Are We Being Too Hard on Brandon Lloyd?

[70Chip]

We have to keep him this year for money reasons. He needs to take that opportunity to make himself indispensable or he'll be gone next year. The reason they brought him on was to make catches like the one that was intercepted Sunday. He has the ability to go up and get that ball. He needs to start making plays with the limited opportunities that he is now likely to get as the 4th or 5th receiver.

A couple of guys I know that were at the game said that one of Campbell's interceptions was B. Lloyds fault. He never went up for the ball or something. I'm not saying it was, just what heard.

OK 12th it sounds like you want to start a thread to bash Lloyd. You started the thread hinting at what he has done wrong then you have the 2nd post throwing it out that he may have caused the 2nd interception of JC.

Not really trying to bash Lloyd. I did point out how he came into camp in good condition with a good attitude. And how JC is still learning the system too.

I'd like to see the cat succeed and stick around as a Redskin. I'm just wondering if this is all about him and not the team. On the int., I'm simply repeating what I heard from two different people who attended the game.

When I say are "we" being hard on B. Lloyd?, I'm definitely including myself in that crowd.

I watched it over on TIVO. He barely made an effort to tackle the DB on the return. I think it was Davis for the Phins started sprinting up the field and Lloyd starting jogging. On the INT itself Campbell threw up a 50/50 ball and the DB had position on Lloyd. I'm sure Campbell thought Lloyd could have at least gotten a hand on it to break it up. I think if it was ARE he would have gotten a hand on it.

I want Lloyd to do well for the Skins, but when I'm exerting more energy cheering for the Skins then he is on the field then it's not good.

I won't say he didn't jump, but there is no way he was the more aggressive one to catch the ball. What incensed me was his reaction after the int. He slowed up in his pursuit of the CB. Reminded me of Randy Moss when things don't go his way.
