(Merged Thread) Robert Royal

He's playing hurt, but I think he's average even when healthy. Given how thin we are at the position, I doubt he will get cut this year.

give him da boot!!

he should definitely get benched...those 3 drops were the easiest catches i have ever seen. there was no one around and they were right to him

Robert Johnson, i actually like that guy. Big, CATCHES and Royal is really not helping us at all.

"All I wanna know is, who's coming with me"

theres already a thread about this, but yea royal blows, start johnson

TE #2 is still a need.


I really think this offense is just a #2 wideout and TE away from doing great things.


You know, not to beat the "we should have drafted this guy" into the ground, but ...

Imagine if we took Shawn Merriman instead of Carlos Rogers, and Heath Miller (TE, Virginia) instead of Jason Campbell?

Rogers and Campbell could be members of the Ring of Fame at Fed Ex Field some day, I know. But hey, a Redskin fan can dream, can't he?

In context though, A Gates was dropping passes today too, maybe a wet ball?

It's really just excuses for my frustration with the losses.

It would be nice and I understand your point, but I can also see why Gibbs drafted the people he did.

Jesus, I didn't realize Robert Johnson is 6'6" and 278 pounds. Can anyone saw jumbo package?

Can the guy block, catch? What's scouting report on this guy? I'll be the best friend of anyone who can post it.

Some old stuff I found:

http://www.masterplangroup.com/Robert.Johnson.htm

Scouting Report: Johnson's frame, athleticism and soft hands fit the prototypical NFL tight end mold. Football skills warrant a first round choice. Robert is a terrific athlete who looks like a man amongst boys on the field. He is big, powerful, and a dominant blocker at the line. He catches the ball very well in traffic and has outstanding ability to break tackles after the catch. Johnson possesses solid fundamentals in every facet of his game.

Robert Johnson is a big tight end who has the size and long arms to develop into a good blocker. Junior. Needs to get stronger in order to become a more effective in-line blocker. Needs a lot of technique work. Decent underneath receiver for his size. Uses his size and can catch. Flashes some run-after-the-catch ability.
