QB Donovan McNabb. He still could be adjusting to the offense. He could be bothered by the fact that he really only has one proven receiver. Or he could just be having a bad camp. It’s only 10 days into camp so it’s not time to panic. However, McNabb had another bad day Saturday. He’s waiting too long after the receiver cuts to make the pass, a sign that he perhaps does not yet trust them. Receivers who have broken free on crossing patterns often have to reach back inside to make a catch. His passes have allowed beaten defenders to recover. At what point do you get concerned? If he has a bad preseason, too.

Even w/ DM does anyone really think that this offense is going to average 24 to 28 points? I don't.

I don't think we will score 28 ppg. But I do wonder about our depth chart.

Do only the 1st through 3rd teamers stay at the cut?

came here to post this.. not necessarily though.. still in wait and see mode

Apparently DM wasn't a great camp player in Philly either, for whatever reasons

Donovan will be ready to go come week 1. I am not to worried about him at this point. He is expieriencing some growing pains in the new offense.

This is a new start to his career and he will get it down.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

I think he is playing most of his time at the RE position. That is what has been stated as his primary function, with NT being used on passing downs.

Like Matty stated he needs to be up to speed on the NT position and running him with the second team in camp is great because it doesnt ake away reps from KEMO ( who coming of injury needs as many as he can get ) our primary starting NT and gives him plenty in all the defensive looks. Gives he guy the opportunity to learn the NT position assignments in all of our different looks.

I noticed that too. Their first group looked terrible.

Thomas and Kelly both on the 3rd team. So far, So fail

They are just making the young bucks work for it. Plus Galloway was actually participating in 100% of the offseason crap.

This is the first thing I noticed. Wow. Moss and Galloway, Roydell and Armstrong, Then Thomas and Kelly?.... heck only T. Austin is behind them.

I guess it speaks volumes or atleast it should to those who keep saying don't worry Thomas and Kelly are going to be beasts.

Maybe we should just stick with Roydell (who was cut a year ago) and Armstrong being a beast this yr.

Edit: I forgot about Shay Hodge.

Just like AH is our backup nosetackle (like that's gonna happen). Don't get your panties all in a bunch over an unofficial depth chart during the preseason. The 2nd and 3rd stringers get more reps in the preseason so look at it as addition work.

Ah is a former All-Pro and is a proven NFL commodity.
Thomas and Kelly are unproven players fighting to make the final roster, much less be a starter.
Thomas and Kelly are third string because of their inability to stay on the field (healthy) and their inconstant play on the field. Not because they are trying to get them more playing time. It is refreshing that Shanahan is going to make them earn their roster spot. Unlike Cerrato's old style of reserving spots for under performing high draft picks. Our roster will be better top to bottom under Shanahan and Allen.
At this point I don't really care if Thomas and Kelly make it or not. It is time to move on if they are not going to be consistent producers on the regular season playing field.

Exactly

It's frustrating that apparently neither Thomas nor Kelly are making the strides, although Thomas is listed first as a ST returner, which I think he would be very good at. Ah well, bring on the new season!
