I've got a great idea. Why don't you bring in a 33 year old WR who is a known coach and QB killer who once did a jig on the Dallas Star. That should really help build some locker room chemistry.
that was sucha great moment in skins history when he went after the star.

ok why was it such a great moment in skins history, it had nothing to do with your team??? or player? in my opinion beating us last year at home a thing you hadn't do in 10 years losing 13-0 had more meening but hey what ever gets you high.

Also I agree with the TO call I'm not in favor of it..... but that doesn't answers the question I placed before why pay #2 or #1 wr money to a #3? and also you have 4 wr with the same body frame and type of game play you don't have an actual posesion recevier.

Explaining things to Dallas fans is never easy, but I'll give it a shot. ;-)

Saunders big body possession receiver in KC was Gonzo. Here it is Cooley.

The reason why it is worth it to pay what it takes to get those new #2 and #3 receivers is that it is an automatic upgrade at the following positions:

WR2
WR3
WR1
QB
RB
TE/H-Back

As TO fails to understand, this is a team game. The passing game has been improved for less money and at less risk than going out and buying another QB.

These moves should be much easier to grasp than most of the ones The Crypt Keeper (J. Jones) has made over the years.

Hey, I knew you were out there somewhere!
I think Moss had possesion when he torched your "golden boy" safety on MNF.

How was that ride home when it was 35-0???

You're absolutely right about the Monday Night Miracles. That was undoubtedly one of the best Redskins moments in recent history.

But, I fail to see how it matters that we lack a possession wideout when we have one of the best WR corps in the league. Moreover, I think Cooley will fill the "possession receiver" role quite nicely.

I don't want to make any bold predictions right now, but I'd venture to guess that your defense will have its hands full the next time we meet. Who wouldn't? Moss, Portis, Cooley, Randle El, Lloyd, Patten, et al form a pretty powerful punch.

its not #1 money. moss produced 8$mill worth of stats last year, he got paid 1.5mill base. its cause the skins believe the other two will perform better in the future than they have up to this point. 24 and 26 year old WRs in 7 year contracts.

the new cba has prices going up by 15-20% instead of 5% like normal years. 3 years from now (should they not bust) these deal will be considered cheap as well.


and lloyd IS a possession receiver. he can jump insanely high and get his arm up for a one hand catch. he's not as fast as the other 3, but he's about as shifty and as good at getting yards after the catch.

TEs can also be possession guys.
