Yeah, but on the same ticket, you'll never know if Mitchell is NFL-ready if he doesn't play.
True ... but you and I don't have the benefit of seeing the man go against the Redskins D in practice, and how he's handling the classroom, and the weightroom, and if he's running the right routes at the right depth on a consistent enough basis ... etc. Zorn and the coaching staff do.Yeah, but on the same ticket, you'll never know if Mitchell is NFL-ready if he doesn't play.
Just sayin' ... just because the team's struggling doesn't mean Zorn and Co. are complete idiots.
Not to give the question short shrift, but I'm guessing if you posed that question to Jim Zorn he'd tell you, "because we already have Malcolm Kelly, who is the same height, has equal or better hands and a full year of experience over Marko--and has shown me he can catch the fade at an NFL level just fine. I just wish I had a QB who could throw him the ****ing pass."O.K., Om, alluding to what you said earlier about JC's inability to throw a fade-forget the fade thing for a moment. Here's something else I was getting at. What does the defense have to do to stop the Redskin passing game? Cover the hell out of Moss, Cooley, and El. Kelly either disappears or isn't seen-or is ignored, by Campbell. Where's the deep threat they have to keep in mind may just happen? They know about Moss-they saw a great example in the Tampa Bay game.
There's another example-the Daniel/Mitchell hookup for a td in the preseason-trust me, every team that the Skins have scheduled has seen that highlight.
Now, the opponent knows JC can throw passes like that and connect-they also know Mitchell can catch passes like that and score. Why not put that threat out there so they have to defend against such a possibility? It could leave somebody more open than usual-short, deep, whatever. I think it would be worth a try or two just to see how the D would adjust-or try to adjust.
So too when our quarterback takes the snap crisply, drops crisply, bounces crisply, pats the ball crisply, ****s his arm crisply and .... hesitates, jerks, tapdances, semi-panics and then tries to make a play ... practically every single time he drops back.
Word filters are cool.
