2011 Redskins Offensive Rookie of the Year

Who will be the Redskins Offensive Rookie of the Year?

[tygarcia]

Hankerson he is the only one with some offensive skills worth metioning

[12thMan]

I'm going with Hankerson.

I hope it's Hankerson -- but went with Helu. Like his one cut style in shanny's offense. WRs just take too long to develop.

Helu, unless Hightower and Torain are playing well, I could see Helu blossoming in Shanny's system.

Ok here's my take, I'm guessing the star RB's will be Torain, Williams, and Hightower. Helu might get lucky to be on the roster as a #4 back but I just don't see him leap frogging in front of the others unless ther are injuries. All other RB's I can see going to PS.

So my best guess is a WR will get the nod, which boils down to Hankerson, Paul, and Robertson. As much as I like Hankerson and think he will possibly be our end zone threat and maybe even TD champion, I have a feeling Paul might suprise with possibly being a possession leader amongst the Rookies. My reason is because we hear nothing but great things about how Paul is making all the catches to include one handed catches. He supposedly has been a surprise to the coaching staff with how he gets separation and makes all the catches.

So I picked Paul.

Williams was moved to FB.

I went with Helu. With Torain's injuries he's going to get a shot.

Your right I forgot, he was moved to FB, but I'm still thinking we see a large dose of Torain, Hightower (unless he gets cut due to fumblitis) and Williams. I like Helu and have heard nice things but still wonder if he will get a lot of running.

But Paul could easily be put on PS as well. WR's this year I could see
Moss
Stallworth
Gaffney
AA
Banks
Austin

PS: Paul, Robertson.

or Banks and Austin could be gone and Paul seeing more playing time. I just think the team likes Banks ability for speed and ablility to get open.

i'm feeling you here, i'm hoping helu turns out to be something special.

Gotta stick with Helu. I honestly think Torain might be looking at a reduced role this season if Hightower steps it up. And I know Shanny will run a two back system since neither Hightower (fumbilitis) or Torain (injury prone) will be able to carry the rock all by themselves. With Williams out of the picture Helu will be that other back that will see snaps, and since he's our downhill threat who doesn't have a fumbling problem or isn't injury prone and excels in a one cut scheme I believe he will be the rookie that stands out. Hankerson will be a close second but it's a numbers game at wideout and I think he'll only be a #3 at best due to being an inexperienced rook with a shortened offseason. He'll impress but not as much as Helu simply because we all know we're going to see a lot of running the ball this season due to what we are working with at qb. And I reserve the right to change that statement if Beck proves me wrong and lights it up.

I voted Hankerson. I don't see right now where his reps are going to come from, but these things have an unfortunate way of working themselves out. When they do, Hankerson is a good bet to set a few rookie receiving records.

Perhaps. Between Hankerson, Paul, and Robinson, we made out like bandits in the draft.

Now, keeping all three is going to be a huge challenge.

play the odds, RBs win

and i'd bet good money hankerson doesn't touch any rookie WR records this year.
