Where are Kelly & Thomas?

[KLHJ2]

After all of the recievers that have come through Washington in the past few years and done absolutely nothing I refuse to believe that all the blame should be pinned on the younger WR's. There is something else going on, I am not quite sure what it is. I would put money on Marko failing in the number 2 spot as well.

Yeah its called bad evaluations by our FO. We knew what the rap was on Thomas and Kelly before they got here.

Kelly was slow

Thomas was not that experienced.

This analysis is proving true and rearing its ugly head.

But what makes you think Marko would fail. He has nothing to lose. He is the hungriest out the bunch. I heard him say in a interview that he iwill not be content at jsut making the team. He wants to move up the depth chart. I like that!! Shows heart and determination and swagger and he was the recevier that gained the most respect this offseason. Ask Carlos Rogers..ask D Hall. ask CP!! These are players not fans like us. They saw him on the field everyday. He attacked not just went through the motions. But all in all we will never know unless Zorn gives him a chance. I hope he does in the next few weeks.

Everybody in his position says that, if he was that good he would have been on the field a few times already. I am not so sure that those comments from Portis weren't made in jest to poke fun at Carlos Rogers. If he (Mitchell) is really that good he will get a shot sooner or later. Based on everything else that I have seen though, I do not believe that he would fair better than Malcolm Kelly, Devin Thomas.

They say its more of less him learning the plays. Not talent. He was more of a deep threat at Nevada. Saying that why can't we use him in certain situations liek endzone or being a deep threat?

Also some one is saying that we are expecting them to be 1,000 yard receivers. I dont think that is the case. We just want them to make "some" plays. Right now they are making none. Kelly will improve when he learns to use his size to shield/post up defenders and make himself a more viable and safe target.

To learn implies someone is teaching him. It may be hopeless.

I think he is learning. I am not going to use stabilty in one offense as an excuse. But I will say this. If JC was to get more comfortable in an offense he would be able to learn the different nuances and not have to think as much. Do some people question his intelligence and whether he can read defenses? Yes they do. But how do they know? Just because he may over look a receiver? I for one think that Zorn is giving him a little bit of freedom at a time. Once you get comfortable in a offense you don't have to think about the plays as much. You can sit back and read the defense and concentrate on that and call an audible if neccessary. I think Zorn is teaching him. But letting him get comfortable in the offense also. In the no huddle offense he excels. Whether you think it is in garbage time or not. Zorn give him a set of up to ten plays to call for that situation and JC does the rest on his own. So he obvouisly understand the plays. He is just still growing. There are other issues liek offense line and young receivers and still working out the kinks in the play calling. No QB will make it here if we dont have a little patience. God forbid we draft a rookie and have a losing record and they do horrible the first year. Some peoples heads might explode. lol

Not just receivers. It's hard to tell if the current regime has any ability to develop talent. 11 draft picks last year and no one but Horton could get on the field as a rookie, and even that didn't happen until Doughty went down with injury.

MK, DT and FD could all be bums, but who knows. They're essentially 3 games into their rookie season playing for an Offense that struggles mightily being coached by an unproven and heavily scrutinized staff that may not be here next year.
