Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

Here are his eyes. I say we just get him to stare at the opposing teams bench and scare the hell out of them.

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

His numbers have improved every year. I think this is a SOLID move to solidify our WR core.

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

[quote=jbcjr14;350684]So JLC said on the blog. Appears they also released another from the practice squad. Man, they are making some moves.

[URL="http://blog.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/"]Redskins Insider[/URL][/quote]


So they still have an open roster spot. We still have one more new face to add.

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

I always wondered why Caldwell had that deer in the headlights look. Like he is scared or something. Wonder who they are bringing in....

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

The Cowboys did call Caldwells agent, but when the agent tried to hand the phone to his client, Caldwell dropped it. End of conversation.

Just kiddin, good luck with this signing.

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

A former Charger WR sounds good to me!! Welcome aboard Mr. Caldwell, maybe you can give us the threat that Lloyd never was or probably never will be!!!!!!!!

Any day you want to compare Passing yards, passing yards per game, TD passes, avg yards per completion, completion percentage, interceptions, QB rating and ANY QB stat comparing Romo to Jason Campbell, I would love to be there.

Oh yeah not to mention the biggest stat...WINS.

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

Well if this isnt a wakeup call to Lloyd then i dont know what is... this screams 'your job is on the line' what do you think the chances of him actually becoming productive over the next few weeks are?

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

Good move--I think they were after RC for a while and waited til after the first game to avoid certain roster restrictions (JLac had something like that in the Post).

So we let Mason go and we put Jansen on IR--we still have a roster spot, no?

Wonder where it will go? Safeties are very hard to find right now--they are dropping like flies all over the league. Another O-lineman?

I'll compare it with ya we are both 1-0 period. Your girls will LOSE TO MIAMI, your defense SUCKS! The sorry ass giants scored 35 points againt the pukes.

Skins will be at the TOP ALONE after week two.

I'll give Romo credit. He sure looks like the real deal. But your defense looked really bad. I don't think Roy Williams can cover my 73 year old mother. Now Jason F. is out for the year and Neuman is hurting with a lingering foot injury. It looks like you guys are going to have to outscore people this year.

I know, Romo is such a surefire HoF. I guess that explains why the Cowboys had so much faith in him that they accepted Romo's agent's offer to engage in contract negotiations last summer.

I heard he learned how to drop things from the master....T.O. Troll much?

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

I really hope this means Lloyd is 6 on depth now and is gone in the offseason. He should thank Snyder for the handout and retire. THe pick JC threw next to Lloyd was very similar to the TD he threw to ARE in Preseason. Difference? ARE wants to score and win, Lloyd just wants the paycheck.

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

Does anyone think Caldwell could actually contribute this year? Look how long it has taken the rest of the team to grasp the playbook. I can't see him coming in and contributing much at all. Look at Deion Branch last year.

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

I can see him coming into play later in the year. If you watched the Patriots at all against the Jets Sunday, I think we could use them like they used Wes Welker. Doing all the underneath routes, the guy is really slow I just don't see him going down the field much.

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

why are the Redskins still adding wideouts that are not worth shi*. I was watching that Miami game a little Sunday as I kept falling asleep because it was so boring and saw when Jansen went down. I knew he was gone for the season instantly. Why not pick up some depth there. Geez the skins management is so dumb. Way worse then the Cowboys management for not picking up D Darius at safety and having a team filled with DE on defense. I see it now skins are gonna trade away there draft picks again. I love it.

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

Trade Llyod to the Jags for Reggie Williams

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

Dallas needs another WR to compliment Owens So maybe trade Trash and Lloyd for Spears and somebodyelse

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

Thrash and Lloyd for Spears and someone else? Like who, their water boy? Give me a break the chances of us trading away Lloyd with his contract and Thrash, with him being Thrash are nil. I wouldn't be surprised though if the Cowboys did try to make a trade with someone because I don't think they have anyone on that team besides T.O. who can be considered a starter.

The more presiing problem for them is to find a nosetackle. Kind of key in a 3-4 setup. I'm sure they will be fine since Wade Phillips is a lot better than Bill Parcells and knows how to use the talent to its full potential down there.

They should have just made Garret the Head Coach and let Roy Williams call his own defenses. He probably is at least aware of how bad he is in coverage.

Adding a wideout really kills us. We're bringing in competition, which is a good thing. How are we losing anything? Nice... real nice.

Why not pick up depth there at tackle?

Did you see any sacks after he went down? Did we not gain 191 yards on the ground? Did the rookie that filled in, who will be back-up tackle against the eagles, play a flawless game?

Make sense, or go home. You're not welcome here if your going to just blab off some BS...

Your ridiculous, making an already tarnished fan base look even worse.

Didn't you read it was too boring for me too watch.

Try the whole season with a rookie and you will get rookie results.

Adding WR just does not make any sense that all. Washington goes out Gets Lloyd and Randel El cut Patten picks Thrash up and now picks up Reche. Yall are not good at throwing the ball in the first place why keep adding WR.

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

As much as it pains me to say it, the Cowgirls fan makes a good point, that speaks to a larger issue with the 'Skins' management: They are always having to cover up past and expensive mistakes instead of actually truly improving the team or adding depth. They are now making up for the ill-advised signing of Lloyd, which is taking rosters spots away from depth in the secondary; this year in the draft they had to make up for AA signing by drafting Landry, which prevented them from drafting the D-Line help they needed; by not re-signing Smoot they had to draft Carlos and pass on Merriman, think he could have helped?

Not to rub salt in the wound, but the Cowgirls will probably have a very high if not the #1 pick next year thanks to the stupid browns.

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

Great news now our top 4 recievers are:

Santana Moss
Antwaan Randle El
Reche Caldwell
Brandon Lloyd

I like the sound of it.

Well it doesn't seem like they were going to pick a D-lineman this year, considering they felt good about drafting Golston and Montgomery last year. The notion that we don't have depth at OT is humorous. After Jansen, we've got Wade, Heyer. Are we supposed to be 4 deep? How many teams are?

And I personally think the Merriman argument is a tired one. A lot of other teams passed on him too. You think the Vikings are better off with Troy Williamson than Merriman?

You mean the Cowboys management that picked up Drew Bledsoe and signed all those wonderful O-linemen to protect him? Or the one that signed TO? Or the one that picked a LB in the first round (Carpenter) who can't crack the starting lineup? Or the one that had so much confidence in Romo that it signed him to contract extension in the offseason? Or the one that gave a chronic underachieving and fat guard close to $50M? Or the one that passed on Steven Jackson because it thought Julius Jones was a franchise back? Or the one that hired a head coach who has never won a playoff game for a club that hasn't won a playoff game since the 1990s?

I did not say they should have drafted a D-Tackle, but some outside pass rush help would have been nice. Are you saying they would not be better off with Ryan Clark (assuming they re-sign him instead of picking up AA) starting next to Taylor and Gaines Adams either starting or playing situationally at Defensive End?

I have no problem with the present depth at OT, I was referring to defensive secondary depth.

Yes, a lot of teams passed on Merriman, that is why he would have been available at #9, which I believe is where Ol' Double Move got picked.

You can certainly quibble with individual examples, and I grant you that the Merriman one is the weakest, but my point was that the overall constant covering of personnel mistakes prevents the team from moving forward and getting better from year to year. It is not just plain bad look that this organization has been to the playoffs twice in the past decade.

Yep that is the same Cowboys management. I love the Caldwell pickup. He's only 28, came cheap, and adds depth where Lloyd is unproven, Thrash is basically a ST player now, and The other guy Boiford is a camp scrub. And SS you make a good point, The Merrimean issue is a dead argument. The Lions, Bucs, Bears, and Vikings all passed on him.

I think people think Ryan Clark is better than he is because he's a good guy that's not here anymore. I wish we had traded down and got a pass-rushing DE and some help elsewhere (OG maybe?). I don't think any DE in this year's draft was worthy of the #6 pick.

I think we're more proactive than given credit for. And not all the other teams are as infallible as Redskins fans seem to believe.

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

Clark was not a great player, but in my opinion, his value was enhanced because he seemed to make ST a better player. So when you lost him, you lost some of Taylor so to speak. He also would have come rather cheap.

I do not think other teams are infallible, and I think the Front Office was better this year in keeping draft picks, making a good pickup in Baker-Fletcher, and even better non-move in keeping Rocky. I simply think they would be better served by taking a longer view of things.

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

We just picked up the best wr available. While a no. here have said that the Pats only release players that no longer have it, you have to look at this year & say the Pats acted a little out of character (no comment on the spying thing). They signed big name Free agents a la the danny; Thomas, Moss, Welker, Stallworth et al.

Whereas the Skins were pretty quiet. It would be the sweetest irony if Caldwell turns out to be a solid wr for us & helps us win, while Moss acts a fool & Stallworth gets hurt as they often do.

Maybe this is a case where the Pats made the wrong move? We'll see. Come Oct. 28 we'll get a real good look.

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

Caldwell is a solid move, he should be able to contribute on 3rd downs at the least.

For those complaining about the front office just look at the Browns. Talk about a team in complete disarray.

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

It is true that Caldwell is a good WR, but I don't think we need him in the depth. Moreover, he screwed up the championship game with the pats last year by dropping a lot of crucial throws which means that he's not that good under pressure.

Re: JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell
 

Yes, he did drop that one ball, but look he is still a solid receiver something we need desperately. Someone who goes out every week and you can expect around the same numbers from them. I have never really had that feeling from a Redskins receiver, but it is nice to know that Reche will be there for maybe 3-5 catches a game.
