[I]In the face of tragedy, sports have always been there to help Morgan through tough times. Whether they created a distraction to keep him away from hustling on a street corner in Southeast D.C., or helped the healing process for an entire university dealing with a worst-possible scenario, sports have always played a huge role in Morgan's life.

Which is why he is always one of the first Redskins players to volunteer whenever the organization is looking for people to participate in community outreach events.

"I just think back to my childhood and can't help but believe if we had a professional athlete or someone successful come back and talk to us, maybe that could have been enough to save my best friend's life or keep my other friend out of jail and prevented him from becoming a crackhead before we even got to high school," he said. "That's what makes me do what I do as far as giving back to the community."[/I]

I like Morgan, I think he will become a bigger factor as the season progresses. Can u get a T-shirt in the Kelso Dunes :)

Re: Giving props...
 

The fact that this thread even exists is a testament to how much more talent we have on this team than we've had in previous years. We're loaded with offensive talent. Its a nice feeling to root for a team thats actually good.

It took people awhile to realize that we do have some good receivers (they are young). Many here kept saying our receivers suck, go get so and so, blah, blah, blah. Patience, it takes time to develop the young guys. Same goes for our RB's, I still have faith in Royster and Helu.

[quote=SkinsGuru;971632]Paulsen is ok, but thats it IMO . . . last week he had 2 BAD penalties and 2 drops . . . he played horrible . . . notice it was Cooley that made the great block to open the lane for morris on that last play too . . .[/quote]

...and you forgot to mention all the huge plays he came up with? He had a drop in the Giants game, and turned around and made a incredible play to follow that up with diving and stretching the ball out for the first. (which was then won on a challenge by Mike)


C'mon man. Paulsen is a 3rd string TE out there moving the chains, and making huge plays when we need them. Sure he's no Fred Davis, but he's done more than I ever expected from him. He was contributing quite a bit when Garcon was out. (and he was starting) More than Niles Paul was, that much is sure. Nobody is saying he's a pro-bowler.

Re: Giving props...
 

I gotta give the props to Kyle Shanahan and the wideouts.

Obviously adapting way better under this system, but the WR's are running beautiful routes and when given space- they make the best of it.


Aside from the Pittsburgh game, I'm enamored with the WR's production.

Re: Giving props...
 

morgan is really doing it to it.
young is a beast.
paulsen has exceeded my expectations.
williams is starting to play like a #4 overall pick.

Re: Giving props...
 

Garcon-While clearly he's no Jabar Gaffney, he is a difference maker when he's on the field.

T. Williams-He's done exactly what he should have been doing his entire career. Leading, dominating for stretches and playing like a top 10 pick should.

Chester-Rarely misses his man, rarely gives up pressure, rarely gets called for a penalty. Solid season all the way around.

Montgomery-See Chester

Bowen & Cofield-Playing well on the DL, making it easy for Riley and Fletcher to attack the ball carrier.

Forbath-No longer do I get a knot in my gut on 4th down in FG range

I think Paulsen has been off alot. Drops - penalties - he whiffed so bad on a block at the start of the Dallas game that I actually felt the breeze in my living room. I think you could plug just about any te in there with Griff and he is going to get his share of catches. To me tightend is a weakness without Davis healthy but I dont really care because our offense is kicking ass.
Edit: when Paulsen was playing behind Cooley / Davis he would come in here or there and seemed like he always made a play. I felt quite comfortable with him becoming our primary guy. Until i have watched him the last several weeks. Now i know why he was only coming in here or there.

A lot? You got the numbers or any evidence to back that up? No, you don't. Besides, you know how many balls I've seen Cooley drop or fumble? Too many to count. How many blocks he's missed? You guys are incredible. He hasn't done much the past couple weeks because Garcon is back. I guess we'll decide to ignore that factor. ****ing haters.

Re: Giving props...
 

for a guy who was #3 last season, he's stepped up in a major way.

Who the hell is hating? I clearly said i dont care because our offense kicks ass. Also i gave three examples of him blowing it. Bad penalty - bad whiff- started both the dallas game and the giants game with bad drops. You gave one example of a play where he stretched for a first down. The whole idea of the thread was to give props - rg-3 , morris , the oline minus polumbus, young, garcon, kai, riley. Paulsen? No. You yourself called him a third string caliber te. I consider him a second string actually. However like i said tight ends are usually fairly accessible over the middle when they have linebackers covering them so u could plug pretty much any te in the league into our offense with griff and our run game (notice that is the opposite of "hating" ) and he will have his moments. Why am i a hater for not thinking Paulsen has shined? Lol.

[QUOTE=los panda;971750]for a guy who was #3 last season, he's stepped up in a major way.[/QUOTE]

He could be a number two on alot of teams - cooley and davis made him a three but not many teams had or have two tightends like that. If buy "stepping up" you mean playing because he is asked by the coaching staff to do so - well than yes. Imo he is looking like a fill in and career second stringer. Exactly what he is. Not shining in his new found role as a starter. Nothing special or deserving of props. Doesnt mean i think he is the worst te ever or losing games for us as NC would make my comments out as.

So then why bring up Paulsen if you don't think he deserves props

Re: Giving props...
 

[quote=punch it in;971752] No. You yourself called him a third string caliber te. I consider him a second string actually. [/quote]

No, I didn't. I said he was our third string TE, which is exactly what he was at the beginning of the season. (1- Davis 2- Paul 3- Paulsen)

[url=http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/gamelog/_/id/13726/logan-paulsen]Logan Paulsen Game By Game Stats and Performance - Washington Redskins - ESPN[/url]

If you notice, he was the only one doing ANYTHING during that 3 game losing span to the Giants, Steelers, and Panthers.

Our 2nd string TE on the other hand.

Please read my posts. I clearly pointed our how a te is a safety valve for a qb. Especially when no wr's are stepping up That is why Paulsen was the only one who was doing anything.
Also i could care less what Niles Paul was on the depth chart. I have seen Paulsen play in previous years and play well - also said that already.
So doh you.
Paulsen has made more doh plays than outstanding plays. Several more. So i choose to not give him props. I choose to stand by my statement that any te in the league could fill in with our great offense and our great qb and find himself wide open to pull in a 15 yard catch from RG-3. He has not excelled in anyway i have seen up until this point for me to give him props. Not sure why this makes me a hater? Not sure why my decision to agree with Skins Guru that he has been nothing more than halfway serviceable in an offense that completely masks his not so great play because said offense is so ****ing good has you so upset. Jeez.

Yes but if i gave say Polumbus props because he didnt allow a sack against the Giants would that not raise a bit of non. -prop talk? Lol. Im not comparing him to paulsen but if im handing out "props" they aint goin to lunch pail logan.

Re: Giving props...
 

Morris. The dude is a beast; churns out the yards and protects the ball. When he does fumble, it lights a fire under him and he atones for it through gritty, nasty, pounding running. I'd hate to be the guy in front of him on his next run after a fumble.

Re: Giving props...
 

no love for lorenzo??? i think he is the leading example of how to be a pro athlete. he has stepped up his role on the team every year. he had a huge open feild tackle to get us the ball back from the ravens in ot this week. not to mention his hits on teams. gotta give the one man gang his props!!

Re: Giving props...
 

props to the coaching staff

people need to face the fact Shanny and the coaching staff are the driving force behind the 4 straight wins with a rookie QB, ton of injuries, and a weak defense. People need to remember going into the bye this team was borderline full collaspe and he was able to turn it around. Haslett deserves 2nd highest praise behind Shanny for his game planning and great halftime adjustments. Kyle is right there calling a more consistant game and keeping teams off balance with his schemes. All the coaches on both sides of the ball behind the scenes deserve praise.

RG3 deserves alot of credit, but he is nowhere with Shanny, his Oline and especially Alfmo. Getting Garcon back has been the difference on offense though in the turnaround.

Props to Kyle. Our running QB goes down and when our pocket passer comes in we roll him out to toss a TD. Then for the 2 point conv. we run him again. I looked at my buddy and said I didn't see that coming brilliant. All that went down pretty quick and Kyle stayed cool and got it done.
