Still no TDs for our WRs

[Duckus]

We have zero TDs by any of our WRs for the entire season still. To be 7 weeks into the season and still not have a TD from your #1 or #2 WR is a little unusual. One of those things that makes you just scratch your head.


And just for fun:

Which game and which WR will catch the first TD?

I say - ARE against the Jets.

[TheGift]

Lloyd or Caldwell vs the Vikings

[Drop]

Santana Moss is gonna burn Asante Samuel deep this week for the first Wide Reciever TD of the year.

[D-Day]

Next preseason Game 1 4th quarter, A yet unnamed UDFA who will become the next fan favorite to be cut as a "difficult decision"

[#1njskinsfan]

i would like to think SM89 ASAP....but who knows.....

[d0ublestr0ker0ll]

ARE next week - quick slant.

What a bummer of a stat...

It's a pathetic stat that pisses me off. :doh:

[Heisenberg]

That's part of the problem with having such small receivers . . . Cooley is the much better target once they get down there. The Redskins don't run the type of offense that makes it easy for a smaller offense to score . . . the slant to ARE against the Lions was a few inches from being a score but they don't really run enough of those type plays to make it easy. The receivers also don't appear to be getting seperation down the field like they have in the past.

[PiLfan]

I wonder what the record is for most games into a season without a TD catch by a WR?

BTW, we're neck and neck with Buffalo, the only other team left without a TD catch by a WR.

No, it doesn't make me scratch my head. If the only pass you throw to your playmakers (WR) are 3 yd slants, then that's what you get. No TD's.

WR should get a touchdown against our opponent after the Pats. Heck, I thought Moss would break through and get multiple td's against the Cards.
Sigh, I guess I was wrong.

[LiveStrongSkins]

That has way more to do with the organization opposed to to the personnel. We got guys who can get open. Our passing game is extremely predictable and when you only throw 18 times, that means that realistically about 10-12 will be completed. Spread those around to all the playmakers and thats like 2 completions per player. Thats not enough for any wideout in the league to do anything. We are too worried about proving we can run down peoples throats, meanwhile Gibbs 2 has been defined by not closing out. Game after game, he feels that we will eventually run the clock out. Instead 95% of the time it is usually a 3 and out that only takes about 1 minute off the clock because the third down play is usually a very predictable pass call thats falls incomplete and stops the clock. It's frustrating. I feel that any other offensive staff in the league would LOVE to have Campbells arm and 3-4 speedy wide receivers to go with a top-10 TE. On top of that, Middle blitz's kill our pass plays since we hate the shotgun. More times than not, a linebacker or stunting lineman is in campbells face before he can read.

And people aren't making a big deal about this???

Yea its a stupid stat but the reality is this. The problem is shared amongst a few people but I am placing blame on Jason Campbell for this. Every single game we see him throw passes to our shorter WR's that are over there heads and totally uncatchable. Our WR's are under 6ft, but he throws them the ball as if they were 8 foot. I honestly don't think this is correctable for him. We need taller WR's because he isn't showing the ability to adjust to there small frame and get them the ball. If he didn't constantly over throw the WR's this stat wouldn't exist. But everyone wants to feel happy that we have our franchise QB instead of admitting this.

When Jason learns to throw to our WR's then I'll jump on his bandwagon. Until that happens I'll continue to see just another big armed QB with bad accuracy that will lose alot more games then he wins.

I right there with you man. :cheers:

This is kind of a clueless post. A few passes a game for ANY qb are going to sail. Warner has two big receivers and look at the pass Taylor picked off. Unlike the other QB's, we dont give Campbell a shot to be in a rhthym. Warner had 41 chances to make up for a few errant throws. Campbell is essentially asked to go out and be accurate in the most predictable of situations.

I agree that in a game a few balls by any QB are overthrown and sail on them but the number of passes that Jason does this with is more then he doesn't. And he doesn't have the range down for throwing the long bombs. I don't think he knows his own strength. The reason Moss can't get any passes to him is Jason can't make any throws to Moss. If you look at the passes caught by El they are 85% of the time thrown too high but El can make circus catches and holds onto the ball.

And your dead on when you mention the play calling not giving many chances but that will not ignore the times we see a wide open receiver that he rushes the throw to and over throws him. I can show you a lot of these times, a real NFL QB makes these throws everytime. I'm reserving judgment on Jason until he can consistantly show that he can play in this league.

[tbarz]

what happened to the scheme that they used versus Detroit?

to me this stat is equal to last year's sad interception/sack stats!

[Stophovr6]

I had no idea. That's kinda pathetic. No wait, that's really pathetic. ARE aside, our wide receivers suck ass this year. And no Cooley does NOT count in this.

[Bryan81]

And this WR touchdown-less offense is the same vaunted Al Suanders offense - right?

The same one that can't get a first down in the second half of a game not played against the Lions.:2cents:

That's certainly a nice way of putting it.

[TriangleSkinsFan]

So far this year after 6 games Redskins Defensive Cornerback Carlos "Stone hands" Rogers has caught more TD passes than all of the Redskins Wide Receivers combined. That whopping # is...

One.

How many pages would the 700 page playbook have if some of the pages covered TD passes to Wide Receivers?


In all seriousness....this stat worries the crap of me as a fan...... I want to be positive, someone help me out. This, plus the JG comments today about playcalling, the second half troubles, and the OLine injuries make the outlook seem grim.

But....Good teams find ways to win and the Skins are 4-2.....Hail!

I would say every play in the playbook is designed to go for 6. But then it comes down to how well you execute. Dropped passes, overthrown balls, sluggish sweeps that aren't blocked up well - these things aren't going to get you into the endzone.

I would just like to point it out that Campbell has hit WRs down the field in stride and the passes have been DROPPED. Has he over thrown some? yeah, but when he drops it in where it's supposed to be and the WR doesn't bring it in, who's fault is that?

[Portis4Lfe]

Im gonna put my money on lloyd, cuz all he does is run straight downfield or help with run blocking, but one of those time when hes sprinting downfield its gonna be a TD! Moss is just not healthy or mentally not himself cuz he has disappeared..hes just a decoy now. Good for ARE but I dont see him as a downfield threat yet..Im go with lloyd hahahaha how would u like LLOYD being the 1st receiver to catch a TD this yr?! Pandamonium 2007!

[CM916]

Moss got overthrown when he was wide open deep in week 2. Randel El hurt himself on that 4th down 30 yard catch and got stopped a yard short. Lloyd dropped an easy one in the endzone and laughed about it.

Other than that, they haven't had any real chances.

[Thoth]

ARE against the Pats.

A meaningless deep touchdown once we are already down 21 points or more. . .

Great coaching, once again. . .

The Pats take more deep shots in a quarter than we do in several games. . .

[SlinginSammy HOF '63]

McCardell should be in every play in the red zone. Also, why is Caldwell watching games instead of playing?

[Warhead36]

Has to be some sort of NFL record...

[TriangleSkinsFan]

Brandon Lloyd is a trendsetter :doh:

[RideorDieChic]

No TD by our wideouts!

I suspect that they are probably the best for last :rolleyes:

[mi6]

And, that is a telling sign.:point2sky

When that happens like it did in Green Bay its the WR's fault. But he's consistantly over throwing WR's more then they are dropping balls

[trez]

This is a truly frightening and pathetic statistic. And it must change.
