Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week Whatever)

From Rich Tandler:

McCardell, Kelly, and quarterback Donovan McNabb have been putting in some extra time after team workouts. “Every day after workouts, me and Donovan have stayed out running routes get our timing down,” he said. “And I stay out with Keenan and he really harps on the way I run a route. It's good because you want to give Donovan the feeling that you're going to be in the right place at the right time.”

McCardell is working Kelly and Thomas hard at the request of the players. “I'm going to push them and push them and push them,” McCardell said. “I'm going to push them to the edge and that's the way those guys wanted it. We talked about it, and they want it so I'm going to do that because I can tell they both are hungry and want to win.”

This is a make or break year for Kelly. Players rarely get a fourth season to prove themselves before the team starts to look elsewhere. While there is a long way this year to go he is off to a good start.

I think it is safe to assume Hixon didn't do any of this.

BINGO!

On a side note, all the talent in the world, 2 yrs in the league and Kelly still has trouble running routes? But this is what I have been screaming about for ...well since Hixon's second term. Every year it seemed we were bringing in new WR talent. No developement. Now we are forced to develope 2+ WR's in one summer. The good news is we didn't keep the same coach's and only replaced Hixon cause I'm betting both Thomas and Kelly would be gone after this yr. I'm betting if they both have a half decent yr then they will stay to be developed further.
