redskns21 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Chamberlin must be a real turd. I wonder if he will catch on with somebody else or if he is out of chances. Ahh, what could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golgo-13 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Originally posted by Dan T. Sure hope he can block. My hunch is that's why they are bringing him in. That is what everybody says Gibbs likes in a TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drex Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Koz fits the mold of the blocking TE utilized by Gibbs. Chamberlain was more of a pass-receiving threat and with his inability to trim down, I am not shocked to say the least that he is no longer a redskin.

sashae Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 If I recall correctly, his reputation with the Falcons was as a quality lead blocker... -s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Chamberlain may have a bit more upside as a pass catcher than Kozlowski, but, it can't be said that he does the sort of dirty work Gibbs looks for in his tight ends as well. I think many of us wondered if Gibbs was trying to salvage Chamberlain and now we know he can't be salvaged. Kozlowski is not a pass catching threat, but he's a pretty good blocker and role player so he should help a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. D Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Do we even have a "pass catching TE" on the roster? Robert Royal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Kozlowski has been their blocking TE for several years. Crumpler comes in for passing downs and Kozlowski for running plays. I was hoping that Chamberlin would have been more inclined to eat Jenny Craig than fatburger this offseason, but I guess I was mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness09 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Yeah, Chamberlin is a gluttonous fool. Could have been a stud for us if he could just reel it in and clean up his diet and exercise. Give me his physical attributes and see if I blow an NFL career eating myself to death. moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posse81 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Originally posted by Dr. D Do we even have a "pass catching TE" on the roster? Robert Royal? Thats the question, and I think that its Sellers if anyone. Royal can catch some, but I'm not sure if he's the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Kozlowski is 250 according to ESPN, Yahoo, NFL.com and Sportsline. I think someone just hit the wrong number there. Dr. D, as for our pass catching tight end, can you tell me who that during out last Super Bowl year? Royal, presumably, would have some upside as a pass catcher if he can stay on the field, but, as it happens, we've got just about the same sort of players now that we had last time Gibbs was here.

Canadian Hog Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Royal has shown promise as an all round tight end and I believe that he will be the guy we look to in terms of providing production as a pass catcher now. He's young enough, and certainly a guy who you hope at this point in his career is receptive enough to coaching. Obviously, we have to hope he can stay injury free for once. If we don't draft Winslow, then this is a definite sign that the staff has enough confidence in Royal's ability to provide us with an adequate receiving threat from the TE spot, as blocking is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the names Rasby and Kozlowski.
