Also 108 catches, again a team record.

Can't fault him when the offense calls for him to catch a lot of screens and shorter routes. Last week they opened things up a bit more for him and you have to admit a few of those catches were amazing efforts on his part.

Only 108? We both know he needs to have 231 catches by week 12 to justify any money we give him. Jabar Gaffney clearly would have broken Herman Moore and Calvin Johnson's record by now.

Totally reasonable.

As it is he's already on pace to break the team record for catches in a season.

W/e, still not a #1.

Can we never be satisfied with players who perform? Pierre is playing great football right now, and if we can get another Pierre on the other side of the field we would be in really great shape.

108 catches is productive, and we are labeled a running offense. We don't win that game Sunday if it wasn't for Pierre.

Also, Alfred has 686 yards this season 25 yards behind Peterson with 20 less carries. We are a running team so to have a WR produce like Pierre is not unreasonable for his contract. I'm going out on a limb and saying Morris will be leading the NFL in rushing after this week.

My biggest issue right now is Morgans contract. It seems like they put him back on kickoffs and punts to justify why he's making so much because Hankerson has taken his spot on the depth chart.

Moss, Morgan and Robinson are done, they are gone after this season. But lets crush are #1 guy who brings it every week. It makes no sense. Hank is our possision guy, but we gotta add 3 receivers this offseason. Major need imo.

This is The Warpath, hear us whine!

Dude, it's not your first week, how surprised can you really be? This forum has members with the intestinal fortitude of a Rotavirus sufferer who recently had a spicy curry and now can't stop sneezing.

At least we're off Suicide Watch this week.

I really don't think Hank is a possession WR. I think he's better off as a #3 or #4. He produces but has no killer instinct. He never attacks the ball and always catches with his body. Has a larger catch radius than Jordan Reed, but plays smaller. We really need a guy like Alshon Jeffrey with a big body and uses it well.

Of course, a lot of teams just make the TE their possession WR and I think Jordan Reed could fill that role if we wanted to add more speed at the WR position.

Indeed, and why he gets game ball IMO. You could also argue he'd be on track for more like 1500 yards, 8 TD and 120 catches if RG had been in top form from beginning of the season. On the other hand Peter Boy has dropped some catchable balls too, so his stats are probably about where he'd end up.

It'll be his first season breaking 1000 yards and earning his contract, that's all I'm saying.

yeah agree Id like to see more speed on the other side of Garcon and in the slot as well. We really need a slot guy.

I think the Redskins signed him because they expected him to become a #1 receiver in their offense - not necessarily because he was already there as a #1 when they signed him.

He may actually have been overpaid at first because that is the way of free agency - you have to overpay to get the better players.

Thought that too...but the all-22 shows no contact whatsoever. Blown call.

Franchise tender ballpark is about $10 million, right?
