Redskins 2018 Off Season Re/Signings

The biggest thing working with a new receiver group is having a trust in the receivers making plays despite being covered,” Gruden said. “A lot of times he needs to see guys being open instead of throwing guys open from time to time. That’s the next step. Then when you do that, they have to make plays for you. You’ll never know until those balls are thrown.”

At times Doctson was open for more chances. Other times he dropped passes that could have resulted in big plays. The Redskins also want to add a speedy receiver opposite Doctson to create more openings for big plays – much like Jackson did in clearing out areas if nothing else.

Gruden hopes, if Cousins does return, that he can build upon his experience with Doctson. They don’t want Cousins to see “ghosts” – a defensive back who might be somewhat near the area but not close enough to make a play on the ball.

"Seeing ghosts" I like that. Doc 100% still has untapped upside without a doubt. I have a feeling he breaks out more this next season it's time.

If he has a QB that trusts him and works with him then everything should improve.

Galette was actually very effective with his limited snaps last year in terms of his pressure rate

It was really surprising to see Galette and Preston ranked in top 5 for QB pressures. One looking at that list consisting Preston, Galette and Kerrigan would assume Redskins ranked in top 3 for most sacks in 2017. I certainly hope we will at least make efforts to bring him back but at reasonable price although, I wouldn't mind if Redskins give him a contract that is loaded with incentives that could lead to big money for Galette if he made lot of sacks and/or QB pressures. We will find out what other teams think of him soon enough. Also, I wonder if Scot would encourage Browns to sign him?

Cooley likes Galette a lot.

He says amongst available FA edge rushers, a part from Demarcus Lawrence, there's no one he'd take over resigning our guys (Murphy and Galette + Kerrigan, Smith and Anderson already under contract).

This segment about Defensive FA confirmed how I already felt about what needs to be done this OS: bring back our guys, find a true #1 WR in FA, improve at RB (to me Crowell, Deion Lewis, or draft), and then draft defense, guard, and defense defense defense!

I could see him with the Rams. I think he wants to be back here but I don’t think we want to pay him anything outrageous

Man I hope Doctson turns a corner and becomes our big threat! unless we have a sure fire pro bowl player at pick 13 we should trade down and get extra picks WR,RB for sure. lets give Smith some tools!

Landry, Doctson, Crowder, draft pick

Reed at TE if he can finally stay healthy, I am just asking for 12 games, I like that group

Doctson didn’t exactly make the most of his opportunities last year. He needs to start coming up with the tough catches more often than not.

That is where practice comes in. They were saying even in practice Cousins was not throwing those balls which would drop rhythm and trust as well as experience.

True. This is an area where Smith will be an improvement.

But what is also true is Kirk took more and more shots down the field throughout the season, threw some 50/50 like he was asked to... And Doctson dropped many of those... Several TDs...

Our receiver corps didn't deliver last season. No excuse.

With the quality of our cornerbacks the practice field was perfect for experience. Kirk should have just been throwing balls up all day for Doctson to learn how to battle and keep balls against NFL level CBs.

I am really hoping Smith works on rhythm then builds up WR confidence.

That is why part of me hopes they keep Pryor and give him at least a chance.

Yes he should have.

But that's not an excuse for dropping not (or very little) contested balls...

Why would you keep Pryor? He was virtually non existent in the offense last year. Draft a couple Wrs in this upcoming draft. Pryor had an entire season to prove himself and he was a flop.
