Gibbs: "McCants still in the picture"
It was just reported on redskins.com, that Gibbs said that McCants is still part of the Redskins plans. This definitely comes as a relief to me. I have always thought McCants has the potential to be something special. Maybe he has decided to give Special Teams a try. LOL. Anyway, he's the big reciever that we need on our roster. Also, I think the quote from Gibbs hints that we won't be going reciever at the #9 spot. Here's the link.

Re: Gibbs: "McCants still in the picture"
I think those comments. I completely believe that if you have speed, size doesn't matter as much.

Very nice, let's hope McCants takes advantage of this opportunity.

Matty:
We need to designate someone to deliver a 10 EEE suppository to McCants every time he loafs in a minicamp drill or misses a fitness/lifting session. That might get him into the offense as the posession receiver faster than anything else.

 If we do incorporate Mccants into the gameplan this year like he was in 2003, we could have 3 very reliable red zone targets in givens, mccants, and cooley. As far as him being lined up at te at times, I could see that happening if he gained a little more bulk without losing too much speed. He could easily then have the same type of build, and hopefully impact, of a player like Antonio Gates. |

Re: Gibbs: "McCants still in the picture"
I'm wondering if McCants isn't really in the dog house but simply didn't have a place on this team last year. I mean he is a 6'4" 220 WR without blazing speed. Where does he get used on special teams? He certainly isn't going to play in front of guys like Thrash outside. Last year Coles, Gardner, Jacobs and Thrash HAD to be active. We only carried 4 game day guys early on becasue of Oline a DLine issues and later when the oline settled down we had more secondary injuries than china has people. Plus Morton got hurt leaving Thrash requried for ST no matter what and eventually they gave Brown a shot so they could get Thrash back into the offense. So even when went to 5 game day WR it was simply because we had no choice. There was never a place for McCants to get in. It cannot be lost on Gibbs and comp that McCants isn't exactly a ST type of player. At least not on a good special teams. Maybe with Gardner gone McCants becomes our possession guy. If we don't draft anyone then he is the only one who fits the bill in the traditional sense.

Re: Gibbs: "McCants still in the picture"
I sent him a message on through that players site that it was his opportunity and it's up to him if he wants to take it, maybe he is responding to me... then agian most likely not.

Re: Gibbs: "McCants still in the picture"
I like the McCants. I'd like to see him emerge as a threat again. Just as a possession receiver because that's what he is. I don't think he played TE in college.

Re: Gibbs: "McCants still in the picture"
I think he's way too small (density) to be playing TE at this level.
