redskins looking at gabriel?

i guess they could use someone over 6 ft at the wide out position, could work in the red-zone

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

Yeah that's true, he could be an asset in the red zone because of his height. He would be our fourth or possible 3rd receiver at best, so we don't need to give him a big deal.

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

Well I mentioned Gabriel a couple of days ago as a good option for the Redskins to go after. It's been pointed out,however, that his attitude isn't all that desirable. Could be a product of playing in Oakland, but then again he also played in New England and I think they released him mid-season.

Regardless of attitude though, I'd like to bring him in. He's a better choice for our 5th receiver spot than someone like Burl "Ives" Toler I would imagine. Unless Toler's been some kind of beast on special teams.

Anyhow, this is all just speculation at this point.

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

reggie williams of jacksonvile may become available... hes a much better 6'4 receiver.

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

id rather have reggie by far

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

Stats wise, there isn't a significant difference between the two. Regardless, RW is moving back up the depth chart in Jacksonville. I doubt he's going anywhere.

Ryan Hoag is 6' 2". He held on to that ball against Pittsburgh in the 2 minute drill. He is the only reserve that has done anyhting that comes close to anything. I say we keep him as the 5th receiver. If we cut him, he could be the next Keenan McCardell.

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

On a seperate note, does anyone think Beasly is a lock to make the team or no?

He has a good chance. If Sellers were to go down (God forbid) any play that calls for a lead blocker would have to be thrown out. I think they were looking for one of the youngsters to fill that role but it didn't pan out.

Also, am I taking crazy pills? PFT reports the Dolphins may cut Chris Chambers? What's up with that? Is this a different Chris Chambers or something? I don't keep up with everything but I thought he was their top guy.

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

no way to both. coach Gibbs is building good team chemistry thru guys attitudes. no need to disrupt that

Not to break your balls, but couldn't any WR we cut?

Chambers?? That guy would be picked up in a heartbeat. He catches a lot of balls, but I think he dropps his fair share too. Wow, now that is a rumor.

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

Michael Westbrook was tall too.

Height doesn't guarantee success.

I don't think we'll pick up another WR. Moss, ARE, Lloyd and Bradford will work. I was hoping Espy would be in the mix before we lost him to injury.

It was a little bit of a joke. Obviously not very effective.

My position is this: If we only have 4 receivers worth keeping, that's all we should keep. Cooley is half wide-receiver anyway. And, we may be able to pick up a fifth once the axe falls on September 1.

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

Adam Schefter reported that Reggie Williams, Michael Clayton, and Chris Chambers might be cut or traded in the last two's case. Miami wants to get rid of Chambers because he has a huge salary and a huge cap hit, and they are cap strapped. Tampa Bay wants to get rid of Clayton because he hasn't done shit since his rookie season.

is that the guy that caught the TD while getting smashed by taylor last year?

[QUOTE=Meks;344887]reggie williams of jacksonvile may become available... hes a much better 6'4 receiver.[/QUOTE]

He won't be...Del Rio said he dropped him on the charts to motivate him, he will likely be the #2 in Jacksonville.

The very same.

In all fairness (Reggie Williams aside...see my last post) Chambers would be GREAT for us. I do not want to pay his salary though, and he likely would be on EVERYONE's sign list. Clayton still has good talent, but we have people in his mold.
In both cases, they are a product of horrible QB's. You CAN NOT play well when you have a poor QB. See Randy Moss! (a slew of others too) So they could resurrect their careers with a change of scenery.

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

No to Gabriel. But we do need a possesion receiver in the worst way. However, no possesion receiver is better than a bad one.

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

I was listening to ESPN radio on XM while I was on my way to lunch, and they said Chris Chambers is on the trading block. Now THAT would be interesting. They'd probably want a 3rd rounder for him at least though.

Well, we don't have the cap space to waste on him, so unless Miami was willing to cover the majority of his salary, we are out of this race.

Chambers is staying put for the year. We wouldn't want him anyways...mainly I'm talking about Gibbs...he's trying to rack up a criminal record along with football records.

Never said I wanted him, never said we should go get him. Just said it would be interesting.

Gabriel would be way cheaper and serve the same purpose.

It'll be hard to trade him, but they are trying nonetheless...

HA! That's funny. Chambers is overpaid, but I think they'd be foolish to put all there eggs in Ted Ginn's basket.

Never said you did, just making an argument for the possibility of us getting him, or not.

You might be right, but Chambers has proven himself, and Gabriel hasn't.

Oddly enough, I looked up their hieght and weight, and I didn't know Chambers was only 5'11" 210lbs. If we're going after someone, we need someone with hieght!

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

I would absolutely bring Gabriel in for a look, it can't hurt. Doug Gabriel is a better option at #4, or #5 WR than anyone we have on the roster currently.

I think he's better than Bradford at least, and given some time to get comfortbable would likely become our No. 2 WR.

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

we said the same thing in the past few years about our current #2 & 3 (B-lloyd and Randle el)

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

I would love Clayton in a skins uniform. at times he could dominate

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

We also need to consider just how much playing time a 5th wide receiver would get. Since the Saunders Offense calls for tight ends and full backs, the game day roster will have at most 4 wideouts.

If there's any truth to this -- and that's a big if, you'd have to think that they're considering dumping either Thrash or Lloyd. I just don't see that happening. Especially when you consider the time Campbell has spent with the recievers he already has.

I still can't figure out what the advantage is of a "possession" wideout who's over 6'2". Aren't all wide receivers "possession" receivers anyway? Everyone you throw to, you'd still like to have possession of the ball.

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

Doug Gabriel = no thanks. Just cause he is tall does not mean he is any good. He couldn't even stay on in NE last year.

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

Unless some gem happens to become available, I don't see much out there that could really change our wr situation. Are the coaches in fear of more injuries or do they really want to replace somebody? Loyd is the only dude I could see getting cut of the top 4 wr's, and I think they're trying to give him a chance to redeem himself. Plus the cap impact.

If R. Williams were to be available, he'd be a great addition, but as someone posted earlier talk of his release wasn't accurate. He's a good #2 wr.

Re: Doug Gabriel
 

Allow myself to quote...myself. He did a nice job of getting his feet down.
