man i went to the game and people just started boooing royal after a while, i mean after just the first drop, not that he didn't deserve it but he must have felt like shit after each drop. He shouldn't be on this team though, TEs are suppossed to block and catch, he can't catch so we must be keeping him to block

railcon56 · 11-27-2005, 09:06 PM

He should be Cut Tommorow!!!!! Oh wait tonight!!!

He can't block or catch. So why is he on this team?

Maybe he's actually royalty?

Seriously though, this could be a bit of a stretch but from what I understand his family down in New Orleans lost everything with Katrina. Thanks to Snyder sending his plane down there, his family made it out there safely. But I wonder if his mind just isn't with football right now.

I forgot about that. The press hasn't updated us about those issues. All will be forgiven if he catches 50 passes in the next 5 games.

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.

skinsfanthru&thru · 11-27-2005, 10:43 PM

give him da boot!!

steveo395 · 11-27-2005, 10:46 PM

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

jrocx69 · 11-27-2005, 11:00 PM

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

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?

kingerock · 11-28-2005, 12:15 AM

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.

http://www.bigblueinteractive.com/draft/drpros03.htm

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.
