Edwards held out of team work

[justasportsfan]

Trent Edwards was back on the practice field with his teammates Wednesday, but was limited to individual position drills and held out of team work.

“I think it was just coach’s decision, just to kind of limit me on some of the stuff we were doing, to try to make sure we’re not putting too much into it and making sure I’m still going towards that 100 percent,” said Edwards.

“He is okay,” said head coach Dick Jauron. “It’s probably still a little bit sore from it, but he’s moving well and he’s throwing well. He’s had a couple of really good days of practice.”

Still the odds of Edwards seeing the field on Thursday night in the preseason finale against Detroit seem slim.

“I haven’t been told anything as of right now and I’m kind of going to see how it goes tomorrow,” said Edwards. “We have meetings tonight and I’m sure I’ll know more about it by that point. And again, I’m trying to get better and I’m trying to get healthy. I’m very, very concerned with our game a week from Sunday, and that’s kind of where I’m at right now.”

does anyone else wish Trent had more work in the Redskins game yet?

Re: Edwards held out of team work

if he was in there for the game and got hurt, people would be calling for Jauron's head - this seems a prudent move - if he can practice with the team, while obviously not ideal, that will have to be good enough.

Re: Edwards held out of team work

It goes like this:

Jauron cuts OTA's short.
Jauron holds "Club Jauron" training camp with only two 2-a-days, both in the first weekend.
Jauron restricts Edwards' play in the first preseason game.
Jauron plays Edwards in the 2nd preseason game and he does well.
Edwards is injured for the 3rd preseason game.
Edwards is probably injured for the 4th preseason game, or at least too close to being injured to play.
Edwards is not participating in the team portion of practice.

So, how the **** is Edwards supposed to get better via experience when he's never practicing? Jauron can't be blamed for factors beyond his control like injuries, but he squandered the practice time he had with Edwards when he wasn't injured. Now the season starts in 10 days and there is no more time to practice.

Great.

Re: Edwards held out of team work

Edwards is not going to get the experience we want him to have in any pre-season game or any practice.
