Re: None Of Our WR's have Caught A TD

I think the problem is that Campbell doesn't put air under the long ball. I remember an announcer last year saying that Moss was the best at adjusting to the ball. That's what happened in the famous Dallas game. Campbell's long passes are too flat, and the receivers don't have time to adjust. If you pass it long enough and the receiver has position then they catch the ball (if it has air under it), even if they have to slow down to make the catch. The other option is that the DB climbs up the receiver's back, and that's pass interference. He has to allow the receivers to make the play.

Re: None Of Our WR's have Caught A TD

fair assessment mike340. Cambell does lack trajectory on his throws. It also could be that his balls are being thrown too hard. If you look at his short 4-6 yard passes, he's zipping that thing so fast a lot of times it's bouncing off the players.

Because they are too little. Sorry, I say stupid things when I'm mad. And this team has me so pissed-off with all of it's babified excuses. I am so tired of this team underacheiving, and these high-priced players making excuses.

Healthy + Moss = Moss Touchdown
Not Healthy + Moss = Lloyd Touchdown

Re: None Of Our WR's have Caught A TD

Lloyd will grab a 40 plus yard TD! Everyone will be praising Lloyd. No reason to worry about Moss. Reality is we have to get more WRs involved so Moss isn't on the hot seat every down! You'll see Reche Caldwell, Lloyd, McCardell and Thrash alot more in coming weeks. Don't worry about Moss. Look for the Redskins to test aggresive offense against a struggling Arizona team.

I think Moss will have a major rebound game. Do you guys realize we don't have a TD over 20 yards?

Re: None Of Our WR's have Caught A TD

We haven't hit on any deep passed from thirty yds. and beyond which is the major contributin factor. Once deep in the red zone, WR's have limited space with which to work, and JC has been looking for bigger targets like Sellers and Cooley once inside the fifteen yd. line. When Campbell has the opportunity to hit a WR from the 25-30 yd. line in stride, I think we may see our first, not withstanding the catch and run possibility.

I'll say Moss catches his first TD tomorrow. No drops.....I dare say no one on the team felt worse than he did after last weeks game, he'll make every effort to make up for it.

But somehow we keep winning.

Football Gods have been giving us a lot of undeserved luck lately, but damnit, I'll take it.

Re: None Of Our WR's have Caught A TD

You goofs, the WR's sucked, but alas I have the advantage of knowing what happened against the Cards. MY bet is either one of our new acquisitions will be the first WR to get a TD for us. Either McCardell or Caldewell will pull in the first TD. I agree though with Chief X, our guys are shorter and are not physical enough to get some of these balls thrown to them against taller cb's. I mean come on, our guys are top calibre WR's and they are getting shut down all the time?

Re: None Of Our WR's have Caught A TD

They have come really close though and then someone punches it in or we pass it to Cooley who my as well be a WR, I mean its not like we are not throwing touchdowns its more like we are not hitting the long ball yet, and we have had our chances they will come.

Realistically though, you have to admit that isn't going to last. So far the D has been carrying us, and we know how that song and dance usually ends.

And I don't know with all these injuries that football gods have blessed us with "luck". But it was high time for our Skins to win one that they probably didn't deserve. This game was it, my friend.

Tell that to the 2000 Baltimore Ravens.

That's bunk as ARE has at least two catches that were stopped on the 1. Let's call a bust a bust and hang this where it belongs: on Brandon Lloyd. At least ARE and Santana have legit injury problems. The only injuries Lloyd has sustained are a sprained labia and a chronic lack of heart.
