Re: Skins look to improve WR-Sign Roydell Williams (could add Hackett)
 

[quote=Paintrain;557397]Anyone know if Williams has a special teams history? Since Washington went to the Ravens (better spot for him, opportunity to be the #3 WR where he'd be at best #4 or #5) we need a younger version of Thrash.[/quote]

I don't recall R. Williams doing much special-teams wise in Tennessee.

Gotta love the NFL network. I guess the Redskins WR's are not expected to make any great jumps from last yr.

Thomas had 15 catches and Kelly had 3 last year. I wouldnt project either for 50-60 receptions.

I will say though that imo Thomas and Kelly are better than the 5 "sub 15 to 50-60 WRs" listed.

Report: Matt Jones Avoids Suspension
May 26, 2009

This is slightly off topic, but I can't start a thread yet (post count only 7 posts)... What do you guys think about Matt Jones?? He seems like a scumbag with the cocaine stuff, but... An intriguing option if we're desperate (and aren't we desperate for a WR?).. He's only 26 and looked like he was picking up speed at the end of last season.. Also a tall target.

Sure, maybe Thomas and ??Kelly may pan out as well. But if he comes cheap, wouldn't he be worth a look? Is he better/worse than our current core receivers??

Well, a Breaston-like jump would be a 1,000 yard season. Not seeing that from Kelly or Thomas, although I think they will both really improve.

I just hope they can both kick the injury bug this season.
