-- Zorn to Talk to Lloyd Before Cutting Him --

Let him go.
He's an overpaid bust. Don't let Cerrato off the hook for that one!

You mean dont let Gibbs off the hook for that one.

It never occurred to me until now that there was any way he could be on the roster next year, but this actually isn't a terrible idea. The more I think about it, and I can't believe I'm saying this, the more I think it could work. If Zorn can get him to buy into the program he could be a dangerous threat in his offense.

Let him go.

You mean don't let Al Saunders off the hook for that one.

From the article:
The two players Saunders thought offered the best chance to make that happen: San Francisco's Brandon Lloyd and Pittsburgh's Antwaan Randle El. In mid-March, Washington traded for Lloyd and signed Randle El.
"He pushed hard for them," said Bob Saunders, Al's son and a Redskins assistant. "Everyone knows what Brandon can do on the football field, his speed, the acrobatic catches. With Randle El, it's what he can do in the slot, the double moves, his cutting ability. Getting them really expanded the offense."

Perfect! I think all Redskins fans can agree on blaming Saunders:)

The concern w/Loyd goes beyond what he might do on the field. A good year for him here might be 30 catches & 1-2 td's compared to his first 2 years. But what is the downside? that's the question Zorn et al will need to answer. Is he going to be more of a problem for a 1st year coach?

I bet the likes of Buges & Blache & other vet coaches will advise Zorn to cut him asap. Zorn is just doing due diligence & trying to show that he's fair.

Zorn may have a more relaxed clubhouse atmosphere that tolerates guys wearing profanity on their hats thus not creating any extra tension. It's hard dealing with whiny crybabies that are used to getting their way but some people work better with them than others. Hopefully Zorn is that guy.

BL = sunk cost. We need to just eat it.

Hopefully it will be a quick talk to tell him he's cut.

This makes sense because Brandon Lloyd was a model citizen and not a malcontent in San Francisco. He never caused problems in that locker room and his actions in Washington are totally without precedent. Because the Redskins really did great research before trading picks for him and there were no signs at all that he would be a problem once he got to Washington ....

Oh, wait ... nevermind ...

Several signs point to Lloyd departure (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/03/11/SPGH9HML4D1.DTL&hw=brandon+lloyd&sn=004&sc=933)

I think we can't place blame on one person for BL. The whole FO/Head Coach get the blame for allowing the trade to get BL. Even if Al Saunders wanted BL, it doesn't mean that we had to do it.

I agree though, let's just cut our losses.
