Stan Hixon

[rbanerjee23]

Am I alone in thinking that Stan Hixon might have to be shown the door or at least pressured to improve the performance of the Wide Receiver Unit?

In countless analyses, it has been shown that a big reason the Redskins offense stalled the last eight or so weeks is because the vertical passing game became nonexistent. Not because of any suffocating defenses faced but rather that the Wide Receivers were running wrong routes, dropping easy passes etc. In fact, in one of the very respected game reviews, it was pointed out that on three of Jason Campbell's six interceptions (league-low?), it was directly the fault of the receiver that the interception occurred. Furthermore, the complete non-emergence of either Devin Thomas OR Malcolm Kelly in the passing game is annoying, frustrating, and extremely disappointing. Between them Thomas led the way in catches with 15!!!.

In my view this is completely unacceptable and I think a change at that staff position would not be completely unwarranted. However, I understand that this is the first year in the West Coast Offense and more time is necessary, I just feel as though that is a major area of improvement for 2009.
