Open Thread: Live Coverage from Redskins Park

by Kevin Ewoldt on Aug 8, 2009 11:53 AM EDT in Open Threads

I'm at Redskins Park now. The cheerlaeders and ESPNDeportes are here, so that means scrimmage time. It's the last practice open to the public. I'll be down on the field twittering and calling Sugar with updates, which he'll add to the post and/or comments.

Not expected to participate in scrimmage: Clinton Portis, Haynesworth, Moss, Devin Thomas, Randy Thomas, Cornelius Griffin, Phillip Daniels, Carlos Rogers, Mike Williams, and Heyer (questionable).

Marching Band at 12:15 PM

Cheerleaders at 12:30 PM

Zorn address the crowd 1:10 PM

Scrimmage at 2:00 PM

Redskins will be keeping stats on the scrimmage. Any guesses who will be the breakout player today? I'm guessing either Colt or Marcus Mason.

Update from Kevin

Zorn is addressing the crowd and I can hear him over the phone talking about how important it is to beat the Cowboys.

Next all I can hear is, “HIP, HIP…”
And then the crowd noise drowned out Kevin and the conversation was over.

He did say that JC would face the second team defense in the scrimmage this afternoon and that Colt would face off with the 1st string D.
So JC better look sharp, right?
And Colt better not get killed.

Scrimmage Update

JC started out rocky, stalling on one drive and throwing a pickle on another, but he has since led his unit to the end zone.

Colt has not looked sharp at all it seems, fumbling in the pocket and Kevin says he was not looking impressive.

Hunter the Punter hung some pretty decent hangtimes out there, in the mid-4’s, finishing with a boomer that topped 5 seconds of hangtime.

“We Want Chase!” chants could be heard as Chase Daniels scrambled for a score.

As Kevin is telling me how uninspired Todd Collins’ play has been thus far, he connects with Todd Yoder on a perfect pass for a score.

I am most interested in Marko Mitchell today. He has been getting a lot of passes and has looked decent. Highlight for him so far has been a little extracurricular shoving and jawing with Smoot after one play.

Finally, Rayner was apparently drilling 55-57 yarders down the middle. Suisham was hearing it pretty good from the fans.

I didn’t realize Suisham was even still around.

in god’s name, why?! Rayner, the job is yours buddy!

kick

after talking to Suisham and Hunter Smith….the holder makes a huge difference. No matter who wins the kicking battle….its going to be a lot better.

interviews

Its a wrap here in practice. Got through with no injuries. Jeremy Bridges was down for a couple minutes but walked off on his own speed. Anthony Alridge impressed,but fumbled on one play. Rock Cartwright looked real good as well. I’ll post the entire play-by-play results shorty. I have video from every play as well I need to sort through. After practice I asked about half the team these 3 questions
1.) If Hollywood made a movie about your life,who would star as you?
2.) Who would you rather spend a weekend in Vegas with … Suisham or Albright. I actually asked Suisham this question and he wasn’t too thrilled.
3.) Who would win in a QB accuracy contest today…Brunell or Zorn.

Stay tuned.
