There are plenty or rookies who've made their presence known so far in the preseason: David Clowney, Desean Jackson, Lavelle Hawkins, Eddie Royal, Josh Morgan, Martin Nance, Dominique Zeigler, Onrea Jones and many more have been able to show up against the practice squad bound defenses they've faced. Devin did not.
I'm not going to label him a bust, but you've got to admit that it's disappointing. And I'm sure there's no one more disappointed than DT either. Let's see if he bounces back next week.
Some have pointed out that Dwight Lowery was manned up on Devin most the night, and it looks like the Jets have found themselves a quality CB in the fourth round. I wish the same could be said for the Skins CB from the 4th.

I'm relieved to hear that you're not going to label him a bust after 1 preseason game! It's hard to compare DeSean Jackson to Devin Thomas. The Eagles have the same QB and offensive system they've been running for years. It's easier to try to integrate the rookie into a veteran system. The Redskins are taking veterans and trying to integrate all of them into a new offense. In his defense Devin was over-thrown a couple of times. He's no Art Monk or Jerry Rice, but it's completely unfair to expect that (especially right away).
HAIL!!
