Laveranues Coles is a serious problem. He has been playing at not nearly the level he was before his toe injury a couple of years ago. He didn't get it operated on in the offseason; apparently he was advised it would get better just through rest. It apparently didn't. Now it comes out in today's Post that Coles doesn't want to get it operated on this offseason.
If I am the Redskins, I tell Coles he doesn't have a choice in this - get it operated on or go on the trading block immediately. We cannot afford to go into another season with Coles as the #1 receiver limping around - for the third year in a row.
Taylor Jacobs - I would look to make him a starter next year if he plays his way into it in training camp. He provides spark and I like what I have seen and heard about him.
Rod Gardner - goodbye, and good luck to you. I had high hopes for you but like Trevor says, I am through with waiting for you to become consistent. We can't afford to wait for you anymore. I would trade him for whatever we can get.
Darnerian McCants - I don't know why the coaches don't seem very high on you, but it doesn't seem to be happening here, and if it ever was going to, you would think it would have happened by now. I would look to trade McCants, and if a decent offer is not forthcoming, let him compete one more time in training camp.
Mike Williams - if he is available, I would sure look to draft him. We need spark with our receivers and he would look good opposite Taylor Jacobs.
If we jettison Coles, Gardner and McCants, we will obviously need to bring in other players besides Williams, through free agency to get some experience and maybe another player in the draft as well. James Thrash can play more as well and I am sure he would contribute very well if called upon.
