Pluses and Minuses: Bills vs Redskins

Down to 75 players on August 31; and down to 53 on September 4

(sidenote: Antonio Pierce just called the Skins the team to beat in the NFC East...so I like him again)
Hmmm....years of hatred down the toilet.....

well we really don't know how kelly prepares for the season. we're not at redskin park everyday. i remember gary clark always had hamstring problems yet he was always there on sunday.

Well we know both Kelly and Thomas both failed their rookie year training camp fitness test. For WR's or any skill position player to fail a fitness test is very unusual and telling.
There is a pattern here o flack preparation and their inability to become starters should not be a huge surprise. It seems at times in the past they were lacking in fight and desire.
They came in thinking they were already stars. Their own web sights, music videos, ego issues.
I have to give Thomas some credit though, during the long punt return for TD by mity mite, Thomas made a key block. He was physical and it was the first time he ever really impressed me.
The TD Thomas had later in the game was against Bills scrubs, I guess all Bills are scrubs to a certain extent, but it was against 2nd or 3rd team dbs.

Devin was having trouble beating third-stringers in training camp.

never been impressed by the kid?

I haven't given up on Thomas or Kelly just yet.

No reason at all to give up on Thomas. At least he's on the field and he had that nice TD last week. Kelly on the other hand just needs to get out there.

I think that his performance in that game was overshadowed by the fact that we lost because we didn't have a kicker.

Plus: the skins looked like a professional football tema with seemingly every player playing hard.

Minus: watching rex, i can see where all his ints come from. im not sure how comfortable i am having him be our next in command. i want a back up who can take care of the ball who doesnt have to win the game, he just has to not lose it.

really enjoyed the game.

C'mon guys. This was the best game of his career. What about the other 30 some? I like DT and I really like that he plays hard and plays teams. W/out question he's on the roster. But he needs to start being more consistent game in game out. There is no reason that 58 year old Joey Galloway should be ahead of him on the depth chart.
