Re: Redskins OTAs
If Reed can stay relatively healthy for the first part of the season, and of course Thompson, then that will take a lot of pressure off of Doctson. Having Richardson here will also take pressure off of Doctson. Even if we go through the same crap of not having Reed for several games, I think there's still enough weapons, offensively, that can make it easier for Doctson.
Point is, we had better remain a lot healthier than we were last year. I know there are going to be injuries, but losing guys like Thompson AND Reed last year turned out to be backbreaking.

Re: Redskins OTAs
I mean, I get injuries happen, but it just seemed like last year was out of whack. Other than DB's we lost starters everywhere with the skill positions, OL and DL being the worst hit.

Yup and the Giants did too but I still believe it's a combination of many things. Working out year round more wear and tear on the joints and the body in general,and my biggest bitch is the turf.The shoes do a better job of gripping the surface and the players are bigger and stronger and the only thing that gives is the human body. I know people bitch about it and cost ...slipping ,mud and all that but I still think the game needs to be on grass fields.Let the sod give way instead of someones knee or ankle.

Re: Redskins OTAs
It was the worst I've ever seen. Last time I felt the 'skins were hit hard with the injury bug like this was in 1990 when they played that "body bag" game.

Re: Redskins OTAs
Yahoo shouldn't link to sites that are behind a hard paywall like the Wash. Post. They have an article about OTAs but you read half a paragraph and Wash Post wants money.
Did it one year, not paying them again. |

Well Reed will be lucky to make it out of OTA’s. I literally do not even consider him a piece of the puzzle and it’s a damn shame because he could be the best TE in the game. |

Re: Redskins OTAs
I agree, Jordan Reed has averaged 10.4 games per year, it is inevitable he will not play a full season....he is an undersized TE

But we basically play him like a WR, its not like we ask him to block or go over the middle really? He could actually be looked at like an oversized WR. He is just made of glass. Maybe this will be the year he lasts? Hopefully? Please God let it be? |
