Good. The more competition the better. You think DT is thinking he'd better step it up? Go for it Marko!

If it is true (and I'm not doubting you, just the reporter), that's huge. We've needed someone to draw attention from Tana and if Lanky is the guy, then terrific. Also, maybe Thomas and Kelly will feel a bit shamed and work that much harder.

Any time a rookie 7th round pick claims a starting job, that's huge.

Im pretty sure Kelly is ready to step up, i just can't say the same thing for Thomas.

Re: Clinton Portis Loves Marko Mitchell
I like what I saw of Marko Mitchell vs the Steelers, especially that push-off on his TD. Definitely a keeper.

It wasn't a push-off but any wideout who doesn't initiate some contact before the leap is foolish.

R. Moss gets away with it just about every time in fact more often than not they call a foul on the defense even though the wideout clearly commits the penalty.

Marko did a little bit of a feeler and then abused the guy. Hell, the guy didn't even jump.

Michael Irvin was the best at that, now he pushed off.

Re: Clinton Portis Loves Marko Mitchell
At least he won't be embarrassing Gary Clark's #84. Great to see that number scoring TDs again....hopefully we'll see many more.

That was the best. And then he'd dunk the ball over the goal post.

I don't remember Clark ever dunking the ball over the goal post. Wasn't he about 5'10? Did he have that type of vertical?

Maybe I'm confusing him with someone else? But I thought I remember seeing him dunk it

Re: Clinton Portis Loves Marko Mitchell
So let's say Mitchell is a player for us, a Horton type on the offensive side of the ball this year, would that blow the whole "Hixon is a crap WR coach" theory out of the water?

I think I would still have some reservations, but if we can get good production from any of these receivers, I would happily take off my anti-Hixon hat, I still wouldn't defend him, but I would not look for every excuse to knock him like I do right now Unless Mitchell came out and said it was all Moss, of course.

LOL good one Matty. Everyone has a bit of luck now and again so I'm not sure Hixon gets a pass w/ one developed WR...however if Mitchell and either Thomas or Kelly have a good season I'll lobby for a Hixon avatar
