Re: Redskins release Devin Thomas

Can't really argue w/ the decision. Shanny and Co clearly showed us they'll put the best player on the field. Thomas was a dud

Re: Redskins release Devin Thomas

Listening to Devin Thomas and Lavar on the Fan right now.

DT said he had problems catching balls consistenly in practice and "things like that."
" " said he's really confused how got burried on the depth chart.
" " said he came in with the right attitude from the get go. Said he bulked up and put on some upper body weight. Then the team wanted him to get his weight down, he was too bulky. Said he dropped the weight, stopped lifting as often, and did what he did. But said they still seemed unhappy with him.
" " went to AZ and worked hard with McNabb; Said he came in in great shape.
" " said he knows the scheme, has the mentality. His teammates always tell him they want him on the field.

LaVar is asking is Shanny like that with everyone or does he feel singled out? DT dodging the question.

Um....doesn't the first line kind of answer the second line?

Re: Redskins release Devin Thomas

As far as him being a party boy, well, without going into details most of these guys party pretty hard. A few I've seen out the night before a game. I don't think it's any different here than it is around the rest of the league though.

Re: Redskins release Devin Thomas

Shanahan said in his presser... DT just wasn't committed enough.

On a side note I don't think cutting DT had any effect on the team or the game. Hmmm, interesting.

that is a load of horse s, this isn't pop warner, the reason these guys make it to the nfl is because they are talented. if every team took the hardest workers then it would be called the ufl.

we will see what happenes and it's not that i'm ticked we released him it is the fact that there is no explanation, and from all accounts it seems to be personal, that doesn't sit right with me

and if anyone thinks devin thomas is the only player to fall asleep in a meeting you are kidding yourself

Yeah! Shanahan saying he was cut because he wasn't professional enough in his approach to the game isn't an explanation. Clearly he hates NFL players who have been in Fantasia music videos, first he cut Larry Johnson and now Devin Thomas. The evidence is right in front of our eyes!
