I'm still not ready to give up Thomas and Kelly. We'll see how that plays out.

I agree. But I am just wondering why Marko is not ready. Mike Martz say there is a huge learning curve for WR second only to QB. Because the WR have to read defenses also. But I guess that is why so many people are Hixon so hard. He should be getting our receivers ready. Teaching them the routes and how to run them properly. Also the tricks of the trade. How to make your breaks. how to field off defenders using your body to make it harder for them to make INTS. Like on that interception JC threw that was intended for Kelly. He let a smaller defender jam him then pin him to the sidelines the whole route. Then he had a bad position on the jump ball and didn't little to break up the interception.
I am in no way saying the INT was Kelly's fault though. I just wonder what Hixon is teaching these guys. If they are not listening to his direction when it comes to game time.
He sould sometimes bench them for another WR like Marko. One to proove a point. Secondly to see if someone else can do better.
