Redskins may go after Gabriel - Rumors - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

redskins looking at gabriel?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Of course in this case he is one of the guys who the axe fell on. That would be why he's available.

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

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

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

NicknacK89 · 08-29-2007, 01:20 PM

id rather have reggie by far

SmootSmack · 08-29-2007, 01:31 PM

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.

12thMan · 08-29-2007, 01:33 PM

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