From the afternoon scorcher:
Studs
WR Marques Hagans. He’s an intriguing player because of his shiftiness. He catches the ball well for an ex-QB, using his hands nicely. Hagans had a catch and run from the slot. He also made a sliding catch downfield on a Jason Campbell pass, over DeAngelo Hall.
TE Fred Davis. Kept flashing during 11-on-11 work. It’s fun to watch him run because he’s a good athlete. It also helps that the Redskins called a few bootlegs that went his way. Here’s the play I really liked: Davis ran an out, saw Todd Collins step up in the pocket, reversed field to the middle, freed himself for a catch and run.
CB Justin Tryon. Did a nice job keeping his eyes on where they needed to be. Was not fooled by a Trent Shelton double move. Not exactly going against Jerry Rice, but it’s a start.
DE Rob Jackson. Got past Stephon Heyer and Scott Burley. Jackson has shown flashes, but it could still be hard to win a roster spot. He really needs to show something this preseason.
Duds
RB Dominique Dorsey. Dropped a swing pass. He’s not as bad as Anthony Alridge, but the ball finds its way to the ground too much with both guys.
RG Edwin Williams. Seems best suited for center; allows more penetration at guard, as he did this afternoon vs. Kedric Golston. Still looking like a practice squader.
RT Stephon Heyer. Maybe his knee is still bothering him, but whatever the reason he did not look sharp in the 11-on-11 work. Both Rob Jackson and Renaldo Wynn — also known as the last linemen on the roster — got by him.
RT Scott Burley. Jackson got past him, too. Even the optimistic Joe Bugel said Burley has a long ways to go.
