Ok..before i get all the criticism think about some of these things:

1. It's only his second year with the Redskins and alot of players take a bit of time to transition from one team to another.

2. Despite low production in his receiving yards as of last year, Lloyd was overlooked on his blocking skills...I can recall countless times when he threw a block that set up a big play for his teamates.. eg. Clinton Portis @ Home Dallas Game; Portis Big Reception @ Texans; 1st Santana Moss Reception for TD playing Jaguars and etc.. they ARE there if you look..

3. I know that alot of the coaches and players talked about how much time and effort he put in this offseason in his workouts to gain weight and produce this season...

4. It seems like all the players seem to genuinly "like" Brandon as if he's been accepted as one of the guys. It doesnt sound like they are just saying that but more as if they are sincere and want him to succeed, and not as the "Locker Room Cancer" that hes been labeled.

5. The responses from alot of the fans make me believe that people think Lloyd is a "bad" guy but if you look at him on the sidelines hes jumping around staying positive; hes doing charity work (there was that whole thing on NFL total access portraying his stuff) and it leads me to believe that the interpretations of this guy are wrong.

Sure, his production has dropped alot this year.. but when has been in the game alot? He's had two long balls that were poorly thrown by Campbell in his direction...(one in the Miami game which was intercepted & the other overthrown off his fingertips in the Packers game) Honestly, they need to just put him in BETTER situations where he can be more productive rather than keep him on the sidelines...
