[quote=Mattyk;904512]Garçon was definitely the #2 WR available in free agency, and demand for his services was high. Anyone that denies that is just a hatter.[/quote]

a mad 'hatter'?

Re: Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan
 

They may add another WR, but bringing in Royal would have meant the departure of Moss or Gaffney. Now they'll probably just keep them

So your thinking: Garcon/Hankerson/Moss/Morgam/Gaffney/Draft Pick/Paul? Robinson back to PS? Banks cut?

Garcon/Hankerson/Morgan/Moss/Gaffney

Robinson/Paul battling for PS (though I could see both making it and one being a constant inactive)

Austin, Armstrong, Banks gone

So who returns kicks? Moss? Hall? draft pick?

Paul most likely (or robinson)

^ Man, I prefer Robinson there.

Idk if he's ready, I mean in the one preseason game we saw him return kicks last year he fumbled twice. Not a good showing.

Which is why we need to draft a return man/slot WR similar to Royal... I agree that Banks, Armstrong, and Austin are done, but I don't think Robinson is the answer either (PS another year)... I think we keep 6 WR's Hank/Gaffney/Morgan/Garcon/Paul/Draft Pick (Moss is a June 1 cut)

Re: Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan
 

Banks fumbled a lot early as well. I just say keep Banks unless we draft a Joe Adams type guy. Can play slot plus return

[quote]The Redskins aggressively pursued Garcon (five years, $42.5 million contract, and Morgan (two years, $12 million) "knowing we might have to overpay," Shanahan said.

Why?

"His ability to run after the catch," Shanahan said. "His ability to come out of a break at full speed. He’s one of the few guys I’ve been around that can explode on the field, come out of a break with speed. Once he catches the ball, his ability to go to the distance."[/quote]



[quote]"Josh Morgan is a complete football player," Shanahan continued. "He can block. He can run. He can catch. He’s one of the most underrated guys that I thought was out there when I talk about a complete football player."[/quote]

Re: Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan
 

I mean, it's nearly impossible to predict what the offense will be capable of this season. It could be downright explosive if the chemistry between Griffin and Garcon, Hank, Morgan, Davis/Cooley and Moss/Gafney is already established. And if the oline gels together to improve the ground attack it could be just lethal.

...but questions abound. Will Morgan and Hank be healthy? Will Griffin be ready for the big stage? Who's our starting RT?

what shanny says about him and coming otu of a break is someting weve sorely lacked for yours. santana is his prime could have done it, but we never had a qb who could hit a simple slant in stride.

finally we at least have some WRs whoa re young and can do it and HOPEFULLY a QB who can hit them.

He also forgot to say that Josh Morgan is also coming off a serious ankle injury; very grotesque break from what I heard. I would have taken Eddie Royal over Josh, but whatever.
