skinzzfan25 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 http://www.mlive.com/spartans/index.ssf/2008/04/spartans_thomas_happy_to_go_to.html "I'm just really excited about the chance to play with the Redskins," Thomas said during a teleconference. "I've got that fighter mentality, and going into the season I'm going to have a chip (on my shoulder) because that's just how I play. "I'm going to work hard to showcase my talents and show a lot of teams why they shouldn't have passed on me." "We're about to have a really dynamic offense, I feel." I like the guy personally, and I think he's going to be a long term answer here in DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenegadeTK Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 thanks for the post... the "chip-on-my-shoulder-mentality" is my favorite thing about him. i feel like he will always be trying to better himself because people doubted him. he seemed real intelligent from the interview i saw of him a couple days ago.... i think it was on Rome. Either way, i cant wait to get this guy in camp and start developing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 i've liked him since i saw an interview on ESPNNEWS a couple weeks ago, seems like a hungry player ready to prove he's a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truant Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 This guy is money. I really thought he was going to Philly in the first. I think he's going to have a special mentality towards them for trading out of the spot and not pulling the trigger on him. He's big, fast, and has attitude. Feels like Xmas for the offense. Can't wait to see all these guys work into the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 He's definitely the player I'm the most excited about. I was stunned when I saw him drop to us, and was ecstatic when he fell to us. Can't wait to see our passing attack in '08! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins:Victory_or_Death Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 This guy has 'BUST' written all over him. ONE season w/ good numbers and people are falling all over him. Add him to Malcom "Oh my knees!" Kelly and a TE we didn't really need and the Redskins Day 1 Draft was a FARCE. I'll gladly cheer for him if he turns into exactly what we needed and proves himself. Until then, it looks to me like this pick is full of 'massive fail'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CounterTrey75 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Exactly my thoughts. That was the same thing I said when we picked him. He's gonna have a huge chip on his shoulder. Hopefully he'll tear it up his first year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemSkinz Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I loved the moves we made today. Hope it all pans out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[ghost]] Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 We added two of this year's bester WRs. Thats a very, very promising ordeal. His quotes were kinda bland, because every rookie says something like "I'm just going to do my best." Which is kind of odd, since Athletes are stereotypically extremely ****y.

Hail Skins and the monster Offense we are gonna have for years to come thanks to the smart drafting we did today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, it looks to me like this pick is full of 'massive fail'. Have you really seen him play? I'm not trying to call you out, just asking a question. Because I've seen a lot of him and I have to say, even though he did only have one good year in college, he was outstanding and was flat out dominant at times. Sometimes guys just don't get the chance to show what they have until later in their college careers. Can't fault them for it. He transferred from CC and usually coaches are hesitant to play those guys their first year playing for a D1 team. There are plenty of successful players in the NFL today that didn't really have outstanding four-year careers. Steve Smith and Chad Johnson come to mind.

Mr. S Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I definitely like this guy. I feel Kelly has that "bust" sign hanging around him. I would have rather wanted Sweed, but the coaches seemed to like Kelly a lot. Thomas though seems to have that ****yness and abilitiy to learn fast. I think overall this team is trying to set up for a long-term future. Moss and Randle El are close to 30, if not already. Cooley is still pretty young, but if Fred Davis turns out to be as good as he was drafted, then that will definitely make Cooley's job much easier. I'm just hoping I can see a corps of Thomas, Kelly, Cooley, and Davis, throwing in Mix, for a long while to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcarey032 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 It should be interesting to see how these two receivers play out. I really like both receivers. I am sure that the TE is decent pick, but to me it seems like a luxury. I would have liked to have seen the DL addressed with that pick. I like the wideout choices and one of them should pan out.
