Are the redskins gearing up for 5 WR sets?

If it's 5 WR, my guess is one of them WON'T be Lloyd. Check out this depressing tidbit from JLac's blog (the stuff about Campbell working out AFTER practice with his WRs is great--the absence of Lloyd is not):

Things That Make You Go Hmmmm

Anyone else wonder if just maybe the fact that Clinton Portis has tendinitis now might have something to do with why he wasn't in the game for those final two plays in Week 3? I mean, unless he hurt himself slipping in the locker room after the game or something, then you'd have to imagin he got hurt in the actual game itself, right?

Yeah, I know Betts and Portis and "interchangeable" and all, but some players out here believe Portis re-injured his knee in the fourth quarter of that game, forcing him to the sidelines in that final drive. I am told that Jason Campbell may have said as much on the radio this morning.

Hey, I get why teams hide injuries, etc., but Portis, Gibbs and Bubba Tyer all said the tailback was perfectly fine after that game, and in the ensuing days. Bottom line: It's no surprise the tendinitis flared back up - that's what it does and Portis plays a brutally physical position - and like the team said in the offseason, it's much harder to control the rest and rehab during the season than it is before the grind begins.

Also, forgot to mention this yesterday, but well afer practice Campbell and Todd Collins were working with the receivers in shorts and t-shirts, running lots of routes, working on timing. Now, Santana Moss - who very well could miss Sunday's game with a groin injury - was not taking part, obviously, and neither was one other wide receiver, for what it's worth.

Randle El, Thrash, McCardell, and Caldwell were excitedly doing the extra work. Maybe it doesn't mean anything, but the omission of the other healthy wideout did not go un-noticed around here, with hiim back in the locker room while the rest of his position group was working.

Thanks for the post! Good info.

Can we trade Lloyd before the deadline!

I just read this too. Loyd isn't even trying anymore to impress the coaches I bet. He's gonna get paid & he knows it. If he had any foresight, he would think about his value after this season. AT this rate he's on track to get released then signed by some team to a 1 yr. vet min. deal.

Maybe he wants to get paid and then quit football to become a singing star? Hammer Time!

Lloyd knows he wont see the field unless the guys ahead of him all drop dead, so he's gonna get paid and be on his way out to prove himself elsewhere. Why would he put himself through extra work when he knows he won't see the light of day from his dog house?

It's a damn shame that someone with so much potential has pretty much shiat the bed while here in Washington. I like McCardell and Caldwell for depth, but they are just a very short term fix. I'd like to see the Skins go out and get a bona fide #2, whether via Free Agency or through the draft.

Is BL on special teams coverage at all? Ive never seen him on kick offs or punt coverage.

We have fast wr's but we need big and fast! Look how hard it is to cover Moss, Owens, Burris,Roy Williams, Etc

Lloyd said on Monday that if McCardell can help the Redskins win, then he welcomes the move.

"Whatever we can do to win--that's my motto," Lloyd said. "I'm just focused on this season, this season only, and hopefully everything will work out."
Said Gibbs: "With Brandon, he has been in there on a number of plays, but we just haven't got hooked up on him. As a matter of fact, Chris Cooley only has five catches right now, which is disappointing. "We're hoping that Brandon can be more productive as we go."

Honestly ever time Llyod says somthing he gives the right answear. I really hope its sincere.

Do you think there is any trade value left for Lloyd

Lloyd on the open market...the Skins would have to pay someone to take him off their hands. A case of Schlitz and a can of Beer Nuts is about what he's worth.

His contract is worth way too much for someone to take a "chance" on him. Why trade for him when the league knows damn well that he's gone after the season.
