[quote=SFREDSKIN;709166]I hope they watched tape of Kelly vs. SanDiego, he had a great game. This kid has high potential.[/quote]

if you look at just the stats yeah..

5 catches for 109 yards.. one of those catches was like... 84 yards or something? leaving the rest 4 for 25ish..

he showed several nice catches throughout the year but I don't think that he had a dominant game per se

Staying with the optimistic side. I expect kelly and thomas to explode from better position training and a more coherent and aggresive game plan. I realize stats and film would both say no way, but I say way! Heck. 37 points opening night, kelly 1 td, dt 1 td 120 yds, cooley 2 tds cp 1 td ah/orakpo split a safety. If the writer can fantasize so can I!

[quote=Mattyk;709148]I thought I remember hearing about how Kelly was excited after talking schemes with Shanahan and how he was going to utilize him? Regardless, Kelly obviously needs to earn his spot so anything is possible.[/quote]


This is key.

We need people to earn their spots. I hope he makes the team but I am confident that Shananan is going to play the guys who give us the best shot at winning.

speaking of forgot to post that he was cut by the Lions

Re: Malcolm Kelly possible cut?
 

Kelly is the type receiver when utilized properly can be extremely effective. He dosen't have the speed to get a four/five yd. seperation from defenders, but he does have the ability to use his size and height to body-up smaller c/b's and make plays. Get him in one-on-one situations and even if he's covered and the ball is thrown properly he has the advantage.

He should be a keeper, but with such a log-jam at the position it's difficult to determine until the pads go on.

Damn!

Re: Malcolm Kelly possible cut?
 

This wouldn't surprise me and it shouldn't surprise anyone. Shanahan has shown that he is willing to part ways with any player that doesn't fit his scheme, regardless of how much money or resources the team spent on the player before he got here.

he's available!

Re: Malcolm Kelly possible cut?
 

The one thing that does make Kelly a liability is that, he won't be a starter and he dosen't play s/t's. That fact alone could make him expendable.

Re: Malcolm Kelly possible cut?
 

I think Kelly makes it as do DT, Santana, Mike Furrey because he can play more than just reciever and is a ST-er, Terrence Austin makes it as long as he doesn't F up in preseason, and I say its a toss up between Galloway and Wade, with me giving the edge to Wade in terms of youth, and the fact he is a ST-er as well.

But still this WR core is poor, and needs upgrading, such as a TO or Vincent Jackson type player.

i don't know, with a compitent head coach, good OC and above average QB, this wr group could turn out to be stellar.

Re: Malcolm Kelly possible cut?
 

Why the heck not? His draft status is the only reason we are seriously talking about him making the team. Lets cut ties with these last few Snyder picks if they dont produce. He can live happily wherever Rod Gardner and Brandon Lloyd are.

Ok, well sure we haven't seen yet what a good QB will do with our current WR's, and should definitely make them better, but how I still look at it is which of our WR's could start on other teams in our division, my answer is one, Moss. In order to win, you need more than one to be successful, IMO.

Re: Malcolm Kelly possible cut?
 

I'm gunna lay it out here, I don't think Kelly will be cut. He will be developed into our over the middle 3rd down clutch receiver and fade specialist. All this guy needs to do is learn to run a slant on 3rd and 5 and a fade to the corner of the endzone from inside the 20. He's obviously not going to be successful doing double moves...just not quick enough
