2012 Stats: 11 Rec's, 237 Yards, 3 TD's, 1 Rush Att, 14 Yards Coming out of Southern Methodist University where he played in the spread offense, Robinson ran a 4.43 40 at the Combine and was a 6th round pick of the Redskins in 2011. He spent most of that season on the practice squad and made the team in 2012 due to a strong preseason. Thanks to Pierre Garcon's foot injury early in Week 1 against the Saints, he ended up getting extensive playing time and caught four catches for 52 yards and a TD. The next week in his first career start, he had two catches for 40 yards in a Week 2 l...

Pierre Garcon visited the NFL Network this morning and didn't drop any bomb shells from the locker room. On his injury and starting the season: "I'll be healthy enough to play. I can't say I'll be 100%, but I'll be back out there and helping the team any way possible." "It's getting better. It's a plain and play tear. It's something that's uncommon that happened from a previous injury that compensated for another. It's coming along and it's getting better." For OTAs, which start next week: I'll be rehabbing and doing whatever I'm able to do. The trainers will let me know. We won't ...

The guys at Pro Football Focus compiled a new signature statistic that shows a handful of Redskins near the top of the ranks for the 2012 season. It's called "First Downs and Touchdowns per Route Run," which means exactly what you think it means. It's a nice way to sift out how many "quality" catches are logged by a specific player by lumping catches for converted first downs and touchdowns over the number of routes he runs. It's not an all-encompassing stat by any means (what is?), but like all statistics, it gives us a piece of the puzzle. Among wide receivers, Pierre Garcon had the ...

Last year I think many Redskins fans were a bit surprised with how little the team threw the ball despite the additions of Robert Griffin III and receivers Pierre Garcon and Josh Morgan. After the first two seasons of Mike Shanahan in Washington, where we saw quarterbacks Donovan McNabb, Rex Grossman, and John Beck attempt 1,196 passes, Griffin and fellow rookie Kirk Cousins combined for just 442 attempts. Instead last season the Redskins were a run first team, that ran for over 50% of the time. Now many may point to the read-option as why this occurred, but the reality is Skins fans s...

No surgery planned for Pierre Garcon | WashingtonExaminer.comRedskins receiver Pierre Garcon won’t need surgery to repair a plantar plate in his right foot, barring a setback, according to a league source. Garcon did not know after the season whether or not he’d need surgery, but the second toe on his right foot is healing and more rest is the prescription, the source said. Spreading the Wealth – The Case Against Adding More Wide Receivers this Off-SeasonOne of the only complaints that I’ve read or heard about the 2012 team’s offense is that it didn’t get enough productivity from i...

A league source told John Keim of the Washington Examiner that Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon will not require surgery on his foot, and that Garcon should be "100 percent" by next season. Garcon, who was diagnosed with a plantar plate tear in his right foot, dealt with significant pain throughout the season, and did not have extended time to heal. Because Garcon now has that time and has not been running, it has gotten to a point where his foot is healing properly, and can do so without surgery. Though playing the 2012 season with the injury did not pose a threat for additional d...
