Welcome to the team - Mike Washington Jr

[Desert Rat]

Any RB in on 3rd down hell yes I want him blocking.

Kid doesn't shy away from contact, and some games were much better than others. Coach him up.

Jalen Richard was a plus pass blocker. If he could do it, the 6'2" 225 pound guy can.

I don't remember Richard ever pass blocking.

 

[DonkeyKilla]

I don't remember Richard ever pass blocking.

He had to have, he was the 3rd down back. I think he was decent at it.

 

[Chris_77]

I don't remember Richard ever pass blocking.

It was his claim to fame. He was the Lee Smith of 3rd down RBs.

 

[Desert Rat]

I never seen that mf'er pass block a single down.

I do remember the time he turned a check down into a first down.

Two hundred checkdowns (including on Hail Marry's) and he converted one.

 

[Desert Rat]

He had to have, he was the 3rd down back. I think he was decent at it.

He gave up zero sacks....

 

[Birdwell]

I don't remember Richard ever pass blocking.

Nothing specific for me.

It's something I pay attention to if the back is in: does he see a free rusher, and does he act as a yield sign or a road block?

Never worried about Jalen Richard. He would be in the pattern more often than not, and the time was different -- the Raiders had a good O-line and there were far fewer exotic blitzes.

 

[Desert Rat]

Pleasantly surprised by having more wiggle than what I seen on his college tape (coaching?).
I don't know if he can pass protect but he is willing from what I have seen on his college film that is half the battle.
He can catch the ball.

Geez… folks need to pump the brakes little. I like Washington but he’s never taken a snap in a real NFL game.

Perspective!

Too late. OROY on his way to pick up his gold jacket.

We’ve been through this for decades. None of these players have played a down in an NFL regular season game.
We’ll find out if they’re NFL worthy soon.

Looks like they all bought their hats at the same store.

Where is the smelly gorilla?

Where is the smelly gorilla?

Right under his number 30 and above his thigh pads.
