[scruffylookin]

If this were to come to pass, the thread created that day would be epic.

Unless both Kelly and Thomas look like crap, I just don't see the reason why we need to go out and get TO. Are they so bad that we can't survive 4 games if Moss is indeed suspended? Really?

[Skins-Canes-Mounties]

This is news?

One guy TWEETS that ANOTHER GUY THINKS that Owens MIGHT sign with the redskins. I mean, come on!

I mean King just says that he wouldn't be surprised if the Redskins sign him. That isn't even sayign that sources say the Owens will sign!

There is so little news happening in the sports world right now that these guyes are really grasping for stories and clicks to justify their paychecks.

I usually post tweets like this so people can discuss what they think if it were to happen. That is why I put in the thread title "hunch".

[kappaluvacee]

I'm listening to Perter King right now on sirius NFL Radio. He hasn't said anything about it. He usually shares his nuggests on the show.

[Polo3]

Well I hope Peter Kings hunch is on point!!!!!!!!!!

[erock353]

I really don't know how I would feel about this. At first it would be tough, but after a little
time has passed I'd be routing him on. If him & McNabb can come here and win a title, I'm down.

[ATLredskin]

This is a just a straight up guess hoping he can say "I was the first one to call it"...dont make much of it people

The tweet isn't the news, the fact that Peter King wrote it in MMQB is the news.

Correct...and we need to have something to talk about on ES too...I think we all are ready for some football.

Which route would you like to see him run :silly:

Not gonna happen.

If this were to come to pass, the thread created that day would be epic.

Unless both Kelly and Thomas look like crap, I just don't see the reason why we need to go out and get TO. Are they so bad that we can't survive 4 games if Moss is indeed suspended? Really?

Agreed if we bring in TO that says ALOT about how Shanny feels about DT and the Comb. Its only 4 games and IMO Bobby Wade, JG, Roydell Williams or T. Austin could step in and do enough to fill Moss' void.

But could you imagine if we did sign Owens...how much media attention would shift from Haynesworth to T.O? That might just calm the waters enough to get AH on the same page as the F.O and coaching staff....just IMHO.

[Dan T.]

To me Terrell Owens doesn't have the disposition to assume a supporting role on the downside of his career. Some veterans can self-assess their waning physical skills, check their egos, and adjust their game to continue on in the NFL in a different capacity. Owens has shown no signs of being able to do that. He'll always need to be the prime target and the center of a passing game's attention, and if he's not, he'll cause problems for whatever team is stupid enough to sign him.

[Polo3]

Not gonna happen.

Well I guess we can close this thread, TK has spoken :silly:

[Long n Left]

So, PK "thinks" he has a hunch, but he doesn't know if he has a hunch...hmm, I think I have a hunch that King will put a hurtin on a tomato mozzarella salad, a giant plate of pasta, and two martinis before 2 pm. EST. Just a hunch...

[DGREENHULK]

Not gonna happen.

Ok close the thread :silly: the man has spoken. Im really on the fence about T.O...half of me would love to see him in B&G and the other half is glad TK posted this.......

[jthor99]

It's a passing league so adding TO would make sense in that regard.

I just not sure if Allen/Shanny want to bring in the media hoopla that would come with the signing

[The Tris]

Peter King, with all his access, is still nothing more than a glorified fan who's guesses are only slightly more educated than ours.

Do we have to go into the Brett Favre saga (http://www.slate.com/id/2225648)? The one player he has been closest to his entire career, he ended up having absolutely no inside information or reading on what he would do.

Players go to Peter King to promote charities and rehab images, while all the real news goes to Schefter.


Peter King:Adam Schefter::Kathy Lee Gifford:Brian Williams.

Unless both Kelly and Thomas look like crap, I just don't see the reason why we need to go out and get TO. Are they so bad that we can't survive 4 games if Moss is indeed suspended? Really?

I honestly don't know if they are that bad or not but playing devils advocate why would they draft a late round WR if they had two budding stars plus Armstrong who the team has been raving about having a nice camp so far? Why would they pick up Galloway, Wade, and bring in the few UDFA's?

I know everyone has their hearts set on seeing what the two 2nd round draft picks can bring but this is exactly my point. If they were such awsome players right now why they still be looking into other WR's? I don't care really if they pick up T.O. so long as Shanahan puts stipulations in his contract regarding being a cancer. If Moss has to sit a few games I'd like to see a vet with some talent on the field and I'm not talking Galloway or Wade. They honestly don't impress me.

[VRIEL1]

Ok close the thread :silly: the man has spoken. Im really on the fence about T.O...half of me would love to see him in B&G and the other half is glad TK posted this.......

Yeah right.

McNabb wasn't going to happen either. Half the other moves we made were not going to happen either. Belive what you want. When the season starts with out him I'll belive it.

[worstSeat]

Correct...and we need to have something to talk about on ES too...I think we all are ready for some football.

This really is the worst time of the year to expect productive conversation on the board. I'd like to see the WaPo website hits when Mr. Mayor posts his weekly Albert "rumor". The hits must go through the roof or they wouldn't keep doing it.

Same here. DC! TO! LMNOPBBQ! Chaos ensues.

We should start more.

Trent Green spurns Bears, considers return to DC.
Vince Young may be traded to DC for McNabb and McCoy.
Bill Romanowski considers return to league to help DC with 3-4.
Could DC trade Trent Williams for Robert Gallery?
etc etc

Vince Young to the Skins? Wow. It could happen. I heard something about it here (http://www.extremeskins.com/showpost.php?p=7545384&postcount=25).

[NewCliche21]

Not gonna happen.

You just made my offseason. :notworthy:

[MWCREDSKINS]

I wish Seattle would just sign him now to end this. I don't want TO and feel he has no place on this team regardless of what happens to Moss

[Geneva]

Moss may be suspended for 4-6 games. The other WR don't have a lot of game time. I think TO would be outstanding. 12 TD as a Redskin WR this season.

[MEANDWARF]

Hunch + $5.00= Coffee at Starbucks.

[Mad Mike]

*#%& Peter King. *#%& TO.

Good grief people. Get over the big name. TO sucks at this point. He's not a good route runner. He drops WAY too many balls. He's too much trouble. And he wants WAY too much money. :doh:

[SWFLSkins]

Not gonna happen.

I don't know what you do or don't know, but I would tend to agree with you. From a PR standing alone that move makes no sense. Snyder is already considered the Dirk Dasterdly of the NFL and this would go along way in cementing that image. The team recently hired a PR guy but I don't think he is a magician.

[JustAfan47]

Oh my Peter was right!!!..... Well almost it wasn't TO but we did add someone to are roster..

Uuuuummm..... No I dont get it.... It's to much to know.

[Zguy28]

I usually post tweets like this so people can discuss what they think if it were to happen. That is why I put in the thread title "hunch".There was a thread a week or two ago about how everybody felt about a possible TO signing. I think this would have probably been better off as a bump on that instead of another thread based off a tweet. :2cents:

[JTC228]

I have a "hunch" TO will not sign with the Redskins.

[Dblock804]

Well I know if Bruce and Mike are contemplating this T.O. thing it’s not a good idea.

[TysonM]

T.O. seems more interested in the social scene than in preparing for a kickass NFL year in 2010...

So, no. His best years are behind him.

We already have a Big Baby in Al...

[CG]

Why aren't we signing Lebron James as our #1 WR? I've heard some subdued rumors that he's about to be a free agent.

[KingGibbs]

I have a hunch that I am going to lose five pounds tomorrow morning due to my high intake of fiber today.

[Johns Bass]

I wish Seattle would just sign him now to end this. I don't want TO and feel he has no place on this team regardless of what happens to Moss

Word around the radio (Hugh Millen) campfire out here is that the only way the 'Hawks even look at him is if TO is interested in an incentive loaded deal at the league minimum. I would not be surprised if that is about the same sentiment in 31 other cities. And before people get carried about Hugh's lack of being an authority, let's face it, this is not exactly what anyone would call a news flash.

TO, on the other hand, can just wait and see who runs out of receivers first due to injury or suspension and say, 'How do you like me now?' If he signs with someone today - how many snaps does he really see as compared to coming in as the player to be named later? And if he does not sign at all I doubt he will be destitute.

[NewCliche21]

I'm sad to admit I know that name. :silly:

Hahaha, your signature kind of told me that you would know what it meant. ;)

[Jim Bob]

I have a hunch that Peter King's hunch will be right.

Too many things have gone well this off season. There is bound to be a major WTF moment or two!

[VRIEL1]

Well, McNabb was the first. AH was the second. T.O. might be a third.

[RedskinsNation]

If Schefter tweets it...i would believe it. Knowing how Schefter and Shanny are tight.

[CallMeGreen]

Not gonna happen.


So, PK "thinks" he has a hunch, but he doesn't know if he has a hunch...

In the world of accurate Redskins information,
TK >> PK by about a country mile or so.

[Coach Janky Spanky]

TO is not good. He hasn't been for a few years.

It's been years (if at all) since he has been worth the locker room headache he brings.

[Stew]

Instant upgrade at the WR position if we bring him here. Im for it as long as its cheap. Im notsure of how much of a locker room headache he was in Buff,grantedhe didnt put up greatnumbers there either, but he stood behind Romo and wasnt that big of a destraction in Dallas. Im for it. Depth at the WR position is a good thing. We missed tthe boat on Boldin,we missed the boat on Marshall, we need quality atthe WR position, especially if Moss misses some time

[VRIEL1]

TO is not good. He hasn't been for a few years.

It's been years (if at all) since he has been worth the locker room headache he brings.

Funny, You bring up how T.O. is not good or has not been for a few yrs, then skip over his last few good teamate yrs to jump to him being with the Eagles to easily say he's a locker room headache. Hmmm. How fair is that?

How about we be fair and say he had a crappy QB last yr and didn't prduce. Same could be said of Thomas and Kelly. ;)

[barefoot]

Not gonna happen.

He's not even sure if it's a hunch. :rotflmao:

[Ashburn Dave]

I would be OK with a TO signing. He would be motivated against the Cowgirls and Eagles and he has to realize that this would probably be his last opportunity.

[styx491]

This is 100 percent correct.

Can we start calling him Quasimodo now that he has a hunch?

[SteelNeil]

I have a "hunch" that Peter king will need Quadruple bypass surgery.

[bulldog]

If Owens were just a 35 year old receiver with his career numbers I think the Redskins WOULD sign him for 1 year.

But the fact he is the 'team-wrecker' of the past decade I think puts his status on Washington with Shanahan in charge as a 'non-starter'.

[HailGreen28]

Can we please stop talking about signing 30+ year-olds?

Anything to help the team.

I think TO was the scapegoat in Dallas not the cause of their problems.
And he wasn't a problem in Buffalo.
With the strong our strong HC and coaching staff and TO's maturity i wouldn't be against a possible signing because i believe we have the structure to manage TO if the need arose.

The fact remains that TO is a productive receiver and we could use an established WR who knows the WCO regardless of wether Moss is suspended or not.
Ownes had 55 catches 829 yard 15.1 ypc 5 TDs thats more then Kelly and Thomas combined and those numbers came with Trent Edwards and Ryan Fitzpatrick at QB.

And TO's work ethic is unquestioned and would be a good example for tour emerging receivers an example of how a professional trains and takes care of their body.

[Mr. Sinister]

I just hope the o-line is up to snuff by week 1, because if Moss is suspended, we're gonna have to rely on the run a lot more than expected. Hopefully Kelly and Thomas prove me wrong, but it doesn't look good for Thomas ( hamstrings as usual), and when asked about MK, Shanahan didn't really speak glowingly of him.

[Califan007]

"I think this is just a hunch..."
WTF? How can you think you have a hunch? lol :ols: :doh:...You either have a one or you don't.

[seantaylor=god]

I wouldn't have a problem with signing TO to a cheap contract on our terms. He's a good WR still. And he didnt cause any problems in Buffalo (and they were horrible).

I'd rather Kelly and Thomas become breakout stars, but if that doesn't happen we could do a lot worse.

Also, I've always kind of assumed at least one of them would turn out to be a great WR-but why should I get my hopes up? There are plenty of WRs drafted in the 2nd round who didnt end up being anything special and our scouting of WRs in the past under Vinny has been horrible.

[rk3025]

Was hoping we would find a Fitness Expert so that injuries would be at a once in a month thing not already preseason.

I just hope the o-line is up to snuff by week 1, because if Moss is suspended, we're gonna have to rely on the run a lot more than expected.

[jflow78]

You know what would be absolutely the perfect ending of TO's career, if we were his only option, and we didn't bite. Then he'd have to drift away with no one watching while his adolescent screams for attention were ignored completely. I would just love my team for watching him float on by and past the line at the end of his career.

Oh, and I have a hunch that Peter King will play "Pizza the Hut" in the Spaceballs remake.

[Chicken Fried]

I really don't know how I would feel about this. At first it would be tough, but after a little

TO is old, still has poor hands, and has nothing going fir him except experience and speed.

Unless both Kelly and Thomas look like crap, I just don't see the reason why we need to go out and get TO. Are they so bad that we can't survive 4 games if Moss is indeed suspended? Really?

Yeah!..They're that bad. You probably got receivers on alot of teams who come off the bench and get more production than these do. Why do you think Campbell had to throw so much to Moss and Davis?

[WARPATH85]

I want to sign him and then when he scores on Dallas, he runs to the middle of the field on top of the star!..Please get a close up of Jerry Jones mug!

You best believe if Owens is on the field, Corners and Safties will notice. They have to!..If you're a Corner defending him, you're going to play off him, and most guys were still giving him 10 yards. QB can easily hit him on those Skinny Post, plus he go open up alot of space for the Slot, or Cooley/Davis dragging across the middle.

[WARPATH85]

It's a passing league so adding TO would make sense in that regard.

I just not sure if Allen/Shanny want to bring in the media hoopla that would come with the signing

If they did, it'll be the #1 highly watched game ever between the Redskins, and Eagles.

[BigMike619]

PFT is now reporting that "TO is flirting with the Bears"

truth is that in the offseason all of this is just a way to get them attention. Nobody but TO and the people he talks to really know. Just like all those "inside sources" or "sources close to...." know about everything its all just gossip and rumors.

[robotfire]

Not gonna happen.Oh, thank goodness!

[rk3025]

Probably Chicago Bears.

Oh, thank goodness!

[Burgold]

They've been having this hunch every year for at least the last 5 or seven

[Hail_Skins]

First of all he is a Cowturd in my eyes! (not in my eyes that would get infected)

Second of all I can't remember the last time I saw him play all that great.

Third, I absolutly want no more publicity for the skins. We've got enough with AH and Moss now. Every year folks are talk'n bout the skins big name signs we fall on our face! :rant:

[Section123OnSundays]

If he can stay healthy, I think Kelly can be an animal. I don't see Thomas being much more than a 3rd receiver with some end arounds and WR screens in his bag of tricks...

[icbmayday]

Tweeting hunches...enough said

[bulldog]

Peter King said that Danny Wuerffel would throw for 3,700 yards in 2002 and supplant Donovan McNabb in the Pro Bowl.

So much for his hunches :D

[Fat Stupid Loser]

I really don't know how I would feel about this. At first it would be tough, but after a little

Why would we bring in McNabb and then kick him in the sack?

[Mad Hatter]

I have a hunch we'll all go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning ... Seriously, can we, or some other team, sign him already before the suspense kills us all?

[Arsenic]

First of all he is a Cowturd in my eyes!

Conjunctivitis! :silly:


Speaking of turds, though, does the media suck this bad everywhere? or is it just here?

[bulldog]

Oh great, Bears fans criticizing the Redskins for giving up a #2 pick for McNabb :laugh:

So, those two #1 picks for Jay Cutler worked out well :rolleyes:

Thomas can be a monster when he get the ball in space. I still remember that 70 yard touchdown that was called back on Stephon Heyer

[polywog999]

For someone who doesn't play for the Skins, TO sure gets a lot of bandwidth usage on this board. :silly:

[Potato Sack]

I hope you're right. Let's squelch the notion that TO might actually be a Redskin. "a hunch", "a rumor", whatever. I just can't envision a bad apple like TO running his mouth in the locker room. :doh:

Peter King is always trying to stir up something. Of course he wants a locker room dysfunctional teammate coming to Washington, it would make him so happy.

Not just in space, either. My two favorite plays on offense last year were the sick 30-ish yard play he made on a screen pass, I can't remember the opponent right now, but he juked and spun and fought through like 5 guys, and his 30-yard reverse for a TD against the Giants. He has the skills. He just needed the QB and the Coach, I hope.

Against the Broncos if anyone cant watch it for some reason.

Yes, that's the one! That play reminded me of Brandon Marshall so much, hopefully DT has that kind of potential in this offense, with McNabb. Between that one and the reverse TD vs. the Giants, I hope we'll see more similar plays this season.

Let me speak real slow, so that TO fans can understand...
He is not coming to the Skins!
If he does; you can pay me $1,000,000.00... uh... because I said.

[Laxpunk2006]

He was uncovered on the play if I remember correctly.

That's how I remember it as well. I'm not impressed by that play but his screen against Denver was an amazing individual effort.

Didn't Shanny come out and say that they evaluated slightly then decided to go in another direction? I thought that he said pretty definitively that the 'Skins were not interested...

[Adam291]

Watching those replays, Devin Thomas reminds me of Adrian Peterson in how he fights hard for more yardage and doesn't ever want to go down. I'm not saying he's as good as AP, but I like that style of taking a couple hits and shaking tackles. We need more of that, and I prefer to stick with who we have than to sign even more aging vets. It's possible/likely that neither DT or MK will be a star #1 WR, but the two together can be a pretty good tandem, and add in the TEs, we have a decent receiving corps. Certainly good enough that we don't need TO.

This entire post, I couldn't have said it better! I agree.

[VRIEL1]

LOL, T.O. on the NFL network. "I love me some me." LOL.

They asked who he wanted to go work for and he said a contender. Then they asked him if he could work with the Redskins, McNabb, and the large stable of RB's the Skins have and he said "I'm available." LOL.

The more I see him the more he makes me laugh. I really hope for whatever reason the Skins do pick him up. I'd love to have a "he's my QB" moment. LOL.

[JustAfan47]

Somebody post we are ranked #22 according to pft in madden ratings. Im not sure how and dont want to get reamed for doing it the wrong way..Some talk about our rating going up because of Mcnabb, and them going down....Thanks

[DieHardSkins88]

madden ratings tend to go by how they did last year. not really taking all of the moves each team has made and then thinking about how that could or couldn't impact the team into account.... thats what the updated rosters are for

[Luvdmskinz]

yeah i knew that but thanks for commenting...I know they usually post madden stats on here but wasnt sure how to do it correctly...GO SKINS

[Section106]

Wouldn't TO already be at OTAs if the 'Skins wanted him? Our new coach loves competition and offseason attendance so what's the hold up? TO will not be a Redskin.

[Luvdmskinz]

Shanny says no crying about his quarterbacks!! LOL

[stoney26]

We have enough drama without TO and with the likes of jreid covering the team I don want to even think about all the **** he would try to stir.

[bulldog]

I think all 3 receivers drafted in 2008 suffered from the coaching they received here the past 2 years. Yes, Thomas had maturity issues and Kelly has been hurt, but the same issues have come up with WRs on other clubs and experienced staffs are more adept than Zorn's was in coordinating the play of their younger pass-catchers and getting them on the field early enough to at least get a taste of NFL action.

We saw with Fred Davis that Zorn was just plain mistaken in his observation that Fred was not ready to contribute. Because that is what Fred did several weeks after that observation was made when Chris Cooley went down with an injury and missed the balance of the season.

While I cut SOME slack for Kelly due to the injuries (ie you can't properly coach an injured player), the staff definitely wasted time with Devin Thomas.

Whether they should have fed him audio tapes to wear around to learn the plays or taken him to a hypnotist to plant a subliminal message, Thomas SHOULD have been ready to contribute in at least some situations earlier on, such as Red Zone and routes down the field to open space for Moss and Cooley underneath.

Instead Zorn kept talking about individual players missing a route in practice over and over again.

How come coaches couldn't intervene and end THAT cycle? :)

Because they weren't effective teachers.

I think Shanahan (Jr) and McCardell will be and that is going to make a difference in the performances we see in the upcoming season.

[illone]

Throw in a new QB and the Skins receivers stock is on the rise this season.

Just say no to TO.

I completely agree.

But as for TO, I think he would make a great fit if McNabb was ready to embrace him as a teammate once again. I was watching some random youtube highlights yesterday, and saw a long Felix Jones TD from his rookie year that was made possible by a streaking TO throwing blocks all the way down field.

Shanny already stressed the importance of his receivers throwing downfield blocks, and there are few guys in the league right now with TO's size/strength combination and knowledge of the game.

[redskins55]

I honestly dont think our coaching staff is all that impressed with our Wide Receivers. T.O is a strong possibility.

[Johns Bass]

I have a hunch that TO will wait 'till the season starts and wait for the phone to ring when WR's start to drop due to injuries.

I have a hunch that PK's hunches garner as much respect as a PK who does not show up to OTA's.

[angel2]

Not gonna happen.



You might be right, but I would sign Terrell Owens in a heart beat.

Before, I was under the impression that Owens was a knucklehead and has never grown up. Then, I heard an interview and saw him look relax, intelligent with responses to questions directed at him. There's no doubt that Owens has the football smarts to still play this game. He's physical, goes over the middle if need be, blocks well and not afraid to mix it up. He still can play this game.

I believe all the negative comments about Owens is without merit and he has been made a scape goat. Aside from that, players such as Owens need to motivate themselves by inventing issues that really are just in their minds to spark the competitive juices. He would be a good pick up.

[Thirtyfive2seven]

Why not, they already signed every free agent washed up running back, offensive and defensive linemen, may as well get some old Wr's to throw into the mix.

[ConnSKINS26]

[styx491]

Joey Galloway.

[VRIEL1]

They've already done that with Galloway and Wade. T.O. still impresses me more then either of them, even if he was a problem child.

[VRIEL1]

Evidence? Didn't think so.

Well for starters if our coaching staff was so high on the WR's we had they would not have picked up Galloway or Wade. Then they went out and picked up Austin, even though he's also a KR. On top of all that they picked up Bankes.

People like to mention that the last two are specifically for KR/PR duties but they already told Buchanon that he would be the KR/PR, hell he's even excited about doing that. Plus technically that's the only job he really was great at cause supposedly he sucked at CB which is why the Raiders cut him.

I've had a hunch T.O. would be a Skin. Why the deal is not done already is beyond me but I just get the feeling perhaps T.O. is somewhat holding out for his 5-6 mill payday but maybe more importantly waiting for camp. If he were to show up now he would have to go through all the OTA's or get ridiculed like AH. I just think he wants to work out at whatever facility he likes during off season and will get signed when all the camps open.

[JustAfan47]

I've said it b4 I would not mind TO on the team i just think we should put more of a work load on DT, and MK. Geez every one in the East gets a trun on TO?!?!?!.... He is like some women I have known in the past that stayed in the same circle of guys.... ;)

[Spade]

Evidence? Didn't think so.

Just look around, and see who we picked up this year. JOEY GALLOWAY for starters lol

That's exactly it, he's holding just to see if he can't that kind of money from somewhere else.

Picking up Galloway or Wade doesn't say that much for or against Thomas, Kelly, or Moss as the other WRs.

It says that we only had three WRs after cutting Mitchell and letting Randle El go, and a veteran or two who know the WCO could help contribute in camp.

Galloway hasn't done anything of note since 2007, and Wade's an ideal 3rd or 4th receiver.

Brandon Banks is 5'7'' and 150 pounds and is likely total camp fodder.

You're reading way too much into these other WRs they've brought in.

Also, Buchanon hasn't been any kind of legit PR since 2003. I doubt he's our serious solution at that position.

[AllAboutTheU]

If we can get TO for vet minimum we should do it. The upside of what him and McNabb can do is undeniable.

No I don't think I am reading too much into it. Reports are Banks might be used on PR/KR but he's basically a WR. I'm sure if he's fast they will try to use him there also.

But lets let some other persons oppinions speak volumes of our two beloved WR Thomas and Kelly.....

From the Redskins Insider, Washington Post.....


Things have not been running as smoothly for the offense. The Shanahans (head coach Mike and offensive coordinator Kyle) are in the process of rebuilding the offensive line, purging former coach Jim Zorn's unproductive West Coast offense from the minds of players and trying to determine whether they have the right wide receivers on the roster.
Devin Thomas has a great opportunity to seize top billing among the wideouts, but he has been slowed by a hamstring injury at times. And when the chiseled third-year player has participated, he hasn't displayed the type of play-after-play consistency the Shanahans like to see from that position.
Malcolm Kelly, hasn't distinguished himself yet, but he's really only beginning his second season. He missed most of his rookie season because of knee problems, had micro-fracture surgery before last season and wasn't a good fit in Zorn's offense. There's plenty of time for the young fellas to make a move, and the Shanahans are waiting.

I kept saying what "if" the two are not panning out, do we have a contingiency plan and all I keep hearing is don't worry they will pan out. However from this article it doesn't sound like it.

I say it's time to bring in T.O. Start getting him used to the plays and play calls. Cut one of the old guys who is not doing as well either Galloway or Wade.

[LightningBuggs]

Didn't DT have the hamstring problem last year too?

If so, this isn't a good sign.

[SkinsCrushCowboys]

Evidence? Didn't think so.

while the coaches may not come directly out and say it, I think that it is safe to assume they are not completely sold on the WR's. Our young guns do not appear to be consistant and continue to fight injuries. Galloway is impressing. Don't forget about Cooley and Davis who will be lined up all over. I am NOT a TO fan, but I do think that for the right price the Skins would consider any WR who can push to compete and push the WR's.

Hail

I never forget TE but I don't put them as replacements for our WR shortage. The Shanahan's need all the weapons they can muster. Westbrook is yet another which is why he was offered a contract. I'll say in yrs past I too have not been a T.O. fan and right after his stint in Philli I said no we don't need the problems he brings. His stint in Dallas and Buffalo have reversed my thinking. Although some would love to have seen him as quiet as a church mouse and prestine or forget him, he has not been any more a distraction in his last 2 spots then Portis or AH. I'd bring him in at this point. He's the best available right now, and he needs time to learn the plays.

I have not heard anything in regards to Galloway but have heard that Wade was doing well. Even in todays tweets he caught a nice pass. Although so did Banks, you know the short guy everyone thinks is camp fodder. I keep hearing more about Armstrong doing well and also today Hodge made a nice catch in traffic from Colt.

I think you give them all of this year to pan out. Long-term, bringing in TO does nothing for this team. I think he has fewer years left to be "very good" than McNabb does, so I don't see the point.

To me, the goal at WR should be to find the 1-2 younger guys that you can build around. Having a Moss or a Galloway to supplement those players is great, but I don't think your entire WRs corps can be made up of older guys.

[crimetime21]

peter king is an idiot. i bought a s.i. fantasy guide and he quoted in his usual a-hole way about taking steve slaton in the first round and reap the rewards. well took his advice and slaton sucked ass. there are few football "experts" that never played a down of football or sports in general that i respect their opinions and he ain't one of them. everyone on the pregame show of nbc drives my nuts too. and the thing thats the worst is that he comes off as he thinks he's so intelligent about football. what a loser.

When did Jason Reid become the go-to reliable source for any kind of legit news? If Reid were that credible, Jason Campbell would still be around and Haynesworth would've been traded by now. So I'll take his "inside source text messages" about DT and Kelly with a grain of salt. Same way I'll take the stuff about the 3-4 under Haslett under careful consideration. It's all wait and see, but especially if it's coming from Reid.

And the first part of that bit about the offense states how the Shanahans have been busy trying to fix the mistakes that occurred under Zorn, and then goes on to talk about consistency issues that Thomas and Kelly have displayed. Well, maybe with a full off-season of real coaching within a real offense, like they're getting now, those consistency issues can be fixed.

Bringing in T.O. doesn't solve anything.

We're not honestly going for the Super Bowl this season. A guy like T.O. is a one year stop gap. That doesn't benefit us in the long run. Instead, it puts someone ahead of either Kelly or Thomas and leaves us with just more questions about their development.

It's sink or swim time for those two, so let's see what happens.

I didn't say he was the go to guru. I will say that if you can't take part of what he says and call him a retard and take the other half and say "I'll take it into careful consideration" just because you like what he's saying about that one part. Either take it all in and consider it or it's all hogwash, especially since he apparently doesn't know what he's talking about.

The only mistakes I've heard that Zorn has made was he failed to utilize decent plays. What I keep hearing is Zorn's offense was so bland everyone knew what we were doing. Heck even Cooley said he had only about 7 plays he had to learn. I keep hearing Shanahan's offense is a basic 7-10 plays but can be run out of many different formations. Apparently Zorn either didn't get that far or couldn't figure that out.

You right T.O. by himself does not solve anything. But.... if I had a choice between Galloway or T.O. I'd take Owens. Atleast Owens has been and is pretty close to still being a #1 WR. I'm also betting Owens has more talent then Wade. If any of the others; Thomas, Kelly, Armstrong or Austin can step up and do better then T.O. then move Owens to a different WR spot. Simply use him to go over the middle with his size. You were the one who said Owens is a one yr stop gap. Thats about what we need. Give both Shanahan's a yr to coach up Thomas and Kelly the whole while using them on the field.

I agree with you when you say we are not gunning for a SB or atleast thats my way of thinking. I've said it from the beggining we should be in rebuild mode and attempting to get younger, healthier, and faster across the board. Instead Allen and Shanahan believe we should be trying for the SB. They said it from the beggining.... we are not in rebuild mode. In other words they are doing what they can to make a run at the SB.

All I'm saying is I personally think Owens is a better back up plan then Galloway or Wade. Maybe even both. I'd say get rid of Galloway and Wade and bring in T.O. and have Moss, T.O., Thomas, Kelly, Armstrong. Maybe pick either Austin or Banks to be KR/PR/WR and put the other on the Practice squad.

[TheShredder]

The only reason TO wants to come to the Redskins is the same reason that all the others have and that's for a fat paycheck...The 2010 Redskins are no longer passing out Snydopoly Money to whomever is shiny! There is definitely a need for a No. 2 WR, but they will find it without bringing another media mongrel on board. TO would be good for about 700-800 yards and 6-8 TD's. That's a No. 2 stat line. They have to find a younger solution to the more permanent problem at WR and it's not at the expense of changing the tide of the new regime.
TO was let go by our rivals for a reason. He has earned no right to come to DC with his crap history. I want a WR solution as much as the rest of you, but TO.... HAIL NO!!!

[HailGreen28]

We've had one, count 'em, one good WR since 2006. Moss.

That being said, we need to groom our own WRs. Thomas or Kelly or bring in other prospects.

[Forever21]

With all these old vets coming in you have to wonder what kind of confidence the Shanahans have in our current WR's.

If they aren't impressed with what they see then why wouldn't they consider TO?

I know we want to build around young guys but if the young guys aren't all that talented (remember who they were drafted by) then maybe looking in another direction isn't the worst idea.

[bulldog]

the Redskins need to make a trade at WR.

that is becoming fairly clear by a look up and down the roster and seeing who has been added.

at this point Galloway, Wade and Furrey make me nostalgic for ARE :(
