Randle El is the receiver we need to pursue (#2 WR discussion - Merged)

RMSkins · 01-23-2006, 02:59 PM

I believe that Randle El would be the best fit at #2 WR for us. I have seen plenty of Steelers games becuase I live in Central Pennsylvania, and Randle El impresses me a lot, he reminds me a lot of Santana, and I think that's what we need on this team is another short explosive receiver just like the "Smurfs" back in the day. I know Randle El has only had 7 tds in his career, but I can see us using him for Screens, and trick plays since he was a QB in College, I also think that he will take a lot of pressure of Moss and Cooley, and I would like to see Saunders implement a 3 wr set with Moss, Randle El, and Patten. I hope Antwaan will be the receiver we pick up in Free Agency, but their is also a chance that Pittsburgh might resign him, but here's to hoping.

You definitely have some supporters of the idea around here. There are also the ones who think TO is the answer.

SmootSmack · 01-23-2006, 03:07 PM

Welcome to the board. I've been clamoring for Randle-el for a while now. As have others here. He would be a great addition to the team.

Big C · 01-23-2006, 03:08 PM

would love to add randle-el

MTK · 01-23-2006, 03:09 PM

I definitely wouldn't mind seeing Randle-El in a Skins uniform. He return kicks/punts too, nice bonus!

Should be interesting to see what sort of impact Saunders has on personnel selection. Will we stick with the small/fast type, or look for a bigger WR. All I know is Saunders will likely want speed.

Redskins8588 · 01-23-2006, 03:10 PM

Dont get me wrong I would like to have Randle el, but he is the same size as Moss. We need a bigger WR, a possion type WR.

Monksdown · 01-23-2006, 03:11 PM

Buy "possion", did you mean a magical Potion or what? And Gardner was a credit to your theory.

thats what cooley is for

That Guy · 01-23-2006, 03:24 PM

i think KR or curtis (or even moulds) would give better production for equal or less money than randal-el.

RMSkins · 01-23-2006, 03:41 PM

Thanks for the welcome. It's nice to see that their are some people pushing for Randle El. As for Saunders keeping short explosive receivers as opposed to the TO Prototype receivers I just look back to the receivers he had in KC (Hall, Kennison, Parker) they're all pretty small receiver so I think Saunders will keep the smaller guys. As for Koren Robinson I would like to see him but I rather have Randle El, Moulds is a great Receiver but he is getting up there in age, and that makes me wonder how much he has left in the tank. I think Randle El is the most legitmate #2 Receiver for us given his age and how it seems that the Redskins are building this team around some younger guys.

I just dont see it as a priority to go and spend money on a big name guy. We have other needs that need to be addressed and spending big money on one guy just doesn't seem to fit. We need depth at o-line and d-line. We need secondary depth, corner and safety. Maybe some depth at TE, although I believe Cooley will play alot more w/ suanders calling the plays. We are going to have to sign a QB also because Ramsey is not going to be here. I would much rather sign quality players at those positions, than sign one big name guy and a bunch of stop gaps or roster fillers. I think the Redskins are spending the money where they need to, offensive coaching. Patten has been, typically through his career, a productive #2 guy. I believe with saunders opening things up and another year under his belt, Patten will be productive. You can give up on a guy because of 1 bad year(Brunell?) Also we have draft picks, plus what ever we get for Ramsey that could be used on a WR that could be productive as a #3 or if we are lucky #2. Plus I believe Cooley will be alot more involved, much like Gonzales was in KC, he would have about 100 catches each year. It sounds nice to say Reggie Wayne, Randel el, Robinson is a Redskin, but I just think the quality of players signed through out the Roster is more important than the superstar lable of one player.

and what happens when patten or moss get hurt? we pack it in and wait for next year?

guys like curtis or robinson won't be big money like wayne or moulds or even r-el (who's overhyped).

I didn't say get scrubs, I said quality backups or #3 or #4s. I cant see Robinson signing for anything less. I was a career year for him, so he's looking to get paid. Curtis, not sure. Injuries are part of the game, hopefully they dont happen, but you cant stack your roster with a bunch of high priced players at one position. Other parts of the roster will pay the price. I'd say we are in the same position if Portis got hurt, Betts may look OK for a game or two, but he hasn't been healthy a whole season yet, and is unproven as a #1 RB. Same thing with the O-line, D-line. You saw what happened when Thomas went down last year. That really hurt us in seattle, we couldn't run worth crap. I am just saying to sign guys that dont drain the wallet. If they have workable demands for contracts, why not, but if they are asking for alot of cash, I dont see us signing them.

i like curtis but he is smallish and also a restricted free agent. he will cost a pick. robinson won't. moulds won't either if he is released. we could get a got solid year out of mccardell as well. there are gonna be good options out there.

giacomo2 · 01-31-2006, 05:59 PM

i think moulds would be a perfect fit...he has size and speed, with him we have santana, moulds and patton...what a tough match-up for any secondary. i like randel-el....but i think he will stay in pittsburgh.
