Suggested

at this point on the official depth chart on Redskins.com is as follows:
Depth Chart - Washington Redskins

Hackett and Hagans are above Marko Mitchell. I for one don't want another tip toe burgular (S. Alexander) episode (seattle connections). Might call this one alligator arm souffle (T.J. Hackett)...lmao - Just kidding. Whatever reason he is not talented enough to stay on a team....

We need to build on youth. Not journeymen. If they were that good they would not be journeymen. I am supporter of UVA and MD prospects. Just not Hagans as a WR..

The depth chart doesn't tell you who is/isn't likely to be cut, it just tells you who is in line for playing time pending their making of the team.

Marko Mitchell could make the team based on his draft pick status, and then not play much offense in deference to Hackett. But Hackett and Hagans are both way more likely to be cut.

Umm exactly. That's my point. So the depth chart had Hagans and Hackett for more playing time as far as the depth chart goes. Zorn better not play favorites with Hackett. We already made that mistake with Alexander..

So to me the depth chart reflects their opinions on each WR. Its sort of like an unoffical rank until cuts are made. Maybe feelings have changed since they made the depth chart. I hope so..

I like it.

1)Moss and Thomas
2)Kelly and Mitchell
3)Randle El

My logic here is to place similiar players ie size, speed, and agility where they would be most effective on the field.

The way I see it, wasn't it Portis that chewed off Gibbs ear about Sean Taylor??? Apparently the guy knows talent when he sees it... I am just sayin....

Just to clear this up......

Of the five players competing for the wide receiver spot, Hackett is the only one who doesn't play special teams, though Mitchell -- who had 153 catches in three years at Nevada -- never did before this camp. Special teams coordinator Danny Smith said Mitchell has a "real long way to go, but he's really made vast improvement."

This is a good read also plus Eloi would have no problem being put on the PS.

Hixon called Eloi "probably the best athlete of the bunch" and Smith said plays like his kickoff tackle against the Ravens, as a safety, are "hard for a rookie safety to do. . . . We've had a lot of guys who haven't made that play."

Eloi said this week that he would be excited for the opportunity to play on the practice squad, because that means "the guy is good, we'd like to keep him here, but he still has a lot to learn. And you have nothing to do but respect that."

53Fan · 08-22-2009, 09:33 AM

I would think a team like Chicago would jump on Mitchell pretty quick if he were put on the PS. You think Cutler would like to have him considering who he's got?

NYCskinfan82 · 08-22-2009, 09:38 AM

MM (Marko Mitchell) should not be put on the PS he'll never make it there some one's going to snatch him up.

I agree. MM can be the 5th WR and put Eloi on the PS.

I think Mitchell is making it real hard or coaches. I am pretty sure they felt DJ would snatch the 5 spot and it would be done but Mitchell is showing not just "pre-season scrub" goodness but he actually looks like he could help us out this year. His route on the TD was outstanding and that is a hard route to perfect. He has size and speed. Unless he craps the bed I don't see how we can't keep him on the roster.

Absolutely agree. This guy could add a lot to our receiving corps and could be a force in the redzone. Plus the combinations on 4 WR sets blows ones mind.

Exactly. Mitchell & Kelly with there size. We have 2 redzone threats and good hands receviers we could have for years to come. Compared to Hackett who has reached his upside and is not that impressive..

FRPLG · 08-23-2009, 12:22 AM

The more I think about it he more amazed I am. We haven't had a WR who could run that fade route like that since when?
