I think Thomas and Kelly have probably been doing more than people realize. People just like to bash them over what happened last year. They were rookies. They should take some blame for being out of shape, but I think they now know what it takes to be productive in this league and are taking the right steps.

I concur.
I'm more worried about Stan Hixon. Why did Devin feel the need to workout with Santana to improve route running. It's the coach's job to teach his receivers such fundemental things.

Nothing wrong with a little mentoring from Moss. DT needs all the help he can get. Just because he's working with Moss I don't think we need to take that as he's not working with Hixon as well.

I don't like Hixon, I wish he were gone. That said, I absolutely agree with Matty on this. Moss can teach DT and MK everything and anything he wants. That's all gravy for having him on the team.

I am not supporting Hixon but you gotta think as a receiver it would be more enjoyable to learn from Moss, just because it's a co-worker rather than a boss.

Just like I rather study with friends instead of the the professor. I am not saying ignore the coach, and I am sure Hixon does try to help the receivers because he isn't an idiot; he knows his ass is on the line. I think this story should be more a positive story to show DT is trying to improve, rather than a "glass half empty" take on Hixon.

Fans are aware that the third year tends to be the breakout year for receivers, but this second year is the critical year for development, IMO. If we see clear, positive signs of improvement across the board, I'll feel really good about our 2008 draft, even if neither Kelly or Thomas starts a game.
