How About McCardell?
 

Man, the guy has been here all of 6 days and made 2 big plays in the passing game and I saw at least one block on a Portis run. I gotta give props to the vet coming in and contributing immediately.

Agreed.

Just goes to show you that Lloyd and Caldwell must suck something awful that a guy that's been here 6 days has a better outing.
McCardell is a class act, and knows this game...glad to have him here.

Re: How About McCardell?
 

Took him 16 years to finally do something for the Redskins. Maybe Lloyd just needs to be patient

:)

Re: How About McCardell?
 

Lloyd got a catch! I repeat, Lloyd caught a ball today! McCardell has always been a baller and it really doesn't take much for a vet like him to get with the program quickly.

I dont think it has anything to do with the performance of Caldwell, McCardell is one of the better recievers in league history.

Re: How About McCardell?
 

I think he is now our number 3 receiver....THOUGHTS?

Re: How About McCardell?
 

he is number 3 and Carlos not only held on but he scored he actually made a break on the ball. That is amazing.

I does have something to with the performance of Caldwell and Lloyd, but it also does have something to do with the fact that McCardell is a great WR.

I'm ready to announce him our #3 right now. He's still very productive, and he showed with a little more knowledge of the offense, he can be a serious threat.

We broke a lot of conceptions today.
Lloyd gets a catch.
McCardell on the team for 6 days gets 2 catches.
We had a pass rush.
We had 5 sacks.
We had 2 interceptions.
Carlos hung on to a ball. (we all knew he could run)
Gibbs and CO. decided to throw first, run second!
The defense holds one of the best offenses in the league to 3 points!
The defense holds a great passing QB to only 106 yards. (technically team had only 46 net yards passing)

A lot to be proud of today!

Jsarno....you really nailed it...
WOW...I feel like running up the Rocky stairs now!

WHA-HOO!!!
The Skins ROCKED!!

When was the last time we won a game that didn't come down to the wire?
Those are really tough to take.
I loved today!!

Yeah they are...so nice to get a sure thing for a change. I get tired of sitting at the edge of my seat for 30 minutes and HOPING we win. This was a no doubter.
A lot of people have said the Lions were really not very good...I am hoping it was because we were THAT good, and not that they were THAT bad.

Re: How About McCardell?
 

Let's hope he's not needed as #1 against the Packers. Perfect #3 right now. Wish we could have signed him in the summer. He's still got it.
Thrash 4 and Caldwell 5?

I guarentee Moss plays next week. He looked good in pregame warm ups but was kept out of the game to give him one more week to rest cause we need him for the rest of the season.
Question is whether ARE will be available?

Yeah, I was looking for something on ARE but haven't seen an update. What a first half he had! It's his year, he's earning his money, just needs to be more careful w/those punts.

I was disappointed that Caldwell didn't get a ball thrown his way. He got a lot of snaps though.

I don't think the Skins are happy with Caldwell...he's had a lot more time than McCardell to make it in the lineup and couldn't do it. Something is going on there that were really aren't aware of.

Re: How About McCardell?
 

I was all for picking up McCardell going back to the preseason.

He's a solid vet.

I couldn't remember who said it, must of been you, but I recall someone saying we should get him.
Good call Matty.

Re: How About McCardell?
 

with 2 receivers hurt, McCardell should get some pretty decent playing time for a while, but we have 3 receivers ahead of him, moss , randle el, and lloyd

When Los made that INT, and started running with the ball in one hand all the way to the house, I was yelling at him through the TV saying, "hold one with two hands while learning." LOL But anyway, nice to have a solid vet in McCardell on the team, maybe he can push the others to step-up their game.

Re: How About McCardell?
 

McCardell was very good today--what's more, he seems to have a good vibe with JC--JC was joking about Keenan in his presser.

Hopefully, ARE will be ok (he seemed pretty confident he would be in his locker room interview, but we'll see.) I feel confident about Moss as well, but he's a bit more fragile, so it pays to take it easy with him, IMO.

Re: How About McCardell?
 

Brandon who? This is looking to be a GREAT SIGNING!

And how about the MAN THRASH, HUGE GAME.

Re: How About McCardell?
 

This is how I see it long term
1 moss
2 ARE
3 McCardell
4 Thrash
5 Lloyd

Next week, I bet we go with
1 Moss
2 Thrash
3 McCardell

I know its only a hammy, but some of those take a week or two to clear for sprinters

McCardell simply is WAY more experienced, and has been good for years too..it showed itself today.

GO SKINS!!!

It's kind of interesting that both Saunders and Mccardell have said that KM has picked up this offense quickly because he benefitted from playing in a similar situation in San Diego...but wasn't Reche playing there as well?

Re: How About McCardell?
 

Really McCardell did exactly what I thought Caldwell was going to do this week. Did Caldwell even get a catch, or a look for that matter? Once again as long as we move the ball I'm fine. I mean even B. Lloyd got a catch this week! Even though that was only because ARE got injured.

Re: How About McCardell?
 

As Moss said,"they more the merrier."
McCardell is a great addition as is Caldwell and was Lloyd. Hopefully the story with Lloyd will unfold in a positive way. McCardell's tale is already storybook Gibbs miracle story. Drafted by Gibbs, etc.

And Jason Campbell quote concerning Keenan:

"Keenan plays with a lot of confidence," Campbell said. "He just comes in the game with hands-down confidence. He said, 'Hey, J, get me the ball. I'm going to get it.' He did that today, so what more can you ask from a guy who's only been here a week?"

Not a big Lloyd fan, he seems to still be trying to figure it out. He was really good in San Fran, but a crappy teammate and average worker..... Keenan is a terrific addition, was great for Jax, and the fact he's got it figured out already is impressive (no Skin had it figured out next year). Plus he's a bigger target than our dinged up smurf receivers, and he can play catch with Brunell and keep Mark happy (like the old days in FLA).

Re: How About McCardell?
 

[quote=Chief X_Phackter;360482]Carlos caught a ball too.[/quote]

Anybody else notice Brandon Lloyd saying, "He caught it!", when Carlos got that pick?

Re: How About McCardell?
 

what is Lloyd's deal? he seems to say the right things, but someone that is here for a grand total of 6 days gets more playing time. the skins have alot invested in him, so someone needs to figure it out

Re: How About McCardell?
 

He did have a catch yesterday, and made a nice move on the corner to get a good chunk of yardage.

Actually this is incorrect - even before we signed McCardell Gibbs said on his weekly radio show that the order was Moss, ARE, Thrash than Llyod. The announcer specifically asked Gibbs if Llyod was the number 4 in which Gibbs said yes.

A friend of mine who went ot the Detroit game said that when Llyod made the catch everyone in the stands basically laughed and couldn't believe he got a catch - this is how bad it has gone for Llyod.

With McCardell coming in and getting 2 catches after 6 days of practice Llyod will go back to rotting on the bench for the rest of the season. Come June 2008 Llyod will be gone as a cap caualty faster than Redskin One warms up to sign the next batch of key free agents.
