After watching DeSean Jackson and Eddie Royal - EXTREMESKINS.com
Does anyone get the feeling that our two rookie WRs may be huge busts?
Granted, Malcolm Kelly hasn't played a down yet but the fact that he came into camp so unprepared shows some unprofessionalism on his part.
And Devin Thomas, in what we've seen in him in preseason, he doesn't seem too explosive or play with a lot of fire that I've seen in DeSean Jackson and Eddie Royal...

Yes, I was thinking the same thing.
Four rookie WRs, two producing and two that aren't.
We have two. Guess which ones are the bums (so far)?
|
|
|
But....but....our guys are tall!!!!
|
|
It must be hard for rookies to grasp the WCO...oh wait.
Kidding aside we have to give them a shot to truly call them busts, it has only been one game.
Though I must say Eddie Royal was dogging DeAngelo Hall all night long it was a pretty impressive performance against what many consider to be one of the best man-to-man cover corners.

I wouldn't call them busts yet.
but i think it's obvious that Royal and Jackson are much better players than our picks are.
more of the same from Vinny Dumba@@o.

Eddie Royal and DeSean Jackson got to play their first games against what could be the two worst teams in the league.
Just saying.
|
|
How about we give our receivers some time.
Its way too early to tell.
|
|
It appears that Vinny has so far screwed the pooch on this one...
AGAIN.

Yeah, and they also played for teams missing their best receivers thus giving them extra targets.
The Skins only threw one ball to Thomas so far, and Kelly hasn't seen the field.
Maybe they'll be busts, but I'll give it till week 8 or so to see how they do.

Not really. Some first reception stat lines...
Terrell Owens - 2 Receptions for 6 Yards in Week 4
Chad Johnson - 2 Receptions for 28 Yards in Week 3
Torry Holt - 3 Receptions for 36 Yards in Week 1
So the jury's still out on Kelly and Thomas (and Davis).
But what it does make me question is why we took so many receivers.

Wow here we go again.
Look, please understand that though DJ is an exceptional talent, the fundamental difference between DJ and our rookie recievers are the QB's.
Ok let me put it like this.
On sunday the Eagles had 3 recievers with 100+ yrds each, with the lights of (Baskett, Lewis, and Jackson).
This is considering that thier #1 and #2 recievers were out.
This is because the system and QB (Mcnabb) has been in place for the past 9 - 10 years.
Therefore you can plug any average reciever in that situation and they will flurish.
Its not that the Eagles have better recievers (because they don't), but its because they have a more established program than what we have right now.
We will really have to wait and see.

I would argue that the Raiders defense (especially pass defense) is not that bad, overall they are a bad team but that aspect is actually pretty decent.

Did you watch the game last night?
They looked horrible.
In every aspect of the game.
They have talent on defense.
But the coaching and cohesion is a joke.
|

The Raiders pass defense looks good on paper, but after last nights showing not to sure anymore
|
|
Way to soon to say our recievers are busts.
Its kind of hard when Thomas got the ball thrown to him only 1 time right?
I think we need to get the ball to Thomas a little bit more then 1 pass a game and see what he can do.
As far as Kelly well he hasnt even stepped on the field yet so to soon on him as well.
But it was extremely depressing watching both those guys have very impressive games.
