Well yea, I guess u re right.. After all, he had only one injury.. JC loves him, it looks like.. It might turn out well.. But I decide not to try to be too excited about stuff until throughout the season, I learned my lesson.. Dude, I tend to be stressed out on sundays!

I'm seriously pumped about these guys. Kelly and Thomas both looked light years ahead of where they were last year -- to me anyway.

I'd actually like to see us pass it about 60% of the time. Start out throwing, get us some quick scores, then use the running game to pound the defense into submission to close things out. Above all, be aggressive and attack downfield. Hopefully the O-line will allow us to do that.

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL some REDSKIN FOOTBALL. HTTR.

I'm a DT supporter but i've said it before i want all our WR's to be good/great starting this game.

at the risk of sounding like a broken record I am enthused about most everything.....as long as our O Line stays healthy

That's key. We've changed some blocking schemes this year and should be better against the blitz. If our o-line guys can stay healthy, Samuels most importantly, the skies the limit. Call me homer or whatever, I believe this team is capable of doing some very good things.

Isn't the 2.0 version always supposed to be better than 1.0. 1.0 got to how many NFC Championships. 2.0 should get to that many SB's and win a few too!

There is a helluva lot of potential here. I want to see it come together on Sunday. I want to see the Skins hang 40 on the G-men. Nothing would make me happier.

Interesting to see all this excitement, when just a few months (even weeks) ago people were calling for Stan Hixon's head for not developing any young WR talent, and claiming that VC totally blew it by drafting these guys who didn't put up the numbers DeSean Jackson and Eddie Royal did last year.

For the record I agreed with the idea of picking two wideouts -- but was really disappointed that Devin Thomas couldn't get his ass in gear and prove that he belonged on the field when other rookies have done it in the past. Whether that was Hixon's fault, I don't know.

I'm cautiously optimistic about what I saw from Thomas and Kelly in preseason, and it looks like they might be just what the doctor ordered. We'll see if that continues when the games are for real.

But I don't think it's hypocritical for one to criticize the complete lack of performance from Thomas or Davis and then praise them when they do start to perform. That's just the way things are in Sports-Fan World.

Assuming we only activate 4WRs a game, I can actually see Mitchell active on gamedays instead of Thomas at some point this season.

[firstdown]

Well if its true they are a sleeper then they must have slept through preseason. Someone should buy them an alarm clock.

One word -----------> KNEE

If Malcolm Kelly's need stays healthy, the offense will move the ball compared to last year, period.

Well I think he has a healthy need to get the ball and show what he can do.
