I felt kinda bad for Breeland in the Giants game. He was very limited during PS, suspended week 1 (away from facilities), then week 3 had to step in to take D Halls place.
For the most part, he was in good position but plays just didnt go his way. I was hoping he would continue to play aggressive and physical this year and prove last year wasnt a fluke.
With Breeland and Culliver, we have w physical capable corners. That should open up options for Fewell and Barry.

Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall visited a specialist and came away with the same diagnosis as the original one: He'll only miss three to four weeks with a sprained right toe, according to Redskins coach Jay Gruden.

Good news, looked like an achilles. |
I agree -- the last TD he had a hand on the ball and was right there. Lucky bounce and great adjustment by Randle to pull it in. Hard to be too down about it. The catch by Beckham was pretty awesome too -- and Breeland had decent position. Not many receivers can do that. Those were the Giant's two big plays -- just happened to be on Breeland. I think he'll be OK.
More worried about depth. With Rodgers on IR, Amerson gone, and Hall hurt, we're really, really thin back there. I feel good about Breeland and Culliver, but we really have very little depth at this point. Not sure what Blackmon has left in the tank. Sounds like Quinton Dunbar is back -- he's intriguing to me. Great size, although little experience (obviously), but I thought did pretty well in the preseason under the circumstances. Maybe in time....?
BTW, I noticed that Bacarri Rambo is playing reasonably well for the Bills. Good players around him no doubt help. But given our problems in safety over the years (and he was one of them, to be sure, while he was a Redskin), it's frustrating to see that. it'd be nice for us to take someone else's project and then turn them into quality depth. I don't recall the last time we did that.
