The move also tells me we got the vet WRs to compete to play and not just to light a fire under the newbies' butts. Don't be surprised if Shanny releases another newbie later on when the roster has to hit 53. I hope Mitchell actually pursued a real degree at Nevada and not the typical basketweaving ones like Phys Ed or a general Communications degree. It is a 50/50 chance somebody is going to pick him up. Getting released at minicamp isn't very good.

I'm a Phys Ed/Health major at Longwood University I wouldn't call it a basketweaving major. At my school it is actually one of the harder education programs to get out of and requires a higher GPA to stay in the program then our Business school and requires the 2nd most credits to graduate out of the entire university. Don't hate on PE

Or Gym class....I can remember my PE teachers always saying "Gym (Jim) there is no Gym (Jim) here"


I don't know who is more uptight about their jobs dentist or PE teachers. God forbid you don't refer to a dentist as a Doctor.

Haha it's true my professors go nuts if you call it "gym" class. It's a lot harder now than it used to be to get through it but it also depends on where you go to school as well. I transferred to Longwoods PE department and realized quick it was no joke. It's not surprising at all to see people not graduate on time haha like me

Not hating, but when my uncle was the HC of Ohio St football in the 80's, by far the most popular majors were PE and Communications. UNless you get into some really specialized subset of the two, it might really be hard getting a job nowadays. Probably was back then also.

I've always wondered about this. Is your uncle the reason behind your Gus Frerotte love?

Yea PE back then was most likely a joke, and I thought the same thing going into it. I just wanted to coach and have summers off. But now it's like damn I'm working my ass off just to get by classes. Couldn't believe it when I'm sweating over anatomy classes, exercies physiology classes and bio mechanics. All these just to teach gym haha. I was a assistant at my old college on the basketball team and I'd love to see those guys pass some of my Phys Ed classes haha. Times are definetely changing

A general business degree is pretty mellow too though. Not taking away from what you're doing at all though; I had several friends go to Longwood for teaching.

My take is that Shanny got the vets to shore up the WR corp til he can draft some next year and the next. Don't be surprised to see either Thomas or Kelly get dumped in August. I doubt it is going to happen, but shoot if Marko got released, those guys can be on the block as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kelly gets cut. My guess is he's next.

That is the best he can hope for. He has decent size, etc, but if we didn't draft him, he would have been undrafted, so nobody deemed him worthy of picking up in the first place. Getting rleased during minicamp isn't a good thing at all for a player's resume. Look for Shanny to draft a WR with one of our top 3 picks next year.

marko mitchell was never even close to being in the same league as kelly and thomas, so releasing mitchell has nothing to do with the status of either of the 2008 WRs. however, smoots been telling us all offseason that kelly was on the block, so if he doesnt make the team, it wouldnt be a complete surprise. that said, i doubt either Galloway or Wade is a threat to Kelly, Thomas, or Moss. If any of those three dont make the team, it'll be because we traded for someone better... or signed TO... GULP.

Never mentioned Moss, only the newbies as maybe being a victim of another surprise cut. And if we retained Wade and Galloway for a year or two, Shanny can draft some upper round Wrs that can get the job done.

I have not been saying that about Kelly. I said that he was in the discussions for Marshall.
