Devin Thomas on track to start opposite Santana Moss

GTripp...is that you? :)

LOL I thought the same exact thing!!!

Devin steppinf forward and preparing like a pro is great. He is a professional football player and I'm glad he has humbled himself. And also started to act like a pro in his preperation ( good for him that's why we edrafted him). Seems as though we are hearing great things about him and Kelly, but to the same respect I woulld not expect to hear negative statements coming from the redskin staff at this point. Let's see some game action of these guys so we can see for ourselves where our guys are. Let's go skins!

The fact is, we haven't had a legit 1/2 receiver combination since the days of "the posse". Thomas could change that, and that has me excited.

BTW, I've been away for a while...its good be back.

thanks. and didnt we think Kelly was the better wide out when we drafted him? did we give up on him already?

I don't think Devin Thomas is starting material. I lthink Malcom Kelly is the better of the two.

Based on what exactly?

It is very encouraging if a draft pick earns a starting spot. I also think that Randle-El should be in the slot (probably where he should have been this whole time...) it is unfortunate that we are paying him #2 receiver money and he is a liability as a punt returner. Oh well, we can fix that next year...

You're right. Coles and Gardner had the potential if it wasn't for Coles' foot injuries and the butter on Gardner's hands.

Per Redskins Insider, apparently DT sat out practice today with "the official injury of the Washington Redskins" - the sore hamstring.

You have to be able to get on the field to be considered starting material. Devin Thomas to date has been superior to Malcolm Kelly.

For the record I never wanted us to draft Kelly. I was pissed when we took 3 pass catchers in a row 2 drafts ago. I was even more pissed that one of them was Malcolm Kelly.

Don't get me wrong, I will be happy if Kelly ends up being a good player. I just think that Thomas has had and is going to have a better career. If not, then why is Thomas in the shoot for starting Z and not Kelly?

Are you talking about NFL career, or college career? Because Kelly had the better college career.

Also, Kelly is being more prepared for the split end position than the Z anyway.
