Da’Ron Payne and Derrius Guice Press Conference
by Steve Thomas
April 29, 2018
This was the Redskins Draft Day introductory press conference by the team’s first round pick, DT Da’Ron Payne and the second round pick, RB Derrius Guice, as filmed by The Hog Sty’s Jamual Forrest. We’ll have more coverage of Draft Day here soon.
New post…

I could use a fresh turkey. One that hasn’t been brined.
Damn right you could, a freakin’ half gallon
Returned from the camp last evening. It’s certainly spring here! Not so much up there, the red maple’s are just starting to bloom up there. Trout fishing good; plenty of Tom’s around, got some good scouting in. Going after ’em next weekend.
Damn, Virginia is wide open. Gobblers goin’ down.
That sounds fowl
Thunder Chicken
Yeah, PA opened on Sat. 4/28 but I didn’t hunt. Saw 5 different bearded birds, 2 nice Tom’s and 3 jakes. Gobbling all over the woods too.
I bet that’s awesome at daylight.
Who cooks for me
Who cooks for you…………..CAWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHH!
LOL, yeah, a couple of Barred owls nearby the camp too. The Tom’s respond to that almost every time.
Enjoy it brother, you earned it. I’m still pullin’ that grade.
Turkey’s for drinking
You wouldn’t say that if you ate a jalapeno turkey nugget.
Is that a thing? I’ll take 12!
Happy Monday!
Hpy Hpy
Back at ya, 65!
heyo
Mornin’, folks. What’s the general consensus on the draft? I love it we got Payne and Settle. Nice trade down, still ended up with the RB they wanted.
Great…and Stroman
Yes! Apke has a ton of potential too.
I think it’s a good draft. If they felt they needed a Guard that bad, they’d have drafted one. This was obviously a PON draft. I’ll go with that until it doesn’t work.
Bet we still snag one, there will be plenty of cuts coming up especially once camps begin.
Sure. I agree. How will the line’s weaknesses change with a different QB under center, they could shift some.
I heard that I think it’s the worst damn draft in the history of worst damn drafts.
Shall I book that?
I wouldn’t. Not unless you need something on the side for every time someone puts words in my mouth.
That just sounds foul.
No, I was there for the entire run, I know where you got sour, and I know which picks you like.
You know how on a radio tuner stack, the discs can get loose, makes tuning in to a specific frequency almost impossible? It’s kinda like that, needs a shim.
Though I did read that Gerron Christian has immense upside. And the fact that he gets to learn for a few years before he’s asked to play a significant role….that’s why it maybe a good pick. They couldn’t pass up his upside. I remember Moses was a 3rd rounder too.
Speaking of drafting a guard, what happened to gft? She made a post about getting a guard, but it poofed. Haven’t seen here since.
Alex hung over this morning?
From what I’ve read from people who cover the draft on a National, not local level…the pick people seem to like the best is Tim Settle. I’ve seen the 3rd round Tackle as the pick they poo poo the most. The 7th Round CB Strohman is also one they like.
I don’t poo poo Christian. But damn…I would have gone guard. Not tackle. Until and or unless someone asks the organization, that pick looks as if it was made because of injuries last year to TWill and Moses.
And that’s just…well, don’t do it in the 3rd round is what it is.
I want one of those chairs
If I’m keeping 6 guys on the D-line then I’m going young.
Allen
Payne
Settle
Ioannidis
Lanier
I’m keeping McClain only because his dead cap hit is 7mil.

It would be dumb to cut McClain this year, unfortunately. His 2018 salary is fully guaranteed. Cut him next year and draft another DT.
wrong again! suprising huh
According to Keim the player agreed to remove the full guarantee of the 2018 salary and change it to an injury-only guarantee back in March at the deadline.

I went ahead and modified my cap table to reflect the change in McClain’s guarantee, because there’ve been multiple sources confirming what Keim originally reported. McClain can be cut – see our cap chart.
So….send him off to wherever it is that old cowturds go to die.
Did not know this thanks
Stacy McGee actually played well. No reason to cut him at all.
Package deal
Imagine…one of those young defensive lines like the rich neighbors always had.
You used to not care about dead money.

I doubt that.
Speaking of cults… Has anyone watched Wild, Wild Country on Netflix? About the Rajneesh cult that took over the town of Antelope, Oregon (about 75 miles from where I live.) Crazy stuff! Good show but doesn’t really give you a sense of why people joined the cult.
Seen it. Crazy stuff that I really wasn’t aware of but you’re right, they never made it clear what was so appealing about the Rajneesh
I passed through Antelope last year. Hasn’t really changed in 30 odd years.
I have no idea who Michelle Wolfe is. Apparently though, she’s ruffled some feathers at the White House Corespondents Dinner last night.
I only know her from her “correspondent” spots on the Daily Show.
I’ve resisted looking her up. I’m certain that whatever I find, I won’t be interested in.
Mormons, the LDS church….check all the boxes of being a cult.
Mostly nice people. Many doing good works. But still…they’re members of a cult.
Which boxes are those?
http://www.csj.org/infoserv_cult101/checklis.htm
So… according to this the Democratic party is a cult
According to the technical defintion and anthropology. It’s a cult.
Democratic party…lol….huh?
I thought you’d giggle at that
How is it a cult any more than any other religion? It’s just a lot more recent.
That’s true.
Religion is, old.
One day…with enough time. Mormonism, like Catholicism before it, will be considered a religion.
For the time though, they’re still carrying their status as a cult.
Yep. Hell, back in the day (Roman times) Christianity was considered a cult.
The main difference, obviously, being that in your page you cited the “cult” demands adherance to ONLY their laws and not any other laws. Most tenants of Christianity (and I only use this religion as an example because I am actually familiar) ask that you obey the laws of the government.
The difference is….age.
You can start a new religion. Call it a religion. Tell your followers that it is a religion. But no, it will be a cult.
Gotta cook that stuff for several hundred years and give birth to a crap-ton of generations before you get to be a religion.
Well I would disagree. I think it’s the intentions that matters. But I tend to stay out of religious theory debates here… for obvious reasons.
This is the kind of stuff you get on WaPo Insider:

If the press interviews are accurate nether of them can hold a one word conversation. So kept it simple for them and use plenty of picture’s. Either way they are both gone in two seasons.
i’m spared . the comments won’t load for me anyhow .
Seriously Buck.. switch to Chrome. I held out, too, but the switch has been a real eye opener.
Also get CCleaner on your machine and use it once a week. It’s freeware
I will . tired as hell.. Calling it a day . Later
See ya…
I second CCleaner.
But go Firefox. It uses less of your craptop’s resources.
…or that.
Better yet, switch to Linux Mint or some other Linux distro and not worry about that CCleaner nonsense. 🙂
going to go read the new Sandford Prey book
Lucas Davenport is one of my favorite “book” characters
see y’all tomorrow
Good series. I like the Flowers books too.
watching LivePD from last night
S: I’m under arrest?
P: Yes
S: Read read my rights!
P: I’m not going to question you, so I don’t have to read your rights.
S: Yes you do
P: No I don’t, it’s not required
S: OK then, I am un-arrested, take the cuffs off me
P: No, we’re not going to do that
S: This is an illegal arrest
so people have no clue about the law and police procedures
It’s better if they don’t read you your rights.
only if you make incriminating statements about what you did
How will them reading you your rights benefit you beyond the information contained in them, if you were not aware of them? If I make no statement whatsoever, except my name, or not even that, how does them reading me my rights benefit me?
No….. matter……what.
Scientology has it’s own network?
yes because they can’t watch regular TV because it’s suppressive
SO what is it… one long ass infomercial?
Looping Mission Impossible movies
that would be my guess
and Travolta/Cruise movies
A few
MGM
Pixar
Disney
Warner Bros
Ect.
They have their own everything.
So they’re the second coming of the Mormons…
Or the Amish
With more liquid assets
…and less integrity
…although the Mormons are more flush with money I’d bet
Both resemble cults to me .
I bash Walter for his criticism of religion, because what he does is wrong, so I’m going to refrain from giving my thought on Scientology here.
it’s not a religion, it’s a cult
I agree.
I don’t know much about Scientology… the others don’t much resemble cults
It is entirely derived from the book Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard.
I do know that… but I never read it so…
I’ve known some Mormons , like the neighbor for example . Ima follow Steve and take the high road . I have my opinions on it based on what I have seen . Maybe that’s wrong IDK
My first wife was a Mormon… I don’t see it as cultish. But I didn’t study it all that much either.
I don’t think Mormonism is a cult.
They just believe in another “prophet” or son of God that came after Jesus here in the US
I’m kinda judging the whole thing on my neighbor whose a sick bastard . That’s not the right thing to do . Guy goes to church 5 times a week and made the statement , every girls first sexual experience should be with their father . Not exactly taking the high road .
I think that’s more a personal thing not a Mormon thing…
Probably . The guy is a sick piece of shit . He has 3 daughters too .
That’s scary… I feel sorry for those girls
They all left home when they turned eighteen . They didn’t stick around
Did you know this before they left home? should have called DSS
I know quite a few Amish from my Ohio days and all the fishing I do in the middle of nowhere Michigan. Great people, honest and hardworking. Very serious people though. When they crack a joke you almost don’t believe they did it. Often very hard to understand when they speak
Yeah, I guess they do have a more conventional hold on power.
An example may be young money/old money.
I know they have huge warehouses in Utah, crammed full of supplies. Local government is Mormon controlled, police, ect. Salt Lake and Provo are something else.
Mitt
Romney
Of course, the grand poobah
Scientology has about $2B in assets of which $1.5B is in real estate holdings
they bring in about $15M in cash each month
tax exempt status too I think . That has been an issue with them
they are the only group to intimidate the IRS into granting the a tax exempt status
I updated the roster to reflect the drafted rookies, but not the rumored UDFA signings. The Redskins usually send out a press release late Monday with the names, and we’ll update it based on that. The list floating around most likely contains both signings and just camp invites, meaning, it isn’t totally accurate.
They’re mostly a reach to make a spot and camp bodies anyway
Yeah, but we pride outselves in putting out the most accurate information. Other outlets can crush us via time and resources, but not quality.
I have 80 on the roster right now, by the way, including the draft choices.
So… that doesn’t include the rumored UDFA’s?
No, the 80 does not include the rumored UDFAs.
Gotcha
you guys blow away the other Redskins sites
Yes, that proves your point, Steve. 80 on roster only leaves 13 UDFA’s. Is the roster 93? or 90? Anyway, there are either 15 or 16 on the UDFA list. So not all of them can be signed.
…or bottom enders will be cut to make room.
We are always shuffling the roster
Only some will be actually signed. The official list is always shorter. He recorded the show today and went over the entire list, though. The RB from Grambling and the TE are who caught my attention.
if you get a Publix in your area two things to try from the deli are
1. Fried Chicken
2. Publix subs
and Publix store brand chocolate milk is the best
Trey Quinn:
“There’s a big chip on my shoulder, and you’ll see it on me, but I’m excited,” he said. “I’m excited to be a part of an organization, and after a long day, I’m kind of stressed out. I’m just excited to be a part of the Skins and go dominate a little bit.”
Is there a more overused draft bromide than, “I have a chip on my shoulder?” The commish should pass out chips when he reads off the names because they all have’em, including No. 1 pick Baker Mayfield.
What’s anybody’s theory on Hamilton, Teams Captain next year? Competing with Spaight/Vigil/Carter? for backup?
Carter is gone I thought .
I haven’t paid attention.
I liked Vigil . He was in a tough spot , thrown to the wolves . did well I thought
Yea… he fit in just fine
Yeah, much better instincts, wants to play
NOILRMOT BC!
🙂
Well, it rhymes
I think they look at Hamilton as a future starter if he can stay healthy. He’s a bright guy, clearly.
Aye
sounds like a couple bad-luck injuries, hopefully not enough to keep him down. think he can at least be in the ILB rotation and contribute well on ST’s if he remains healthy.
Yeah, seems like he gets down hill in a hurry, stays clean. (Something Spaight and Compton struggled with) Vigil stays pretty clean.
DPayne’ll help with that
Looked like he made good reads and got moving to the football.
Spaight is either laying the wood to somebody or totally blown out of the play it seems . Hard to get a handle on that guy .
He showed up in camp last year looking ferocious . He was all jacked up physically .
Hitter.
He runs into traffic more than I’d hoped he would at this level. Getting better, and not a weeblewobble like Compton was.
He definitely get’s caught up in the trash. Overruns a lot of plays too. But when he’s on he typically brings the wood
That’s how he was at Arkansas, 130 tackles or some stupid shit like that. Lead the SEC

That’s freakn great then .
I wonder why he agreed to that ? He’s history then .
You’ve been sittin’ on that trap for a few days, lol
That’s right, I forgot about that. Checked Spotrac but they still list it as fully guaranteed.
NOILRMOT DC!
That should make it a done deal . No reason to bring him back now . McGee was the better of the two , which isn’t saying much.
Headed down that lonesome trail…..
what they ever saw in him that warranted that kind of money , i’m sure IDK .
No sir, me either
Yea… dumb. Pure dumb
I went ahead and modified my cap table to reflect the change in McClain’s guarantee, because there’ve been multiple sources confirming what Keim originally reported. McClain can be cut – see our cap chart.
Can or will?
Can. Prior to his change in his guarantee, he couldn’t.
I would venture to guess… “will.”
Haha, that reminds me of ‘Forged by Fire’
Bruce, your blade will cut

Tell us more about Greg Stroman.
Tell us more about Guice. How many fumbles career/last year?
I know, I’m being lazy.
Looks like Barnwood Builders is on Buck
[inhales deeply]
Wow, smells so much better in here now!
Only pussies put someone on ignore and then take shots at them…
Coward
ya’ll gonna get banned . Might want to chill , just saying . Steve …you know
I wasn’t taking shot’s at anyone’s mother…
That’s what we got banned for last time. I would expect D_C gets hit again.
ok . I’m gonna delete . Don’t want to draw attention .
I wouldn’t worry about it Buck.
Right, massive deleting below, post haste. Don’t fucking make us have to go to TI to holler at you.
Ok . The hell with you guys .
That’s the spirit Buck!
Haha, ffw 24 hours, TI: bigbuck64 – man, I feel like we had a decent draft, really can’t wait till we start seeing what the plan with the OLine is…
JerkderckleDNC – FIRE SNYDER! I don’t even know who any of these guys are!!!! We didn’t even draft Barkley, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Is this real?
In my mind, yes.
HA HA
jerkderckleDNC, lol
This user is blocked said something intelligent?
Hahaha
Your wife brought home Massengill?
Ouch
shame on you…..lol
? Did you think I was egging him on
Noooooooooooo
Lol
I grilled burgers and dogs for thirty people today . I’m tired and I guess the hamburger grease built up pretty good. Had a grill fire more or less , never happened before . Cut the gas off and it kept going until I finally poured water on it . Black smoke was pouring out and the heat was starting to get right . Fortunately for me that was on the last batch of dogs .
Yikes… careful pouring water on a grease fire my friend. Sounds like you might have had fun though
I know . I was getting a little nervous tell you the truth . The heat on my vinyl siding , etc. It wouldn’t go out so I reacted with water and somebody’s beer . That grill is going to need some attention before I use it again.
Just pull the cover down or the lid or whatever you call it
I tried that too but I probably didn’t leave it shut long enough . It was real windy and air was still getting in through the gaps in the sides .
Check your grease trap.
That was the problem . All that hamburger grease . Wife bought 73 percent burger content . That’s a lot of fat drippings on 40 burgers
Damn sure is… but oh so tasty
not the biggest grill in the world either . basic Weber .
Hey, Weber makes a good grill. Nothing wrong with that
Its good , just not for that much at one time . small cooking space , all that .
Damn skippy, glad you didn’t warp your siding.
I tell you what , won’t far from it I don’t think . My house is brick but the back addition where the grill is , is vinyl.
Move that grill further out
Its on a little patio , if I do that it would be in the grass . Better than melting your siding though . never had a problem before . Too much grease
Start bringing George Strait over for cookouts, they call him the fireman…..wait, scratch that, hide your women folk. Lol
great song and yeah , the women love him still.
Sounds like you got it out anyhow.
True
ID channel already has an episode about the Golden State Killer
they were working on that for a while
after Oswalt Patton’s wife wrote that book CNN and Discovery started working on shows about the killer
there is also a documentary they started filming the day before they announced the killer being caught based on her book too
Yea… been in the works for a while
D_C in a pissing match with someone…
SHOCKING!
SCamp trying to start some shit. SHOCKING!
…D_C already fully engulfed in some shit
Who’s shocked?
NPI. SCamp. Nuff said.
D_C… if you would just stop posting this blog would be a much more intelligent and peaceful place. Unfortunately you just aren’t bright enough to realize that
1) You are the problem
2) No one likes you and
3) No one takes you seriously
SCamp, everyone can see that YOU are trying to start shit here. If you would just grow the fuck up and knock it off, this blog (and no doubt everywhere you go) would be a more pleasant place.
If you would just leave this place would be just fine. You fight with EVERYONE. You pretend to know EVERYTHING. No one takes you seriously and you are the blog laughing stock. You contribute absolutely nothing… nothing
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Your act is so old it’s ridiculous.
Grow up, or better yet, fuck off.
WAAAAAHHHH
NPI and Scamped beat me up again…
WAAAAAAHHHH
What a loser
Two 7 year olds.
…and one brain dead loser
No
One
Here… let me help you…
No
One
D_C getting his ass handed to him daily…
not shocking.
Big mistake taking this tool off ignore. Back in the dumpster he goes.
Can you put yourself on ignore?
Why would I deprive myself of my insightful commentary and charming banter?
You should do yourself a favor and just stop posting
Again, take your own advice. There is absolutely no problem here until you stink up this place with your childish rudeness.
Loser
LOL
An 85 year old man should not use LOL so much
No problem huh?
You and NPI taking shots at each others mother happened long before I got here
Just another example of how brain dead you are
…and why no one takes you seriously
No one
Well NPI was a total idiot before I ever posted on TI. He’s back on ignore where he’ll stay.
You’re such a pussy.
You are like that dumb bitch who calls to say she’s never calling again.
You are owned.
The fact that you can’t see it’s you proves why no one takes you seriously…
…and you should just stop posting
What I should do is put you back on ignore as well. You and NPI have fun in the litter box!
Not
Anyone
The way too early 53 man roster projection
QB (3) – Smith, McCoy, Hogan
RB (4) – Guice, Perine, Thompson, Bibbs
TE (4) – Reed, Davis, Sprinkle, Garner
WR (5) – Doctson, Richardson, Crowder, Harris, Davis
OL (9) – Williams, Moses, Nsekhe, Roullier, Scherff, Bergstrom, Kalis, Christian, Catalina
ST (3) – Sundberg, Way, Hopkins
DL (6) – Allen, Ioannidis, Lanier, McGee, Payne, Settle
LB (9) – Kerrigan, Smith, McPhee, Anderson, Brown, Foster, Harvey-Clemons, Vigil, Hamilton
CB (5) – Norman, Dunbar, Moreau, Holsey, Scandrick
S (5) – Swearinger, Nicholson, Everret, Smithson, Apke
I disagree
so it’s not too early, eh
right . you saw that one pretty easily huh
The WR group is underwhelming on paper . I hope one of them steps up and balls out.
I hear you. Look for a lot of two TE sets.
I guice the one thing I agree with is that I see each draft pick making the team.
Kelley over Bibbs
That’s how I see it but it could be a toss up . Close .
I see Bibbs beating out Fat Rob at this point.
You forgot Hankins.
I don’t think there’s any real chance of Bibbs over Fat Rob… but I guess you never know
Quinn is going to bump someone.
Start calling him Trey Gruden
No Apke on teams?
They have him at S
He is not going to be ready to play safety at the pro level for like a year.
Sure… but he won’t be a long snapper, kicker or punter. So he will be listed as a S
https://twitter.com/mortreport/status/990735880754262017
NOW he retires.

It’s pretty good as big-chain grocers go.
Better than pretty good. Family owned. Not corporate.
I’m probably spoiled as I’ve been shopping with them for 18 yrs. now. Can’t remember the last time I was in a Kroger, Safeway, Giant, etc.
Side note: Never buy a bucket of chicken from Harris Teeter unless you need to lose a quick several lbs. by way of throwing up.

That ain’t good .
I will say, this time of most Sunday’s I am pretty full.
Not today.
well , you won’t make that mistake again anyway .
Dude. That was a good ‘ol fashioned “high school” puking. Not feeling too sharp right now but I am glad there isn’t anything in me right now except water.
Ugh. Prepping a nice little bowl.
First call, the health dept. Next call, Teeters and get your money back. Then call, your dealer and get something to settle your stomach.
Didn’t happen if there aren’t photos.
Your wife sends me photos in my old football jersey and nothing else.
Why would I want pictures of you in your old football jersey wearing nothing else?
Probably so you get an idea of what a real man looks like. You glance at it each morning and realize you won’t ever know what it’s like to be able to walk shirtless down the beach in your forties and still get smiles from college sluts.
Your wife just sent me this picture. I wish she’d quit.

I gave your wife a pearl necklace and she wore it home.
Yeah, we tried to hock them but … costume! Such a cheep piece of shit you are.
Oh she hocked alright. Right before I blasted her neckline.
Wow, with that kind of talk it’s no wonder your first wife jumped!

Dude you are stuck with your bitch. I get to have my choice of a new one just about each week.
Struggle on wimp.
Sure ya do, Skippy!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are such a total pussy. Tell your wife I said hello.
Did we sign Hankins yet?
Y’all don’t need to now

Why not?
-Ziggy and the McSuck Twins
Ziggy puts in the effort. The Mcfatties…they gotta go.
the way I understand it , the worst of the two would be a 7 million dollar cap hit
I’m willing to take the dead money hit. Get the dead weight off the sideline and out of the locker room.
question is , are they ?
Agreed
It would be dumb to cut McClain this year, unfortunately. His 2018 salary is fully guaranteed. Cut him next year and draft another DT.
Fully?
Put that mofo out there then. Bust his ass.
Ziggy plays guitar.
Did we find any collusion yet ?
If we can acquire Hankins for a reasonable amount we should do that absolutely. you can never have enough good players

Dude looks like an AIDS victim
I loved Aerosmith in my early youth . First concert I ever saw and the first time I saw people smoking pot . one976 roughly . He looks terrible trying to keep that image up .
Never liked them.
Dude could French Kiss a moose.
Is he walking out of Trump Tower?

Ehh
That isn’t a positive sight.
Wayne is a LSU fan. Prolly just, doing fan stuff is all.
Might even look out for Guice.
I hope.
A rapper who is an open and known drug abuser isn’t who I want our newest RB hanging out with.
Of course not. However, if that’s the way it’s going to be…there is the chance that Wayne understands that Guice is special and works to keep him that way.
Keeps the weed and women away from Guice.
Again…I hope
Okay. Here it is….
Wayne owns and operates Young Money APAA Sports
Guice, is one of their clients. So, yea. He’s going to be seen with him from time to time.

You’re welcome!
Like how I was impressed with DMX’s badassness seeing him playing video games on his bus like a true gangsta, lol
Damn, they were running good too
Big ass crash
John Keim – The Redskins are now favored to win the SEC
woohoo! #1 Somewhere
lol
30 to go
so what do you do with turf, pressure wash it a couple times a year?
Prolly just need to go out with a blower from time to time. Or if you already have irrigation, let that run from to time.
Athleticism of our draft picks really runs the gamut. Apke got the highest score of all qualifying safety prospects, ranking him in the 99.6th percentile of NFL safeties, or a mouse fart from being a 3-sigma athlete.
Stroman, OTOH, ranked 105th among CB prospects, placing him in the 6.6th percentile of NFL CBs.
I was surprised how poorly Guice scored in SPARQ (54th, 28.6%).
Of course all that doesn’t mean shit if they can’t play football.

Hey great. That means we’ll have a serious athlete out there missing tackles.
Woot!
Lol
We’ll finally be tackling the air in FRONT of the runners instead of behind them!
SB!
Some damn good inboard shots coming from these cars driving in traffic today
They’re hauling some serious ass too
Talladega
Fast for there. Even with the dialed down speed on the restrictor this week, they’re hauling ass
No crashes is a big help. Perfect driving conditions too
Why would anyone feel sorry for Bob Griffin anyway? He was signed because Baltimore intended to draft a quarterback, namely Lamar Jackson, if you couldn’t get a wiff of that telegraph in the past weeks……..well, it was right there. Bob has a job because of this plan, Flacco is on the way out, but don’t go feeling sorry for him, either, as he’s made out like a bandit. Half the guys up here, at least, saw that coming.
Looks like the Ravens are going in a direction I suggested a few years ago, which is quit fightin’ it and embrace the college spread game. Most of the players coming out of college were raised in spread systems. Go ahead and let those QBs run! They can and will get hurt playing that way in the NFL, but you can sign a bunch of them (RG for example) for next to nothing. If one gets hurt, throw’em on the trash heap and put in another one.
An errant sarcasm missile just flew by…

Is that Tony ‘No Means No!’ Wylie that comes into view? Looks like him.
Fucker is blocking a serious set of legs. (In the black)
Locked in on that myself. It’s how I noticed Wylie
The NFL ought to take a page from NASCAR and go split screen for commercials
They experimented with this last year
At a game, TV timeouts are just awful.
4 rows of 3 wide
Hey Scamp…other than kicking out a roll, what is there to installing synthetic turf?
Can it be DIY’d?
Excavate about 3 to 4 inches of soil and put in a base… similar to installing pavers. Compact the sub base, then roll it out, cut, stretch and nail down. Really isn’t very easy…
..hence the huge expense
You can get away with 2-3 inches of excavation if you have no real tree root invasions or other obstructions.
That’s what they tell you to make you feel better.
Here comes the expert again…
Knows everything about everything…
Zoom, over his head again.
Yawn…
No one…
By the way… bases are different everywhere. Here they use a road base and sometimes DG over top. In Ohio it was chips and dust. Michigan was slag.
Whatever you would put under pavers or concrete there is what you would use for base. Our turf crew uses a sod cutter to get the depth right on the excavation. You should be able to rent on of those easily.
North Texas is clay. They do sand and gravel under asphalt. But there’s hardly any of that.
Most everywhere you go the roads are concrete. Poured out in sections that look to be 8″ deep.
Saw a car once that had tried to cut over and drove right into a fresh poured area. Fucking funny.
Gotta be a base under concrete though…
The Redskins 2016 Draft was interesting….
Doctson, Fuller and Ioannidis are the notables. Need a BIG year from Doctson or that draft is a BUST.
It counts that we got trades out of drafted players from that draft.
As long as Smith (Fuller trade) and Settle (Suzy trade) are productive….
43 in the lead

What does it mean to “nail the draft”…
It’s unrealistic to expect all your draft picks to make your roster. My expectation?
1. 1st round pick must be an IMPACT, Day 1 Starter.
2. Your 2nd round pick is starter or at least a heavy contributor.
3. 2-4 rookie contributors (ST’s/spot duty)
Gotta find Pro Bowl caliber players, one each year, another above average starter, and a couple more solid depth guys
^^^This
In an immediate sense, I think nailing the draft means you filled your teams biggest needs with players that you didn’t have to reach for, and didn’t waste picks on “luxury” guys in the name of BPA. I think the Skins did that this draft.
Can’t judge a draft for at least 3-4 years. Then, I’d say you nailed it around 40% of your picks are starters or at least playing regularly in rotation, and at least one of your picks is a Pro Bowl caliber player.
Don’t watch college FB, so I’ve never seen DaRon Payne until we drafted him and I’ve clicked some highlight vids. What stands out to me is how the guy looks strong. Usually DTs look big, but in a fat wide-bodied sort of way. I know they are strong and there is muscle under there, but they rarely “look” it. Da’Ron has arms and a physique. Pretty impressive – and in the highlights it looks like he moves pretty well too for a big fella.

Robert Griffin is on my flight tonight. Poor guy. Gate attendant in Baltimore blurts out to him: “We got Lamar Jackson!” Um, I’m pretty sure he already knew that.
4:26 PM – 28 Apr 2018 from Sterling, VA
Anyone feel bad for RG3?
…crickets…
D_C does.
Ha…
Walking punch line
Anyone care what D_C feels?
…crickets…
Is there anyone that actually likes D_C?
I have to know someone to decide if I like them or not…I appreciate that he keeps taking massive abuse here but comes back around and serves as the foil for just about everyone else on the blog. And his self-inflicted wounds provide good comic relief to some of the dooooshery that happens here.
Obviously I’m speaking of his blog persona… he may be a great guy… although I highly doubt it.
I have no taste for his politics and find myself disagreeing with many of his football opinions. But that’s like half the guys up here at least.
Feel bad for him? Not really. He’s going to make a million bucks to mentor Lamar.
That’s funny, and sad. Lamar Jackson being taught by Bob Griffin? Taught what, infidelity? How to blow the chance of a lifetime?
Sorta, yeah. How NOT to blow a chance of a lifetime.
So he’s an example of what not to do. Until Lamar fails, and/or somehow gains respect for Bob, he’s not a mentor. Bob hasn’t fixed his own self, if he ever does, I’ll stop.
Regardless, he’s making over a million bucks to run around and hold a clipboard, while he goes home to his smokin’ hot wife. So nah, I don’t feel sorry for him.
Neither do I
How to count to 3, 5 and 7
While your steps coincide, sure, Lamar is doomed.
I would have liked to be that gate attendant for just one minute
We have some very interesting UDFAs. Blanding, Welsh, Cobbs, Paris, Fernandez, Johnson. One of these guys is going to force their way on to the 53. Book it
I think I can finally see a plan and vision from the Redskins…
1. build through the draft.
2. responsible free agency here and there.
3. only a few homegrown guys get 2nd deals.
4. acquire picks to fill holes left by departing FA’s.
What took you so long?
That seems like the plan but of course that means we have to really nail the draft, which we haven’t so far under Bruce, or anybody else since Beathard for that matter. Here’s to hoping that this year is the year we start killing the draft. I still think we need to do a much better job of finding talent in free agency. The best teams are able to do that
They’re getting it on at Talladega
Best 2019 draft comment
I don’t care who we draft so long as it is the 32nd pick and we did not trade down to get it
Can’t buy liquor on Sunday here. Beers, ciders, hard sodas and wine only.
There are a ton of plants considered weed. And it’s stupid. A crap ton of them are heat tolerant and frostproof. Bonus…they grow out, not up. But wait, there’s more. Some are carpet soft. Plush even. But is it bladed grass? Nooooo. So for some dumb ass reason, it has to go.
Grass lawns are just…a time sink. That’s what they are. A time sink. (thank King Louis XIV for all the hours you’ve spent toiling a grass lawn) Around here, everyone has the god damn St. Augustine. Which I hate. It’s constantly thirsty. Go 2 days without water and it starts to turn into thatch. But what happens when you water it…it grows too damn much! Dumb choice stupid developer! Put down zoysia dammit!
Rant over.
Grass is nothing but a water drain. Whoever thought to plant turf in a fucking desert was a moron. Always telling people to tear out their grass and put in natives… just a waste.
Obviously speaking specifically of southern California
Telling people if you MUST have grasslike yard… try Carex Pansa
Synthetic turds are really starting to come along.
But spendy still though. And not permanent either. Eventually, the sun kills it.
Some brands come with 10 year warranty though. That ain’t bad at all. Show some fade after a few years, get it replaced.
Manufacturers out here have 10-17 year warranty. Cities and water districts are giving rebates for tearing out grass and putting in turf. $1-2 per square foot. Help mitigate the cost a bit.
For reals? I’d hop on that.
Zero maintenance. That’s the dream.
We’ve installed so much of it over the last 5 years… you wouldn’t even believe it.
A LOT of hotels are doing it… we’ve installed acres of artificial turf
I see it around here at dog parks.
Amusement parks is where I first started seeing it.
Vegas strip too.
It has starting taking over So Cal… still see way more actual grass than their should be. Of course, if our government continues to waste money on non bullet bullet trains and interest on massive unfunded pension liability instead of water infrastucture, because of, you know, the 8 year drought cycle, all the grass will eventually die anyway… as well as everything else that needs water.
…hopefully that “everything else that needs water” includes flaming-azz West Coast liberals.
They live on lattes and micro brews
And hate for unveiled capitalism.
My yard is about 50% grass and 50%, umm, other stuff. But when you mow it down it all looks green.
Typical… old southern Cali lawns have about 57 different types of grass in them… and about 35 types of weeds.
Mine is a DC area lawn. Mother-effer grows like wildfire in the humidity of the summertime.
Who drafted Poona?
Nobody
Seattle signed him

That’s pretty cool, Staff has been putting in work.
I wonder if Hogan throws a pick to the young Cyclones CB…..can we say he got Mackenro’d? Will Hogan throw his helmet and pitch a fit?
Alright which asshole signed a FB?
–Jay Gruden
some of these guys might just be tryouts
Coming in for rookie mini-camp
These were the signings…there’s another 5 guys for tryouts…one is a QB.
Elijah Wellman, FB, West Virginia…..well I’ll be…
scout team FB during camp
Aye, he’s also listed as a WR on West Virginia pages. I don’t feel one way or the other about him, just a Jay thing.
I’ve heard Timon Paris mentioned as a possible late round pick. Small school, but hie could be good depth
So people are giving us decent grades for our draft
After Nicholson last year I will withhold judgement on Apke since it seems Coach Gray has a type of guy he is looking for at safety
Also Apke plays on all the ST coverage teams something needed since Paul left
Good job Jamual!
Can’t wait to see these guys on the field…The offseason is too damn long
Dominate
