i really honestly dont think we needed both of them, i think moss, lloyd, patten thrash, and jacobs would have been fine or moss, randle el, patten.... i really didnt think we were gnna bring in two high profile receivers. i mean one used to be the #1 guy so is gnna expect to get #1 looks frm the quarterback even if he knows hes #2 or 3. then we have randle el who tried at #2 but didnt do so hott. we shouldnt have signed both. we had a more than capable receiver with patten. but now that we have them im happy i jst wih they were SO high profile. but portis o ya this is gnna be the season where he REALLY proves with his YPC that the champ portis trade was in favor to washington. hell prove em wrong jst think of the big run he made his first carry as a skin, but every sunday!

It looks like we could be running alot of 3 WR sets with Saunders, so having good WR depth is pretty important.

Look at what happened last year, Patten went down and we were screwed at the #2 WR spot, and forget about the #3 WR that was just non-existent.

After last year I'm happy we went out and got 2 quality WRs rather than just putting all our eggs in one basket by picking up just one guy.

right and we'll have at LEAST patten and hopefully thrash as depth in case someone goes down. people who ARENT just placeholdres like jacobs and farris.

This would be the F***ING GREATES THING EVER!!!! I have him on my fantasy keeper league. Last two years havent always been so pretty. But last year he was a lot more consistant. I can't wait. I'm also thinking about drafting Jason Campbell with my last pick in the draft.

But I would rather lose every fantasy game if it meant the Skins win every Sunday, and ESPECIALLY on THANKSGIVING.

i think moss is and definately coles are better blockers than El.

El is very willing to block, I don't know if lloyd is.

Portis can defintely reach that mark. It is completely realistic, even if you didn't have the new additions to this offense, you could make that argument. Portis ran for over 1,500 yards last season, and most of the plays that called for him last year did not include going out in the flat, he did on occasion, but if they had called it more early on in the year, good lord, who knows what his numbers would have been like. Being that it took the team about three or four weeks to finally get the offense clicking, just imagine what they would have done if they started the season with a bang.

People can go ahead an say all they want negatively about Randle El, but it doesn't matter, what the skins did with throwing Moss in the slot on more than one occasion last year, Randle El and Moss will be flip flopping that spot alot now, and that combo alone will be deadly. And if Lloyd can get into a rythm, add Cooley to the mix...oooo i get tingly thinking about it. If Mark is the starter, I expect him to improve his numbers from last season, which was one of his best seasons.

We do need to fix one problem, which I hope Al Saunders will address...running a three-wide shot gun on every third down. We did this ALOT on every third down play toward the end of the season, and eventually it caught up to us in the playoffs.
