Greg Lewis routes

[shorebird]

I've like him ever since I first saw him play. After seeing the recievers we've had since Reid took over, I can't help but get excited over any reciever who has game. I can't help myself.

That's the pessimism talking...

Greg Lewis is so awesome at running routes that he even scored a TD for the Steelers right off the bat last Monday!!!!

[General_Failure]

He ran the wrong route, but he ran it very well.

Team G Lew would like to express their disappointment in your statement.  We ran the right route...Donovan threw us a bad pass.

Riiiiiighht.

McNabb took the blame for that pass.  Reid, in his post game press conference, also seemed to indicate it was a bad throw by McNabb. 

In fact, I think that pass was supposed to be thrown to Westbrook.  Many think it was Lewis's fault because Joe Thiesmann said so right after the play.  Rule #1:  never listen to Joe Theismann (didn't he throw a pass just like that in a Super Bowl?)

As for Lewis's route running, I'd think he'd be more effective in the slot.  He could do more damage there going up against nickle corners.

he was in there on a few plays against the Steelers, so Reid must be thinking the same thing. 

[Zanshin]

I think it was Lewis' fault, and thought so immediately when it happened.  And, think about it, what possible good would come from McNabb and/or Reid blaming the promising, young receiver who needs confidence.  You think you can take them at their word on that?  Come on.  That had blown route written all over it.

[Larry]

I still think it was a throw to Westbrook.  In fact, a couple drives later, McNabb did the exact same thing:  on a flat pass to the right, he floated a ball over Westbrook's head.  Luckily, there was no CB near the play.

If Lewis is to be faulted for anything, he might have been responsible for blocking that corner, who was cheating, instead of running his clearout route.

It looked all along to me that it was a pass to Westbrook in the flat that sailed a bit, or Donovan just expected Westbrook to release more quickly off the line.  Either way, I think it was not Greg's fault.

Greg WILL play in the slot on 3 WR sets most of the time, because that is his starting position.  Reggie or Billy will play Pinkston's outside spot on the left side of the field in 3 WR sets.

Hey, that's why they make chocolate and vanilla.

...but you're still wrong. ;-)

I'm Good!!

Good for Greg. Now let's see how the other parts of his game stack up when the season starts.
