Devin Thomas

[SkinsFanSince91]

No one on WP has patience anymore. I'd hate to see what any of your stock portfolios looks like.

He will not be cut, so just be patient and let him develop into the player tha twe drafted.

[mitch e]

He needs more time working with the QB's, if they aren't on the same page they aren't going to go to him. He should have shown up early to camp and in shape, he has alot of making up to do.

I thought everyone looked like crap last night, why do we have to single out Devin. The only player that looked good was man-crush Brennan.

offense stars: rock, mason, mcmullen, brennan, mann

defense stars: boschetti, richardson, hamilton, jets PK nugent

all these guys stood out the most to me that are fighting for spots. Mason continues to impress me over and over, he deserves to be on this team and be the backup if betts or portis was to go down. Mcmullen is catching my eye over and over this season. I would like to see Brennan behind a better and more consistent line because his time to throw is so limited at times. Mann was very solid and love the way he fought for yac. Boschetti was the big stand out on our back up line. Richardson looked very solid again in man coverage and loved his body slam tackle. Hamilton was huge on a few tackles and this guy is a gamer. love his tackle ability... but coverage??? dont know yet.

Don't forget the OL, both starters and backups. 3 games in a row the team has rushed for over a 100 yards.

slow down buddy, there were some positives in the o'line, but to many negatives especially rhinehart this game at LT. mid game we almost lost our back up qb, and devine and colt had very little time to throw. and if you noticed, i didnt mention any starters... this was an evaluation of guys trying to make the cut. run blocking was good, but pass blocking was very unimpressive especially in the 3rd and 4th qtr.

And Devin looked like a guy who has not practiced alot so we should give him til the end of preseason to evaluate him for this up coming season.

The majority of the backups are rookies and in my opinion are doing a great job in run blocking, pass blocking hasn't been too bad either. I know there were breakdowns, remember most of these guys are rookies, Clark, Rhinehart, Crummney.

I agree! The other player that looked good and has continued to do so was mason...he is developing nicely! Colt will by next year be the back-up QB! I think his upside is tremendous.

The team did not perform that well against the Jets and will need to work more in the preseason.

Devin looked like the game was passing him by...as most rookie WR get introduced to the NFL. The game will slow down and he will get faster...the real question is how long will it take?

[bertoskins2]

give him a chance to develop.

Man-crush Brennan played against the scrubs on Saturday...which he did so too against the Colts, so I wouldn't put much into this. I think anyone who either thinks Thomas is a bust or is just straight up complaining about them, needs to remember what people were saying before the draft that rookie WRs don't contribute right away. If the team wanted a wideout to contribute right away, then we would have wanted a veteran.

so far from what i seen, it appears our 2nd and 3rd string O linemen are blocking better than our starters, but then again maybe thats beacuse its preseason and their figthing for a spot on the roster=]

And maybe that is because they're going up against 2nd and 3rd string defenders. Speaking of backup O lineman, Chad Rinehart looked really bad last night. I was really disappointed with him.

I don't think one catch is too much to expect, especially in a preseason game.

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!!

[Paintrain]

You guys are hilarious.. Nevermind he practiced this week for the first time in nearly a month.. Nevermind he played his first game since January.. Nevermind he played with 4 different QB last night.. Dammit, we inducted one hall of fame WR 3 weeks ago and we expect Thomas to be the next one immediately!!!

If in Week 8 he plays 35-40 snaps a game and still doesn't have one catch, feel free to start asking questions, until then chillax!
