Washington Redskins Camp Journal with Robert Henson - Day 2

I know I promised that Robert Henson would be posting these himself going forward, but his account is in our famous 24-hour lockdown (a measure put in place to help us weed out the spammers with a decent amount of success). Day two of mini-camp had a lot of storylines that we all have heard a lot about already. Here is # 58's take on yesterday:

Star-divide

Day #2 of mini-camp was a lot better because we actually got on the field to practice. And of course the press lined up to get a quote from anybody that was willing to field a question about Albert Haynesworth. We took to the field and normally neither offense nor defense talks crap to each other but for some reason today was a day to run your mouth. It seemed to work for us on the defensive side, as the offense continued to jump offsides and the quarterback-to-center exchange was not working at all. For the fans who are already shaking their heads in fear of more offensive woes, you can relax-this zone blocking running attack combined with the play action is a monster. It is very difficult for even our top defenders. The addition of "5" (our nickname for McNabb) frustrates us even more. The guy has a unique ability to sell the play action, and seems to be even more accurate on the run. Another element of his game that is a big change for this team is the decision making. He throws the ball away or runs if everyone is covered. As most of you know in the past................ahhhhh, who cares about the past, this Redskins team will not disappoint. There is something special going on here and I think most everyone will be happy with the results!!

On another note Trent Williams looks like a man possessed, and in my opinion, him going against my boy Orakpo is giving him a crash course on what to expect from Demarcus Ware in week 1. After practice we had some Famous Dave's BBQ and mingled with Redskins Alumni, great guys that know all about success and what it takes to bring the Lombardi trophy to Redskins Park.

I want to address the Twitter incident/comments just for a second. I, Robert Henson, never told all the fans they work at McDonalds or to go back to work at McDonalds. I hate the fact that I even posted any of it, but my comments after the first tweet were aimed at one person-not at the city. I have learned a valuable lesson. I hope to see every one of you at training camp. We need your support as get ready for the Cowboys. We owe them not 1 but 2!! HTTR

Just so everyone knows

Rob tried to comment on yesterday’s post but his account was frozen for the initial 24 hours so he could not. I blame Kevin…and Al-Qaeda.

Rob

There seems to be a big hole at RDE with Haynesworth gone. Can Kendric and Vonnie really hold that right side all year? They don’t seem to have the size to do so, especially compared to the size on the Left Side with Phillip and Adam.

Right DE

Kedric and Vonnie look good out there, as you may know Kedric can run for a guy his size and is very strong at the point of attack. Vonnie’s experience shows up all the time as is in position to make plays when they run his way.

Hey Rob

I was just wondering what guys, and more specifically you, do between OTA’s and Camp. Do you see each other? Or just go your separate ways. Thanks!!

It seems we always run into each other when we are out, whether here or in DC! When we see each other it’s always like seeing family and we treat each other that way! Lately bowling seems to be the thing to do.

Good quote from McNabb out of camp.
“We worked and pushed each other,” McNabb said. "What we try to do is complement each other in workouts, in the locker room, wherever it may be. We want to be very supportive of what everyone is doing, whether it’s charity work or anything else. That builds a bond, that builds a closeness in the locker room.

I like it.

Opener against DallASS

Season ticket holders need to show. Don’t sell or give away your seats because you have to get up early. Let’s give DallASS an earful.

I enjoy these posts Rob

As for the Twitter thing I wouldn’t sweat it. I personally couldn’t care less and like that you have competitive fire. Keep up the good work and good luck.

Thanks a lot!! That’s one thing that I believe this city and this team has in common everyone is passionate and will got that extra mile to make opponents fear playing us!!

That was one thing I noticed from last year

Not only did our opponents not fear us, they didn’t respect us, either. The Giants just laughed in our faces. I hope you guys feed off of that and turn the tables, especially in our division.
