(and Leonard Hankerson... this is your wake-up call.)

Pierre had the injury two years ago and came back to lead the league in rec's and break the Redskins season record. I have no more a doubt he will play all 16 games ( and three more &#128521 than anybody else will.
Being a Miami guy I sure hope Hank steps up. My God if he does our wr corp will be amazing.

Roster Reset: Washington Redskins - NFL Videos

Didn't see this commented on.. By this interview, Jeff Darlington says DJax went BACK to LA after his signing to meet up with RG3 again (around 1:17 in video). That's surprising, but if that's true, its certainly encouraging that they are already getting along so well and on the same page. Last year, it seemed that RG3 only targeted Garcon in high-profile situations (esp when Reed was out), and now he could really mix it up.

A good draft and we could legitimately be back in the mix.

He certainly has more options thats for sure but I'm confused as to what Garcon's current type is. Some people seem to consider him a deep threat others view him as a work the middle/intermediate type.

Personally I prefer to think of him as a possession receiver with deep threat capabilities.

As you can see though a lot of Garcons big plays seem to involve him running past a defense thats already in front of him, this in contrast to DJax who has more then his fair share of big plays where the defense is already behind him when he's making the catch.

PG's game is run and catch. He's not a possession/throw it to the sticks type and he's not a just run past the secondary and catch the ball type either. Get him the ball with some space though and he can do some damage.

IMO that's a good way of understanding Garcon.

Jackson owes Drew Rosenhaus over $500,000.

If Hankerson stays healthy the whole season, I bet they resign him next year. If he gets hurt again, though, he'll probably be gone. However, I wonder how long Roberts is going to be here. It's obvious that he isn't as important now due to the unexpected release of Djax and the subsequent signing. Perhaps they trade him for a draft pick and select a WR to develop while Garcon and Jackson are in their primes. If that happens, Hankerson's chances of sticking around here get a lot better.

we're not trading roberts for a pick :P

Likely not this offseason, and that would be a good thing, but what about next year? Roberts said he wants to be a #2, and he's not that important to the team now, with Jackson around. Wouldn't be at all suprised if he's traded next year; unless he has a great statistical season...which is doubtful...unless Garcon and/or Jackson misses a lot of time...which is also doubtful.

Roberts will be our slot and KR, he isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

This was pretty much your first round draft pick. Great move.

Cooper gets counseling for abusing a black security guard with a racial slur on videotape, and Jackson gets cut for some amorphous bull**** "gang-related" activities? The Eagles are fucking idiots.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Slot guy in 3 WR sets for Roberts or moving outside and sliding PG in the slot is a good role for Roberts. He is going to be getting plenty of balls his way and he will have a lot of time on the field in those types of sets. He may not be on the field for every play but he will have a chanc to get a lot of work.

Nicely done by Keim, also has a link to a Washington Post article written by Kent Babb. Both Keim's and Babb's are worth the read:

I don't think that's why he got cut. I think it had more to do with his commitment to Chip Kelly's way of football.
