Vince Wilfork and Ribeye. Can you say pancake?! Not sure which practice this was but wasn't today.

Texans CB mad about Matt Jones run. DeAngelo Hall: “He needs to either get out of the way or get his weight up.” http://www.richmond.com/redskins-xtra/article_d9c09d39-efb0-5b97-836d-c736b84b4518.html…

could be a reason for it

I'm sure...not sure if this is the hit but it's one of them by Matt Jones.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Sounds about right. It's football folks. Nothing to see here...

I believe Ribeye is a waste of a roster spot rather keep Reiter as our backup center

So turns out that Wilfork pancake tackle of Ribeye was today at joint practice FWIW

Looks like tomorrow is going to be a day off now to give everyone an extra day to recover.

Interesting correlation could be made with BOBs comments to his team about being grittier yesterday.


Excerpt
When asked to clarify what he meant, Shorts III responded without hesitation.

“We kind of figured something was going to happen,” he said. “This is what we prepared for. We did a good job, stayed together, nobody got hurt. It’s over with. Let’s move on.”

In Houston’s team meeting on Friday night, Shorts III said Texans head coach Bill O’Brien called for his players to take the field with a little bit more intensity on the last day of joint practice Saturday.

“I think that was a big thing coach talked about last night is being a nasty, tough team,” Shorts III said. “Not taking nothing from nobody and I don’t think we did today.”

Oops

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Today's practice was a sloppy wet day interrupted by tempers and fights and the biggest takeaway was probably team unity.

Remains to be seen if that will be translated to the field down the road.

Kai's struggles have continued and Long isn't looking much better.

Some POVs from both sides

Excerpt

However, Kai Forbath’s struggles continued. The place kicker missed, wide right. Fortunately for Forbath, his competitor, Ty Long proceeded to miss a 55-yard attempt off the crossbar right after that. The two then got five more kicks each, attempting from distances of 33, 38, 40, 43 and 48 yards. Forbath was 3 for 5 on his attempts, with misses from 40 and 48 yards out. Long was 4 for 5 with his miss coming from 40 yards out. Forbath has now made only nine of his past 16 attempts. The only problem for the Redskins, Long hasn’t been much better. Forbath has normally proven accurate on field goals (he missed only three kicks all of last season), but weak on kickoffs. This summer, he hasn’t looked sharp in either category.
