Redskins Receivers Rotation

Yes it would, although I would hope that in the land where everything goes right for us, Armstrong would get the first shot at the third receiver over Moss. It might even make sense then to do some 4 WR stuff with a tight end in the backfield instead of a RB.

I think it would make sense. Lots of receiving options with some protection.

Thought this was a good read & something to keep an eye on.

A little disappointing that Gafney is #2. That to me is just awful.

1. It's a preseason depth chart
2. What's the big scare about Gaffney being #2?

Not that there's a scare, but would be nice to see one of the young guys stepping up big time and grabbing some playing time. Gaffney's not bad, hey much much better than seeing Galloway.

Well they draft 50 wr's then play them with the first team and see what they can do. Why draft all these guys and hand a journeymen the #2 spot? Just makes me shake my head.

I would fully expect Gafney to be #2 when the season starts. He's a solid vet, nothing spectacular but can make the catches to move the chains. After he & Moss, Stallworth & Armstrong are the two guys that I think will push for the starting spot. REally don't know what kind of wr Stallworth is at this point. Used to be a burner, but he's older & w/a long history of injuries.

Would love to see Hankerson grab it right off but it sounds like his dropping habit will keep him back.

Well Kelly is hurt and unfortunately probably done. Hankerson is playing his very first NFL game on Friday and should get considerable playing time this year, yet it's too early to start him.

The rest of the young guys (Austin, Paul, Robinson) were late round picks who at this stage in their career are probably more likely to find their niche on teams and for depth. As much I'd love to see a guy like Austin be our #2 or #3, that's probably not too realistic right now.

Further, I'm not sure what defines Gaffney as a journeyman

Gaffney had 65 catches as the Broncos #2 last year. I don't think it's a bad thing that he's the early favorite to be the #2, at least to start the season. The rooks have a lot to learn in a very condensed time period. Not sure it's reasonable to expect any of them to contribute a whole lot early on.

Disappointing? So you'd rather trade for a guy who can't contribute? Look at Gaffney's stats for the past 3 years, he's a solid contributor and has been the #2 for Denver with Royal and Marshall's regular absences from the field.

Moss, Gaffney, Armstrong, Hankerson

much better than

Moss, Armstrong, Galloway, Roydell Williams (2010)

and also better than

Moss, Randel El, Devin Thomas, Malcolm Kelly (2009)


Heck, I'd take it over Coles, Gardner, Thrash and Taylor Jacobs too.



This is the best WR group we've had since the Posse. Beyond those first four are solid depth possibilities with Austin, Banks, Paul, Robinson, Stallworth, Kelly...
