Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan

[Gary84Clark]

He is way faster than Hernandez, maybe a better blocker? He fast as hell and physical. Damn I'm gettng excited about the Shanaplan now.

Paul playing this role will definitely benefit RGIII on runs.

I guess we can rule out him being a kick returner now.

With Gaffney's departure, I expect one of Banks or Austin to make the team as a returner. I'm not sure Aldrick Robinson is 53-man roster material...could be on PS again. I doubt we'll roster Paul as a TE with Cooley, Davis and Paulsen already in the position, we won't keep 4 TEs.

Garcon
Moss
Hankerson
Morgan
Paul
Armstrong
Banks or Austin

I hope Paul playing TE doesn't spell the end for Cooley. Will be hard to keep 4 TEs on the roster, unless they don't count Paul as a TE per se.

Paul will likely become the best blocking TE on the roster. Don't worry about his size, remember that all the O linemen are on the small side & the ZB scheme calls for a lot of stretch & open field blocking. He will have trouble adjusting to pass pro against bigger & equally quick OLB/DEs but he'll learn.

I know alot of people like Cooley but he is about done.

I somewhat find that hard to believe

Yeah thats the general response for a guy who is so well liked. Two of the last 3 years he has had injury riddled seasons. We know he's role has been reduced and Fred has emerged as a better playmaker at this time. Like to see him back and still think he can contribute. But if he is gonna be hurt again this year, its time to let him go.

Cooley is a stud in the right system but I'm not sure how well he fits w/ what Mike/Kyle do. A speedier TE probably gets the nod. It's a bummer to be sure because one of Cooley's greatest strengths was finding the open space...

[MTK]

He fit just fine in this offense when he was healthy in 2010.

If his knee is right I think he'll have a significant role.

[Monkeydad]

If Cooley stays healthy, he'll be productive for many more years.

If he misses most of this season though, we have to move on...a Landry-like situation where a great player becomes an expensive liability because he can't get on the field.

A healthy Cooley with Davis and now Paul in the position is scary for defenses, especially with the WRs we've added and RGIII throwing to them...plus a more than competent run game. We could be a very explosive offense.

1991 all over again? Maybe not but we'll see.

[NYCskinfan82]

Do you think with the weight Paul has put on they would use him as a pass catching FB.

well said Monkey Man

[vallin21]

Banks is done; and Austin and Armstrong can follow behind; we will draft a slot WR/returner in the mid rounds
