Rebuilding Of O-line Takes Interesting Turn For Redskins
A brawl broke out about an hour into practice in Virginia Saturday afternoon, which was apparently a holdover from the previous day’s practice when a Redskins running back ran over a Texans defensive player.
Several fights, actually, and one was a doozy. “He brings it on every play, even if it’s practice”.
Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt talks to a group of United States Air Force service members after a joint NFL training camp with the Washington Redskins in Richmond, Va., Thursday, August 6, 2015.
A minute afterward the opposite area, rookie Texans operating again lowered his shoulder and ran over a Redskins participant.
“It got heated”, Texans outside linebacker John Simon said. “I trust the plan that we do have and I think it’s going to be very beneficial and just from the results we’re already seeing so far, it’s been great”.
Hayward said Johnson came back and cut Redskins fullback Jordan Campbell on Saturday, which started a fight on the side with the Redskins’ offense and the Texans’ defense.
“If that’s the case, the DB need to get out the way or get his weight up”, Hall said. “A lot will be written about what happened today, but really we had two excellent days against them and I appreciate them coming and it’s an unfortunate happening”.
Joint practice meant LeRibeus, listed at a solid 315 pounds, had to go up against Vince Wilfork, listed (somehow) at 325. But, Bill O’Brien addressed it after practice, said that he injured his groin and that he’d miss some time.
Multiple fights broke out between the two teams.
The Texans got to work immediately on trying to find his replacement. “Sometimes things happen. It’s just the way it goes”. He remains sidelined, but O’Brien said Friday “he’s going to be back at some point”. Redskins wide receivers Pierre Garcon and Andre Roberts were also in a scuffle with the Texans. If things work out for them they could end up on a practice squad, which pays a lot better than the average job. He said it doesn’t matter to him whether he plays guard or tackle, and that he will do whatever is best for the team. “We acquired into an argument, I took my helmet off and he hooked me with a proper hook and we obtained to preventing”. Obviously we can’t do that in a game because everyone would get fined and suspended, but we did what we were supposed to do as a team.
