#21Taylor4Ever Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 The Redskins are looking to get rookie WRs Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly more involved in the offense over the final six games. Don't hold your breath on Kelly, who has been bothered by knee problems all season. Thomas is flashing in practice and is expected to become more involved in game plans going forward. The Redskins passing game has bottomed out the past few weeks and is in dire need of a playmaking element. Source: Washington Post Related: Malcolm Kelly I know we must take a wait and see approach, but I cannot imagine how good this team will be once these two monsters get it going! Thomas has shown us flashes of what he might be, but I think Kelly is going to be the stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THUNDERDOME Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Can't wait to see one of them get into the end zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truant Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Someone got the message that Thrash and Yoder will not add any dimensions to this offense. Thank goodness. If Malcolm is (and can stay) healthy, he's going to be good to go. Thomas is still figuring things out, but he's making improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOF44 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 At least it sounds like Zorn is saying WTF our O has been stagnant with what we have, lets at least try to shake it up a little. May do no good, but you gotta try something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never4get#21 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Lets hope we see them both in Seattle. We need a spark on this offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeGibbsRypenGClark91 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Be prepared to lose. Those guys run like headless chickens on the field. I have no idea why we did not keep those WRs like Cadwell and Mcardell. At least they could run routes. This is not the time of the year to get rookie WRs caught up in the offense. Defenses are stepping up now. You do this to start the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May do no good, but you gotta try something. What are you talking about? Thomas has been on the field a lot. He can' get open or run proper routes. Kelly has been hurt. You act like he is keeping them on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepRyder Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 From what Zorn said it sounded like once again Devin Thomas was wide open deep for a TD but the pass protection sucked and Jason couldnt get it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You act like he is keeping them on the bench. Until last game I would not say he's been on field a lot. I love Thrash and he has played 3rd wide out a lot. But honestly if you can't get open does it really matter if you run a good route? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we are about to play an anemic defense and this would no be a good opportunity to let them get reps? Why play them at the beginning of the year when they are less prepared, and more of a liability, while the team goes out and wins games and goes to 6-4. Now, we need a spark. These rooks have had 10 games to study, play some, learn, and practice for that they can actually make more of a contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzSkinsFan63 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I believe the season rides on these 2 and has from the get go. And while we are at it release Thrash and pull up someone from the practice squad..Geez! They shouldn't be on the PS if they can't play Special Teams either so that is not an excuse!

The offense started out pretty good because defenses didnt know what to expect. If you look at the offense now, its the same exact offense we had that struggled last year, and the year before, etc. Thats why we drafted these guys, for more firepower. You think we should have just thrown these guys in from day one when they were struggling to stay healthy and struggling to learn the offense. I think it makes more sense to wait until theyve grasped it a little better, which obviously Zorn thinks is right about now. Especially now since the players we've been relying on for the past several years have proven they need help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrFan Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I'm all for giving them more opportunities to prove themselves. I just hope we are not going to play dink and dunk, and that we will, depending on game situation, launch a few deep passes to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianm23 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 From what Zorn said it sounded like once again Devin Thomas was wide open deep for a TD but the pass protection sucked and Jason couldnt get it off. Actually he didn't say that. He pinned JC on that one. He made it clear they had the protection on that one play, but JC missed him and dumped it off to Cooley. I suggest you check out his press conference again. He did say that they couldn't go deep often because of the lack of pass protection, but the deep routes were being ran.

You act like he is keeping them on the bench. I can see how you got your asshat avatar. Devin Thomas IS getting open, Campbell can't get him the ball because of protection issues. There was a play Sunday where Thomas had AT LEAST 4 steps on the defender and Campbell ****ed back to throw it to him and BOOM! planted in the dirt. Kelly has been injured, but he knows the scheme he is FINALLY healthy and we're are going to see what he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm far from an offensive coordinator, but I drool thinking about having them both on the field at the same time (and them being the only two WRs on the field) along with a max-protect scheme and doing play action. The defense would have no clue who to key on and we'd surely get one on one somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucfSKINS Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Doing the same thing week in and week out, expecting different results is whats called "crazy." Glad someone finally noticed we needed a change. Now, lets hope its for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MumboSauce Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I want to see what MK can do...the few chances Thomas has had, that I've seen I'm not impressed. He always looks covered and catches with his body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#21Taylor4Ever Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 I think it's quite exciting to see what we have in those two guys. I love what ARE does for us (except return punts...lmao!), but I think it's time for him to take on more of a #3 receiver role. And is it just me, or does ARE NEVER go deep?
