Re: Better days ahead. (Off season part 1 thread)
Strengths:
Ideal build and size Quickness to the hole Vision Tough, physical runner Runs behind pads Proper pad level Has good straight-line speed Can break off long runs Shiftiness Capable of handling a large amount of touches Excellent hands Phenomenal receiving ability Willing blocker in blitz pickup; has potential to be very good Didn't take a massive pounding in college Hard-nosed runner between the tackles Improved study habits as a junior Looks durable; backup for two seasons before becoming a starter Weaknesses: Will need to continue to improve blitz pickup Intelligence? That is Trent Richardson and he turned out so awesome.

In all fairness - intelligence under weaknesses should be at least a minor red flag.... Ezekiel will not be another Trent Richardson. |

I don't have any numbers, but from memory, he wasn't active for a lot of games. From the outside looking in, I don't think we can say he is or isn't going to be good. Only folks inside the organization would know how he is adapting to the pro game at this stage. Case in point, Morgan Moses. Tom Compton played in front of him last year and this year Moses came in and played extremely well.

McC loves him because of his nasty style of play, I bet you he wins the job.

Re: Better days ahead. (Off season part 1 thread)
If we let garçon go which I hope we don't but if we did, would anyone like Jermaine Kearse? Word is he won't be back in Seattle.

Re: Better days ahead. (Off season part 1 thread)
Kiper gave us a good grade right after the draft, and he improved the grade after seeing our rookies play this year.
Redskins 2015 rookie class receives high mark from Mel Kiper - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN The best part about this, is I remember McCloughan standing at the podium reviewing the draft after the 3-day event concluded. He was asked how he thought he did, and went through espousing the positive traits of each guy, then took a sip of water he cracked a half-smile and said "it's a good group, you'll see." He knew it all along. He knew going into that draft who was good, who wasn't. And he came away with plenty of his guys. I just love his level of mastery over the whole thing. You come away KNOWING it's a good group of players, not wondering whether everything will pan out.

I don't think Garcon is anything special and he doesn't play to dollar imo. Garcon is great after the catch, works hard/blocks...appears like a team guy, locker room guy. But...Garcon isn't a deep threat, doesn't high point the ball well, doesn't gain great separation, doesn't easily/consistently beat press man without scheme help. I don't think Kearse is an upgrade. Chop-chop has inconsistent hands and has some of the same issues as Garcon. But Kearse is a deep threat, can high point the ball and should cost much, much less. |

Keep Garcon. Sign our own. Pay our own. Win through the draft and by keeping the team together.

Re: Better days ahead. (Off season part 1 thread)
I'm thinking about dumping my wife. She's a good wife but she doesn't high point the ball well anymore. I'm looking for a new wife who's about the same as my current wife but can highpoint the ball. I hope my new wife will be able to get along with the kids.

Re: Better days ahead. (Off season part 1 thread)
I've read through a bit of this thread.
Needs on offense: C WR TE RB I dont look at LG as a need. If you remember early in the year in the two games vs the Rams and Dolphins. We had Lauvo as our LG. He was really showing well this season before he was injured. With all the guys we lost he was one of the biggest. It did allow for Long to get acclimated to laying but Shaun was looking to really have a great year next to Trent. I want to see him back in the mix and with Lebrius and Long now both having a season of work there I see them as a great 1-2 G/C backuo combo. C is a must though. Both Kory and Josh arent terrible but should not be used as the main starter. WR- Very interested to see what we do with Garcon and Jackson to see how big the immediate need is. If we can keep both with a restructure or extension then great. I would like to keep both. So drafting a big #1 that can be developed is a good idea. TE- again here we should be getting reinforcements from IR but we still need a guy here RB- Jones and Thompson will be back. Young should be back. I would like to see Thomas (brought back) and a young guy brought back in. other than those areas we are good on offense. DEFENSE DL- LB- CB- S- All are needs on defense.
