Redskins OTAs

[Meks]

Far be it for me to say but once Alex Smith gets comfortable here with the sysytem and his teammates - i honestly think this team will be better off

[skinsfaninok]

Pryor could not get separation, PR won't have that issue

[MTK]

Doctson’s speed is just fine, 4.5 for a guy his size is very good

lol easy to remember the negatives

It sure is, in his case. Like the way smaller DB's easily jam his routes at the LOS. He might get better at route running and he might get physically stronger but will he ever be tough enough to become a legitimate NFL starter?

I thought he was the best WR in the draft when he came out of college. Now I think he might not not make it in this league.

Doc is soft IMO. Grant made tougher catches if you ask me.

lol yea i remember him making some good catches for sure.. And i do think he will continue to improve, he's been hampered by injuries and still learning im sure... he can get a little more physical and build up that aspect of his game, sure, but not every WR that turns out to be good to solid is a world beater the first few years. So my patience is just fine with Josh

Doctson has shown the ability for sure....its about being consistent now.

The one play that sticks out was the throw to him in the Kansas City game.....god, that catch would have been top 3 in the league last year. His athleticism to get up for it at an unbelievable catch angle.....he couldn't stick the landing.

Man I wanted to cry...game winner-almost

I can't help to think that maybe some of Kirk's game, especially last year, was all about padding the numbers, less about helping these guys get developed. When Favre was playing, the dude went after it. If it got picked, it got picked, but he wasn't afraid to break in a new receiver.

So you think Smith is going to be a gunslinger? He might be more conservative that Cousins was.

He might be a gunslinger.

A catch can still be tough whether it’s “contested” or not. Tracking a deep ball and fully laying out for it sure isn’t easy.

Not denying he made some nice catches, just saying I wouldn't grant Doctson a tough catcher WR, because IMO he hasn't proven that yet. Too many drops for too few catches.

I'm not trying to make excuses for him but those catches are harder to do when you only get 1 target a quarter.

He needs to earn a bigger role in our game plan or GTFO.
It's been long enough.

You made a good point about KC not taking shots during the week at practice, I remember that segment on C&K, and it definitely has to be a factor, especially for a "rookie"... but still, he's a pro, he should be able to make the most of his opportunities.

Again, I hope he finally does!
