Fireballs Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 They cut Jimmy Farris and kept Antonio Brown. Why cut a guy that can catch everything and yet keep a guy that can't catch anything?? The other night Brown dropped 4 or 5 passes. He has hands of stone. Plus, he made mental mistakes. So far they have also cut 2 of their draft choices. Brunell is clearly playing better than Ramsey, yet he is on the bench. Folks, you can't win in the NFL with these kind of bad decisions. We saw it last year. This year is looking like repeat. Many think the Redskins have made so many bad decisions that we will not win as many as last year. I have said these people were wrong. Now, I am thinking that sadly they may be right.

bulldog Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 you are basing the evaluation on one game. Gibbs is basing his decision on input from Smith and from observation of both players for the past couple of months Brown had a horrible night against the Ravens. But he was catching balls against the Bengals when Brunell was in the game. Looked pretty good actually. And he excelled in camp, where the coaches made their preliminary evaluations. If Brown were not to make it, I would expect the Redskins to replace his roster spot with a veteran performer rather than a bubble player like Farris. Remember Farris has bounced around NFL camps for the past 2-3 years. Yes, he showed good hands in ONE GAME. He produced a big play in ONE GAME. If we were going to base everything we were going to do on the Ravens game, then the Skins would probably be releasing Jason Campbell right about now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I am thinking that sadly they may be right. I am taking a wild guess here. Because maybe Brown is our kickoff and punt returner maybe? And because when it comes down to it A. Brown can run better routes than Ferris and he had one bad night only while in training camp and the first two preseason games he was great as WR?

LiveStrongSkins Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 What a stupid post. Keep a player who had one good game against scrubs with marginal speed over a player who is an explosive returner? Thank god you dont run this team.

A Brown made a lot of mistakes both returning and recieving. I didnt think he was going to make it. I was suprised they cut Parson http://www.nfl.com/stats/playersort/NFL/KR-KICKRETURNS/2005/pre I thought he was the better return man. He runs up field. But I guess they will use Betts on KR so they wanted a PR/WR and thats A Brown. He runs like a 4.1 or something crazy like that. I think he did well in practice. The opposite of McCants. I guess they think he will come around. Plus Thrash can PR also. I dont know. Its tough. Parson could have done both KR and PR. Betts backing up at KR Trash at PR In case of injury. Farris looked like a gamer. So was McCants. And I liked Parson. I would have taken them over A Brown, Jacobs (IR). I guess you could have done. 89 Moss, Santana WR 80 Patten, David WR 83 Thrash, James WR 86 Brown, Antonio WR 84 Jacobs, Taylor WR vs 89 Moss, Santana WR 80 Patten, David WR 83 Thrash, James WR McCants or Dyson Jacobs A Brown I guess you couldnt keep Farris unless he was a turn guy. And no Parson unless he was a reciever. Since we need to work on our offense more then our D, I would have added one more player to offense and lost a DE. We have 5 on the roster. I would have taken another WR over Killings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltimateSkinsFan Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 One good game (Farris) duth not a roster make. Thus, one bad game (A. Brown) duth not a bust make.

Brunell played agaist college players and NFL europe fodder. Ramsey played 4 Very good defenses in pre season and THE best d in the nfl. Cutting 2nd day draft choices inst out of the norm in the nfl, now if it was a first day draft choice, then you have an argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamSneed36 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I cant beleieve the number of people on here that really think Farris should be on this teamover anyone based on the 4th preseason game. Did you see his sideline interview? Even he said he was just there to try as hard as he can until he is cut. A. Brown can get wide open on first stringers, hopefully he can be taught to catch. You cant teach 4.2 speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One_Mic Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Its just too bad that they didnt let the back up WRs (the ones behind A brown) play more. You cant really say what a guy wouldve done, whether negative or positive, when he wasnt given the shot to do anything in the first place. Truthfully, when I went to skins camp, Farris was one of the guys that stood out to me. Based on that and the Ravens game, I would've taken him over AB. However, I would've also given him more opportunity in the preseason games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSteve Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 You're delusional. Way to let one preseason outing cloud your better judgement. Antonio Brown provides far more value to this team in turns of kickoff and punt returns + recieving. Neither Brown nor Farris were going to get significant playing time at wideout, therefore their respective special teams values is what got one of them over the top. Brown>Farris on special teams contributions. Get over it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomadskin11 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Yeah, but as much as I like Steve Blake... er... Jimmy Farris, I just don't think he can really cut it for my beloved Wizards... er... Redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hands11 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Antonio Brown caught a ton of balls in the first 3 preseason games. again, thought without knowledge. Do some research first. http://www.nfl.com/stats/playersort/NFL/WR-RECEIVING/2005/pre?&_1:col_1=2&start_row=251 4 game preseason stats. Antonio Brown 7 rec 25.5 average 0 TD - tons of drops. Jimmy Farris 6 rec 26.5 average 2 TDs - I dont recall seeing his drops. Im not saying he didnt make any but I dont recall A Brown having any kind of break out game like farris did. Those were 2 awesome catches for TDs. Actually A Brown has a terrible game with hands of stone and other games where he made terrible decissions returning the ball. Recieved it to deep. He ran everwhere but forward. Farris is 6 ft 200lbs vs A Brown at 5-10 175. Both have Farris was in Atlanta a few year and has actully caught TDs in real games. I cant say a blame him totally for his production if he was an underdog on a team that doest really throw that much. So lets not make it out that Farris wasnt in the same league as A Brown and that keep him was totally a stupid idea. The kid showed skills in a live game at WR.

laurent Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 All this nonsensical second guessing and overanalyzing of decisions our coaching staff has made is truly sucking all the excitement out of the upcoming season.
