elkabong82 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Well McCardell just got cut by the Texans, per ESPN bottom line. So those of you who think he merits a good look, start hoping. It wouldn't be a terrible move IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jofizz Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Yes I would take Mcardell any day over the crap we have. Is that a shot at all of our WR's, or Brandon Lloyd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodriggo Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I could have sworn that I heard John Clayton say that the Jags Reggie Williams is going to be released. He's the guy that caught two TDs against us last year right. We have to sign this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpheusmeyers Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I think the Jags are going to keep Williams and surprise surprise release Lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking Skins Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 I wouldn't be opposed to Williams either. Really I'm quite unopinionated about either of the guys. The one thing about any of these guys is that they're probably going to be signed to pretty cheap contracts. And I don't know how much you can expect from a WR coming in early september and knowing none of the playbook already and having no kind of experience with Campbell. But one thing about McCardell is that we were looking at him earlier this offseason, which makes me believe that a deal with him is more likely. Plus there are incentives to him being an elderly WR. Maybe he can pass some knowledge on to a guy like Lloyd, who we're praying can live up to the contract he got. Plus, we know how much Gibbs loves veterans - especially proven veterans. Plus, if you want to look at experience, given it was like 20 years ago, but McCardell does have experience in Gibbs's system so maybe it'd be easier for him to pick it up than the other guys.

Thinking Skins Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 I just read this post: http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208909 It says that McCardell is likely to retire. So I guess there's little chance we get him now - not unless Danny boy is willing to make it worth his while to stay in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I think Williams needs a change of scenery. He is working on a cheap contract and if he doesn't turn out the team can let him go next year and suffer very little damage if any as a result. McCardell appears to have lost the fire to compete. Houston was going to be a poor team in the rich and competitive AFC this season, if he were still interested in competing he would have chosen a better football situation to go into. Yes, he's from Houston and his family is there. But 6 months to play somewhere else, pick up $1 million and have a chance to go back to the playoffs? It's not that he can't do it anymore perhaps as much as he doesn't WANT to do it anymore. He got a ring with the Bucs in 2002 so that factor isn't motivating him as much as it would some other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimster Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 No thanks, I want us promote Hoag. I'm thinking why not on Hoag? He comes from a small school and seems to bust his butt. - Look at all of these WR's who were supposed to be superstars but keep getting cut yet everyone here wants them. Put him on special teams and see how much he can be developed. We're talking about a #5 WR. - Worst case scenario we release him after minimal investment and sign one of these other guys who will still be available looking for their 2nd or 3rd chance.

HailSkinz1 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 McCardell was cut, but the sad thing to me is that if we signed him, he'd immediately become our number three receiver. B Lloyd can't get open, Thrash isn't given the opportunity to do anything but special teams, and no one else is worth a damn. If the Jags cut Williams, unless he's a head case (which is the only reason I can think of why the Jags would cut him), I'd be for signing him. I think it's clear now that our inability to go downfield had nothing to do with Brunell last year. JC is not able to consistently go downfield either because guys don't get open. Even the two great catches by Moss and ARE in the past two games were caught with guys all over them. We need some WRs in here. Hail, H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mi6 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Keenan McCardell was drafted by the Skins. He has speed, runs good route and has been a productive WR in the NFL. When you compare his career stats with some of the others they are quite impressive. At 37, Keenan can still out run many of the NFLs WR and DBs. It a shame the Skins let him go in the first ****ing place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frediemac Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Is that a shot at all of our WR's, or Brandon Lloyd? You called it my man :laugh: :laugh: yes I was talking mostly about Brandon "I SUCK ARSE" Loyd. I have never disliked a redskins player in my life but I'm really getting around to it now. :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 He got a ring with the Bucs in 2002 so that factor isn't motivating him as much as it would some other players. Didn't he get a ring with us in 1991 as well? Dude is old. When you were signed to a Gibbs 1 coached team and are still playing you need to retire. :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
