Lachey79 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 DOCKERY, DOCKERY, DOCKERY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I have to agree, Dockery has the most potential to go along with the physical attributes. I wouldn't classify the majority of those players as sleepers, as most have started or at least played large chunks of time throughout their careers. Gillespie is camp fodder at best. I don't see him getting one snap this season, barring an emergency. LJ is a close second to Dockery, but he's coming off a major injury that would hurt an established veterans performance, let alone and unproven youngster. Dockery has all the qualities of a sleeper. On one hand, he could be a hog-esque mauler, or he could be a regular at Dunkin' Dounuts. Nobody knows how he'll turn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's a better list than I could've come up with. Sleeper is just a hard word to define. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I really like Antonio Pierce. I thought when Arrington went out a couple years back he really showed up and played well, considering his experience level. Armstead can't last forever, and I hope when the day comes that he hangs up the cleats we still have Antonio Pierce to step into his spot. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlitzFiftySix Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I just spoke with BigDaddy's wife, she says that Dan is a mother to wake up in the morning. Plus, he snores!!! I may decide to change my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golgo-13 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I had to go with the Rock. I think we have a stud of a fullback in the fold and you have to be happy to pick up a guy like that in the seventh round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 in terms of the upcoming season the big surprise could end up being Taylor Jacobs. If Gardner were to get injured, Jacobs could be a 16 game performer and rack up some very nice numbers next to Coles, who defensive coordinators are sure to game plan against with extra coverage in terms of the 'unknown' player vaulting up, how about Matt Bowen? nobody really knows much about him. I saw him in one NFL game, the 15 tackle game against Atlanta in the playoffs. the Skins saw some good things in him and we have had such a void at safety for years, that a guy coming in who plays solid and turns in the occasional big play could be the unsung hero of the defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poidog22 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I gotta go with Dockery, although I'm hoping that Jackson comes back and helps with Washington's pass-rush deficiencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Kevin Mitchell should have been starting over Trotter all year last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I like the potential of Dockery but I'm gonna say Jacobs with D Mac taking advantage of his opportunities, a close second. Isnt it a little early to be enjoying a Corona? KMitchell over J Trotter? Dude.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Ohalete. We need him to be good more than any of the other players on that list, so I'm giving him all the good mojo I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bccdc Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Kevin Mitchell is clearly a key to this years success. At this point, we have no idea whether or not Trotter will be able to make it back. And if he does, we have no idea if he will have the power necessary to shed 320 lb guards , the quickness to chase down RBs etc. The re-signing of Kevin Mitchell, who knows the D and has proven himself to a be a consistent MLB will be key to this season.

Darth Tater Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 This may be Ifi's break-out year. L. Jackson could prove to be a sleeper if he's recovered from his injury and shows he can play the run too. Rock may have a good year but since he doesn't really play a flashy position (of course, performance could modify this), I don't know if the rest of the NFL will call him a sleeper (we may, however). The rest of the guy's listed would most likely mean that somebody was injured, so even though they may be better than expected, there still could be a talent drop-off. I truly think that the guy who may do better than expected is Betts. If Mr Spurrier's offense works like he wants, our prime back could easily go for 1400 - 1600 yards.

Franco Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Yeah i dont know about that Mitchell over Trotter thing.... Dockery will definately be a big contributer next season if not this one and yes, Jackson will help with the pass rush ALOT more than most expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Hog Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I know we are loaded big time at receiver, but I am a big Derrian Mccants fan. He gets my vote. Hopefully they will all show up big time this year ! ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins24 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 1. Lavar Arrington - on offense 2. Dockery 3. Royal 4. L. Jackson 5. P. Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 actually, the best 'sleeper' on the Redskins is Zeron Flemister. He slept through at least 4 or 5 games last year if not more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelms Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Originally posted by MAP16 Kevin Mitchell should have been starting over Trotter all year last year. Amen! It's seems like I'm the only one that has noticed Kevin Mitchell's contribution since he joined the Redskins. It's a shame that he had to take a back seat to Derek Smith and now Trotter. Based on the both of their performances last year, Kevin Mitchell should be the starting middle LB and Trotter should be fighting for a right to start. But, we all know that isn't going to happen based on what we are paying for Trotter. I also agree with the other poster concerning Antonio Pierce. This guy is going to be a very solid LB. A nice replacement after Armstead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
