stwasm Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Brandon Lloyd, Redskins: Last year, if quarterback Mark Brunell threw to anyone other than Santana Moss or Chris Cooley he was in trouble. I don't see that changing much this season. Lloyd has a knack for the spectacular, but not in this offense. Predicted Production: 45 catches, 700 yards. Antwaan Randle El, Redskins: Just like Lloyd, the dynamic Randle El won't have enough opportunities in Washington. Predicted Production: 40 catches, 550 yards. Meantime.... Terrell Owens, Cowboys: The offensive line is the only big question mark in Dallas. Quarterback Drew Bledsoe has his detractors, but if he has time he'll be able to hook up T.O. And call this a dangerous hunch, but I think Owens will behave. Check back with me in November, though. Predicted Production: 85 catches, 1,300 yards. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/si_blogs/nfl/huddle_up/2006/2006/05/receivers-in-new-homes.html Be sure to add SI.com writer Andrew Perloff to your lists.

crackerbaby00 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I really dont see a problem with this....if the two of them have 1200 yards combined, thats a whole lot more than we had from the 2 & 3 guys last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostOfLamontHollinquest Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Yes T.O. is better than Lloyd and Randle-El, but probably not much better than Moss. So, why don't these analysts understand that we weren't out to sign a #1. As for not finding enough opportunity, that is just ludicrous. If Saunders runs this offense right, Moss and Cooley's #'s will decline and Lloyd will be right around 60/850/5. Randle-El will probably have unimpressive numbers, but with high YPC and YAC, plus be used in screens, gadgets, options, PR, KR, etc. (5 good reasons why he attracted us as suitors in the first place). The point is that the Lloyd and Randle-El signings make the Redskins better than the Cowboys without a major, potentially risky signing, because WE DID NOT NEED A #1 WR!!!!!!!!

SkinsTillIDie Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Well, not every reciever on this team can catch 75-80 balls. Look for stats to diminish, as we spread the ball around to Moss, Cooley, Lloyd, Randle-El, and Patten, with Portis coming out of the backfield. If you look at the revieving stats from Al Saunders' Chiefs teams, they weren't that impressive. Seeing as how we will still be a run-first team, don't expect huge numbers from all of these guys. It just won't/can't happen. Big numbers does not necessarilly equate to success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Wait a second, if Lloyd and Randle El can put up those type of numbers, and lets just say Moss has 1200 yards, Cooley has 500 yards, and the rest of the Offense has 600 yards put together, that equals.... 3500 yards passing. Oops. This newb just pwned himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goaldeje Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I will actually be pretty damned happy if we get 1200 yards production from our 2 & 3 receivers. Add Santana's 1200 or so, Cooley's 5-600, and we've got a pretty good offense. You gotta figure Saunders will utilize Clinton more in the passing game as well. I know the guy was trying to bash us, but I'm not too upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKN5 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 We didnt bring in either of these guys to be a TO type player... they are here to compliment moss.... i would 1200 yards out of the two...thats not that bad really.. plus what do they know....

Santana_Fan Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 funny....T.O. will behave, I bet if he was signed to us, he would have said that T.O. still wouldn't be behaving. Just another Cowgirls **** hopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPwr44 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Let's see: Death, Taxes and SI bashing anything the Skins do? Ummm, I don't get it?? There's nothing unusual or out of the way here. Just SI going about business as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty71 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Even if they have 80-85 catches between them - that is still good. Cooley and portis will make up the rest. The important thing is that Lloyd and ARE spread out the defense and allow the run game to open up - HUGE factor in moving the ball and will lead to more points.

PCS Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hmmm. Well, let's take a look at this statistically, ( I'll worry about such trivialities as making predictions like this sight unseen about an offense with a new OC and other changes for later), I think those stats wouldn't be all that bad. Let's say that Santana and Chris put up similar numbers as last year,( okay. Maybe a stretch but just for gits and shiggles), and then plug them in with the predictions made above. Santana Moss 84 1483 Chris Cooley 71 774 Antwaan Randle El 40 550 Brandon Lloyd 45 700 Hmmmmmm. Not so bad really. Better than last year as a matter of fact with just those 4. And those 2 additions do better than the other Redskins receivers combined last year I believe. Then you add in some yardage by others and that's not a bad year for the passing offense. Note. Obviously there is the probability that Santana and C.C. won't put up quite those numbers, but plug in some reasonable predictions and it's still all good imho.

I don't see that changing much this season. Lloyd has a knack for the spectacular, but not in this offense. Predicted Production: 45 catches, 700 yards. Not in this offense???!! Does Al Saunders mean anything to him??? PLus with combined 1200 yds by ARE and Lloyd, we would have 800 more yds than our 2 and 3 receivers last season. Sounds like improvement to me. Deushe bag....

MossPortisTaylorRocky Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 i would take those numbers lol. I am not expectin 3 TO guys. I want second and third guys to catch about 40. Cooley to catch about 70. Moss to do his thing. What is there to blast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorPickSix Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 haha what he doesnt understand is i think most of us WOULD be happy with that production form our #2 and #3 recievers. we don't need our recievers to put up colt-like numbers. defense is still the name of the game in washington.

Skinsrdatruth Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 if we could get that production from lloyd and ARE, plus similar/close to #s from moss and cooley like last year...and maybe a few hundred from patten, no one in America can complain.

headhunter39 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 what bull****. if everything goes to plan, yes the individual receiving stats will slightly fall, but with as many weapons that we have we could easily spread the ball around and devastate defences. this article just goes on to prove that everyone hates us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
