Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan

I could see that if Hankerson never gets healthy, and Moss ends up taking his reps in a fair competition with Morgan.

I would still bet on Morgan though. It's ultimately going to be Kyle's decision, but Mike's a big fan of Morgan.

If Hankerson is healthy and ready to go through OTA's, it's all going to be moot anyway. He'll never come off the field.This should make for an ultra competitive training camp for the WR corps that's for sure.
I consider whatever production we get form Hankerson as a bonus.

BTW, has it been reported where they're gonna play Garcon?
Because Garcon still seems like more of an Z then an X to me.

I'll be surprised if Hankerson or Morgan starts. One of my guys in the office is a longtime Niners fan and doesn't think Morgan is a starting-caliber WR, as in SanFran was more than happy to see him go. Hankerson's injury is a big-time question mark. If Garcon isn't at Z then Gaffney or even Moss will likely be the opening day starter.

Why does it sound like Hankerson is going to be Malcolm Kelly v. 2.0?

In an open competition I am betting on Santana. No defensive coordinator in the NFL would try to cover Moss with a third corner back. He has been less productive because it has always been double team Moss, because there is no other viable alternative. Hopefully with Garcon, Hankerson as threats and Griffin moving around in the pocket, we see a resurgence for Moss ala like Steve Smith 2011. Bye Bye Gaffney.

A rarity that I agree with everything you say here. Hankerson is the key to our WR position taking a big leap in production. Healthy, with a full offseason learning the offense and a full training camp he has potential to break out to be a 60 catch guy. If that happens it will open up vertical plays for Garçon and clear out underneath spaces for Morgan/Moss.

Geez I hope that's not the case. Hopefully Hank's hip injury was a freak thing and he eventually recovers. That said I've heard it's a long healing process and he/us would be silly to push too hard this season if there's risk of re-injury.

Please remember when we drafted MK he was already hurt.

Yeah he came with an injury red flag already in place.

Thanks again Vinny...ahole :)
