Daisy days Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) Sean McDermott was just on NFL live on espn and was asked about the new wr corps and he called them the smurfs..... great new nickname in my opinion it was just on and I can’t find video of it..... but those were his words, seemed like he was making a joke about it.

BringBackFergy Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Pretty sure they called the 1980-90’s Redskins WR’s the Smurfs. Might be mistaken. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Well, if you have a 5'8 WR creating 2-3 yards of separation you don't need to be 6'5. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo716 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Our wideouts really aren’t all smurfs Zay has good size for a WR Foster has good size Duke Williams great size beasley and McKenzie are pretty small but I wouldn’t say our Corp is all smurfs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if, in the interview, McDermott was talking about OTAs, then those are the 4 guys currently starting, since Zay and Beasley and Brown are either not there or not on the field. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSHMEAB Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I'm fine with the nickname as long as he doesn't try to get cute and refer to the ever reliable Cole Beasley as "Handy" Smurf. That would be taking it too far. I do kinda respect the fact that McD wouldn't even recognize the double entendre. No time for shenanigans. The oldest guy is Brown, but I'm not seeing "Papa Smurf" in his future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 This is a big so what. Nothing against the OP, just McD was I guess trying to be funny, and working on getting closer with his WR Corp. the posts were funny and I could care less about the 80’s Redskins. Lots of teams reinvent nicknames over the years. Anyway, OP, thanks for sharing as you were trying to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
