The Washington Redskins will be counting on some WRs to step up in 2010

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,General Redskins Talk,Positional Previews by admin on Thursday 29 July 2010 at 9:05 am

31-year old Santana Moss is the only WR still on top of his game in the Redskins’ WRing corps.  He played in 16 games (all starts) for the Redskins last season and he caught 70 passes for 902 yards (12.9 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  He has also carried the ball 2 times for 8 yards (4.0 ypc) last year.  Moss has now played in 127 games (103 starts) in his 9 years in the NFL and he has caught 500 passes for 7,443 yards (14.9 avg) with 46 TD grabs.  Moss has also carried the ball 40 times for 254 yards (6.4 ypc) so far in his career.  Moss has made it to 1 Pro Bowl in his career and he will be trying to make it 2 times this year as the Redskins have really improved at QB for 2010.

23-year old Devin Thomas would be the other starting WR for the Redskins if the season started tomorrow.  He played in 14 games (10 starts) for the Redskins last season and he caught 25 passes for 325 yards (13.0 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  Thomas has now played in 30 games (11 starts) in his two years with the Redskins and he has caught 40 passes for 445 yards (11.3 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  He has also carried the ball 6 times for 51 yards (8.5 ypc) with 1 TD carry in his career to date.  The Redskins need Thomas to step up in 2010 as he has a lot of talent.

23-year old Malcolm Kelly is a great athlete but he’s not a good WR quite yet.  Kelly played in 16 games (10 starts) for the Redskins last season and he caught 25 passes for 347 yards (13.9 avg).  He has now played in 21 games (10 starts) in his two years with the Redskins and he has caught 28 passes for 365 yards (13.0 avg).  Kelly has a nice upside but he needs to start showing more in 2010 for the Redskins.

38-year old Joey Galloway is in camp trying to win a job with the Skins.  Galloway played in 3 games (2 starts) for the Patriots last season and he caught 7  passes for 67 yards (9.6 avg).  He has now played in 188 games (171 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 689 passes for 10,777 yards (15.6 avg) with 77 TD grabs.  Galloway has also carried the ball 63 times for 496 yards (7.9 ypc) with 1 TD run.  Galloway is in the twilight of his career but he might have another year of being a solid #4 or #5 WR.

29-year old Bobby Wade will likely have a good chance of making the Redskins in 2010.  Wade played in 12 games (6 starts) for the Chiefs last season and he caught 36 passes for 367 yards (10.2 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  He has now played in 102 games (50 starts) in his 7 years in the NFL and he has caught 244 passes for 2,858 yards (11.7 avg) with 9 TD grabs.  Wade has also carried the ball 22 times for 93 yards (4.2 ypc) in his career.

33-year old WR Mike Furrey played offense, defense and special teams for the Browns last season.  For those reasons he might be a solid bet to make the Redskins in 2010.  Furrey played in 16 games (4 starts) for the Browns last season and he has caught 23 passes for 170 yards (7.4 avg).  Furrey has now played in 94 games (41 starts) as a offensive player and he has caught 221 passes for 2,298 yards (10.4 avg) with 7 TD grabs. 

7th round pick Terrence Austin out of UCLA will have a hard time making the Redskins’ roster.  He’s on the small side at 5’11″, 172 pounds and he goes into training camp #7 on the depth chart.

The Washington Redskins have a nice set of TEs for 2010

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,General Redskins Talk,Positional Previews by admin on Friday 16 July 2010 at 11:16 am

28-year old Chris Cooley should be ready to go this season after being dogged by injuries last year.  Cooley has made 2 Pro Bowls in his NFL career and he will be looking to make it three in 2010.  Cooley played in 7 games (all starts) for the Redskins last season and he caught 29 passes for 332 yards (11.4 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  He has now played in 87 games (80 starts) in his six years with the Redskins and he has caught 343 passes for 3,789 yards (11.0 avg) with 30 TD grabs.  Look for him to have another solid year for the Skins in 2010.

24-year old Fred Davis really took advantage of Chris Cooley’s injury last year.  Davis played in 16 games (10 starts) for the Redskins last year and he caught 48 passes for 509 yards (10.6 avg) with 6 TD grabs.  He has now played in 27 games (12 starts) in his two years with the Redskins and he has caught 51 passes for 536 yards (10.5 avg) with 6 TD grabs.  Look for Davis to cut into Cooley’s P.T. a tad in 2010.

The Washington Redskins lose Mike Williams for the season

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,General Redskins Talk,Injury Reports,Redskins Headlines by admin on Saturday 10 July 2010 at 11:09 am

The Redskins have lost veteran T/G Mike Williams for the 2010 season.   The Redskins signed Williams to a 2-year, $1.49 million dollar deal last March as a free agent.  He will miss the 2010 season because he has blood clots near his heart.  Thank God that they found the blood clots before Williams got onto the practice field or this could have been a tragedy.

Mike Sellers is back for another year at fullback for the Washington Redskins

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,General Redskins Talk,Positional Previews by admin on Wednesday 7 July 2010 at 9:47 am

34-year old Mike Sellers is back for another year of blocking and catching passes in 2010 for the Redskins.  Sellers is a big guy at 6’3″, 260 pounds and he used to be a TE so he’s a good blocker and receiver.  Sellers played in 15 games (7 starts) for the Skins last season and he caught 17 passes for 176 yards (10.4 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  He has now played in 145 games (55 starts) in his NFL career in which he carried the ball 46 times for 156 yards (3.4 ypc) with 3 TD carries.  Sellers has also caught 102 passes for 856 yards (8.4 avg) with 18 TD grabs in his career.  Look for Sellers to continue being an asset to the Redskins in 2010.
