Cut Robert Royal? Sh*t put in Kowalski, at least he doesnt drop everthing thrown his way. Discuss....

Re: Robert Royal
 

I agree, it's time to cut Robert Royal. He can't catch or block, he's pretty much useless.

Re: Robert Royal
 

He definately made some key drops for the Chargers.

Re: Robert Royal
 

yep no doubt he had a bad game today but he has also gotten key touchdowns for the redskins

Re: Robert Royal
 

I've been disappointed with Robert Royal for some time. What about what's his name, Johnson, #87? I say give him some more playing time and see what he can do for us.

Re: Robert Royal
 

for once, i will agree that we need to get rid of him. he drops way too many easy passes, he can't block for shit.

Re: Robert Royal
 

Cut

Re: Robert Royal
 

Sorry to say but he's got to go.

Re: Robert Royal
 

I agree. He always drops passes.

Re: Robert Royal
 

Maybe I have a chance to finally make the Redskins' roster. I have two hands, two legs, and two eyes to help me catch the ball.....something Mr. Royal As-hole can't say.

Re: Robert Royal
 

johnson looked REALLY slow... that said he was 1/1 on passes throw his way... which is better than 1/5 or whatever royal's stats were. TE #2 is still a need. at least jacobs caught his balls and put up reasonable if not good numbers today... 44yards is about where patten was.

Sellers being out hurt us a bit.

Re: Robert Royal
 

Robert Royal was a loser, is a loser and always will be a loser. He simply can't hold onto passes and his dismal showing didn't just start today. He's always been this way.

Re: Robert Royal
 

Royal is garbage, I don't see him coming back next year.

[QUOTE=Mattyk72]Royal is garbage, I don't see him coming back next year.[/QUOTE]

I really think this offense is just a #2 wideout and TE away from doing great things.

Re: Robert Royal
 

man i went to the game and people just started boooing royal after a while, i mean after just the first drop, not that he didn't deserve it but he must have felt like shit after each drop. He shouldn't be on this team though, TEs are suppossed to block and catch, he can't catch so we must be keeping him to block:rolleyes:

Re: Robert Royal
 

He should be Cut Tommorow!!!!! Oh wait tonight!!!

He can't block or catch. So why is he on this team?

[QUOTE=Ramseyfan]He can't block or catch. So why is he on this team?[/QUOTE]

Maybe he's actually royalty?

Seriously though, this could be a bit of a stretch but from what I understand his family down in New Orleans lost everything with Katrina. Thanks to Snyder sending his plane down there, his family made it out there safely. But I wonder if his mind just isn't with football right now.

I forgot about that. The press hasn't updated us about those issues. All will be forgiven if he catches 50 passes in the next 5 games.

Re: Robert Royal
 

He's playing hurt, but I think he's average even when healthy. Given how thin we are at the position, I doubt he will get cut this year.

Re: Robert Royal
 

give him da boot!!

Re: Robert Royal
 

he should definitely get benched...those 3 drops were the easiest catches i have ever seen. there was no one around and they were right to him

Royal is garbage...Who's ready for
 

Robert Johnson, i actually like that guy. Big, [B]CATCHES[/B] and Royal is really not helping us at all.

[B]"All I wanna know is, who's coming with me"[/B]

Re: Royal is garbage...Who's ready for
 

theres already a thread about this, but yea royal blows, start johnson

You know, not to beat the "we should have drafted this guy" into the ground, but ...

Imagine if we took Shawn Merriman instead of Carlos Rogers, and Heath Miller (TE, Virginia) instead of Jason Campbell?

Rogers and Campbell could be members of the Ring of Fame at Fed Ex Field some day, I know. But hey, a Redskin fan can dream, can't he?

Re: (Merged Thread) Robert Royal
 

In context though, A Gates was dropping passes today too, maybe a wet ball?

It's really just excuses for my frustration with the losses.

It would be nice and I understand your point, but I can also see why Gibbs drafted the people he did.

Re: (Merged Thread) Robert Royal
 

Jesus, I didn't realize Robert Johnson is 6'6" and 278 pounds. Can anyone saw jumbo package?

Can the guy block, catch? What's scouting report on this guy? I'll be the best friend of anyone who can post it.

Some old stuff I found:

[url]http://www.masterplangroup.com/Robert.Johnson.htm[/url]

Scouting Report: Johnson's frame, athleticism and soft hands fit the prototypical NFL tight end mold. Football skills warrant a first round choice. Robert is a terrific athlete who looks like a man amongst boys on the field. He is big, powerful, and a dominant blocker at the line. He catches the ball very well in traffic and has outstanding ability to break tackles after the catch. Johnson possesses solid fundamentals in every facet of his game.

[url]http://www.bigblueinteractive.com/draft/drpros03.htm[/url]

Robert Johnson is a big tight end who has the size and long arms to develop into a good blocker. Junior. Needs to get stronger in order to become a more effective in-line blocker. Needs a lot of technique work. Decent underneath receiver for his size. Uses his size and can catch. Flashes some run-after-the-catch ability.

Royal shit the bed everytime a ball was thrown his way, he sucks, cut him, CUT HIM NOW!

I believe Johnson played with Cambell and Rogers at Auburn.

Re: (Merged Thread) Robert Royal
 

I think Royal earned a new nickname with that performance.

Maybe Robert "Rebound" Royal?

or how about good old..."20/80"

Re: (Merged Thread) Robert Royal
 

He realy stood out yesterday with the droped balls. Does anyone know if there is a stat for drop passes? I do not remember Royal droping alot of balls in the past. Did anyone notice how Brown caught the punts it was like I'm not going to make that mistake again.

Re: (Merged Thread) Robert Royal
 

Not to totally disagree with the train of this thread, but Robert Royal was not drafted as a pass catching tight end, he was drafted to be a special teamer and a blocking end (yes, those actually exist - ever hear of Rick Walker?). Injuries and other players not being up to par with the offense (Johnson, Kozlowski) have forced the coaches to use him in areas where he is not well suited, ie. pass catching. Yesterday was not the first game where he dropped multiple passes either. He is a solid, if unspectacular blocker, which is why he is still on the team.
I would cut him though, I'm sure thay can find someone to block as well, if not better.

Haha! I was JUST noticing that yesterday. However, I bet he runs one back against St. Louis.

This doesn't sound like a blocking TE to me:

[quote][b]College:
[/b]At LSU, he finished his career with 59 receptions for 707 yards (12.0 avg) and seven touchdowns while starting 24 of 42 games.

His reception and yardage totals rank third in school history among tight ends while his seven scores rank second.

2001 Season: As a big, athletic tight end, Royal was often used by LSU to stretch the defense. He is a solid route runner and is considered a very effective pass catcher with an impressive burst heading upfield.
[/quote]

Besides, does anyone really think Spurrier was drafting a TE with blocking in mind? LOL Please.

Re: (Merged Thread) Robert Royal
 

He and Frost must go. Frost was a big problem yesterday.
