Awards: Who’s got the hype heading into week 3 of the Redskins preseason? The Mason/Brennan Preseason Hype! Award has been given out unofficially by the fans for years to each preseason's most hyped players Womens Brandon Scherff Jersey , but now we've made it official, and will bring it to a vote. This week's vote counts the hype heading into the Redskins preseason Week 3 game against the Broncos. Place your vote for who you feel has been the most hyped player up to this point, whether the hype is deserved or not.The Rules:1. Player must have been drafted late or signed by the Redskins as an undrafted free agent. Players that have only been on other teams practice squads that are signed by the team are also eligible.2. A player that has been on the team for several years is still eligible if most of that time has been spent on the practice squad, inactive, or with very limited productivity/timeHow have past Mason/Brennan winners done in thr NFL after receiving this glorious award?Offseason Mason/Brennan Winner: WR Trey Quinn (49%)Week 1 Mason/Brennan Winner: CB Danny Johnson (27%)The Candidates:RB Kapri BibbsBibbs keeps making plays, and more importantly, staying healthy in the preseason. Three more RBs went down against the Jets last week(sorry Martez Carter, you were definitely making the list this week). Bibbs keeps scrapping for a spot, even with the arrival of Adrian Peterson.OG Isaiah WilliamsWhat is the easiest way to get nominated for gor the Mason/Brennan Preseason Hype! Awards besides being a 6'5" WR? Play a position that fans want to see the projected starter replaced. Shawn Lauvao returned to the field with the starters last week, but Isaiah Williams has many fans hoping he makes the team over some of the other retreads from last year.CB Greg StromanStroman is still riding a hype wave from being part of the reason we were able to get rid of former Cowboys CB Orlando Scandrick. DB Adonis AlexanderI'm just going to leave what I wrote about Adonis last week here until he actually plays in a game. Alexander has been injured, hasn’t done much of note in camp, and didn’t play against the Patriots(or the Jets). Has that stopped his hype http://www.washingtonredskinsteamonline.com/jonathan-allen-jersey , and Jay Gruden from mentioning him following the Scrandrick release? Absolutely not! You can’t spend a 6th round pick next year, and just give up on a physical specimen like Adonis can you?WR Maurice HarrisMaurice Harris should be the starter! He just needs more chances! Did you see that one catch last year! Mo has earned some legit hype in camp and preseason this year, but injuries keep on catching up to him and he won't be on the field in the Broncos game, a big week for the Mason/BrennansOLB Pete RobertsonPetey didn't make the cut last week, but he's back and still trying to get you to remember his name.ILB Jerod Fernandez If you get two sacks in a single preseason game, you're pretty much a lock to be nominated here. WR Cam SimsCams Sims is officially a Hype! STUD, and has already been compared to Julio Jones after two preseason games in the NFL. He won't play tonight but does he even have to, some fans already have him replacing Josh Doctson as the starter. Sims is "raw as can be" according to Jay Gruden but he makes big catches against little defenders that get people excited!WR Trey QuinnHe’s back, but he never really left did he? Mr. Irrelevant got his own video package from the Monday Night Football crew on Thursday night, and a feature on the Bleacher. He also did that whole catching the ball thing that WRs get paid for. Quinn’s nomination this week tests the heights of the Cam Sims hype.We have a fullback! Redskins sign J.P. Holtz to the practice squad Many people were disappointed, but not surprised that the Redskins did not keep a fullback on the 53-man roster this year. Washington started camp with Elijah Wellman on the roster, but he was waived/injured and the team moved onto TE J.P. Holtz to play FB.Holtz did a solid job blocking http://www.washingtonredskinsteamonline.com/ryan-kerrigan-jersey , and earned some hype from new starting RB Adrian Peterson(and a Mason-Brennan Preseason Hype! Award nomination).Holtz also got some praise from Head Coach Jay Gruden, who talked about the numbers game at RB, ILB, and OL when considering keeping a 4th TE to play FB. He didn't make the cut and the Redskins kept 5 RBs, 5 ILBs, and 9 OL. One of those RBs, Byron Marshall, is reportedly a candidate for IR with a sprained ACL/MCL.The Redskins dumped DL Cashaud Lyons yesterday after only one day on the team. It was reported last night by Craig Hoffman that a familiar name would be brought in, and we now know that J.P. Holtz is back with the team. Holtz joins Matt Flanagan as a TE on the practice squad. Will Holtz ever be brought up to the main roster, or will the Redskins continue to use other players/positions for the role?
