Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season

Just when he was startong to supplant himself as the #2.

Re: Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season
 

We had been pretty healthy this year, but this one is going to hurt the passing game. A passing game that needed all the help it could get.

Good news is it opens up a spot in the starting lineup for someone to contribute and establish themselves in the receiver rotation.

Re: Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season
 

Hopefully they move Moss back to the Z, and put Williams in at Slot.

Re: Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season
 

Too bad for Hank. That's 2 of his 3 seasons ending in injuries, both times when his play was coming on strong. I would like to see Robinson get more touches. I think he earned that chance with his play against Philly.

Re: Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season
 

Well, while it sucks, if he works hard on recovering, he could well positioned going into year 4 of his career. If not, he won't make it out of camp. Given what he's shown, there is simply no reason he can't be a solid No. 2 for us next year - depending on how dedicated he is in the offseason. From what I have seen, he has the talent to be a really high end No.2 WR in this league - [I]possibly[/I] a low-end No. 1 but not too sure about that.

Really, I see this as Robinson's opportunity to really seize the moment. "Okay Aldrick, here is your six game audition. Run the routes, catch the ball, play in the NFL. If you don't, have a nice day." Given the circumstances/opportunity being presented to him, this is a make or break time. If he can't be a reliable No.2 or No.3 WR now, on a depleted roster in need of a solid alternative to a talented No. 1 WR (i.e. -- we don't need you to be a playmaker, just a guy who cannot be ignored), he won't be anything but low-end camp roster fodder in the NFL for a couple years, then gone.


I don't see Santana going into the Z ... he is not the burner he was. Santana, much as I have appreciated him over the years, is done after this year. Just don't see him coming back. He'll probably catch on somewhere for a couple of seasons where a young talented corp could use some veteran leadership. Keep him in the slot, give RGIII a veteran's veteran and safety valve. At the end of the season, say thank you and we wish you the best.

Morgan had his opportunity, I had high hopes but, while an NFL player, I just don't see him as an everydown No. 2. Solid 3-5, yup. Good blocker, moderate speed and hands but little to no explosion or ability to separate on talent.

Williams should get some play at the slot ... just to see what he's got. I am sure he is a quality, workmanlike guy with a modicum of talent which he will work hard to maximize. At the same time, pretty sure there is a reason he was undrafted and not signed off our PS by somebody. He's strikes me as the kind of guy you want on your team -- you just don't want a whole team of him. Think Reed Doughty on offense.

Re: Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season
 

This is Aldrick's opportunity to become the #2.

Re: Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season
 

Don't like Hank being out...wow 2 of his 3 seasons ending in injury....hate that for Hank
BUT, good opportunity to see who else in the "stable" can play
Next man up!

Re: Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season
 

Sucks for Hank. He needed all the playing time he could get.

Re: Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season
 

As a result, Lance Lewis has been called up to the 53 man roster

Re: Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season
 

Hell yeah, Lance Lewis boi! He did alright in pre-season.

Re: Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season
 

Id rather have Huey Lewis.

Re: Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season
 

I'd rather have Ray Lewis.

Oh God, just kidding, I really, really don't.

Jamal Lewis? Louis Armstrong? Neil Armstrong? B.J. Armstrong?, B.J. Raji?

Re: Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season
 

Jerry Lee Lewis
Lewis and Clark (Gary)
Louis Cypher (think Angel Heart)

Really, the list is limitless here.

None of this would have happened if we had kept Pat White.

I miss B. J. Armstrong.

Re: Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season
 

I hear he's available! And just as TALL today as he was back then!

morgan, moss and fletch all stayed one year too long now.

I thought he was flipping burgers at Fridays with Malcolm Kelly.

Re: Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season
 

Now we get to see what Lance Lewis can do. Woo Hoo. Might be the best thing that happened all year!

[B]@Redskins

Shanahan: WR @HankTime85 has ACL and LCL surgery today. ACL was not known until surgeons went in there.[/B]


Torn ACL after all.

Re: Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season
 

What moves do we make at the WR position next year?
It seems we have a lot if opportunities in vacancies but what FA's are available ?

Dude sounds like he's gonna be the Michael Vick of WRs; can't make it through a season without a major injury.

At least we've figured out the Mr. Glass of the team.

He's probably done. We probably need to add 3-4 WRs in the offeseason.

There are some names out there that I wouldn't mind seeing although I question the benefit for their cost or whether their teams will let them walk. Ted Ginn comes to mind.

Shanny failed misearably developing O-Linemen and WRs and in free agency not seeing a ton of talent for next year. Guess more shots in the dark in the draft. Guess we should be checking out the talent at Nebraska and SMU. The pipeline of talent we've harvested from those programs is endless.

Done like, career ending?

I think he's probably going to try to come back. Players don't seem to let ACLs hold them down anymore.

Not career ending, but redskins career ending

Re: Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season

Ah.

I think the Skins will hold onto him. At least for one more year, he might be decent if he could stay healthy, but Hank's so fragile.

But they should definitely bring in a few WRs anyway. There needs to be competition at the #2 spot. Sometimes it feels like Garcon is our only threat as Hank doesn't seem to do too much after the catch.

I'm hoping Lance Lewis steps up big and shines. Not that we still won't need more WR's. Moss is slower and old and not showing very well this year. Robinson is a preseason hound then becomes a ghost. Morgan I can't figure out but has really not done much since he's been here.

Since all Morgan can do is block, throw 30lbs of muscle on him and turn him into a TE. He can replace Fred Davis.

I think Lewis could be just as good as Hankerson. When I heard of Hank's injury I just shoulder shrug cause it's not a huge loss imo.

Re: Awesome. Leonard Hankerson out for the Season
 

What about Dennis Pitta? he is coming off of a substantial injury but he is a TE that poses lots of match up problems?
