Redskins Claim WR Dezmon Briscoe
 

Mentioned this is another thread but thought it merited its own thread since it might get lost in the shuffle there

Awesome!! I wonder if Shanny's going to pencil him in opposite Hank? This guy's going to kill it.

Not sure if serious.

Briscoe led the Bucs in TD's last year but he also just failed his conditioning test with Tampa.

Re: Redskins Claim WR Dezmon Briscoe
 

Meh, seems like a player with some potential as 4th or 5th WR

I guess they're continuing the trend started during the offseason.
Bolstering the OL by signing WRs.
Seems counter intuitive to me, but hey what do I know?

Even I can't decipher that

His departure from Tampa was more due to not showing up for all voluntary workouts this offseason, Schiano wanting to implement a new culture which means some surprise cuts.

Bucs had planning to move him long before he failed his conditioning test (and who knows what that means exactly).

I like this move. A lot, actually

Yes. There's an internet meme fad with that theme.

Re: Redskins Claim WR Dezmon Briscoe
 

I've seen it on reddit a few times. Took me forever to figure it out.

Re: Redskins Claim WR Dezmon Briscoe
 

This guy was born in Dallas..cut him now

Re: Redskins Claim WR Dezmon Briscoe
 

You know I thought that's what it was, but wasn't sure. I'm so old

Re: Redskins Claim WR Dezmon Briscoe
 

I mean after moss, hankerson, garcon, morgan are corps aren't great. Briscoe as the 5th for depth is great

Re: Redskins Claim WR Dezmon Briscoe
 

I smell another undrafted rookie fan favorite emerging. It's surprising how we get caught up in these preseason heroes year after year and yet none of them ever do anything in the regular season.

Relax, that spots reserved for Brian Hernandez. Everyone knows that. Seriously though does anyone know why hes 28??? I still cant figure it out.

Regardless Briscoe is a 6th round pick. Does his play remind anyone else of Devin Thomas?

Doesn't matter, he was cut in favor of briscoe

I like the move. If it works cool, if it doesn't he gets cut and we know what we already have. I think it's a good gamble. He
may be hungry to prove The Bengals wrong. We need hungry guys this. But like I said if he's a dud, then he gets the good ol Future Endeavors letter.

Wrestling Fans will get that.

Damn dont know how i missed that. I assumed he took Minnifield's spot. Are we at the 90 roster spot capacity then?

Re: Redskins Claim WR Dezmon Briscoe
 

Are we being serious that Brian Hernandez got cut for this guy?? Bad move. Hernandez was a slot guy..Briscoe isn't judging by his size and highlights.

Re: Redskins Claim WR Dezmon Briscoe
 

Yeah Hernandez was released. Not sure if a direct correlation though

Re: Redskins Claim WR Dezmon Briscoe
 

Really? We're getting upset about a 28 year old camp body who's done nothing at all in the NFL getting released?

I mean I wished that I could have atleast seen him play in a preseason game, but its whatever.

Who? The Kansas briscoe?

Re: Redskins Claim WR Dezmon Briscoe
 

Hernandez was the longest of long shots. It is not a surprise that he is home early.

Re: Redskins Claim WR Dezmon Briscoe
 

Another WR? Dear god...lol You'd think after bringing in 2 FAs, drafting Hank and Moss returning that they would be good. What the hell, it's only training camp.

Didn't you know, every single guy we cut goes on to become a major contributor/pro bowler/hall of famer on another team. Look at Cult Brennan and Marko Mitchell. :Smoker:

Re: Redskins Claim WR Dezmon Briscoe
 

Maybe he'll produce like Laurent Robinson did with DAL.

Re: Redskins Claim WR Dezmon Briscoe
 

Bruce Allen obviously thinks something of him to claim him off waivers. Maybe he'll be a pleasant surprise.

Well look at how many wr New England has signed this off season. I don't hear anyone complaining or making jokes about what they do.

Hernandez, the new and improved Lumsden. <sigh>

Yeah, bruce I believe drafted him. And he probably asked Raheem if he was worth bringing on.

He was drafted by the Bengals not Allen.

Re: Redskins Claim WR Dezmon Briscoe
 

As someone posted earlier, best case he does for us what Laurent Robinson did for Dallas last year, come in, play if/when someone gets hurt and makes the most of his opportunity. If not, then he's a camp body that plays with us until the end of August and we don't have to think about him again.

Gauging from the fact that 4 teams also put claims in for him, he's 22 and would be the youngest and biggest (and statistically one of the more accomplished over the past 16 games played) receivers on our roster, chances are he makes the final 53.

Re: Redskins Claim WR Dezmon Briscoe
 

But why did he fail his physical with the Bucs? What type of injury is Dezmon Briscoe recuperating from?

Briscoe had been waived by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He led the Buccaneers with six touchdown catches last season but, according to reports, missed some of the team’s voluntary offseason workouts and failed the club’s conditioning test before training camp. According to the Tampa Bay Times, that test requires players to run 16 sprints of 110 yards apiece in a predetermined amount of time.

Re: Redskins Claim WR Dezmon Briscoe
 

There's a rumor going around, that Fat Al was Briscoe's trainner for the conditioning drill.
