Thank you.

The key word is "expect" to start.

The title sais DT to Start Opposite SM, no biggie though. Hope he does.

Alright peeps, no offense but let's not get caught up in technicalities. There's a reason why we drafted these guys last year. Given the offseason they had as rookies, I can see why they didn't see the field that much. That said, if they've grown up and the coaching staff is seeing something in them, then let DT start. Get him experienced, throw him to the fire, and let him earn his paycheck. I'm glad this is happening, because now it is time for these guys to put up or shut up, and what better way than giving them playing time.

This, of course, is inevitable since our primary set is 3 WRs, and Randle El is more valuable in the slot...James Thrash isn't exactly the frontrunner at Z anymore.

It's either Thomas or Kelly, and unless both fail so obviously, no one is really in the discussion besides them.

No big surprise, the talk all offseason regarding DT has been positive and has only continued into training camp.

Good to hear how he's changed his approach and seems to be "getting it" as far as what it takes to be a good player in this league.

Lets face it , if we cant run , our passing game will suffer . If we run the ball , give JC time , our WR's should be fine . Looks like Heyer and Rinehart have worked well together today , as well as M Kelly making some more nice grabs .....Training Camp Practice Report: Aug. 3 (http://www.redskins.com/gen/articles/Training_Camp_Practice_Report__Aug__3_45339.jsp) .

]??? Didn't you just re-iterate what Lotus said.[/B] He has not been named the #2, but that is the expectation that he will, or put another way, he is on track to be named it.

Whatever, if it is based on performance than that IS a good sign.

You have a better chance when you are expected to start as oppose to being on track to start :)

This is encouraging news no doubt but it should be expected IMO. Thomas has sick physical ability and talent and he was a potential 1st rounder who fell into our lap. The expectation throughout the franchise and fanbase should be that Devin starts and is a legit threat opposite Tana.

And...if Devin is legit the offense has a chance to effing fly this year Skins fans. I'm still real pessimistic about Kelly, the next guy I want to hear about is Davis cuz that opens things up even more.

Man things are getting really exciting...

Dude, no offense but before you tell me to learn to read, please look up the word "expect" and see if that means the same as "sure thing."

You didn't have anything better to do than to criticize the title of the thread??? Goodness man, get a life.

Either way, good news because we all know ARE is more of a slot guy anyways. Id like to see Kelly step up also but at this point one of the other youngsters may pass him up.
