No, BB, no.

You must have absolute faith in McCl. We have no deficiencies. It's in your head. All has been addressed. An underweight 5th round rookie will fix our run defense.

And, remember...if the team doesn't improve this year, there's always next year...and, the possibility of a new coach. And, he may have to bring in his guys...and, that could take a few years, you know.

Patience.

There's genius at work.

When #Redskins go to 3 WR's, If Doctson is on field with Jackson, Garcon & TE Reed. They will have best 4 receiver combo in NFL @nflnetwork

@CharleyCasserly
 
I think the comment about us having the best WRs in the league is probably true. I suppose Jacksonville would be a close second.

The real question is if a team can win a SB with the best receivers in the league. The last time I can recall that happening may have been the greatest show on turf.
 
The receiving corps has the potential to be scary good ... but only up the point we have a QB who can make the right reads and get the ball out quick ... an OL that can hold up on 3rd and long in clutch late-game situations ... and a running game that at least keeps defenses honest. Down the stretch last year we saw two out of those three elements working. If we can get the third up to speed---doesn't have to be great, but does have to at least provide a threat---the 2016 offense will be fun to watch.

Well we know 3 things:

1. The WR group is awesome.

2. We have a great pass-blocking O-line. We gave up the 6th fewest sacks last year, even injured.

3. The QB gets the ball out quickly.

So I don't think there's any question about those points.

The running game would be a help.....but it likely comes down to improvement in the defense. Hello Junior, Norman and Cravens. And hopeful improvement from Kerrigan and Smith.

There is (obviously) still time to sign a veteran RB to the roster. Perhaps post-June 1.

Available:
Pierre Thomas (who I prefer given his experience last year)
Arian Foster
Ahmad Bradshaw
Others?

Man, I'd say over half of those old hits would be illegal now.

One thing I've noticed is that back in the day, while you'd see these vicious (by today's standards), head-hunting kinds of hits from time to time, overall, down in and down out, the game was played at a considerably less physical level than today's game. You didn't see full-speed collisions all over the field on practically every play like you do today.

The reasons are common knowledge, of course. Bigger, faster athletes ... so much more at stake financially (leading to bigger, faster athletes) ... today's equipment being so much more advanced (read: safer) it allows bigger, faster players to throw themselves into contact with ever greater abandon ... etc.

Just something I've noticed watching old games over the past few years. Seemed a logical time and place to bring it up.

Not to mention there was less emphasis on the passing game in general back in the day. When you don't have multiple guys running around, untouched, in the flat, there less need to try and dislodge the ball from the player after the pass is made.

Running to set up the long pass just doesn't set the WRs up to get crunched over the middle multiple times per game.

But, you know, that's boring and doesn't put as many points on the board. And we can't have that.

Sorry, starting to rant. I'll shut up now. :)

Little blurb about Preston Smith. Seems the kid was a little hardheaded last season.

Last year I remember hearing similar rumblings on various radio bits that Preston needed a little prodding to get going.

Pretty sure it was Doc Walker who specifically mentioned 'a little lazy' and needed to put in the work but figured the 'young pup' would be ok once he figured it out.
 
I like it... we're gonna need leadership with the loss of Hatch / Knighton along the defensive unit.
