B. Lloyd Makes Interesting Comments

I'm just going to keep my mouth shut. My mind is made up about Lloyd, I just hope I'm proven wrong.

And another thing, when Gibbs sat down with him I'm sure the first thing he said to him wasn't, "Brandon, I'm really concerned about your passion for winning".

For context, you might want to say "The first thing Gibbs said to Lloyd..."

onlydarksets · 12-07-2006, 08:51 AM

The only reason I'm not worried is that Gibbs won't tolerate it if it becomes a problem. Unlike in San Fran, Lloyd won't get the opportunity to "play for himself" - Gibbs will bench him.

It's probably the kind of venting that the whole team feels, but nobody is saying. If he can direct the fire to the field, then so what. However, that remains to be seen. He's played decently, but hasn't been asked (or given the chance) to carry too heavy a load yet.

Loyd doesn't seem like much of a football player to me. He's a guy know to make the spectacular catch but drop the routine one. Sound familiar? Like a #87 1st rnd. pick out of Clemson? actually, he hasn't had enough of a career to even compete w/50-50 yet.
For all of his flash, S Moss is still a football player. He takes the hits & gets up, tries to get extra yards & has never shown signs of giving up.
Loyd has yet to exhibit any of those qualities. Maybe he & AA will serve as examples for next year; if you don't perform you'll get benched.

People are hyping B. Lloyd's comments too hard. He basically said he is frustrated that he and the team aren't performing. He wanted to make the playoffs and it doesn't look like it's going to happen. Plus he likes to have fun on the field and that's what football is suppose to be.... fun!

Welcome to the board! Nice blog

Lloyd just sounds like a moron whenever he speaks. He might not have that bad of intentions, but he is incapable of sharing his feelings without sounding like an ignorant dumbass. It would be better if he just kept his mouth shut before he embaresses himself further. However, I agree we don't go downfield to him enough.

They interviewed he & Rogers at a Wizards game the week after we beat Dallas & Loyd was fairly well spoken. He said that Gibbs told all the new guys that the fans want to beat Dallas more than anything. He was much more articulate than Rogers, but I also got a sense that he was saying the right things to please the audience. That's whats scary about his comments to the post, he's smart enough to know what to say, but he doesn't actually say it, instead almost saying that he'll do it again.
We've tried going downfield to him more as the season's gone on, but I've yet to see him get more than a half-step of separation past a cb in man on man coverage, even the one he dropped in Tampa.

The Zimmermans · 12-07-2006, 10:54 AM

yeah, he doesn't get much separation, but he can go up and get the ball, we just need to throw the ball near him and put some air under it.

bigSkinsfan61 · 12-07-2006, 05:21 PM

hmmmmm sounds like hes a jackass....grow up brandon....

dmek25 · 12-08-2006, 06:36 AM

the guy shows some passion and everyone wants to crucify him? there is one thing about acting like a professional. there is also, the player who still gets excited about playing a kids sport. i think alot of people are over reacting

I guess Gibbs doesn't appreciate his "passion".

Do you think Gibbs is also overreacting?

dmek25 · 12-08-2006, 11:10 AM

gibbs is old school, and there is no place for throwing a helmet on the field. that 15 yards it caused the skins is a moot point, because the game was over by then
