#Redskins then welcome new head coach Zac Taylor (former McVay assistant) to FedEx for week 2. His #Bengals would be the team to jointly practice with IF they have joint practices.

Dress rehearsal is in Atlanta and then they close at Baltimore for the traditional finale.
As for the regular season schedule, last year it was announced on April 19th. We’ll have a couple of days head’s up that it’s coming but we still don’t know when that release will be as of now.

Keenan Brown's Texas State tape was a hoot to watch: he lines up everywhere and does anything. I'm not sure if any of it will translate to the NFL, but I would spend a Day Three pick to find out.

Some realities that may be uncomfortable for hardcore Skins fans:
— Hogs Haven (@HogsHaven) April 9, 2019
1) If they pull off a Rosen trade, the biggest benefit is he's cheap and under contract for multiple years. Not sold on if he's a franchise QB, although he has 'A' arm talent
The good news is that if there's any position you can wait on in today's NFL, it's iOL -- if the scouts do their homework, it's very possible you can find a starter or contributor in 5th round.
— Hogs Haven (@HogsHaven) April 9, 2019
And while I think the most practical/effective strategy is trading for Rosen and using 1st-rounder on an edge rusher, my mouth waters at the thought of T.J. Hockenson slipping to 15... can't imagine Detroit, Green Bay, or Miami passing on him though.

Been meaning to mention this: A guy having a lot of '30' visits is NOT always b/c his stock is hot, as it's sometimes positioned.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) April 9, 2019
With non-1st-rounders who have a ton of visits, the presence of a medical or off-field concern is often why so many teams want to bring them in.
Stanford center Jesse Burkett majored in "symbolic systems" and Japanese. If the NFL doesn't work out he will probably command an army of robots or something.
