In case any 49ers fan still misses the playmaking abilities and hot
rapping of Brandon Lloyd, consider his role in the Washington Redskins'
undoing.

In a three-part Washington Post series on what ails the franchise, one
prominent section bears the headline ``The Troubles With Lloyd.''

A high-ranking member of the organization told the Post, ``From the
equipment people on up, he has alienated everyone in this building. He
needs help at a level that goes beyond what a teammate or a coach can
give him.''

(Hey, he did train at T.O.'s feet for a year.)

The most telling anecdote:

The go route -- in which a wide receiver makes a quick move at the snap
of the ball and sprints straight down the sideline -- was Lloyd's
specialty. In the first half, Lloyd beat his man down the sideline and
seemed to be wide open for a touchdown pass from Jason Campbell. But he
could not locate the ball and it dropped to the turf.
