[QUOTE=jamf;357975]I'm very disappointed the Redskins have decided to bring in KM and RC. Nothing against them....


Everyones heard about the 700 page playbook and the timing offense. Can anyone expect anything from KM and RC this year? Even if they had very limited plays, I doubt they will be able to develop timing with JC.
A receiver running the wrong route, Running to the wrong spot, breaking too late and too early in a route can cause plays to breakdown or even turnovers.

Lloyd has been a huge bust. But he didn't get bad overnight. He underachieved all training camp and OTAs. It's up to the coaches and management to field the best roster they possibly can while continually building for the future. If lloyd is so bad, he should've been cut before training camp.

The Redskins are trying to stack the roster at each position. They have 4 cornerbacks that have started whole seasons in the league.
They have 5 WR that have started full seasons.

at some point, You have to have young hungry players dieing for a shot.
Stephen Heyer is a perfect example. Young undrafted guy, But he fits his role on the team. He had a shot to play and he played well!
We need more guys like that. Rock Cartwright is another example, Late round pick but sticks with the team through hard work and good ST play. He has been a very good return guy and solid #3 RB. We don't need to bring in the darrick blaylocks to replace him.

A young WR who's been through training camp has more value now than some tired retread WR who is trying to learn a limited playbook.

You can have your starting players, But with enough injuries, You are going to have to play young guys who were drafted in the later rounds. Thats not a bad thing if you draft guys that fit your system.
Guys like Asante Samuels, TJ Housyourmommazdah, and Steve Smith aren't guys that started from day 1, they earned their keep and when their time came, they stepped up.

The redskins need to stop bringing in other peoples trash and start developing their own talent.

sorry for the incoherent rant, I had a tough day on a job site installing an ip phone system. AT&T decided to gang bang me and not tell me...

Btw, That chick in the mercury car commercials is freaking hot![/QUOTE]

If the argument is that the Skins need to make a larger commitment to developing and retaining draft picks, well, I think they clearly are moving in that direction. They have been chastened by the failures of players like Lloyd and Duckett and have thus remained committed to next year's and future drafts.

But you say yourself they have to field the best team possible and I don't see anyway that McCardell as insurance can't help us this year. It's not like we have some hungry young receivers we are cutting out. We have deficiencies at that position. And it's not like we are cutting Stephen Heyer to sign some older offensive lineman, or getting rid of Ryan Clark to bring in Archuletta. We are trying to help our team this year.

So I don't see the problem with this move.

And ditto on the mercury girl.

Re: Rumor: Redskins sign Keenan McCardell
 

i just heard on NFL Network that the Skins will sign KM on monday..

Re: Rumor: Redskins sign Keenan McCardell
 

The Texans are in a lot worse shape at wr than we are,their top 3 are out for this game which leaves their #1 reciever they have left,Andre Davis,playing with a dislocated finger,they were the last team to look at KM and with all their injuries they havent called him back? if KM had anything left in the tank seems like the Texans would be calling

Re: Rumor: Redskins sign Keenan McCardell
 

Henry Ellard anyone?

Re: Rumor: Redskins sign Keenan McCardell
 

[quote=TheMalcolmConnection;358005]Henry Ellard anyone?[/quote]

If he produces like Ellard then I will be BOOSTED !!!!

Re: Rumor: Redskins sign Keenan McCardell
 

I honestly don't think this was a good choice. I understand that our receivers haven't produced that much, but I think signing Caldwell was more than enough and that we will be fine. I didn't read a lot of the posts so sorry if I missed it but does anyone know for how much we got him?

Re: Rumor: Redskins sign Keenan McCardell
 

I think it's the anticipation of possibly losing Moss AGAIN to groin problems. Who would feel comfortable with Randle El, Lloyd and Caldwell as the starting receivers? I know I wouldn't in the middle of a playoff push.

Re: Rumor: Redskins sign Keenan McCardell
 

on the website it looked as if all Moss needed was a week of rest

Re: Rumor: Redskins sign Keenan McCardell
 

why didnt we look at antonio bryant, i think he is still a free agent, he's young (27) and gifted, a little attitude, but he easily can be a great #2, do anyone know he's playing or not.....and at 6'1 210 he be a great big target for JC.....

Yes, it does sound like Lloyd. Only Bryant has done more on the field.

Good question.
I think the reason why is the fact that he is perceived as having one of the worst attitudes in the NFL.

If we were going to look at him, might as well looked at David Boston. Same attitude, same level of performance.

[QUOTE=jbcjr14;358064]If we were going to look at him, might as well looked at David Boston. Same attitude, same level of performance.[/QUOTE]

Boston is likely the most injury prone player in the NFL. Likely due to steroid use, but that's just speculation. I LOVED Boston and his talent, he was truely one of the top 3 WR's in football until all the injuries stripped him of his talent and opportunity.

Re: Rumor: Redskins sign Keenan McCardell
 

Is there a link yet?

Re: Rumor: Redskins sign Keenan McCardell
 

If Lloyd doesn't get on the field with Moss out, Gibbs may as well cut him. It's too bad that a guy with that kind of speed/athleticism hasn't been able to get his head on straight. If the Skins had spent the money they sank into Archuleta / Lloyd on quality interior linemen, who knows how good this team might be.

i thought it was steriods and human growth hormone's?

Re: Rumor: Redskins sign Keenan McCardell
 

Just a thought: we're not going to sign anyone right now. Vinny Cerrato was on skins.com radio (a bit was replayed on the "redskins nightly news" section) saying they brought in some people to look at (didn't say who) but it was for reference later in the year just in case. All teams apparently do this all year long to cover themselves in an emergency. Don't know if KMaC was part of this or something different.

Not sure exactly where but: [url=http://www.redskins.com]Washington Redskins[/url]

Re: Rumor: Redskins sign Keenan McCardell
 

This evening I heard Chris Mortenson interview McCardell on ESPN radio. They talked about why he signed with the 'Skins and how he could help the team. I did find it interesting when Mort asked him about the offense and how familiar he was with it. McCardell said that San Diego ran almost the same thing, with some subtle differences. Do you guys think he could possibly help and be a factor? Sorry no link.

Re: Rumor: Redskins sign Keenan McCardell
 

he could bring that veteran presence I mean he has won a superbowl and he is a good route runner. I like him especially seeing that Lloyd does not have a catch this year

Re: Rumor: Redskins sign Keenan McCardell
 

i wonder who's gonna get cut when they sign him monday???

Yes! lets stop letting tired old lazy cripples come here to cash in before retirement. I think we have proven over the past 10 years that this doesn't work!! I hope you are reading this snyder.

Im pretty sure McCardell is signing for vet min,and he may be old, but I don't think he is lazy, at very least not as lazy as BL.

Re: Rumor: Redskins sign Keenan McCardell
 

decent signing, odd timing... it's a bit late in the season.

Re: Rumor: Redskins sign Keenan McCardell
 

So Did We sign him yet?

Re: Rumor: Redskins sign Keenan McCardell
 

We should have kept McCardell and cut Desmond Howard when we drafted both in 1992. I've heard it said that some players knew that Howard was a monumental mistake the first week of training camp. McCardell has had a very nice career for a 12th round draft choice. He scored 9 TDs in 2005, so hopefully he has a little left in the tank. Perhaps he can show Brandon Lloyd how to prepare like a professional.

Lol...your funny! Ask one more time!
Anyways...per redskins.com....as of today, S.Moss is NOT even listed on their injury report! So maybe everyone needs to take a deep breath and chill to see what expires over the next few days. Lets hope he'll be game time ready to score!

Greetings King14,
just a hint.
On this site, you'll enjoy less grief from other members if you post in complete sentences (more or less), with some semblance of grammer, and structure in place.
Not my place to be the English Nazi, or offend you, but you will hear about that type of thing.

The disturbing thing in JLac's report was the mention that Moss may be more injured than previously thought. He may not be available against Detroit. Oy.

There is sure as HELL more going on than what is being released. If all was well, we would not be making this move
