Game Thread: Patriots vs. Redskins

While I like Grant and am hopeful that he will develop. I think it is a little early to be nominating him into the Hall of Studliness.

C'mon, man! If 3 catches for 37 yards in a preseason game isn't enough, what will be?

No, but seriously, Grant looked good. Speed isn't that big of a problem because he's so smooth, but he needs a few years to add strength and get better off the line and I think he can be a solid receiver. Not a Josh Gordon-level stud, but a Wes Welker-without-a-Brady-or-Manning-throwing-the-ball-level stud.

No, Grant is not ready for the Hall of Studliness. He needs to work on getting off jams on the line. As it is, in the regular season he'll just disappear because defenders will take him out of the pattern from the beginning.

He also will never be a speedy deep threat.

But he has the Welker-like route-running, quickness, and hands to be very good in short and intermediate routes. Reminds me of Fred Biletnikoff.

Hopefully he will develop into an essential part of our passing attack.
