Scouts Inc. Profile:

Randle El is an outstanding athlete. He has outstanding foot quickness and excellent speed. However, he lacks elite top-end speed. It doesn't take him long to reach top speed and he shows that he is capable of creating separation from a defender by coming out of cuts with a burst. He has great body control and does not have to gear down to make cuts. He has excellent hands and can catch the ball away from his body and on the run. He is a threat whenever he touches the ball because of his slashing running ability and elusiveness. He is always a threat to turn a short play into a big play and does an excellent job with short-to-intermediate routes in the middle of the field. He shows great awareness and knows instinctively what to do when a play breaks down. He works hard at blocking downfield, but lacks the stature to be a dominant blocker. He lacks the elite speed to run by corners and get the separation needed to be a vertical threat and struggles at times to get off press coverage. He has great leaping ability, however, his lack of height will not let him win many jump ball contests. He tends to lose his focus and concentration and may drop some easy catches, but he has improved a great deal in this area. He is a dangerous threat as a punt returner and offers versatility to the offense with his ability to throw the ball on gadget plays. He needs to continue to improve his route running skills and needs to use his quickness more to get off press coverage.

I'm not sure why all the Buzz over this guy. Geez, help win 1 SB, and everyone's talkin!

Stats don't tell the whole story with Randle El, plus you have to consider he's played in a pretty conservative offense in Pittsburgh. He's a jack of all trades which doesn't hurt either.

[PWNED]

anyone feeling the randle el reverse pass with our first play from scrimmage next year? i hope the skins use his atheltic ability like Pitts did (and hopefully more).

Given the right tires, that sounds pretty fun actually.

moss -> 1500 yards
R'El -> 600 yards

he wants to do it, he's the #3, let him have at it.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm as giddy as a child on Christmas day. The Skins picked up the top two free agent wide receivers (Brandon Lloyd and Antwaan Randle El). The receiving corps went from being a weakness to a strength. With Portis, Cooley, Moss, Patten, Lloyd, and Randle El, Al Saunders can run his complete offense. Now, if only Danny Boy can land a defensive end.

Now you and I are on the same wave!

[RedskinPete]

Will EL return Kicks and punts???? Throw Brown off the buss. That guy was so scary....every time I held my breath....please don't turn over the ball!!!!

[VTSkins897]

the only issue is definitely the money but it never seems that we get into too much trouble with that. that being said it seems we've a lot of talented receivers out there now.

moss, cooley, lloyd, randle el, patten etc. makes me wonder if maybe we should have stuck with either randle el OR lloyd and gotten a solid DE (which everyone is shouting for). i think we need another solid CB as well.

now if we still manage to pick up talent at these positions then im def not worried at all! hopefully this won't keep us from it though.
