When will the rookie WR's make an impact?

santana will need to be doubled, thatcould lead to thomas running free if he gets his routes down

Give them some time. There's no big rush considering the way Moss and ARE are playing.

Moss, ARE, Cooley, Thrash, and Portis are all going to have more receptions than Thomas. So I'd be surprised if Thomas had 300 yards this season, unless someone is injured or JC throws for 6,000 yards.

Does anyone know whether Kelly practiced yesterday? That would be a big first step to getting back on the field. Let's also not forget about Fred Davis. I'd love to see him in with Cooley at the same time - then you cannot double Cooley underneath. This offense could get downright scary when we get all of the young weapons healthy and up to speed.

The kid from Philly, Jackson, is a play maker. Where was he on the draft board? Why didn't the Skins consider him rather than the two pokes we got?

I suppose the logic was that we already had a guy like Jackson in Santana Moss. I hated the Davis pick at first, but it grew on me when I saw the guy's athletic ability during the preseason. I hope that all of our rookie receivers make an impact soon.

yeah, we already have a "desean jackson" that's why. Man, after all the clamoring around here for some "tall" receivers, we go out and get two and people wonder why we didn't take the little guy. LOL.

Could you have imagined the reaction to taking Jackson when all we've heard the past few years is how we need a big WR?!

Gotta love hindsight.

Thomas is on the field A LOT already, but he doesn't yet have Campbell's trust. They like his blocking ability on the outside and will try to run him vertical behind the defense.

However, a lot of the Redskins passing game is three step drops and getting the ball out quickly to a player that Campbell decided on presnap. Because of the position Santana Moss plays in the offense, he is often going to be Campbell's presnap read. Devin Thomas doesn't yet have Campbell's trust since he's not usually where Campbell wants him.

The 2-3 plays Malcolm Kelly has actually been in on, it seems like Campbell does trust him a bit more. However, he's not doing a whole lot of good on the inactive list every week.

I want to see more Fred Davis.

Malcolm Kelly being inactive these last two weeks meant no empty backfield packages for Campbell. Right now, that's his role on the team, 4th WR.
