris Samuels about that...

The Green Mile guy…he stuck with Deebo

Hilarious

lmao @ Carlos Rogers picking Smoot
and at Jim Zorn’s reaction to the question… said it like it’s the only good question he’s gotten all summer

yea

I always thought JC was a ringer for LaSalle.

Of course Zorn had to give the longest answer.

How did he react when you asked if he was more accurate than brunell?

by snowburnt on Aug 10, 2009 3:26 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I didn't get that question in...I did ask him this tho.

Kevin: If there was one question you could be guaranteed never to be asked again, which one would it be?
Zorn: (laughs…looks at me about to talk, then looks down at my recorder…keeps grinning and turns back to an autograph seeker)
Kevin: Yea, it’s safe to say what your answer would be.

He then went into the facility.

by KevinE on Aug 10, 2009 3:31 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

haha, no

He was really stumped by the first question and complimented it. He was in a good mood and his jolly ole self.
