The mid round LB draft picks have been completely invisible.
Barnes is legit...Tryon is ok...a tough decision on roster...Westbrook improved.
Safetys solid....Chris Wilson established at the #2 OLB easy...HB blades solid...the #2 picks from last year took a step back...especially Kellly...he had opps...just blew them....devon continues to be invisible as well as our backup TE...who is he? who freaking cares...not legit yet....I do like the oline improvement....adequate yes, improved, yes...dominant NOT.
Our Punter is amazing, best upgrade.
Campbell is solid but needs a dominant line which we dont have.

really?

Yup, he was invisible doing a good job returning kicks, and getting a catch or two. Come on, we have to come up with some negatives or this is not a Redskins fan baord. LOL.

That was the best I have ever seen him play. I was very encouraged by #11 tonight and I have to admit i'm not a fan of his.

3 catches 36 yards, I thought he ran some nice routes and looked like he "knew what he was doing".

Huge improvement over anything we saw from him last year, are ya kidding me?

Agreed, x16games and thats an enormous improvement over last year. Although Rock is steady at KR, DT looked like he might be able to break one.

I was holding my breath everytime he'd spin when he got tackled.

Yeah you gotta earn that trust, but he has some serious speed, and was hitting the hole hard. If he gets a step on someone, he is gonna be gone.

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!

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

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

We officially have FIREPOWER! Pro-bowl caliber players - Sellers, Moss, Portis, Samuels, Cooley mixed in with our young talent - Kelly, Thomas, Mitchell, Davis. If Campbell plays like he did last night and Zorn stays aggressive with the play calling, this Offense should easily average 20 a game. We play some pansies in the first 6 games, so we'll know early on what kind of Offense we've got.
