RUMOR: Skins Want To Deal Devin Thomas

Skinny Tee · 10-04-2010, 12:56 PM

I personally don't like DT's atheltism. He runs straight lines like Forrest Gump and his lateral agility is pretty poor.

The guy may be fast but only in straight lines. You force this guy to shift directions and he starts to show his lack of atheltism.

Trade this guy for a pair of shoelaces and call it a day.

I understanad your frustration but, never devalue your own. They'll need as many picks as they can get next year.

If we're initializing all the trade talk what leverage are we bringing into the negotations?

Shanny knows he has a guy that is just not going to crack the roster no matter the opportunity granted.

He's a dead roster spot if he can't touch the field with less than elite talent ahead of him.

Putting a player on the block doesn't mean he's not valuable. Heck, cutting a player doesn't either.

After seeing what he did late last season, I find it hard to believe that he can't surpass AA & Galloway to at least get a screen or two thrown his way. I'm not saying the guy is all that, it just looks like it is attitude related & Shanny is making an example out of him.

If the coaches are really changing the culture of the team, maybe the approach towards Haynesworth & DT will have a valuable long-term impact. Seems both are better than some of the guys playing ahead of them.

diehard · 10-04-2010, 01:01 PM

At this point, it makes sense. Thomas may light it up somewhere else. That's how the cookie crumbles but, a former 2nd round pick contributing only on special teams is essentially a waste. Let's hope for at least a 5th rounder. I'd be ok with that.

redsk1 · 10-04-2010, 01:05 PM

He looks pretty good on returns, but yes, if he's only doing that, then if we can get something for him I'll trust management on this one.

To the non trained football eye DT just looks like a good football player. I guess if Mike S is having a hard time w/ him maybe we can get something in return. And, yes we need draft picks. Preferably good draft picks.

my guess if they are going to deal him, Carolina may take a look. They aren't really sure how long Steve Smith will be out and they really have no one else worth a damn.. But i wouldn't expect much in return from them. They are notoriously cheap

Carolina's getting ready to have a fire sale of their own. DeAngelo Williams and Steve Smith have been rumored to already be on the trade block. Plus with their own collection of 2nd and 3rd round disapointments at reciever I doubt they trade for ours (read: Keary Colbert and Dwayne Jarret).

If you trade him you probably bring TA up from the PS, and may get better production. I don't care about where we got him. If he cant get on the field we don not need him. IF KS and MS thought he could contribute on offense he would be out there guys.

One things for sure. The Shanahan's love speed.

Eh, true, still doesn't change the fact that Armstrong can flat out fly.

Excellent question Quake. And the answer is simple. I'm awesome.

aceinthehouse · 10-04-2010, 01:13 PM

Devin Thomas for Richard Seymour...

lol
j/k

How about Devin Thomas for Jason Campbell....
C'mon guys...he can really be a great QB
He just needs a few more years of development and he will be a Hall of famer...

I'm sorry...I had too..lol

You might as well chalk Heyward-Bey up there. That'll get the pessimists excited about direction this team is headed...

FRPLG · 10-04-2010, 01:16 PM

What the hell does the guy do or not do that doesn't even give a chance to get on the field in front of someone like Banks? Baffled. No way in hell he runs routes in as limited a fashion as a guy like Banks does. No way.

diehardskin2982 · 10-04-2010, 01:16 PM

I feel this is a questionable move. We need to atleast see what he can do during the games on offense.
