Personally I would have benched Moss and put Mitchell or DT in. I think they're ready to contribute too but they're not being given much of a chance so far.

Yep, I would consider making Mitchell my #4 receiver and demote Thomas to #5 (maybe it will light a fire under his ass). Santana would benefit in the slot (occasionally) with his speed along with ARE.

You gotta call pass plays and get the guy the ball, the receivers didnt even have an opportunity to contribute. I feel like Kelly & Thomas are ready, but if we continue to just run the ball, they arent gonna help. I blame Zorn more than anyone at this point!

Couldn't agree more, he has to trust the youngsters and start using them.

I don't have anything against Moss, he's usually our best receiver. But if he can't get his head in the game we have a 6-4 receiver who's just waiting for his chance. I agree about occasionally putting Moss in the slot. As Mitchell and DT progress, maybe we'll do that.

How about the fact that the young guys have to be alot hungrier than Santana? These guys have something to prove that they beong in the league. Santana knows he's the man and they will not bench him. Maybe it is a message that needs to be sent alla Mike singeltary in S.F. with Vernion Davis. Either get on the same page and play your heart out or ride the bench and gimme some guys that want to make plays. JZ needs to take control and use is authority as HC: gain some respect from the players.

Exactly! I would have benched him and made him earn a spot back. He'd have to return punts first of all. If he took one to the head and got his act together, I'd put him at slot.
