lilty1975 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Fellas, Can somebody let me know something about RC. I'm in NC so I don't get to see many games. Has he played a down yet? If not is there any reason why he isn't playing. If somebody could help me with this information, I would greatly appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Some people just dont fit well in certain situations. He has played a few downs, and we may see more of him with the injuries. However, for him not to be able to crack a regular roster spot, there has to be more then meets the eye in the situation. McCardell gets more playing time and Caldwell is younger. He was the leading reciever on the Patriots last year and we all know he is capable. Im more excited about Farris. He and Campbell have chemistry.

IrepDC Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I don't think he has played yet this season so this will be his first action as a Redskin. Last year, he was one of the "no name" WR's Tom Brady was throwing to up in NE. 06 Stats at NE: 61 catches, 760 yards, 4 td's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINZ33 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 He hasn't played very much (maybe one game, but I could be wrong). He will be getting a lot more playing time this week due to the injuries within the WR corps so this will finally give us a look at what he can do. I don't think hes a bad WR at all, and with LLoyd injured maybe he gets a chance to prove me right or wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrepDC Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Correction, apparently he has seen some sort of playing time in 2 games this year. Possibly just special teams but I'm not sure. He doesn't have any stats listed for this season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo-toni Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 The guy has hands of stone, and simply isn't good enough to merit playing time. Kudos to Tom Brady for actually making him look like a semi-competent WR. He may get some time now that everyone in front of him is ailing. Here come the drops....

I remember him dropping some easy passes with NE but I didn't know it was routine. Are his hands really that bad? 760yds recieving ain't too shabby.

BigRay Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I do not recall him playing a down for the most part he has been on the inactive list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviedude25 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Caldwell doesn't have good character so like Lloyd he's been regulated to sitting on the bench while other players with good character like James Thrash get to play. Gibbs isn't coaching football players anymore, he's looking to fill a choir practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever21 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I think we'll see him get some extended action this week. Not like we have any other options! So hopefully he steps up big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he wasn't playing simply because he sucks. And I thought we were through with Gators.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 There has to be a reason Caldwell hasn't been more in the mix. . . but I do wonder if his hands of stone reputation is derived more from that high profile Super Bowl drop more than any real history of drops. He really has been the invisible man this season, even more so than Lloyd, which is odd given his respectable numbers coming from a good New England team last season.

rlt2622 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 He dosnt have any catches as a skin. We had him in for a few plays. He was open downfield a few times, but we didnt go to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the drop you're speaking of happened in the AFC Championship or Divisional playoff rounds. He wasn't on the Patriots for any of their Super Bowl appearances. I think part of the reason it's taken him a while to get on the field is because of the timing of his signing. He needed some time to learn the offense AND the guys ahead of him on the roster all had some sort of advantage to get playing time. Moss and ARE obviously had the #1 and #2 spots. Thrash and McCardel are both veterans, and we all know Gibbs prefers vets. And Lloyd just because there is so much money tied up with him. So now because of injuries Caldwell can finally overcome some of those obsticales I've listed and get on the field. Hope he produces... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
