Another Brandon Lloyd Thread

Brandon will leave in the offseason, but I don't think the Redskins should be closed-minded about him. He has certain athletic qualities that make him unique and he may be of some usefullness at some point this year. Also, if injuries persist, they may not have a choice. I think that's what happened Sunday. I don't think he was going to play until Randle-El was hurt. He then had to go in on certain pakages because he's the only one left.

I don't often see a quote and then a reaction to that quote both so wrong. Lloyd made a nifty initial move to get free of the first tackler and then picked up the maximum likely yards after that in a strong attempt to get a first down. He was no more trying to avoid contact on that play than he was dogging the effort to make the catch on that infamous interception.

He says he dogged it after the interception. Politics. My video says he had no real chance of making the tackle after the intercept and chased the play anyway.
