Diss Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 What I want to hear is that Pierre Garcon is ready to come back at full speed. We need him desperately, and Shanny seemed unsure he'd even be ready after the bye week. What an incredible disappointment that has been. He looked like a potential beast early on.

Wouldn't say it's so much a disappointment as it is just plain bad luck. If Garcon was known to dog it at times, or to be a malcontent, I'd raise my eyebrows. But he's a great competitor, fierce blocker, and even gave as much as he could in the one game he played after the injury. Players get hurt for large chunks of the season all the time. It just so happened that one of the guys we had get hurt was our biggest FA signing and a guy we were counting on. Sucks, but I think he'll be back and fine for next season at worst.

Fuzzy Dunlop Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I got a laugh out of the Brown jokes. Hopefully he is able to stay healthy but I seriously doubt it at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsCrushCowboys Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Garcon himself reportedly doesn't sound optimistic so I've all but given up on him for this year some tweets out there today, For what it is worth, did not sound encouraging. Hope they are wrong. Tarik El-Bashir @TarikCSN Garcon said his foot is better, but not good enough. Acknowledged season ending surgery is still a possibility. #Redskins #RedskinsTalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started the season feeling pretty good about our receiving corp. Now, with the injuries and the guys we DO have out there, it's once again one of the worst in the league. I just don't see how any team can win with this roster, no matter how good the "schemes" are. The dearth of talent on this team continues to be maddening. (And yeah, i just used the word "dearth.")

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 why so serious man? We all want him to succeed but acquiring him has turned out to be a mixed bag (being generous there). Besides we make jokes about every player lol Haha. I'm not trying to be overly serious, and I'm all for player jokes from time to time. It's just a huge pet peeve of mine when guys are legitimately injured and we somehow twist that into "this guy sucks/is soft/has no heart". See, Pierre Garcon. Some guys get injured, and it's not like they wouldn't rather be healthy and playing at a high level. Here we have a ProwBowl left tackle, and I feel like some people would rather him go on IR in a week just so they can make funny remarks on ES. It's kinda like this whole Shanny mess from the last couple of days. Fans that didn't want him here, etc. can't wait to post about how right they were, blah, blah, blah. Any way you cut it, we would be in a lot better shape if big Jammal can pull this off. I'm not really expecting him to, but I'm pulling for the big fella.

TSO Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 why so serious man? We all want him to succeed but acquiring him has turned out to be a mixed bag (being generous there). Besides we make jokes about every player lol The problem is, they aren't just "jokes". If it was all about shiznits and giggles, it wouldn't even be an issue... but, man, the hate some of our players get for being hurt. It even started a little bit with Garcon, with people calling him soft and whatnot. The posts are clearly made in anger, and have little to do with joking. We should be able to laugh about weaknesses in players, the problem is, those weaknesses are what is taking so seriously and the players are destroyed for it when 90% of the time it's not their fault. Guys like Haynesworth and McNabb deserved our ire because they came here and didn't give it their all... but guys like Doughty shouldn't be bashed because he clearly is trying his best and he's all thrusted into a starting job when he's meant to be depth. Same goes for Brown. We act like he wants to be hurt. ---------- Post added November-6th-2012 at 02:30 PM ---------- Haha.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I think he would have been...maybe with the new IR rule he can come back?? :whoknows: Brown was on the PUP list, not injured reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJL Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I would say the thing with Brown is that he's basically trying to shake off the injury he had in NO years later. It would have been better for us if he's accepted it as a career ender and retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can anyone argue that Brown is not better than Polumbus? He's a ProBowl left tackle. IF he is healthy and can play at a high level, he will not only beat out Mr. Polumbus, but he will acnhor the right side of the line. I think people forget how good he was pre-injury. He was one of the best linemen in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WheresRickySanders83 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Saying that Brown is a Pro Bowl LT is like saying Santana Moss is a Pro Bowl WR because he made the Pro Bowl in 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzSkinsFan63 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Last I heard Brown's surgery went really well this time..We'll see I guess..Not sure if the guy really wants to play or his hip was that bad..Ha..ha.. Same with Garcon...geez we got one good game outta the guy so far. Does the NFL put some of our players on a special payroll..LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirtyfive2seven Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I think the case with Brown is that he tried to play way before he was ready because the team desperately needed him. As a result he's been injured. I hope that he doesn't rush back and that he can still play at a high level. The real question is how does everyone feel the Polumbus has been doing?

darrelgreenie Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I never thought he was ever that good for us.Anyone know how he's been ranked among other right tackles since he has been here? IIRC he was either slighty worse or even with Polumbus last year. Imo he doesn't bring much to table except an improvement at swing tackle that will make Jordan Black dissappear.
