When will the rookie WR's make an impact?

[CRedskinsRule]

A lot of comments about trust, which is probably true, but also, if my belief in Zorn is well founded why not hold back some of what you want to do (Thomas for example) until people start stopping what you are doing. I can think of alot of games in the second half of the season where defenses will still trying to be figuring out Zorn's tendencies. With Kelly, if he needs time to heal, then thankfully we seem to be able to afford it (knock on wood) .
This question seems alot more appropriate only if our goto guys are struggling or worse injured.

I've been wondering were they are, but thankfully our starters Moss, Are and Cooley are doing fine so it allows are rookies to come along slowly and learn the play book probably (fingers crossed) their time will come.

Thomas and kelly were great picks. They still need time to develop and earn JC trust.

great picks that havent done anything :-)

Dline dline dline...how many years do we have to get dlinemen??? We def could use a tackle to help but i dont think its a necessity. I think our thinnest position right now is at lb...and im going to go out on a limb here and saiy it mght be time for betts to be replaced by a younger change of pace back..we can only go with the same 3 back set for so long

Ah how many years have we used a top pick on dline? Guess I missed those drafts. I do know we have drafted alot of receivers thou and that has panned out nicely for us.

We better pick up atleast 2 D-lineman next year. In the early rounds or atleast draft two mid round D-lineman and pick up a fairly young player that has alot of potential and is budding this year. Not an old dried up one that hasn't done anything in 4 years. Like we have been accustomed to doing. I hope we pick up some D-line man badly!!!! That should be the first and second pick. BUt we need D-Lineman and O-line overall and maybe a linebacker.

We need a young explosive DE, our DL is fine with Montgomery, Golston and Alexader. Maybe a replacement for Griffin down the line.

They are not great picks until they become great players on an NFL regular season game field. Let's not start calling any player great until they show it in a regular season game. Not in a practice, remember Tayor Jacobs greatest practice player ever, according to Champ Bailey. Or in a preseason game like Mike Oliphant, great pre season player.

Safety Horton is deserving of praise, he has produce. Cerratto and company finally produced a late round pick that can play. One player. Let's not go over board either.

[johnerotten]

they have already had an impact,just not a very good one.

[Darrell_Green_28]

Well Kelly won't be playing this week either..

Malcolm Kelly took part in the full workout and has recovered from his sprained ankle, but Zorn said the rookie receiver needs more practice and will be among the inactive players Sunday.

What Thomas needs to learn is keep his hands down. He has already been labeled and everytime he puts his hands up he's gonna get called.

[skinsfan_nn]

Devin Thomas is slowly taking baby steps with the help of Randy Thomas......he's a little slow but he is getting some time in and making a play or two.

Malcolm will do little OR nothing this year. He so far is like an eggshell, way to fragile for the NFL (I hope this improves with time)! Same thing with our TE Davis he hopefully will be a good developmental player down the road.

As far as impact players..? Jury's out, maybe in the future. Only time will tell.

thomas made a hell of a catch on 3rd down yesterday,but got called for PI which i thought was a rather shitty call.

Yea, that was a good catch, agreed. But I'm not sure what you where watching but the rules are clear and he was penalized for a good reason it was clearly interference and that will be called most every time, unless missed.

Did you happen to catch Randy Thomas having a nice little talk with Devin after the penalty?
