Welcome Nate Washington

[aluminum seats]

Man, it's hard not to want them to start playing tomorrow, huh? Get a couple RBs, draft another WR, a bit more depth and developmental talent on the O-line, and HEALTH? The only thing that will stop this offense is exhaustion from running too many plays and scoring too much.

Defense ain't bad either, although like to see another CB or 2 there. But jeez, easy to get giddy.

I like the signing and forgive my ignorance on the subject, but why is everyone clamoring for them to release Amendola? Does his cap hit justify letting him go? I feel like he can still be a valuable piece in this offense.

solid depth signing........may make the team, may not......I don't think it's a slam dunk by any means

curious to see why so many are writing off amendola, sure it took him longer to get in sync with Brady but he has since become very reliable. I'd be hesitant to get rid of the sure thing with great hands.

 

[Deus Irae]

That's one solution. Personally, I believe that there should be some kind of strategy towards keeping Lewis healthy for a full season. Perhaps, this would work? Perhaps, it would be too predictable?

Since he can play both run and pass, I don't really see it as predictable. Now, getting Blount and/or another run only early down back would make things more predictable, but it's pretty clear that, historically, the team can handle that level of predictability on early downs, as long as the OL doesn't fall apart the way it did last year.

WK 4 Can't-Miss Play: Nate Washington catches 77-yard touchdown

Lot's good about that play. He burns cro and should be gone, but adjusts well to ****ty pass anyway and is gone.

Looks like a role for him here without braking the bank.

2015: Andrews/Coleman

We could really use an UDFA gem at outside WR. Let's get lucky.

Yep, most really successful years do seem to contain a pleasant surprise or two…

Took that ref OUT too.

I expect Dobson to be gone but he flashed a lot more (two years ago) than the others you mentioned.

I expect Martin or a draftee to be the #5, if there is one.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

So is washington a legitimate number 2 receiver?

Amendola out?

@Ivan, not sure why you are disagreeing with two questions that I posed.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Love this move. a VERY durable WR who is consistent

@Ivan, not sure why you are disagreeing with two questions that I posed.

Because he's not a 2 and he doesn't replace Amendola he will battle Dobson. He's a good outside receiver with questionable hands, not an interior receiver with great hands.

Prefer Bolden or Jones.

i didn't say he was. that's why i was asking.

 

[Kontradiction]

I still expect them to draft a WR, but I like this signing. He threatens an area of the field consistently that no other WR in our offense does. Should loosen up the coverage underneath as well. If he can give them what Lafell did in 2014, it's an excellent move. Now they just need two RB's and another OT/OG and they're good to go.

Danny Boy ain't a 2 either! Washington puts up better numbers with a significantly worse QB. And, is much
cheaper. What's not to like?

 

[Deus Irae]

I still expect them to draft a WR,...

Even with this crappy WR class?

Brandon Gibson redux.

 

[ausbacker]

Feels very much like the Donte Stallworth 2007 signing. Happy to have Washington on board. He's a darn good player.
