We'll see. He certainly carries a well known last name but the proof will be in the pudding.

No doubt he has to perform. He was familiar with Locksley from Locks time at Alabama and liked him as a coach. It is a good get, now we have to see how it plays out on the field. Right now he has to sit out this year unless he petitions the NCAA to play right away. With all that is going on I might take the year to sit out.

One thing we know is that he's got a strong arm.


He doesn't seem to have all the tools his brother has - he's not as big and doesn't appear to be as athletic. Still, that doesn't mean he can't be an outstanding QB.

I agree, I think he would be wise to take the year to sit out with all that is going on.

I agree with you!

Golf and NASCAR returned today … unless there is some huge relapse they are going to be playing football. Lack of ticket sales will likely be helped by increased viewership on TV.

One of my all time favorite Redskins too! Even though he wasn't the brightest bulb on the tree he played his guts out for us.

Although sick this sounds like he is in reasonable shape.

True which is one reason I discount Jimmy Johnson as a college coach … I guess you can blame the school and NCAA to that a guy made it through college and couldn't read.

Dexter had the biggest heart but wasn't smart enough to say no to some things he should have. I understand that. He learned to read, he kicked drugs and he was a helluva a pass rusher … and he was fun.

What do you mean he couldn't read? I thought he read offenses pretty well, LOL.

To me, Dexter was a prime example of a player who left it all on the field, giving it his best, game after game.

Could be worth a shot

To have gotten through what he did - maybe he was the brightest bulb. Peace and love to Dexter.
