Ghost of Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 You know it would be all well and good if B Lloyd didn't catch the ball when he got in but he's done that. One was taken away by a penalty and the other got decent yardage. HE did NOT drop that ball vs. GB, it was overthrown--PERIOD (and badly, as he should have only had to stride to get to it.) Why the ___ are we running Thrash on deep routes?! Thrash really shouldn't be on the field unless we're running 4 wide or if someone's winded.

SearchHorizon Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 HE did NOT drop that ball vs. GB, it was overthrown--PERIOD (and badly, as he should have only had to stride to get to it.) But some of us disagree on that. It was a tad overthrown, but it was catchable by a NFL caliber WR. The ball hit him on BOTH hands. Also, that play which landed him the dog house was NOT because he failed to catch the ball. Rather, he failed to go AFTER the interceptor. In that interview, BL is saying that it is just one play, so that he should be excused. He doesn't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackest Eyes Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Maybe we will see some good things out of B Llloyd and the receivers this week. Jason cannot do it all himself. I think once the WR's step their games up, we will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. NO. Campbell ___ up on that. It's ON HIM. It was not 'catchable by an NFL WR.' It would have been a highlight of 2007 catch. If the play involved anyone NOT named Brandon Lloyd, no one on this board would be calling that ball 'catchable.' That's idiotic. It's not that we disagree (obviously we do.) It's that you're wrong. Campbell just had to put some air under it and it's a TD. BTW, even if he catches it, it's not guaranteed he gets in the end zone and knowing how we blew that game, no guarantee we score a TD. If the ball is thrown with ANY air, it's a TD and we're sitting here at 5-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny9TD Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Thanks, Snyder. Why is it that when Snyder signs a player, they consistently don't play hard or live up to their previous hype when they put on the Skins uniform?? Good question. Some more incentive based contracts are in order. :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[[ghost]] Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Even though Lloyd hasn't really provided much in terms of production. I can't hate the guy. He always has a smile on his face, he never seems to let things bother him. You can tell he's not necessarily happy about how things have gone, but he's not dwelling on it. He's not ****ing, he's just taking things as they come. I can't hate on that. Thats exactly how I feel. Now if he was on the bench complaining about not getting the ball, that'd be different, but he seems to want to do the best with his opportunities.

[[ghost]] Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Exactly. Anything Lloyd does is ten times worse than it actually is. When he celebrated with Moss on Rogers' Pick-6, people complained about that too. No matter what Lloyd will do, some people will never, Ever give him his due. Course, he's not likely to do something that would require people to do that, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackest Eyes Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 When Lloyd threw his helmet, I was kind of irritated by it. But you know, the guy was frustrated because the offense was not doing so hot and he had opportunities to make plays. I would have been upset as well. If anything, we need more players showing their emotions...maybe not throwing their helmets but showing more of themselves when they are frustrated or excited or something. The team needs more life on the offense and I really think B Lloyd could help. It has been several games since he screwed up. The coaches need to re-think the "punishment."

Roblowsta Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 He got in the GB game. He dropped a pass that would have been good for a TD and won the game. What more do you want from the coaches and the QB? The coaches put him and the QB threw him the ball. He did not do what he is paid to do. Santana Moss dropped several passes that could have extended drives and or won the game in GB. Chris Cooley dropped a crucial first down pass that could have extended the drive and sealed the victory over AZ. It happens. I've bashed Lloyd time and time again but I still think he as some talent and should get more opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ball is thrown with ANY air, it's a TD and we're sitting here at 5-1. I am not saying Campbell could not have done a better job of throwing the ball because he could have however, having said that, Lloyd got both hands on that ball. Both hands. And just finger tips either. He both palms on that ball. An NFL WR who has a $30 million contract and who is trying to prove he should be in the game makes that play. Has to make that play. I have seen highlight real shots of Lloyd making tougher catches than that. And he would have gotten in the Endzone. He landed in the Endzone as it was without the ball. What makes you think catching it would have made it any different. The reality is that if this guy wants to play he is going to have to start proving himself and that means hands like flypaper. If he can reach he needs to catch it. Just touching it and falling down is not good enough. Oh, and as per this ball only being catchable because it was Lloyd...forget it. I would be saying this for any receiver who got that much hand on the ball. I would just be a bit less critical if were Moss or Cooley or ARE because they do make plays. So far, Lloyd has not done a thing in a Redskins uni. Not one thing. He gets no slack as he has earned no slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
