Redskins 2018 Off Season Re/Signings

[Skins4L]

If Smith wins the bowl or gets us close cool but otherwise I thought it was a gross move.
Now we have to dip back into WR FA, Kirk was damn near developing WRs for us last year with that young unknown group.

I just know Landry isn't a fit. Let's attack defense again and draft a rookie.

No actually it seems he was hurting the WRs.

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.
