PCRoughrider Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 This makes sense for a couple of reasons. If Betts is better, he handles kickoffs ...Santana does punts.Farris is probably a better receiver than Parsons...at least he looked like it in the pre-season. But it still leaves us short at WR. If Parson is back on the practice squad then Farris replaces him. Thrash is injured making us a receiver short, irrespective of special teams. And I, really, don't want Moss returning punts!

I think they are looking at their options right now. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtyler42 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Anyone thinking that Kevin Dyson may make a reappearance here in DC? He needs to...A WR w/NFL experience that has had some success in the league, he should have been the first WR we called... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgiaredskin Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 It's about time!!! Nobody has film on this guy and he and Brunell clicked in the pre-season. We need to take the pressure off of Santana! 100% Amen to that. THIS is a very positive step. :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcsmooth Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Farris was very impressive in the pre-season. He seemed to have some speed and played with a purpose as if he was trying to get open. That's what we need..., a receiver to get open. C'mon Farris... C'mon Redskins... I still believe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonerman Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I am glad Ferris is back. I think he can fill Patton's or Thrash's role. TJ showed me nothing. Maybe it was rust, injuries, Brunell, or a great Raider DB - whatever - I just didn't see a thing to make me excited about him. Ferris was exciting in preseason and I was sad to see him cut. Now I hope I am right to be glad he is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzSkinsFan63 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I was happy to see the signing...looked gooded in pre-season plus he played well against us when he was with Atlanta...that cinches it..LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor ToughLove Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I was willing to bet this guy would get cut today after the muffed kicks yesterday. Antonio Brown has better hands than this schmuck. :doh1: No way. I remember scoffing when they cut Farris & kept Antonio Brown. When they cut Brown weeks later, I got to say I told you so. I never saw Farris drop anything, he didn't get a much time, but he made some crazy catches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor ToughLove Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I will ga-run-tee that this guy doesnt catch a pass and probably drops atleast 1. I'll take you up on that ga-run-tee. Want to bet? Name the terms: signature, time span, etc. The kid can catch. I just don't know if he can get open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooksfb Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 They should have never let him go in the first place. I hope he lights 'em up and replaces Patten permanantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie0720 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Does Farris remind anyone as a Ricky Proehl-type reciever? Proehl wasn't a starter bu you could count on him in a clutch situation to make the catch. I for one am glad he is getting a shot at the pros. I was dissappointed when he got cut.Hail!:point2sky You basically only said that because he's white. He really hasn't done anything clutch.

Cherokee Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Now all that's required is both Jimmy Farris and Taylor Jacobs share enough reps at practice. The most exasperating situation is a missed assignment or route. Otherwise, I'm happy that Jimmy is back and has an opportunity. Taylor, as well, though he caused a fifteen yard penalty after an excellent run by Portis. That holding penalty caused a hole that burned through my stomach lining. Jimmy Farris, I believe, should compliment Taylor. Also, with Sellers out for the San Diego game, I would surely like to see three Wide Receivers more often than the Tight End and H-back in on plays. Damn, I would have enjoyed watching Nehemiah Broughton or Manuel White replace Portis on a max protect with Jacobs, Farris, and Moss. With three WRs hopefully Brunell may have more target choices. Hail Redskins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Farris will now get his chance to demonstrate if he belongs. I hope he excels and earns some playing time. I am guessing he will play a lot on special teams and I hope he gets in on some three receiver packages. Concerning Jacobs, he needs to step up and make plays. He did not stand out in the Raider game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek1973 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Right now I would also sign ABrown for the punts and kickoffs and as our 4th receiver. I just don't want to see Moss returning punts. That is one guy we can't afford to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
