I don't think they need to bring another WR really. But if they want to bring one back....Maurice Mann is tearing it up for the Eskimos up in the CFL: 5 games, 22 catches, 298 yards, 3 TDs
Seriously though, totally sucks about Kelly but let's just flush this season for him (see that? another plumber joke) and start fresh in 2009

We are not as clogged up at the WR spot as we once were.

Enough of this fragile egg this year already. Should have already put him on IR. Make room for a football player.
Maybe next season we can get something outta this kid.

We should have IR'd him from the get go apparently. The thing that really annoys me is that we knew before the draft he had knee issues- it was a red flag with him for sure - yet we drafted him anyway. And surprise surprise, his knee has been drained so many times the Redskins may hire him a full time plumber.
LOL! Good one. Why did Vinny and the guys pick this guy if they knew he had bad knees??????? I guess all front offices make bad picks, I'm not giving up on the guy but this looks like it's a lingering thing. Oh well... looks like they found a gem w/ Horton!

I guess that is why the FO took 2 shots at a receiver. You never really know until they get in the league, so if even one pans out we win. Right now our top 3 receivers still give us most of what we need and I still expect good things out of Thomas.

Nobody has signed Mix and that should tell you all you need to know about whether we should go after him for anything more than just being another body

Lets just pretend we picked up Horty in the 2nd round and Kelly in the 7th!

I'm in favor of Mix, he's a special teams beast and a big red zone body.

Oh well, it's not like we didn't know this was coming. Get him on IR so he can start rehabing for next year. There are a couple of guys we had in training camp available.
That was my point- we did know it was coming- he had knee problems before we drafted him. As the Ole Ball Coach said, hindsight is 50/50, but it appears he wasn't much of a draft pick at this point.
I wouldn't be critical at all if the knee wasn't a prior issue, but it's frustrating since we knew all along there was a good chance of this.
The way Billy McMullen played in the preseason, I sure we kept him on the 53 man and IR'd Kelly from the get go.
