Where are Kelly & Thomas?

I would say do what Omar Epps did with Rashard Mendenhall....sit these f'ers down on the bench and let other people (Marko Mitchell, hello!) play.

Yep, Marko should be given a chance. Thomas should be demoted to #5, it's sad that the skins can't exploit his talents.

I agree. It's totally 100% unaccepatable. JC needs to start looking more for these guys but they also need to get open more. I'm not saying we need to change QB's but it would be interesting to see if the offense would run smoother if Collins was in there for a series or two.

Meanwhile the Skins employ a WR coach who HAS NEVER DEVELOPED A SINGLE PLAYER AT THE PROFESSIONAL LEVEL. I think he's been w/ us for over 5 years now. The thought should be simply mind-boggling. This is like a doctor who never diagnoses a single patient, a loan officer who never closes a single loan, a lawyer who never wins a single case. The only wide-outs who have any success w/ the Skins are guys who learned elsewhere. Hixon hasn't taught a single player in his group to run a crisp route, create separation from the defender, or position his body to block out the defender. Our young wide-outs look retarded out there but I'm saying it's not really something you can hold against them.

Mario Manningham is a beast for sure!!!!

You've met my doctor haven't you? I went to him with an eye infection one time and he put on his rubber glove and told me to drop my pants. ????? I call him Dr. Hixon now. He's foreign so apparently something was lost in translation. I've since started learning Korean to help diffuse any further miscommunication. I would change doctors but he has small hands which I find beneficial during my anal, I mean annual, physical.

In a season so far that very few things have gone right, what makes you think these rooks will step in to the limelight. Most of those other situations they have something else going for them and they step up and compliment them. Key word COMPLIMENT ! They are not doing it alone. Where as here they will have to do it basiclly alone as JC has not completely clicked yet! If things ever start to click I hope to see the young pups step there game up! But it won't happen till play calling sync with players execution.

Hixon is pretty damn bad.

Have to say it is most likely the FO and the dumbass dealing of our first rounders of recent past for underperfroming FA's. Thomas probably should have been passed over just because of where he went to school(Michigan St). Michigan St players usually don't make it in the pros. Last guy they had that even made a tiny bit of impact was Lorenzo White and he got stuck in a RB committee in Tennessee. Kelly should have been "vetted" better, as they should not have taken a gamble on him with the bad knee. Why we take gambles on a consistent basis is beyond me, especially when most of them haven't pan out. No matter what happens after this season with regards to Zorn saving his job or packing his bags, we are stuck with 2 busts at WR. Kelly gets somewhat of a pass from missing last season, but Thomas should have improved somewhat.

How about Julian Peterson and Plaxico Burress?

When was the last time we traded a first rounder for an underperforming FA?

Plaxico Burress, Andre Rison, and Mussin Mohammed WR went to Michigan ST. they all had nice NFL careers. Burress is in jail not to good for him now.

After watching the game over and analyzing the game...I found Kelly to be open quite a bit. Why he is not breaking out is a complex issue. Either JC is locked on to one reciever (mostly Moss) or the o-line just broke down. The main time that sticks in my mind is the JC interception to Moss. Kelly was open down the center of the field for a TD!!! No confidence and lack of time is why I think Kelly is due soon! As for DT I have no answer...He does not look very good!

Rodgers oline broke down and he found every receiver on the roster.
