    Dukies in the NFL - 2015

    Crowder is starting to show what he can do, and why Washington drafted him. The Redskins are doing joint practices with the Texans, and Jamison puts on a show...

    As a Redskins fan I was happy that they drafted Crowder. I read a Redskins blog on ESPN's site and from what I can tell Crowder is doing just fine. In particular sounds like he runs good routes and does a good job of adjusting to the ball at speed (meaning he has the ability to make adjustments to the ball without slowing down). They are going to have him return some kicks as well. I hope he continues to impress.

    DeSean Jackson apparently separated his shoulder at practice today. No details yet, but could favorably impact Jamison's snaps played and balls thrown his way. Either way, I too am glad to hear he has gotten off to a good start.

    Heard an RGIII interview today as they're here in Richmond for camp and he was complimentary of JC, who I would think make the team-they need return help and WR back-ups/starters. DJ getting hurt helps JC. Local reporters covering camp were positive on JC, less so on RGIII. Just a little input from camp from me.

    Dukies in the NFL - 2015

    I thought some might want to see this profile of Kenny Anunike in the Denver Post (I don't think it hits a paywall): http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci...ight-nfl-track .

    From that article:
    His 50-plus-page thesis: "Coping with Injury: How High-Performance Athletes Mitigate the Biopsychosocial Consequences of Sports Injury."
    Sounds like the paper due at the end of an AFAM class in Chapel Hill, no?

    Proud that Kenny is getting a chance in Denver.

    50+ page thesis? At unc-cheaters? Surely, you jest? Wait, I think I discovered the simple error on your part. You missed the decimal point and meant a 5.0 page paper. Or could that be a 0.5 page paper?

    Three tries but you finally got it correct.

    I was afraid you were going to strike out.

    At unc, might there in fact be "paper" papers for which there is no tangible evidence? I would think so...not much of a leap from "paper" classes to "paper" papers, is there?

    Here's the Washington Post's Mike Jones' point #5 in observations from the Redskins' preseason win over the Browns last night:
    #5. Returns game remains shaky – The Redskins need Jamison Crowder (hamstring strain), who should serve as a legitimate upgrade on punt returns. Andre Roberts, who admitted last season he wasn’t fond of fielding punts, was ineffective Thursday, and fumbled at the end of one return. Cleveland cashed in that turnover for a touchdown. Chris Thompson got a few chances to field punts and he looked terribly uncomfortable. He muffed one, but luckily managed to scoop up the ball before defenders got there. He’s just not a natural there, despite his great speed. Crowder excelled in this capacity in college and should wind up landing this job full-time once healthy.
    Let's hope Jamison returns to action soon.

    Agreed. It would be great to finally have a Duke guy make it at a skill position after a long draught. Crowder could be that guy.

    I'm almost always up for a long draught. Perhaps #7965 from this page:

    http://forums.dukebasketballreport.c...m-Beer/page399

    I'm not sure Crowder could field a punt very well after one however.


    Mattman91 did accuse me of being able to turn any discussion/thread into a hops and barley forum.

    Couldn't give you official kudos, so please accept my post kudos as alternative. Apparently, my mind is still on suds after the rehash of 1999. Perhaps it is time for a chocolate peanut butter porter for breakfast.

    Let's hope Crowder avoids the draught and ends the drought.

    A chocolate peanut butter porter for breakfast? Sweet Baby Jesus, you must be kidding me.

    Alternative kudos accepted (or would that be excepted). I'd also accept a Liquid Bliss, too.

    Lions vs. Skins Game

    I missed the game last night while hosting a poker party, and failed to hit record on my trusty DVR Did anyone watch, and can you provide a recap on how the Dukies did in that game? I believe Crowder was going to be held out of the game with a hammy, correct? Did Cofield see any action? Laken I assume was getting reps for the Lions, how did he do?

    Cool video on the trip by the team.

    Yesterday's Denver Post claimed that Juwan Thompson is fourth on the Bronco's depth chart for running back but that he was seriously challenging Montee Ball for third. The article also claimed that he is "invaluable on special teams".

    Crowder uses basketball moves

    I first thought that Coach K must have given him a pointer, but apparently it started in high school.

    Crowder in the End Zone

    The box score says Jamison caught a 22-yard touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins in the skins' game against the Ravens. So far, three catches for 31 yards.
