More Peter King Madness

From his Monday Morning QB:

"I think the Redskins are officially out of their minds. Washington dealt a third-round pick this year and a fourth next year to San Francisco for wideout Brandon Lloyd. This is Lloyd's NFL résumé: three seasons, 105 catches, 14.4 yards per catch, 13 touchdowns. He is a nice deep threat with good hands. But didn't the Redskins already have one of those guys in Santana Moss? In fact, by signing Antwaan Randle El on Sunday (what?!!!!!), the Redskins now have four of the same receiver at spots one through four on the wideout depth chart. Check this out:

Player Height Weight Age
Brandon Lloyd 6-0 192 24
Santana Moss 5-10 185 26
David Patten 5-10 190 31
Antwaan Randle El 5-10 192 26

I'm not saying you have to have receivers of different sizes and shapes, but with the exception of speed, the Redskins, over the last 12 months, have dealt for two receivers (Moss, Lloyd) and signed two others who all fit the same profile. Wouldn't someone on the staff there say, Hey, maybe it's a good idea to get a taller, more physical receiver to play against some of the moose we have at safety in this division, like Dallas' Roy Williams?"

As to the big receiver - I know their is a lot of sentiment for that, but you know what? If you can get open, size don't matter.

As for worrying about Roy Wiliams - Not to worry Peter, we'll just run past him. Twice. In the last 2 minutes of the game.

if i remember correctly we had NO problem with roy williams last year ;)

I said something to that effect in his mailbag today. I'd like to see him address it.

Yeah Peter King is right. The Colts just suck with their sub 6' guys.

We are so stupid.

excellent sig schneed. excellent.

and yes, id really would love to see some kind of answer. i mean we've already discussed this ad nauseum and it's pretty obvious that if you have enough threats, you dont need people to be physical with eVERYONE.

Yeah Peter King is right. The Colts just suck with their sub 6' guys.

Haha

i hate this fool. he obviously has no sense in football. you take a 6 ft lloyd then add his vertical jump which is damn good and you have yourself a red zone threat and just a threat in general. can't wait till we make him eat his words just like we did with everyone last year.

Yo' Pete (and the rest of the anti-Joe/Danny crowd) how many Rings and Billions you got???????????? That's what I thought!

King was critical of the Moss for Coles trade also. Lotta good drafting big, physical receivers has done for Detroit. I'll take small and quick WRs over possession guys any day. Somebody should clue King in that Cooley is our possession receiver, and he'll roam much more freely in the middle with our speed at WR.

Not to mention King is the first to fawn all over the Patriots success with 3 receivers 6' or under. If our O-line stays healthy, Saunders will have this machine putting up 30 points per game. Let's see teams try stacking the box against Portis now!
