TheDane Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 This is a surprise to me. I wonder if Gibbs saw something during OTAs that he didn't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TODD Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Originally posted by jrockster77 I remember seeing him make some big plays on Sportscenter in the time of yore.....hopefully he's still got some playmaking ability left. I think he will be a good possesion receiver, if nothing else. Probably fight for the 4th wide-receiver spot with Thrash and McCants. In my humble opinion: 1. Moss 2. Jacobs 3. Patten 4, 5, 6. Thrash/Dyson/McCants I think it's safe to say we'll have 5 WR's on the squad this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Hog Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Bringing in Dyson, as well as working out Antonio Freeman is a sign to me that Gibbs wants to bring a sense of professionalism, leadership, and "know how" to the team. Between the two of them, there are four Super Bowl appearances. They have a sense of the commitment, desire, dedication, and effort needed to get to a Super Bowl. I believe that Coach Gibbs hopes that this will be able to rub off on some of the other guys on the team. Sometimes, infusing a roster with a few winners is just as important as the sheer talent or production that they may be able to bring at this point in their career, as is the case with Dyson.

I actually left out a name on my list: 4, 5, 6. Thrash/Dyson/McCants/Brown. If you are right, and it is only 5, then which 2 will be cut? Not including 50/50 of course.....

Om Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Leadership, leadership, leadership. Says here that the Redskins receiving corps is going to shock a WHOLE lot of people this year. Guys are going to be where they're supposed to be, when they're supposed to be there. They're going to know the game plan and execute within it. They're going to give consistent effort, both on and off the field. Add the Cooley factor underneath to the speed of Moss, the potential break-out of Taylor Jacobs, the experience and leadership of guys like Patten, Thrash and Dyson, and THEN throw in the Gibbs year-two schematic impact (oh, you don't have to believe me now, just be sure to remember where you heard it come, say, late October ) ... and this group is going to suddenly become something much larger than the sum of its parts. This signing is a breath of fresh air after the last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB44 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I guess A. Brown is gone then? or is Dyson just Camp Fodder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Money Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I would have liked andre dyson instead but what they hay, as long as there was no signing bonus, who careS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I like having an experienced WR from a good team come to camp and battle for a spot. I think Gibbs feels more comfortable with seasoned veterans. If he could have it his way, he'd gather all the Thrashes, Dysons, and Pattens he could get his hands on and then let the games determine who his #1 WR is!

Henry Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 If we're lucky he's good for 40 catches and 500 yards. As Om says, this guy is a vet to balance out the youngsters. If he pans out, great. If not, we haven't lost much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedlamVR Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 they were interested in Dyson way back in march... i remember the Post or the Times running a story about the Skins being interested in Dyson and I was kind of hoping at the time it was Andre . I think he has been brought in as camp fodder he hasn't played in two years I am not sure if it was injury or something else but when he did he did play well . Weather he will be able to push McCants or Thrash out is another story, but competition is never a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrockster21 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Originally posted by OWUeagleMD The Titans chose Dyson over Moss-- Worthless trivia. I think he meant Santana Moss. As far as Randy Moss, he fell all the way to #21 because of off the field problems and attitude problems. But hindsight is 20/20, and I'm sure all 20 teams that picked before Minny are kicking themselves to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinPride27 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 A veteran with experience. Even more competition, a low-risk move cause he comes cheap, I expect. I'm trying to remember when it was but a couple of years ago the Redskins were thinking about signing K. Dyson. For some reason, 2003 jumps out at me. But the Skins stayed away because he was injury prone. Can't remember right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidenreich Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I like it. A veteran with something to prove to push the other receivers in camp. What can me wrong with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinker Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Yeah we have too many receivers to make the team. But don't forget that unfortunately one or several may get hurt. You have to have DEPTH. This is a good pickup for several reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamSneed36 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 adss a little size to our small recieving corps at 6'2 212, not huge, but bigger the anyone else except McCants. Now we can really switch out a lot of WR's like we were doing the end of last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Don't know why people think this is much of a surprise. We talked about this posibility a couple of months ago. Personally, there is no downside with this. You are bringing someone in who has actually has done something in this league, is at an age where he may have something left in the tank, and can help mentor a young receiving corp. Even if he never sees the field, he can help in training camp. Nice to see the team do it. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
