DMVSkins Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 With Malcom Kelly suffering a major (sarcasim) thumb injury Coach Z reports that we will see alot more of Devin Thomas not due to Malcom thumb injury but because he's "coming on". I hope that we get to see what coach is seeing on the field this sunday because this would be great news......oh yeah source of this thread redskins.com Zorn interview.

S.T.real,lights,out Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Well we haven't seen a thing from Kelly all year so....... i guess im not going to get too excited over this. Just have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible_Red40 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Very difficult not to be "coming on" with his production......or lack there of. Let's just see if/when he gets open, gets a look from JC, and gets a pass thrown to him. They i'll be hyped about "coming on". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash614 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I'm not going to get my hopes up, but if Kelly can't really make a difference in a game, which is the case so far, then I'm all for Thomas doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Bleed_B&G Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 how can he go from nothing to just producing all of a sudden. I'm not buying it. Just false hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinC Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Well it would be good to see either of Thomas or Kelly make a significant contribution - in fact forget good it is going to be critical. Yet again our passing attack comes down to getting Moss deep balls off play action on 1st down and throwing to Cooley on 3rd downs. Teams must be game planning on taking away those two options so you know that whomever is playing outside opposite Moss is going to be seeing single coverage a lot. If we don't make teams pay for this the passing attack will start to go the same way it did last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinC Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 how can he go from nothing to just producing all of a sudden. I'm not buying it. Just false hope He has not been on the field much and when he has JC has hardly looked his way. Some of that might be about lack of confidence that he will be where he should be or him not getting separation but some of it is about JC locking in on Moss and Cooley because he trusts them. Hard to catch many passs if none come your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players should prove it on the field when Sunday comes. It just gets annoying when the coaches and players say this player is coming on, this player is fantastic in practice, this players is tearing everyone up in practice only to get on the field and do absolutely nothing. Let the guy get on the field and if he performs well then everyone will be talking about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrecker Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I am not believing anything until a receiver not named Moss or Cooley has 6 catches, 100 yards and a touchdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I take EVERY word out of Jim Zorn's mouth with a grain of salt. I honestly don't even have faith that he knows what he's saying half the time.

I just get a feeling that Thomas and Kelly are being held back by wider problems with our offence not just their lack of progress. I played some WR and I recall a coach telling me - "just keep getting open and eventually the QB will look your way" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsNumberOne Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Haha, "coming on" is about the emptiest of positive platitudes he could use for Devin. "Looking good" or "looking great" would sound better, but "coming on?" That's if we're actually going to bother overanalyzing a couple of words that Zorn said anyway.

The Full Monty Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Heard the same thing about Devin Thomas....last year. At this point, I take EVERY word out of Jim Zorn's mouth with a grain of salt. I honestly don't even have faith that he knows what he's saying half the time. Yup, he's such a goofball. He talks a good game but Zorn hasn't demonstrated that he knows what the hell he's doing on the field where it counts. Another year on the job, an offseason of "continuity" has produced the "continuity" of crapulence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, it was around game 3/4 when things clicked for Zorn. Perhaps it will be the same this year, and perhaps we'll sustain. We did see some differences in the second half against Tampa. It's still early in the season. Yes the wins were disappointingly close against bad teams, but as most of the responses early in the season pointed out, we won't know what we have in this season till we face the Eagles. Let's be glad we have a chance to find an identity and hopefully work on it before we face them. Hopefully Zorn will still figure things out. I was hoping by last week's game he'd have it, in my opinion if he doesnt' have it by the 5th game (not by "the second half" of the 5th game) then we've got serious problems.

The Rams game and the Steelers games traumatized Zorn. I don't think that he'll ever get it back, but you're right on that the third or fourth game last year is when we could all look around and say, "Hey, maybe we've got something special here!"

I don't think that he'll ever get it back, but you're right on that the third or fourth game last year is when we could all look around and say, "Hey, maybe we've got something special here!" Well, what's weird is that this year we have a much better pass blocking offensive line. We all know that from what we know about our personnel (it's a well-documented fact about Heyer). And yet, when asked after game 1 what their identity was, Samuels immediately answered unequivocally that it was as a running team. Last year, to open the season, Zorn thought we were more of a passing team. This year it felt that, to open the season, he felt we were more of a running team. He's slowly shifted from that, I think. Like our front office who wasted years picking up overpriced aging FAs, it just feels like he's a slow learner (I keep thinking about how he was using Cooley to start last year, that really bothered me that he didn't know his personnel that well to open the regular season). Hopefully by game 5 he'll have some stuff figured out. The key last year was the offensive line falling apart (mainly Samuels). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
