For the last couple of seasons

Ziggy Hood Jersey , I have tried to fill some of the slow off-season downtime in May and June with profiles of the Undrafted Free Agents that the Redskins bring to camp.Click here to..."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Looks Like Someone Has A Sixpack Of The MondaysDaily SlopRedskins RecapsEDTShareTweetShareShareAnyone?For the last couple of seasons, I have tried to fill some of the slow off-season downtime in May and June with profiles of the Undrafted Free Agents that the Redskins bring to camp.Click here to see the UDFA profile on current Redskin Timon ParrisIt feels, at times, a bit fruitless since we all know very well that only one or two of the undrafted players are likely to make the 53-man roster, and even then, are most likely going to be primarily special teams players and backups.Click here to see the 2018 UDFA profile on current Redskin Casey DunnBut then I think of the hundred-plus draft profiles we publish in February, March and April ahead of the draft, when the Redskins typically select 7 or 8 players, and I think that maybe it’s not so fruitless.It’s around the same hit rate.Besides — what else have we got to do in May and June?Click here to see the 2018 UDFA profile on current Redskin Cam SimsIn fact, many fans might be surprised how many UDFAs eventually end up on the Redskins roster.Right now there are 7 players under contract with Washington who were profiled in the 2018 UDFA series, several of whom were on the 53-man roster at some point last season.Timon ParrisCasey DunnCam SimsDarvin KidsyMatt FlanaganElijah WellmanDanny JohnsonThere are a couple of issues with writing UDFA profilesThe first is that the Redskins front office sometimes cuts the player before the profile is finished.This can be frustrating or not, depending on just how much work went into the profile.I tend to prioritize the players from most-likely to make the team to least, hoping that I minimize frustration.Also, I tend to post the profiles as soon as they are done — though I don’t normally post more than one per day.With other articles it’s not unusual for me to put them in the queue days, and sometimes weeks or months, in advance.Not so with free agent profiles... I publish them quick, before Jay decides the guy is no good in punt coverage and needs to go.The second issue is that it isn’t always easy to find information about the players.Remember, 256 guys got drafted... these are the leftovers.Some of them have a lot of information floating around because they were stars on their college teams, and some were thought to have a chance at being drafted, so profiles are out there waiting to be plagiarized.But when you get down to the 9th and 10th guy on the list, with 32 teams, we’re now talking about guys that didn’t make the top-500.Some of them came from small colleges, spent most of the season injured, or were actually backups on their college teams.You type their names into Google and the reply on the screen says: “WHO?”Anyway, despite the downsides, I enjoy writing the UDFA profiles following the draft, and there are two or three readers who seem to enjoy reading them; mostly nighttime security guards trying to fill up a lot of dead time.Team effortLast year, in the 2018 off-season, one of the readers that I had a bit of an email relationship with, Chris West, volunteered to help me ‘spice up’ the profiles a bit by doing some simple film study on the UDFA players and writing a short opinion about each player’s on-field skills based on the film.Chris’ contribution turned out to be something special.For each player, I would do some background research and try to find something about his life, some quotes about his career expectations or his personal goals.I’d include his career statistics if they were notable, relevant and available and whatever measurables I could lay my hands on.I tossed in pretty much anything of interest I could find — for some of these players that’s little enough.Chris agreed to write a profile for each player based on what he could see on film.We had a basic format of: Strengths, Weaknesses, How he would fit with the Redskins, Likelihood of (i) making the team, (ii) making the practice squad, (iii) being released.For the first profile or two, Chris sent exactly what I had asked for — about 150 words describing what he’d seen on film.Chris then asked if I would be interested in some screen shots, as he thought it would enhance the profile.Of course, I said ‘yes’.He sent me 3 or 4 screen shots with a few paragraphs about the player on the next profile.With each successive profile, Chris seemed to increase the number of screen shots and the number of plays he was breaking down.We soon developed a rhythm where Chris would send me the text for the breakdown in an email with his screenshots attached and numbered in order.I would lay the text and photos into the article, adding some circles and arrows as needed (which was a skill that Chris never really mastered).I think that the HH members who read the profiles unanimously appreciated the value that these short film breakdowns added to the profiles.The current situationAt the end of the 2018 UDFA series last season, Chris told me that the film work he had been doing on behalf of Hogs Haven had inspired him; he re-started an old online sports related business that he used to run, and re-ignited his Twitter presence in support of his business.He’s been successful at that Geron Christian Jersey , and the upshot is, Chris is no longer available to do the film breakdowns he did last year.So...I know from the comments sections of articles that a lot of Hogs Haven readers enjoy watching film and breaking down player performance as a personal interest.I figured I’d toss it out there and see if any HH member is interested in an arrangement similar to the one I had with Chris last year.I’m looking for someone who would be enthusiastic about doing film breakdowns on roughly a dozen college free agents for profiles that would be published in May and June.Typically my goal is to post about 2 per week, though there’s no real commitment or time pressure.If a UDFA profile isn’t forthcoming, I can just post something else.If you’re tempted by this ‘opportunity’ let me offer a few words here:I am perfectly happy with a simple 150 word written profile of the player in a relatively standard format.There’s a lot of freedom about the format and style of the profile if you are interested in ‘going above and beyond’.You could add screen shots or video; you might want to write more or less.I’m not fussed.The goal is just to add value to articles about Redskins players that fans would otherwise know almost nothing about.As mentioned above, this isn’t a pressure filled commitment.We would agree to a list of players at the start of May (usually around 10-12 names) and the target would be to cover them by the end of June.The list would be a little fluid; usually the ‘Skins front office will ‘churn’ a couple of UDFAs between the end of the draft and the start of training camp, and I try to adapt and cover the new guys that get added.I typically don’t draft the initial list until after the team finishes tryouts a week or so after the end of the draft.This would be a strictly volunteer gig that you do for the pleasure of contributing.There’s no budget allocation for UDFA profiles, though I will absolutely highlight your contribution in the article.If you want to promote a Twitter feed or website, I’m happy to add links as well.I found out from Chris last year that sometimes he had to get really creative to find film of players who are buried this deep.Cutups of the player often simply weren’t available.In those cases, Chris would often watch film on a high-profile teammate, and simply look for our UDFA to show up now and then.In some extreme cases where there was no draftable teammate, Chris would watch film where the cutup focused on a star player on the opposing team, hoping to get lucky.If there was no film to be found, we just didn’t worry about the breakdown on that player.As you can see, it’s a difficult and thankless task.So, if you’re interested, you can either leave a comment below with your contact details, or — if you prefer not to go public with your interest — you can send me an email at billhorgan2005@yahoo.com.Anyone? WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Redskins lost more than a quarter of their starting offense in one fell swoop Monday, with receiver Paul Richardson and guards Brandon Scherff and Shawn Lauvao all going on injured reserve because they need season-ending surgery.Coach Jay Gruden said that Richardson has been playing through a shoulder injury that is now too much to bear, while Pro Bowl right guard Scherff tore a pectoral muscle and left guard Lauvao tore the ACL in his left knee in Washington's 38-14 loss to the visiting Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.That setback ended a three-game winning streak for the NFC East-leading Redskins (5-3), who brought in several offensive linemen for tryouts Monday and signed tackle Austin Howard and guards Jonathan Cooper and Luke Bowanko. Before the signings were announced, Gruden said he expected for at least one new player off the street to start next weekend at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-5)."We just have to make sure we stick with the plan. Keep it fairly simple but not too simple," said Gruden, whose team has been at its most successful when Adrian Peterson runs the ball effectively but he had only 17 yards on nine carries against Atlanta. "Still going to challenge our guys to do some great things and hopefully the guys that we sign can fit right in and play."As it is, Washington already was facing injury issues along its line: Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams missed the game against Atlanta after having surgery on his dislocated right thumb and could be out another two or three weeks.Plus, Morgan Moses‘ status is considered day to day, Gruden said, after the starting right tackle hurt the MCL ligament in his right knee against Atlanta but returned to the game after limping off the field in the first half."This is something you don't want to go through. But it is pro football, and you have to go through it," Gruden said. "Fortunately we have a very good line coach in Coach (Bill) Callahan."Things got so bad against Atlanta that the one healthy starting lineman, center Chase Roullier, ran over to the sideline while Scherff was being tended to on the field to check in with Callahan about who should play where."Just to figure out where he wanted guys to go," Roullier said. "Maybe they want me at guard. Maybe they want me at center."It turned out that he stayed at center, but otherwise, the shuffling went like this: Tony Bergstrom, who entered the game at left guard when Lauvao got hurt on the game's third play, shifted to right guard in place of Scherff; Ty Nsekhe, the backup who started at left tackle in place of Williams, moved to left guard; and rookie third-round draft picks Geron Christian made his NFL debut at left tackle.Washington essentially was out of linemen at that point, so if another injury had happened, Gruden said defensive end Matt Ioannidis would have been forced to play guard, something he said he'd never done at any level."We were about a hangnail away from that happening," Roullier said. "That would have been interesting."Richardson's first season with the Redskins after leaving the Seattle Seahawks as a free agent ends with 20 catches for 262 yards and two TDs."Paul's been dealing with this thing all year," Gruden said of the AC joint injury. "Toughed it out for eight weeks and I think the pain has been bothering him so much that he needs to get it fixed."Gruden said that starting slot receiver Jamison Crowder, who's missed four games with an ankle injury, might practice Wednesday.
