skinsmarydu Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 We have a little depth...let's see what the young'uns can do. And our qb is accurate. I have confidence. I hate late games...too much excitement! Hail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 As I said, as regards Pierre, we have some very similar guys that bring what Garcon' game brings, so your accounting for them regardless in your planning. Hail. I agree with you that the secrecy doesn't really give us an advantage. But, I'm curious why you believe the team has an obligation to give the fans/media the complete story? ---------- Post added September-16th-2012 at 11:07 AM ---------- Na, Robinson in Garcons backup. I'm excited to see him again. I loved him in the preseason and his game in NO only made me love him more. The fact that an unheralded WR comes in off the bench and does in a couple quarters what we kept waiting for Kelly and Thomas to do is amazing to me. Next man up and catch 4 balls including a TD? Sure, no biggy...that's just my job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 They don't have an 'obligation' (your word) TD_w. It's their prerogative to do what they want. It'd just make the speculation less rife if there was more transparency. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amm0409 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Na, Robinson in Garcons backup. Robinson looked good and is Garcon's backup. I think his similar to what we have in Garcon, but his def. no Garcon. Garcon is playing on another level in my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I have to imagine that there are legitimate reasons to keep things close the vest. Just off the top of my head, let's say that Shanahan knows that Garcon is going to miss another week or two, I have to imagine keeping that internal has some sort of competitive advantage.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I wonder how much more involved Santana might be this week? I mean after last week, you'd think Robinson will get attention. And with the Rams being soft over the middle outside of Laurinaitis Moss from the slot and Davis could be the major receiving threats. Hail.

aqq Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 In the words of Derek Jeter your either hurt or your playing. Garcon not playing today is weaaaaaak but i have faith in our young qb and the other wr to step up and beat the Rams. Like to see what Dezmon briscoe can do!!! Hope is is active.

hands11 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 That is what could make things interesting. They had been building out the team. They had offensive weapons its just that they didn't have a QB who could maximize them. Fred Davis is a beast of a TE. You could use him as a primary target in an offense if you want. And now the WR core that has been build out as well. Hulu out of the back field. They have weapons. I really like Garcon, but they can keep him on the sidelines as a break in case of emergency player. I predict they will see what they can do without him first. If they are getting it done, he gets another week of rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the talk of Robinson, Hankerson, and Morgan, I have been waiting for somebody to mention Moss. I could see Moss being very involved in the gameplan if Garcon is really out. Moss is still one of my favorite players, and I think he can still ball. He looked good in camp and preseason, and as you know, I just happen to have a soft spot for Gibbs' guys.

ejay183 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I expect more Moss and Davis this week. Which is great to have depth in these situations and maybe we see some Hankerson this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfansince1988 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Schefter just said that Garcon wants to play so they will test him pre game, so he still might play, maybe have him active and have him play a few plays for his big play potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaSkins21 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Won't know anything officially until the list of actives/inactives comes out @ 3pm. Hope he's able to go, but hopefully the other guys step up. WR is the one position where there's a lot of depth on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I love so far about Griffin (and I agree that the "so far" equals about 4 NFL quarters) is that he will throw to the open guy. Taking the screen passes out (where I don't believe there really is a read unless something goes very wrong), he didn't seem to make up his mind until he had to. The Garcon TD was designed to go to someone else (Paul). The long plays to Moss and Davis were just examples of Griffin buying time and waiting for someone to get open. It will be fun to watch who shakes free more often today. I think it's equally possible that Robinson, Morgan, Moss, and Davis all have 2-4 catches too.

Schefter said pretty much the same thing JLC said, Garcon is "unlikely" to play, but he will try to give it a go pre-game. I guess that for now we just have to wait and see . . .

He obviously wont take a pain shot if hes not playing and I'm not saying its his responsibility to do that but come on. When watching the last game after his first two catches he came out holding his hand and then a few catches later he hurts his foot. I just think sitting out for pain is weak, put your skirt on Garcon or get your ass on the field, this is football. I think people are crazy if they think this wont effect our offense.

RedskinsFanatic Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Of course I have no idea how much pain he is in..but if there is a way to play and perform and a (somewhat) high level...you put your pads on and get to it! Here is hoping he plays. ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd help if we knew the full extent of Garcon's injury. The 'man up, this is FOOTBALL!' and the like lines are hard to throw when we don't fully know what the foot injury is. Hail.

Well Shanny said its about "pain tolerance" and that it does not have a chance of getting worse, I understand Shanny doesn't tell us the entire story but I think if Garcon had some structural issues Shanny would say something so he didnt make Garcon look like a wus. You know when Shanny spoke about Garcon in his post game press conference after last weeks game from his facial expression I got the feeling he was frustrated with Garcon not coming back in the game and I got the same impression when he spoke about Garcon during his weekly press conferences.

That was more-or-less Florio's take on Gracon's injury situation this week. I'm not sure I read it that way. Garcon said he wanted to go back in on Sunday, and he has said all week long he wants to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
