RUMOR: Skins Want To Deal Devin Thomas

[apiatt]

The only thing that makes sense is that they believe Austin has more upside then Thomas, and since he was a 2nd rounder, they may still be able to get a decent return out of him. Other then that, I don't see what the WR corps has done that is all that positive. Armstrong seems to be able to get behind the defense on occasion, but I am not sure he plays the ball well in the air. Galloway is a fossil and I don't think Banks can get off the line of scrimmage consistently. Not sure that any of the WR on the roster will be there long term.

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS! anybody we get would be better! I can'[t believe 'AVOID THE LLOYED" IS doing so well in denver either. He's actually catching balls! and not dropping balls!

[PHazard]

It's quite clear that Devin Thomas is the offenses version of Albert Haynesworth. Something DT did in the off-season irked the hell outta shanahan so bad that he never got over it. I remember it being reported that DT only made it to 55-60% of offseason workouts, just enough to keep a presence around Redskins Park, and not have to pass a conditioning test when getting to training camp. Shanahan is uptight so that might have been all it took.

Whoever said that other receivers are just "running around like decoys" is outta their mind. They have specific routes that they JUST CANT GET OPEN running. Thats how this boggles my mind. Galloway hasn't done anything except that 3rd down catch yesterday. But i dont think he should start for catching a 5 yard slant. Devin Thomas is 6'2". The only receiver on our roster with decent size. I dont think in today's NFL we can have the Smurfs 2.0 (trading Devin and activating TA). and PS. Devin Thomas is faster than TA.

Yes, agreed, Devin Thomas had one productive year in college, BUT WHEN THE HELL WAS THE LAST TIME JOEY GALLOWAY OR ROYDELL WILLIAMS WAS PRODUCTIVE?? There is a reason Galloway was cut by two teams last year. He wasnt productive with Tom Brady throwing him the damn ball! Roydell hasn't even played organized football in 3 years!

Thomas's worst attribute was getting drafted in the Zorn Era cuz he spent two years practicing with beach balls, bells and whistles, fun and games, and now we're being run like a professional organization. He's not adjusting well. Clearly, its not for his on-field play cuz up to this point, he doesnt have any :-(

I am totally against this move. Ugh.

I just cannot come to grips with Joey Galloway being better than Thomas but I have to defer to the coaches.

What about this bizarro world where Brandon Lloyd is one of the best receivers in football??

He woke up and started giving a damn about football.

Doc Walker used to say all the time that the players said Lloyd was the best receiver on the team when he was here.

Let's blame Hixon.

[SFREDSKIN]

How about DT for Marshawn Lynch or Fred Jackson now that Portis will be out for a while, before the Eagles beat us to it since McCoy has a broken rib.

Ha! Didn't he throw a helmet or something which freaked out Gibbs. (even though our stupid punter did it twice a year back then...)

[SirClintonPortis]

Coaches have access to more than just stat sheets. Actually, I don't think they bother with stats that much because they can see and evaluate the tangibles right in front of them.

And Thomas has McCardell as his coach now, so whatever he's failing in, it isn't because of coaching.

[TheSmurfs22]

Maybe Michael Westbrook or Rod Gardner are looking for work.HA!

I don't think we need a RB. Torain is going to be good. I wonder if anything more ever came of that Kenny Britt rumor? He has been putting up modest numbers the last two weeks. Tennessee trade reincarnation anyone? Disgruntled WR's straight up? Thomas for Britt? Or Thomas and Haynesworth for Britt and....

Torain has an injury history. We definitely could use another back with experience.

I wouldn't say experience so much as a warm body that knows the system. Torrain. Hopefully Simpson and/or Williams can contribute.

Tatum Bell anyone? I actually would suspect LJ or Parker would return first. Either way I am cautiously excited about more Torain
