Roster moves: 3 tryout players signed; 2 waived
by Steve Thomas
May 14, 2018
The Redskins announced today that the team signed the following college free agents:
PLAYER POS. HT. WT. COLLEGE
Vontae Diggs LB 6-2 221 Connecticut
Casey Dunn C 6-4 292 Auburn
Darvin Kidsy WR 6-0 180 Texas Southern
These signings are the result of the rookie minicamp that took place on this past weekend.
The team also announced that wide receiver Mikah Holder and center Sean Welsh have been waived. Welsh announced last week on social media that he intended to retire from football for personal reasons.
We’ll have more on these signings right here on The Hog Sty.

For anyone who really knows Hockey better.
If the Caps can make it out of this round to the championship, who would you rather face?
One Ninja sized Duck, or 100 Duck sized Ninjas?
do Ninjas taste like chicken?
Does Duck taste like Chicken?
Duck tastes like duck. But, you have to know how to cook that fat or it’s all ducked up.
There ya go……
Ninjas taste like pizza fed turtle. Everyone knows this.
wouldn’t the Caps be the villain either way?
Vs a Canada team, for sure.

Topher Grace as David Duke.
Yeah, that’s fucking perfect.
He cast a good David Duke.
Perfect casting there.
Really whole cast looks solid. John David Washington is one of the best actors on that wreck of a show Ballers.
Colorado Springs, though….is there some history to that?
Not that I know of.
Maybe Disco can get an extra gig, lol.
John David Washington – Son of Denzel, 1 season with the St Louis Rams, then the Rhein Fire and 3 years in the UFL with the Redwoods/Mountain Lions
No shit? that’s cool.
Probably why he’s a decent fit on that show. His being an actual football player, he can understand some of the mentality.

bad lip reading w/o the lips.
Going out on a limb here and predicting that the Warriors will win the NBA title.
all games are forfeit since the league interfered with the Chris Paul to Lakers trade
null and void
they’re just doing winter conditioning for football and other summer sports
Love DHall, but this whole I’m done playing football, but not officially retired (b/c that would ruin the surprise!) business is kind of awkward.
Let it go, DeAngelo, like Carlos with both hands on a sure-fire pick six!
It’s a bit silly. Like he’s superstitious
or, something contractual; well, something rule-based? (he’s a FA)
I’d suspect the only thing it would be contract wise is if he’s still looking for a post playing job BUT someone comes and offers him a 1 year deal to be depth somewhere, he would want to un-retire.
GA at VT?
I’m guessing he want’s to stay in VA, but just a guess.
maybe, but the (best) opportunity may not be where he wants to stay
If he wants to coach, he could probably also start out at a lower level, Hampton University, William and Mary, that kind of thing. Heck even Georgetown technically has a college football team.
If I owned the Washington Valor, I’d fire that terrible joke of a head coach they have and hire Hall right away.
I think he would do very well teaching the youngins at VT vs pros. At least initially to hone in his coaching skill set. And they have such a defensive mindset at VT it would really fit well
That would be Bud Foster’s decision to make.
Obviously
I’m not sure it would happen this year, regardless of the scandal.
Im thinking in reduced or different role. qc coach. Regional Recruiting. He has a rapport with the young guys so somehow leveraging that skillset
Yeah, if they could find a spot in recruiting, something that has just received a major overhaul anyway, he could be a good shot in the arm. That makes good sense.
two impressive beat-downs by the caps. heck, last game should have been 6 or 7 to 0. tampa bay scored twice on 2 totally bogus penalties on the caps.the refs also missed that hooking on wilson (which is what caused him to crash into the goalie). w/o that hooking, wilson might have scored. very impressive how they did not implode after that series of terrible calls.
caps: play like you’re on the road.
It looks like they’ve finally figured out the mentality of playoff hockey. Where everyone is foot on the gas.
what a depressing game last night btwn houston and golden state. they were playing at a whole different level than the wizards.
I want to be there for the Caps tonight. Gonna be tough to get through a 12 pack on a Tuesday though. I managed to Friday and Sunday…
Maybe someone can sub in for me?
that’s a boatload of selzer water and my wife would kill me if I drank all our supply
plus, I don’t have cable, so getting sloshed on some fruit-flavored, stevia-sweetened selzer water sitting in front of a radio would be kinda weird. prob after every six, would have to pop one of those runner’s salt packets to keep the electrolytes going…
imagine that
chugging what looks like sprite in frosty beer glass
popping salt
listening to headphones on a couch
while swirling a white towel overhead like Petey Pablo
my wife on the phone giving the medical folks my measurements so they can bring the correct-sized straitjacket

There’s no local broadcast?
Nope. It’s on NBC Sports only. Joke of a league.
Caps better not lay an egg at home. More confident in them when they play on the road.
Let’s do this CAPS!
Go italics
Personally I’d love to see D Hall coach. I do think he’s got the leadership aspect down, but start him off with the basics and hope he can be groomed into the X’s and O’s
However, if he wants to get into broadcasting, it would make so much sense to me for him to be on the radio calls with Cooley every Sunday, to replace Sonny.
That’s where I’m at.
Get some Redskins on TV. Displace all the damn pukes already.
Well I’m talking the local radio broadcasts. I don’t think there’s a good chance he would make it on a major broadcast. Hate to say this, there’s too many network suit types would probably be against him.
Coaching doesn’t have cute co-hosts in the studio though
I’m sure you fellas are proud, and you should be….but look, it’s time to take down 2017 training camp photos and put out something current. Even if it’s just women drinking coffee.

When we have a chance to get more photo’s from 2018’s camp we will post. But we try to only use original content for this site, and to buy photos from the AP and stuff is crazy expensive by our standards.
Take a vacation day. Pick up Jamual. Get to camp. Grab some pics.
When camp opens up I plan too. I just got to buy a good SLR camera. We don’t get access to rookie camp stuff.
Why not? Those beat reporters they let in are a bunch of hacks.
Yes but beat reporters are part of news outlets that can cover the team every day. That’s how it works.
Go all in. Quit your day job.
When this place brings in enough money for me to get 6 figures, sure.
Move to a different cost of living.
We probably could have gotten access to rookie camp, but we didn’t really plan for it.
Thinking about it I did have a few pics J took at the singing day I’ve added to the rotation.
I love Singing Day

thanks for the memories. we really saw you mature in your time here, but, get over yourself, dude. cat’s out of the bag. i don’t even think the team WANTS someone who’s 95% sure he’s retiring. not exactly “all in”.

No, it doesn’t. No one on here was claiming Obama was not born here. If you can’t separate the absurd or “they did it first” mentality from your thought process you don’t deserve to be conversed with
Are you sure no body was? I don’t recall that.
No one in this conversation was… so your comment was asinine.
No because I thought Trump was nuts about that too just like you’re being nuts about the First Lady

did you say home inspections is what you were gonna do ?
Yes
I have a friend who has a real estate appraisal business . he has almost no overhead as he has no employees . He mostly does residential . It’s something like 500 bucks for your basic appraisal and it might take two hours or so to complete one . He stays swamped with work . Every home equity loan, buying or selling a home , foreclosures , you name it . They all require appraisals.
5 appraisals a day ? 2500 bucks , IDK . Just saying ….i wish it was me .
Yea, inspection not quite THAT expensive and a little more time consuming but yeah, low overhead, no boss, no employees, make your own schedule
right . He was a welder in the Newport News shipyard . married a girl whose father had that business . Quit the yard , went to work for his father in law . father in law passed away , he took over the business and has done well. Now the state mandates you have a college degree to get your licence . All about timing for most people . He got a little lucky but he’s done well . Good reputation . He’s knocking down some jack too.
the median income is 51,000 a year
How you doing, NoVaMike?

Margot had those “fuck me” eyes.
Some of you boys here don’t know about Margot Kidder. She had “naturals”. You good ole’ boys watch too much Mike Hammer.
I agree with you . I’m all over it.
Damn Buck…first Sissy now Margot. Go take a cold shower. lol
Sissy was bad to the bone . Not even debatable
Sissy Spacek?
No.
Sissy Spacek died????
no
ha haha. I can see how you and rick are confused. earlier today we were talking about sissy from urban cowboy. Buck was a little excited.
Owned property in Charlottesville, my Pop used to see her around town.
Er’rybody know who she is.
I can’t honestly say I totally get the Margot Kidder fascination. I mean, she’s good by normal standards, but by Hollywood standards, she’s just okay to me. To each their own, I suppose.
Now Margot Robbie is a totally different story.
That’s the thing. Margot Kidder wasn’t “hollywood”. She looked a big tittie chick from the bowling alley
DAMN!….I wish DeSean Jackson were still here with Alex Smith.
you’re joking, right?
No…Kirk wouldn’t throw it to him consistently.
Over threw him too……….if that’s even possible.
evidently they never threw it too him in Tampa then and he had a thousand yards plus receiving when he was here
not me. The guy only balls out when he feels like it .
We got Paul Richardson
So…we don’t like Robert Davis anymore?
I do. People are over-reacting to Trey Quinn. I hope he’s great, but he’s been through all of 2 days of rookie minicamp.
I right there with you Steve…
Here’s WRs in a nutshell, to me:
– Doctson, Richardson, and Crowder are the locks
– Maurice Harris has the inside track on the 4th spot
– Davis, Brian Quick, and Trey Quinn are the leading contenders for the 5th spot, and if they keep 6, the 6th spot
– They’ll keep one or two on the practice squad, probably, so Cobbs, Fields, Kidsy, Pierson-El, Sims, and whoever is left of Davis and Trey Quinn are competing for the PS.
– I keep hearing alot about Cam Sims, so call him a sleeper.
– This means probably 5 of these guys will be gone at the end of training camp.
Shit man, who you talkin’ to?
Davis is history
Yeah right.

Mr. Irrelevant isn’t looking so irrelevant right now. Trey Quinn, the last pick of the 2018 NFL draft by the Washington Redskins, has already started capturing the attention of all at Redskins rookie minicamp. Most notable, his elite route-running skills have sat defenders down — twice.

Question a friend posted on SM. If you don’t own any caps gear but have been rooting for them, is it poser-ish to get a shirt or something now?
nah.
I guess I could also ask this for myself, only caps thing I own is a T-shirt they put out for pride a few years ago, long story but a friend came into a bunch and was giving them out to everyone. I figure, I like gay folks, I like DC sports. why not.
It won’t make you a poser. But…they’re winning. Don’t go putting the jinx on them by doing something different.
The butterfly effect…it’s real. In sports.
If you’re a DC-area resident, no.
For me in Texas, yes.
The wife’s on a new diet, no carbs or sugar, high fats, lots of meats (something about being good for the kidneys. I get home, she texts me, “can you cook up the entire package of bacon”… I need to join this diet.
what? did it snow 3″?
Atkins diet . It’s tough to get over the cravings for bread and such , but it works
No pasta , potato’s , wheat , flour , etc
I think what she’s doing is called Kedo. But very similar when you look at it. This is also very little fruit (sugars), lot’s of salty things. I’d try it but my cholesterol is already higher than it needs to be.
good point . That’s why Dr’s don’t like it . As soon as you start eating carbs again , the weight comes back quick . That was my experience .
Tons of fat and, as you say, cholesterol. I’ve never been on any diet, but that just doesn’t sound healthy.
Here’s isn’t a weight loss thing, but she’s got some kidney issues her doc thinks this will help.
I think the idea that eating fatty things, eggs, meat, etc. increases your cholesterol has been pretty thoroughly debunked.
? go on.
Lots of stuff online, but the bottom line is that just because food contains cholesterol or saturated fat doesn’t necessarily mean that it will increase bad cholesterol or fat in your body.
https://health.clevelandclinic.org/why-you-should-no-longer-worry-about-cholesterol-in-food/
first thing they tell you is to cut out fried foods .
Yeah, you especially want to avoid transfats.
if you can give up bread and sugar , you will lose weight . it’s hard to eat a meal without some form of bread .
My problem is I like ice cream. If someone could find a way to make an ice cream diet I’d get back to my college weight of 120
Good luck with that. Everything in moderation….
especially moderation.
no .
Look up keto diet effect on kidneys
There’s some stuff to sift through there
Yeah I’ve read a little, supposedly when you have kidney issues from diabetes, which here’s is this can be a way to help if she does it for a few weeks.

steve,
you were skinsfan713 in the old days, right?
Yes Walter yes .
He still uses the 713 icon
He disagrees with you on weed . It’s ok . Chill out.
it’s not that he disagrees about weed, it’s that he disagrees about what he said about weed/alcohol. my vivid recollection is that he said that in his ideal world alcohol would be illegal too. i.e., rather than legalize pot, it would be better to criminalize both pot and alcohol, in an “ideal” world.
Yes, that was what I used to go by before I quit TI.
I’m not going to entertain your “vivid recollection”, principally because I don’t care.
so, do you deny saying that? or are you taking the 5th?
Why does Vontae Diggs sound familiar?
I think there was a Diggs last year at WR. He was from Surry co Va. He hung around awhile before it came to an end
or maybe it was another name . Not sure the more i think about it . I could look it up and not be lazy . I remember him because he went to Surry HS . Kinda of local for me .
Reggie Diggs . I was right .
frist !
Weed is for losers
