Last week we put out #Redskins tried to claim AA but JAX got him. They would have released Dez.. AA has been waived by jax, hits waivers

CHAMPIONSHIP!!!...lol

I wouldn't mind that because of his speed and he can stretch the field...especially with PG's condition. He's never really had big numbers or been much of a difference maker though from what I remember. Than again he's never had Griffin throwing to him in the regular season either. Could be interesting. Worth a shot at this point.

So Merriweather is practicing?
Will he play on Sunday?

He told reporters they'll find out about 12:55 Sunday. Said he felt 100% at practice.

You guys think Garcon needs more time to get in football shape, or he's been working out enough?

I was speaking of Meriweather. Hard to say about Garcon. If he's been wearing an orthepedic device...which I think I heard...and resting his foot it's hard to see him in game shape other than a decoy maybe.

Monkeydad · 11-13-2012, 11:16 AM

Meriweather is expected to make his debut, as long as there are no more pre-game accidents.

Is it sick that I thought this thread titled "great injury news" was going to be about Michael Vick?

REDSKINS4ever · 11-13-2012, 11:53 AM

It's still too early to call Garcon a bust. Some injuries never fully heal. Just because he has to play with the pain for the remainder of his career doesn't mean he still can't produce. It simply means that he'll be playing with pain until he's done playing.

CRedskinsRule · 11-13-2012, 11:56 AM

PG, if he busts, is not the typical FA bust of years past. AH, Jason Taylor, McNabb, etc big names that had no intention of making the Skins a better team. Nothing I have seen from PG sends the message he wasn't hoping to come in, and go full speed from day one. Does it add to the snakebit feeling yes, but I just don't put him in the Redskins bust mode of FA's yet, or probably ever.

Way to early to call him a bust or even not a good signing. I agree he in no way fits in with the other guys you mentioned. But it does bring back that we can't win for losing feeling. Hate to see this happen to such a young guy with a promising career with a great QB ahead of him. Like Joe said...he will probably play with some pain until the end of his career. He certainly won't be the first. Just hope it at least becomes tolerable enough to still play at a high level.

I won't call JT a bust he had that stupid injury that followed him all year. Also his age was a real big factor

Jason Taylor

Weight: 250 lbs.

Born: 1900 in Pittsburgh

Garcon was never a great player like those guys though. It was all about potential with him, and that seems to be waning.

Meks · 11-13-2012, 01:04 PM

can he pass the fitness test?

SFREDSKIN · 11-13-2012, 01:58 PM

Garcon should go to Europe for the stem cell treatment Manning others have gone through.

At least AA caught the ball most of the time..... Tired of seeing the drops!
