Re: Moss WANTS to be a Redskin
Darth Hoody can actually work with character players and gets production out of them. And if they don't work out, then he just gets rid of them.

Our best offensive unit was our passing game. Moss was the focal point of a passing attack that only had 1 other viable WR threat yet was still able to produce like a top WR. If you take Moss out of the equation you're asking an unproven group of WRs to become the focal point of the best unit (arguably the only good unit) on this team. And even if Moss is re-signed all those wasted targets that went to Joey Galloway and Roydel Williams would be enough to for at least 1 other WR threat to emerge. And 1 other target would help an already good passing attack be even better. |

But at the very least, in the absolute worst case scenario, Hankerson would get the opportunities to produce as a no. 1 type as a rookie, and he can't do that if Moss is here. I would prefer to just do what Tampa Bay did, and not extend Antonio Bryant into his mid thirties, but rather take the steal of the draft at the receiver position, put him on the field, and end up with a "Top 100" player four months later.

Re: Moss WANTS to be a Redskin
Ugh, I hate the term number one receiver sometimes...
A lot of what you're saying is, essentially, that it'd be worth it to have guys struggle if the young guys get time on the field. But having a super young receiving core and an inexperienced/less-than-ideal quarterback doesn't always work the way it did for Josh Freeman. I mean, if Moss wants to be here, and he's willing to sign a fair deal to stay here and retire as a Redskin, I don't see the harm. You can still position Leonard Hankerson as the number one receiver of the future (if he develops into that), but you don't put the pressure on him to bear the brunt of the offensive load on day one. And who knows when the lockout really ends. He might have the playbook but Hank still doesn't have the coaching and hasn't seen live action. What if Hank gets hurt in training camp? I think in a situation like the Redskins are in, even in rebuild mode, they need to have a veteran guy who can be counted on every game at most positions, so the rookies don't feel as though the world is always on their shoulders. If he comes cheap and wants to be here I don't see the problem. |

Re: Moss WANTS to be a Redskin
i want him back no question. he had a solid year last year and we need a vet at WR, someone to mentor all the young guys. he's still a threat and with the lockout looming it's safer to have sure things like Santana.

Re: Moss WANTS to be a Redskin
Portis is one of those "soft" drama-causers that unleashes that side of him when there isn't anyone in the family punishing him harshly enough or threatening such punishment clearly enough. He shut up under Shanahan, but he was given "star" favoritism under Gibbs. That's the difference.

And I understand your point about the young receivers needing playing time i.e targets. But with Moss as the focal point of the passing game, where Kyle moves him around a lot: flanker, slot and some split end it creates a good environment for a WR to break in. Moss is still a respected player that draws attention from opposing defenses. And there are still available targets (Joey's and Roydell's) that would give the young receivers a chance to get on the field in favorable situations where they have a better opportunity for success because Moss is on the field. It may only be a limited role (at first) but their production, however limited, would be a boon to the passing game that could develop into a bigger part if they're up to the task. Damn,we need a QB. |

Re: Moss WANTS to be a Redskin
Not sure if you read him correctly. He said "post 33 years of age". He's currently 32, so I'm assuming he's saying he's got one more year of productivity until he's pretty much done. His belief isn't that idiotic.

Re: Moss WANTS to be a Redskin
Perhaps I was premature.
BTW, the "idiotic" thing was from another thread. I was just trying it out to see if I liked it but I thank you for your input!
