Re: Sleeper: Redskins WR corp

I'm also enthused. I'm a bit disappointed to hear that Devin Thomas has lacked focus at times during the preseason, but it's a huge deal that Zorn was comfortable enough with Kelly's improvement to announce him as the starting #2. That moves Randle-El into the slot where he belongs, where he's actually a matchup problem for defenses.

With Kelly, the fade route becomes a major threat in the red zone, meaning DBs have another part of the field they have to worry about. And the slant becomes a major threat on those 3rd and 6s, because Kelly can use that big frame to shield the ball from defenders.

The weakness for Kelly will be in route-running. I hope he's precise enough that Campbell can trust him fully. But overall I'm encouraged.

As a #4 WR, there's little pressure on Devin Thomas. He has the talent to make big plays, hopefully he can add a long bomb TD here and there throughout the season. Anything Marko adds is gravy.

That big target on the outside in Kelly is very intriguing. If he does well, I can see Campbell passing for 3800 yards and 22+ TDs. Key to all of that is the pass protection. That needs to hold. But I no longer expect WR to be a trouble spot for us. It's all on the line in my mind now.

I can't wait until Sunday. I think we will be much improved. I definitely see us scoring more points. All of our receivers are capable of making plays. Plus Cooley & Davis. "IF" this offensive line holds up our O could be dangerous. I definitely see 20+ TDs from Campbell. I would even go as high as 4000 yards passing max. As a result. I see Portis getting like 1500+ yards. If everything clicks and JC gets in a rhythm. Skies the limit. But these are "IFs". Sunday can't come fast enough.
