...rememeber Gary Clary?

I dont remember him, can you remind us???

Well...for a guy that is given an opportunity to be an NFL starter, it aint much better than ARE and he is dependable.
To be honest, I am not really suprise.
Actually, I am one of those folks that believe it is more likely that Kelly may become our #2...that is where I am a little down because he went backwards today....but that is just one game, he has been progressing nicely until tonight....on the other hand...Marco Mitchell to me has jumped significantly and is potentially equall to these two...he is certainly equal in terms of attitude...rememeber Gary Clary?
This guy has got a "want to" equal or greater than Santana Moss...
I am really suprised (remember I am skeptical in nature) about this guy.
I am thrilled about Marko Pollo
This guy can do things we haven't been able to do in years....he's got football instincts, knowlege, red zone impact, GIBBS guts.
What an amazing pick up by the FO...if they don't try to develop him as # 3 or better they are nuts.
That guy is a SERIOUS PLAYER!


Who is Gary Clary? Is he like that guy "Clark"...the Y key is nowhere near the K key! Or were you thinkin of KY?

Can we agree on this, the future looks pretty bright for the WR corps.

Hopefully Marko is the #5, but who knows. The Daniel no show means he is just about toast, unless Zorn plays him extensively against the Jags, but it looks like he was brought in to light a fire under Colt's ass. Colt had a half decent outing with one TD and an INT. I would have let Chase in for a bit after Colt got his TD, b ut I am not a coach. I hope I am wrong, but Chase is practice squad fodder now in my mind.

I wouldn't be surprised if Colt and Daniels are the only ones that play against Jax.

All in all a great game!!!!! THomas and Kelly are going to be exciting players to watch this season. The first team O line is very solid!!!!! JC shook the rust off and kicked some ass. Loved the 4 yard TD run. He took over. That is what I want to see!!!!! For the first time in a long time I have reason to be optimisitic about our team, not just the homer type optimism either. Thing is can we look this good for an entire 16 game season? Can't wait to see the Skins again up here in the D. I hope we can put up 30+ pts against the Lions this time.

I do agree...it is nice to have not only 2 but now 3 legit young guy alll big guys that will be taking over the reigns.

I see it this way....MOSS #1, Marko Mitchell # 2....ARE in the slot... and the slacker #2's pissed off on the bench waiting for an opportunity.

I would love for Mitchell to get significant starter reps...is is likely?
No, but this guy brings it on game day...his touches are TDs....the guy is money...who give a crap...Cooley is Money...we love him, Santana is Money....what the freak?
Portis is amazing....Marko Mitchell seems to be a playmaker.
If I were Zorn, I'd line him up #2 in the last preseason game to see what he can do.

Devon Thomas made ok improvement, albeit slow and steady.
Malcolm Kelly, who had a leg up on #2, went backwards, missing a couple key receptions, one being a TD....however, his ability and progress has been steady.

The reality is this.
We wont see a significant improvement in passing game stats until mid season unless marko mitchell is engaged immediately within the final week of preseason...in my opinion

Kelly will get it done, so will Thomas. Thomas already seems to have made great strides since being a total dumbass last season. Kelly did drop some "gimme" types, but still he has potential yet unfilled.

I would carry 4 WR this year Moss, Kelly, Thomas and Marko (Randle-El is the odd man out) and give the roster spot to Mason in the RB area. I like Buzbee and would get rid of Wynn is a spot can be found.

I will say it again, since I slammed Zorn mid-seaon last year.

Zorn adapted to Campbell strengths...deep ball, play action....I'd never thought I'd see it...it resulted in a 7-0 start....this aint no west-coast crap.

Now...I am skeptical that one preseason game adjustment means much considering he didn't adust at all last season but based on JC's comments on how thrilled he was to go deep on the Steelers last week....combined with the amazing deep success with Santana's acrobatic deep catch abilitiy plus enzone pass interference...hopefully Zorn gets it....
The redskins team is built for one thing....
Defense
Running
Deep passing play action.

Like it or not, this is a Gibbs squad.
We need to adjust the system to maximize the capabilities of our player.
Kudos to Jim Zorn for not trying to force a square peg through a round hole...
Nice adjustment MR Zorn!

you need to do more work Mr Blache.
