Redskins Bye week

[skinsfan69]

At this point Doc is basically Taylor Jacobs. All we hear about is how great he is in practice. But when the lights come on he is nowhere to be found. Some no name on the Texans came in off the bench and caught 11 balls. When is Doc going to have a game like that? At some point it has to happen or it doesn't and you move on. I'm ready to move on from him after this season.

Ryan Grant is having a better season than Doc. Think about that.

Im still hoping Doc can develop...but god damn...In order for the offense to take it up a notch we need a contributor on the outside. Next year we shouldnt do this exercise again.

I see a lot of under-appreciated WRs across the league making impacts...Jon Brown (coulda signed him fo cheap), Kenny Stills, Robert Woods, Randall Cobb, Sanu, etc....

We need to bring in competition for Doc position if he continues to disappoint.

We don't have to spend big money to get a contributor...this offseason we should invest in guy who can play...and it doesn't have to be a Paul Richardson size deal.

I think we can all agree we'd like to see Doc more involved. He's definitely shown flashes. But is that going to be a consistent thing or just an every ~4 games thing?

Although, I think some big factors have been slowing his involvement; A new QB who isn't known as a risky thrower and a Run-game that has been efficient.

A. Smith isn't going to throw those risky balls that Doctson is known to bring down unless he actually has to, as in, we're down 17 points and need some quick scores so we start airing it out.

When you play with the lead and the run game can grind away the clock why would you throw risky, jump balls that can stop the clock?


I believe this week against the Saints will be different. Brees will definitely get his yards/scores so we're going to need to score a good amount of points as well. If the run game doesn't utterly dominate we'll need to throw some passes. I'd expect Doc to get some looks unless Reed/Thompson take over, which they very well could.

That's because Grant is actually a better NFL wr. For all the shit he got around here he made some pretty tough catches in traffic last year. That's why he got a decent contract. All Doc seems to be able to do is leap over someone. He can't run crisp disciplined routes that can get himself consistent separation. If he can't have a big game against the Saints then it will never happen for the guy.
