Devin Thomas had a fine night on Friday, but I think Malcolm Kelly will win the spot.

I don't know before the NE game i had MK but DT looked good when they did throw to him & there was a couple of times when he could of got big gains but JC was rushed. I want all of them out there competing.

[wolfeskins]

i think it will be kelly.

Marko . . . by week three . . . te hee

[Monkeydad]

Kelly...barely.

DT should be the return man, we need to get the ball in his hands more, but Kelly earned the spot over him.

Marko will get on the field more than any other #5 WR in the league hopefully.

Devin Thomas still scares me when he is running routes. Too many mistakes happen when the ball heads his way for it to be purely coincidental. If he can stay healthy I think Kelly is clearly the better player.

Devin Thomas is going to win it. He really stepped up last week and I believe that he will just continue to progress. I don't have the same love affair with Malcolm Kelly as the rest of you do.

I thought that Moss had the Flanker position on lock down? Split End is the one that is open.

Moss is the split end. I agree with you that Devin had an excellent game at flanker against NE, and I especially like his speed on KO returns. That said, I believe Malcolm will be the starter, and Devin will see some opportunities coming off the bench.

That's an error. Moss was originally (last year) slated to be the starting flanker with either DT or MK emerging as the starting X (or Split End).

That didn't work out quite as planned and ARE was the starting flanker and Moss as the starting split end.

Zorn has said on a couple of occasions this summer that Moss will start at the X, and that there is a competition for the starting flanker spot.

I think DT will ultimately be named the starter at flanker because that should be his position long term. And they will continue to develop Kelly as a split end, because that should be his position long term.

That is what I thought too until I saw the depth chart. Whoever is in charge of updating the site over there needs to get on the ball. They are passing off bad information.

I remember the articles about Moss starting as the X now, and that Thomas was supposed to be the Z. What confused me a tad is that I rarely ever used the term Flanker or Split End. I think that Junior high was the last time. I have always used X or Z. So when I went to the official website of the Washington Redskins to see who was what I assumed that the flanker was the X and that the Split end was the Z.

Now that I have thought about it, I understand it. The Split end is the X because it is the End usually lined up on the line of scrimmage and split out wide on the opposite side of the field as the tight end. The Flanker is the Z who is usually lined up wide but in the backfield or off of the LOS. I was never confused about the Y, there is usually ony 1 TE.

It won't matter who is technically starting, both will see plenty of action.

I think that is how it will work. I think between the 2 and ARE the 3 of them are going to all get a bunch of snaps. Who "starts" at WR2 and WR3 is so dependent on the set too.
