Antonio Brown runs the 40 in 4.18

Daseal:

I don't remember which agent did this back in the 80s, but one of them had access to a track that was ever so slightly "downhill" but unless you put a level on the track you w0ouldn't notice it. So he had his prospects timed on that track and they did very well.

"40 times" need to be recorded under standard conditions if you want to compare them.


jamf:

I suspect that the Skins' coaches already know that Brown is very fast. So the question now is why he wasn't in the games as a WR since he is so fast.

Possibilities:

1. He can't catch a cold?

2. He can't learn the patterns?

3. He can't/won't block?

4. It wouldn't matter because the OL won't allow the Skins to throw deep very often?

5. The coaching staff is as dumb as a box of wrenches?


My guess is #4 with a little of #1 thrown in...

Leave it to SC to encourage people, uplift them, and make them feel proud to support the Redskins. Why he's our
cheerleader, our mascot, our wonderfully optimistic booster of spirits. He's the anti-Bill O'Reilly, anti-Dennis Miller, anti-Bill Maher, anti-Dennis Leary, anti-cynic....in short, he's SC.

Bottom line, Brown is fast.

get rid of morton, he hasnt done anything and hes way overpaid

I mean, Morton has had excellent blocking his whole stay in Washington... oh, wait. He didn't have any blocking last year and didn't get a real chance this year! Morton is still a great return man - this is one decesion I wouldn't want to make. What are the cap implications of letting him go as opposed to keeping him, anything?

I won't be surprised to see Morton gone this offseason.

Could we get a draft pick for Morton? Or, do we just release him?

Why not have them both back there? Maybe run a little trick reverse every now and then. While we've got them both, we may as well put them both to use.

So if we have picks in the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th rounds, and we're expected to get another 3rd rounder from the Gardner trade, I'd like to see us do the following:

Move down a few notches in the 1st round, picking up a 1st and a 2nd/3rd rounder.
Trade two third round picks (maybe even toss in a 5th rounder) for a reasonably high second rounder. We can then get two quality players who can step in and contribute immediately.

Brown isn't just fast he can stop and go on a dime, the guy defiently has moves and that's the biggest key the ability to make people miss and not just out run them, the first time I saw him run I was shocked I couldn't believe we were able to pick this kid up for nothing, I also knew it was by, by, Morton, he doesn't need to be a WR he just need's to return kick's, if he eventually work's his way into a wr great but the first time I saw him run I said sign him fast this kid is the good's.

Chad Morton is a Kick Returner. Bottom line, he's not a punt returner, if my memory serves me correct, I dont think he ever did punts in NY. I dont know what the cap issues are, but if Morton dosent save anything, I say we keep both of them back there on kick returns and let Antonio Brown do the punts. Now that would be a dangerous KO return team right there.

Exactly. And like I said before, run one of the fake reverses every now and then to keep the other teams honest.
