Burgold Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I really don't get everyone's hate for Garcon - he's tough, healthy and been clutch for us and fights tooth and nail for contested balls - I'd hate to lose him. If he went we'd really miss him My only qualm with Garcon is that his concentration seemed off before Jackson/Reed came back and we started winning. The drops and inability to get open during that stretch make me wonder if he was half-hearting it. OTOH, he was a major, major player in the streak that got us to the playoffs. A ton of clutch catches, big first downs, and receptions despite major hits. I want Garcon back and I root for him. I expect him back and think he, Jackson, Reed, and Crowder make a fearsome quartet. They lack a bit of size, but that's a lot of talent. More, I want Cousins to get the fairest test possible before we sign him to his next contract and that means I want him to have good talent. Besides, I like winning. It's so much better than the alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportjunkie07 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 It would be wise to find his replacement first. Roberts has been a huge disappointment but our receiving corps is non-existent at best as it is currently constructed, with the exception of DeSean Jackson of course. Receivers of Andre Roberts caliber (or at least what he has shown the last couple seasons) are a dime a dozen in the nfl. Draft his replacement and throw the kid I'm the fire. I don't expect that person will do any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now we have Jackson, Garcon, Crowder, Ross, and Grant who would begin ahead of him on the depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 First off, finding Roberts replacement? OLS ha-ha ha, that's awesome. Anywho, screw these over paid, late model leaders. Smith, Baker, Bash all played with these guys, are young. It's their team. They're the leaders. Kerrigan and Hall. It's also Cousins team, not some Overpriced FS who brings it in the locker room. Chemistry will come with wins. We've got our teams core. The future is neigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice_of_Reason Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I don't expect a Roberts replacement would play. Right now we have Jackson, Garcon, Crowder, Ross, and Grant who would begin ahead of him on the depth chart. Assuming they all come back, Jackson, Garcon and Crowder are your starers. The problem is that Grant is kidnof the next-in, if somebody gets hurt. And Grant, while a good route runner, scares exactly 0 people. Ross has tons of speed, but he has to develop. Crowder could move outside, but he's going to be best in the slot, just because of his skill set. I think that they are going to try and find another WR, because you need 4 who can really play, and right now they have 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mayor of Fed Ex Field Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I agree, and I really think we should/will give Mike Wallace a look. One or two year deal, incentive laden. The Redskins are a contender now. We can tell an incoming FA to come in and help win, especially talented ones, who have already been paid and need to prove their worth. This is what the Patriots do all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon they'd have taken a look at Sanu. Problem is the WR market sucks so he'll get way overpaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Well Hell. At first look, I read Golston, and I was like 'FINALLY! Waited 10 years to see the back of Highway 64!' Then I squinted my eyes and found it was Goldson. Which drew a sigh and a little fist pump after what I mistakingly read. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss_Hogg Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Kedric is a good dude with high character. Plus, he's cheap. And most importantly, he's the last player from Gibbs 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velocet Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 For too long our team was derided as "Off-season Champs." Well going forward we'll have that AND the other. Bank it. velocet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Good thread but I wish rule 8 was followed. I wonder if Johnson's attitude had anything to do with his release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinC Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Alfred just a matter of time ... I wonder what they are waiting for. Alf is a free agent. He's out of contract already and while it's not impossible he ends up back here if he can't find a strong market for his services, it's unlikely.

MartinC Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 You don't think anyone is interested? I think he will have a market and almost certainly sign with another team. I don't think it will be for big money though. If the price drops enough it's not out of the question he comes back here but again I'd be very surprised.

skins island connection Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 We see it every single year with alot of players; a player is productive for a few years, then has an off year, now that player is washed up, a bust, not worth it anymore, and so on. Morris is a very good back, and yes he had an off year. We watched games where he seemed timid to hit the hole or cut back the wrong way, and in my mind it was partially the line and yes his fault as well, but the impatience that teams have floors me. Would he flourish anywhere else? Thats hard to say, but he was a big reason we made the playoffs in 2012, and even in the years after, he still put up good #s despite having no QB or passing offense. There are teams where he would be a huge benefit to, but others may depend on him and him alone to get them somewhere, and he's not that kind of back.

This guy flourished after we cut him... The Chicago Bears are re-signing starting cornerback Tracy Porter to a reported 3 year deal worth $16.5 million. Last season Porter played on a 1 year deal worth $870,000, so we can assume the Bears were very happy with his 2015 play. http://www.windycitygridiron.com/2016/3/9/11189198/chicago-bears-re-sign-tracy-porter-jacquizz-rodgers-and-nick-becton I mean we thought he was done ...

Koolblue13 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Morris is a zone only shanny back, whos numbers have significantly declined every year. He also has a lot of miles, doesn't catch or block well. He'll be signed by someone and I wish him luck. Great story, better person. **** Porter.

Yea, he isn't the best pass catcher, i'll give you that, but overall his yards haven't dropped THAT much, IMo. 2012 1613 4.8 2013 1275 4.6 2014 1074 4.1 2015 751 3.7 Yardage dropped off an average of 10 yds per game, but considering he WAS the offense in 14' & 15', with no QB help and defenses keying in on him due to the lack of an aerial game, I wouldn't call it a decline as much as a speed bump. He was in and out of the game alot in 15', but he always was productive. One thing that did concern me last year was his hesitation in the backfield, but again, I think it was simply an off year for him, as every player in the league goes through that phase.
