Re: Redskins OTAs

I just don't see Doc being a true WR1, he's a solid WR2 IMO

What makes Doctson a "solid" WR2? He hasn't done Jack Schnitt in the NFL. We homer fans have him w-a-a-a-y overrated.

His ability to make tough catches like he has done, but his knock is can he stay healthy

i think he needs to improve his routes, improve on getting separation better, which he isnt the fastest guy -- his "spectacular catch" rating would be high in madden 12 ......

I don't remember any real tough contested catch from Doctson last season... I remember 2 dropped TDs though.

The seattle game winner? The jump ball in the EZ against Dallas?

I'm sorry but these are pretty catches, not tough contested catches.
The one against Seattle is a nice diving catch, the one against the Boys is a nice jump ball, but in both cases he's untouched.

So yeah, I know he can make good catches, but I can't remember a true wowing tough contested catch...

The one against KC would've been amazing... I just re-watched one late in the 2nd against the Broncos he absolutely should've caught in the endzone, perfect throw in a tight window by Cousins, untouched, drops it...

I'm not saying he doesn't have the potential, I just haven't seen much of it so far.

EDIT: watched some random 2017 Doctson highlights , a part from a nice one against the Saints, and another one against the Raiders that I had forgotten, I don't think he has proved yet that he can make crazy catches at the NFL level. Hope he does this year.

Doctson's production has been disappointing but Jay and Kirk have to share the blame for his lack of production.
Since Garcon left, we haven't thrown quick slants to WR's.
Cooley has said on the radio that KC does not throw Doctson jumpballs in practice, he runs the offense exactly like game day. Doctson needs to work on these things to execute them in the game.

For whatever reason, KC did not throw Slants, Fades or back shoulder balls.
These are all critical throws and keeps drives alive but it wasn't a part of our system.

I'm hopeful the addition of AS is going to give Doctson a big boost.

BTW, F...Kirk Cousins!
