The 4th receiver-- Patten or Thrash or who?

Post by crazyhorse1 »

Patten looked pretty bad last night., as usual. When is the real Patten going to show up. Somebody assure me.

If I were Saunders, I'd be looking to our roster to come up with a new fourth guy. Our ballyhooed depth at receiver is good, but not as good as it's press.
On the other hand, we seem to be deeper at TE than I thought.

Thrash is a definite. Patten will be here also. Its Espy who needs to prove something.

I will tell you, for two years straight Jimmy Ferris has always been able to put something together. But, Thrash is the complete player. I wonder why Patten didn't go after that ball. Maybe its b/c he didn't want to risk injury. I'm not sure but I need to see more from him.

He looked good the 1st game. I've heard he looked bad last night, it's hard to tell listening. According to numerous reports, he has looked good in camp. I expect to see a lot of him next week. This will be the llast chance for these kids to make an impression before we cut our roster to 65 (from 88).

Thrash is good as a WR but is excellent on special teams. His place is secure on this team.

Moss
Lloyd
Patten
Thrash
Randle El, when needed

Not a bad bunch of guys.

Yeah I'm deeply concerned about our wide receivers. After Moss, Lloyd, A.R.E, Patten and Thrash... we get a little thin. :roll:

... and Jimmy Farris ALWAYS makes it impossible to want to cut the guy.

Mike Espy had an amazing camp and will be lucky if it lands him on the practice squad.

But hey... once we get through those first seven... things start to look a little bleak.

Most to all NFL teams would love to have our receiver 'depth issues'.

Pure hog wash.
Sean Taylor was one of a kind, may he rest in peace.

If everyone isn't 100% for the start of the season, we might carry a 6th WR for a while.

patten somehow looked far, far worse than he did during his limited showing in the '05 regular season, which was already pretty abysmal. i know he's an established veteran but he really needs to show that he can actually play football for the washington redskins.

Well, at least this post is in the correct forum, then. :lol:

If you're referring to the play where Campbell underthrew Patten, I don't see what Patten could have done to get to that ball. It seemed to me that he was running to fast along the sideline to change his direction. I even replayed it a few times to see if he pulled a Terry Glenn, and it didn't look to me as if he even flinched at the safety. Therefore, I conclude that David Patten does indeed still have his cahones.

Patten dropped 3 easy passes and made Campbell stats look bad when they were right on the money. I like either Thrash or Farris who doesnt really drop any balls.

Farris seems to be the type who does well in the preseason, but not when it counts.

I think he is more worried about how not to cut some of the guys on the roster than slotting a guy in the 4th spot

Actually it's better than the press, the press always precludes most comments about the Skins receivers with undersizes or overpaid and then fail to mention all the speed and depth.

This the press did miss, one free agent pick up and a rookie added to what was already here, combined with less use of a H-back makes it seem like the spot was over-hauled. I didn't see that coming either.
