The Washington Redskins changed one of their starting receivers. That did not change the production at that position, however.

Terrelle Pryor played one snap in the first half of Monday’s loss to Philadelphia, before playing 29 in the second half and catching two passes for 14 yards. His replacement, Josh Doctson, finished with three catches for 39 yards.

It’s likely that they’ll continue with Doctson starting at the X receiver spot ahead of Pryor. For a long time the Redskins have believed Doctson offered the most talent at receiver, thanks in part to his size (6-foot-2) and athleticism. Pryor is bigger (nearly 6-foot-5) and can run, but is not as natural running routes as Doctson. However, Doctson needs more game experience.

“We’ll see how it goes moving forward,” Redskins coach Jay Gruden said. “Right now we wanted to get Josh in there a little bit more and see how he did. Josh did some good things, some things we need to clean up, same with Terrelle every week. Just going to continue to coach those guys up, try to play the hot hand, play the guys who are fresh and go from there.”

Gruden said it’s difficult to get both receivers on the field at the same time because both primarily play the X. They start Jamison Crowder at the Z receiver position and, though he hasn’t been as productive as his first two seasons, he’s still favored by the coaches. When Ryan Grant enters as a third receiver, he plays the Z and Crowder goes inside.

But because Pryor has played one full season of receiver in his football career and because Doctson missed all but a couple weeks last season (from May through the end of the season), they don’t want them shifting around.

“Maybe in the future, maybe we can move Josh over to Z and I’m sure Josh could play some Z if need be,” Gruden said, “but we like Crowder out there, we like Grant out there and we like where we’re at there.”

Regardless of who’s out there, the Redskins need more production from the wideouts. None of them is on pace to finish with more than 600 yards. And none of their six receivers has surpassed 70 yards in a game.

Pryor has three catches on third down (all for first downs); Doctson doesn’t have any, though he’s been targeted only twice. In the red zone, where their size was supposed to help, those two wideouts have a combined two catches out of seven targets. That’s not always on them -- Doctson, for example, broke free off a pick Monday but the pass went elsewhere to the same side of the field -- but the success rate must improve.

“It’s not like we’re losing faith in anybody,” Gruden said. “We have faith in all our receivers to win one-on-one matchups and run the right coverage, run the right routes and all that stuff and make plays when the ball is distributed to them. It’s just a matter of trying to get everybody happy here. It’s hard. They’re all worthy of playing, but they all have to wait their turn and be patient and when their number is called, produce.”
