More Peter King Madness

Toooooo much attention given to "typical attributes", by so-called experts who produce nothing, and are never held accountable for their redicularium. Not enough given to ability of a player to deliver the goods. Our guys live by jungle law "eat or be eaten". Media types live by the the cafeteria law. $5.95, ALL THE SHIT YOU CAN EAT!

holy crap...save this article

peter king is retarded

Hey Peter King, I remember some small receivers on the St. Rams back in 2000 and how did they do? Bruce, Holt and Hakim. If you can get separation, who cares how big you are. The rules are set up for speed at the receiver position. You don't have to always be physical to be sucessful. Let's face it, Peter King hates the Skins! What more needs to be said.

Apparantely King is on the big WR bandwagon too. Kinda surprised since he has no love for Monk, one of the best big WRs ever.

Hypocrite.

We do have a big, physical receiver: Chris Cooley.

Keeping in mind the role of Al Saunders in this, how do you think the Chiefs would have done with Moss, R-El & Lloyd (I'm not saying that Cooley is Gonzo, but the kid has some chops)? My guess is that they would have been pretty amazing.

The question I have for all the haters: Is it jealousy or envy?

Both, with a little ignorance sprinkled on top.

I was just thinking the same thing. This could be the 2000 Rams (who had Al Saunders as WR coach) all over again. Check out the comparisons:

2000 St. Louis Rams (with stats for 2000 season):

Marshall Faulk (5'10", 211 lbs., 27) 253 carries, 1359 yards, 18 TDs, 81 rec., 830 yards, 8 TDs

Isaac Bruce (6'0", 188 lbs., 27) 87 rec., 1471 yards, 9 TDs
Az-zahir Hakim (5'10", 189 lbs, 23) 53 rec., 734 yards, 4 TDs
Torry Holt (6'0", 190 lbs., 24) 82 rec., 1635 yards, 6 TDs
Ricky Proehl (6'0", 190 lbs., 32) 31 rec., 441 yards, 4 TDs

2006 Washington Redskins:

Clinton Portis (5'11, 205 lbs., 25-when 2006 season begins)

Santana Moss (5'10", 185 lbs., 25)
Brandon Lloyd (6'0", 192 lbs., 25)
Antwaan Randle El (5'10", 192 lbs., 27)
David Patten (5'10", 190 lbs., 32)
Chris Cooley (6'3", 265 lbs., 24)

very true, and honestly i think we may even have more weapons than them. i just really watn brunell to spread the ball around lke warner did.

I'm not too worried about having all four be the same size, I am more worried about having the last three be comparable in skill, and thus think they all deserve the ball. Patten was already complaining about not getting the ball enough when he was the clear number two before his injury (that sounds funny, number two, poop, hahaha) and although I don't think he is as good as the two guys we are bringing in, he is definitely in their same category.

I guess opening up the offense with our new OC Saunders might help get more balls out there, and having three legitimate WR threats on the field at a time will help Portis, but I think I would have preferred to get EITHER Randle El OR Lloyd, and spend the other contract on a DE or LB or DB.

But, hey, if we end up having enough money for everyone, the more the merrier. Depth is nice, but I think one great receiver and two good receivers is enough. Draft a rookie or sign a cheap vet for the fourth spot.

P.S. Schneed, yesterday I somehow followed a link to an Eagles message board and read their "Skins bashing" thread from around February. You were tearing them up. It was hilarious. Belated congratulations.

they said moss was a downgrade. they're idiots. they should learn from their mistakes... were there even any good "big" WRs available? sure it's nice to have them but i just don't think that's our style.
