PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Helpless on the Washington sideline, Terrelle Pryor was diminished to an exceptionally costly sponsor.
Pryor was marked to end up plainly the Redskins' No. 1 beneficiary.
The free-specialist beneficiary so far has just been a $8 million bust in burgundy.
"I was on the sideline truly simply rooting for my partners," Pryor said. "Simply attempting to be the best colleague I could be on the sideline and get folks pumped up. Whatever I could do on the sideline."
Whatever he did, it was more profitable than anything he did on the field.
Pryor was sidelined to begin the diversion and got only two goes in an appalling 34-24 misfortune to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night.
Pryor, the free specialist collector from Cleveland who appeared like a beneficiary on the ascent when he marked with the Redskins, saw a season wavering on disillusionment slide into an all out debacle.
Just on the off chance that Pryor didn't get the message when he was sidelined for Josh Doctson, mentor Jay Gruden gave a reasonable flag who Kirk Cousins' best target is this season:
"We drafted Josh to be the No. 1 fellow," Gruden said.
Doctson, Washington's first-round pick in the 2016 draft, had just three gets for 39 yards. Without a doubt, the Redskins didn't make him a first-round pick so he could sit on the seat. In any case, if there's some approach to play Doctson and Pryor in a similar arrangement and watch them pursue 1,000 yards accepting, Gruden hasn't drawn up the recipe.
Or, on the other hand perhaps not.
Maybe most telling that Pryor is basically an idea in retrospect in the offense came when Cousins was pushed on the general inadequate creation from the getting corps.
Cousins said the every one of the recipients were skilled, and reeled off Jamison Crowder, Doctson and Ryan Grant.
"We do accept there are folks who can play," Cousins said.
He wasn't done.
He specified Vernon Davis, Jordan Reed and Chris Thompson.
With his mouth or his arm, Cousins declined to make Pryor an objective.
"For whatever length of time that we're moving the football, I couldn't care less who's doing it," Cousins said.
Without Pryor's normal generation, the Redskins still can't seem to have a collector achieve 100 yards getting this season. Thompson, a running back, had been their driving beneficiary and he had five more gets for 26 yards and a touchdown. Reed ran 8-for-64 with two scores.
Pryor's 1,007 getting yards with Cleveland positioned 22nd in the NFL last season, and his 77 gets were 27th, details collected in spite of playing with five quarterbacks on a group that went 1-15.
He should help supplant DeSean Jackson (Tampa Bay) and Pierre Garcon (San Francisco), 1,000 yard beneficiaries the Redskins let stroll as free specialists. At this pace, they'll be in no race to bring back Pryor for a moment season.
"We put stock in Coach," Pryor said. "You're not going to see me furious."
The 28-year-old Pryor declined to tear Gruden and said of Doctson, "Josh is my person."
Perhaps.
The Redskins could utilize a couple of more folks willing to end up plainly The Man in the offense.
They additionally require a couple of more sound bodies: handle Trent Williams (knee), corner Fabian Moreau (hamstring), monitor Brandon Scherff (knee) and linebacker Preston Smith (crotch) were harmed.
The Redskins are set to enter the rough piece of their timetable, facilitating the safeguarding NFC East champion Cowboys (3-3) one weekend from now, before playing three sequential groups who have winning records (at Seattle, Minnesota, at New Orleans).
Pushed on his association with Pryor, Cousins said the best could yet be ahead.
"I believe it's a work in advance," Cousins said. "I would prefer not to compose a story until the point when we have a full example size of the season. There's no motivation behind why he can't have an extremely solid 10 amusements here and truly make a decisive final push this season."
