Good to have Rocky and Carlos back healthy from their ACL injuries last year. Rocky showed a lot of promise last year and proved to be a force at the weakside LB spot. Carlos showed improvement as well and I think has matured over the last couple of years and hopefully he will be the player we expect him to be. Both players will see very limited action against the Jets but I think they will just be excited to get out there even if it is for the the expected 4-5 plays.
We will also get a chance to see 'Skins top draft pick Devin Thomas. Ideally it would be great to see Thomas or Kelly take on the #2 WR role. Randle El has been surprisingly effective in that role but to have a big, strong, physical receiver like Thomas or Kelly in that position would be ideal. Moss has speed and is a playmaker but he too is small so it would be good to have that guy that in one on one coverage would have the physical attributes that would give you confidence he would come down with the ball. It will be interesting to see Thomas out there and I'm sure Zorn will find a way to get him the ball to see what he can do.
We'll see how it all shakes down against the Jets and newly acquired old man Favre.
HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!!

Rocky is brittle and Carlos can't catch.
Small words from a small man.
They're true.
Rocky led the team in tackles last year and was a great performer. He has had his knee issues and hopefully he is over them. The thing is he is not NEARLY as brittle as Mike Brown. That guy will tear an ACL tying his shoelaces.
Carlos also made significant improvement last year. Frankly, I don't care as much if he doesn't catch the ball as long as he covers and defends well. The good thing is that we have three solid corners and pretty decent backups in Torrence and hopefully Tryon. Good depth and they should see more opportunities with added pressure on the QB from Carter and Taylor
