Rskins91 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 This is by no means a thread to call Thomas a bust or say he won't have a future based off one meaningless preseason game, but I'm a bit disappointed that his big highlight was a boneheaded penalty that gave Favre and the Jets great field position. He was only targeted twice (by my count) so he didn't have a ton of opportunities, but twice he came close to catching a pass but just couldn't bring it in. Granted, both were tough catches to make. Anyone else a bit letdown that Thomas didn't show us more of what he could do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedskinDaddy Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Lyf, I know you're kidding. :laugh: DT actually made one grab on the near sideline, just came down out of bounds. I say give the kid some time. Learning curve baby. Rooks take time to adjust, simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tml6157 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Not at all, he had Collins throwing to him which first off, Collins didnt even look to his side of the field for the majority of the time. How can you catch anything if your QB has his head fixed to one side of the field. Second, the 2 times Collins didn throw to him, they were horrible throws and the first one, Thomas has his man beat but Collins has no arm and underthrew him allwoeing for the DB to knock it down. The second pass Thomas hauled it in but Collins threw it too far out of bounds for him to get both feet in. I am ok with how Thomas did for his FIRST game.

Fred Jones Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 A little bit, but he is a rookie and it was his first action. He was not the only one I was disappointed with tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydogg3eb Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I dont know... he did make a fine catch on the sidelines, but it was ruled out of bounds. He also did a good job breaking up that deep ball where it could have been intercepted. He disappeared most of the game, but give the kid some slack before we go writing him off. It was his first game ever in the NFL. Lets see what he has in Week 4 and 5 of preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Nope. Wasn't expecting much so not disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benskins26 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Yeah, he sucks. What a bust! LOL, seriously, give him time. He's behind due to injuries/conditioning. He will get there. In a random side note, he is incredible in Madden 09! I have him playing in the slot and he brings in everything, for huge yardage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkFan8 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Would have liked to see him start instead of Thrash. Im not very confident in TC to make use of his abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhettskinfan Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Zorn was right. the kid is ****y and thinks he could step right in and shine. The coach told us that the rookie wideouts will be WAY behind!! give them some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I'm just glad he saw some field time. Now we just have to get Kelley out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd have to agree with that. Disappointment doesn't just rest with Thomas. Also, a good point on TC throwing to him... would have liked to see JC throwing to him a bit more.

BoRnAndRaiSedSkinsFan Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I would have liked to see him get some good looks. He had 2 bad balls thrown to him. How can you be disappointed with no real chance to make a play. DT is not a concern at all. Our secondary is the only thing that disappointed me tonight.

Soul Swinger Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Rookie receivers always take a long time to develop. That, and the kid's been injured. Give 'im a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rskins91 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Why threads like this exsist are beyond me :doh: Apparently I wasn't clear in my opening post... I am not calling Thomas a bust nor am I saying he is going to do poorly this year based off one game. I was expecting him to get more looks and be implemented more than he was today and I was merely asking if anyone else was disappointed this was not the case. Some people are acting like I said we should cut him or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seantaylor=god Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I may be crazy, but it seemed like whenever he was blocking he was really half hearted. I expected him to be really good blocking downfield b/c of his size and he looked just like moss out there. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califan007 The Constipated Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I wasn't disappointed in him as much as I was disappointed that we didn't seem to make getting him baptized an important enough goal...there should have been more throws his way and more routes that would have guaranteed a reception or two. Sometimes just letting a rookie like him have a few catches can do wonders (the Eagles threw to Desean Jackson all night lol...if it was only a 3 yard pass, it didn't matter)...

Playsmart30 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 That was his first game. What you want him to go out and made 10 catch for 147 wards and 2TD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
