Redskins-Chiefs Offensive Review

Our issues can be summed up as the following: we ran three plays, and not one receiver got open. On three plays. On the 10 yard line.

Cooley had single coverage on the first down play, and had a long developing route. A perfect throw would have gotten the TD, but we never had a better chance after that which is sad.

Our receivers have to be the worst group in the league.

So besides O-line which is an obvious need our WR's suck. Why is it that everytime the Skins pick WR's they all suck, unless they dip into FA? Is there any possibility we can salvage them with new management/new WR coach or do they actually suck. Why is it other teams seem to collect decdent WR's like candy and we can't draft a half decent one?

I'm not busting your balls just wondering if any of their lack of success has more to do with Hixon as I believe or is it that our Scouts suck also at picking WR's.

Kelly can be our No. 2 if he ever can stay healthy. His preseason wasn't a mirage, necessarily, but Kelly hasn't been open in about 4 weeks. He's not right.

There's nothing Hixon can really do with Thomas or Kelly, as they just suck right now. It would be nice if he would get Moss to buy into the offense, and we could get a decent receiver out of him. Randle El is doing fine, so that leaves Marko Mitchell as the Stan Hixon test case. If he goes to hell and does nothing this year, then you can probably conclude that Hixon is creating more problems than he is solving.

I haven't heard of Kelly's knee being injured. He just can't get open.

And he plays for a team that only managed to score 6 points against the worst Defense in the league. Santana Moss can get open, and he only had 1 reception. Hard to assess anyone's true talent on this team.

I guess I'm agreeing with you. It's hard to assess anyone on this team if the O-line keeps breaking down not giving JC enough time to locate his targets. If JC keeps going through his progressions too quickly. If the WR's are not taught how to get open. etc. etc.

Well it's his thumb that hurts, but you don't run with your thumbs
