Patten Doubtful vs Raiders

[Warpath]

If they want to double Moss let them. Thrash always hussles and works hard, he'll pick up some catches. I heard that Jacobs is one of the fastest, so let them 'sleep' on him and then when he burns one downfield they'll realize hes just as significant as Moss is as a threat. I'm definitely NOT saying that Jacobs is in anyway shape or form a Moss but he is fast. I also think that Cooley will get some touches and you can never say Sellers is out of the Offense.

Considering how much Thrash is involved in the offensive scheme as the #3 receiver, I wouldn't expect too much out of Taylor Jacobs this weekend, who will likely take that spot.

I agree,but hopefully Jacobs will prove us both wrong and have a breakout game,it would be nice for a change if one of our players has a career game against somebody instead of the other way around

Yeah, I've been waiting for that "breakout game" from Jacobs for awhile now . . .

Yeah, if Jacobs doesn't do something special soon, he'll probably be gone next year.

I do believe that the Patriots were throwing the ball alot more than we are. Brady was attempting 40+ passes a game. They used those short 3 or 4 yard routes as there run game alot of times. Plus, the Redskins have been throwing to the H-back and TE more than the #2 or #3 receivers. I think, if we continue this trend and teams are focused more on Cooley, Sellers, Royal, Portis and Betts, that it will open things up for Patten and Trash,or Jacobs. Cooley is generally wide open on most of his receptions, as well as Sellers and the backs coming out of the back field. Fact remains, Patten has to do a better job at getting open when his play is called. I think the skins were trying to get him more involved in Tampa, put did not do a great job when his number was called. The first pass to him, he used bad technique on catching. He should have come back for the ball instead of waiting for the ball to come to him. And the ball down the sideline he stopped and lost the battle for the ball. Doesn't seem like he is all there mentally. I think the frustration of not being a threat in the offense may be getting to him. I hope Jacobs steps in and play great. the coaches were so high on him in the offseason because of how hard he worked at Redskin Park when everyone else was on vacation.
