Broohaha Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Whenever I see him involved in a play, he's falling all over himself, hestitating, responding too slowly. I am rooting for him to do well for us but right now he looks totally lost and unable to figure out how to looks like a credible NFL player. watching him play makes me so grateful we got an utter steal out of chris horton. now THAT is a rookie player that you can tell BELONGS on the field. :notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakinaiken Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 devin doesn't seem to be living up to his measurables... he supossedly ran a 4.4 at the combine... looks pretty slow to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 What's easier? "Go get the QB!" or.... "Go get open on this route, while your QB has no time, and you're up against the #1 defense in the league". ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinkz Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Moronic thread, Other than the Moss put return TD he doesn't seem to be falling over himself. I dont know how much hesitation there can be on the only two routes that he runs, button hook and fly route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truant Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I didn't see too much of that tonight. He's getting acclimated to the offense and he seems to be playing faster than earlier in the season. It's easy to pick on the rookie after that performance by the entire offense. I'd be more annoyed with guys like El, Thrash, and Yoder who are expected to produce when called upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawBBQSauce Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm reserving judgement here. The kid is an explosive player. I just don't think JC is looking for him that much. Devin still has plenty of time to show me what he can do. Definitely not writing him off yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGibbsRypenGClark91 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Gibbs was just a better personel man then Vinny. Cadwell and Mcardell were better vet WRs then the crap we have now. Now we have guys who don't understand the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskin faithful Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Come on now atleast give him a full season to learn the offense. A west coast offense takes time to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Devin was drafted because of his potential, not from what he can do now. He's a guy that the scouting reports said that he was a bit raw and needed to work on his route running. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from him this year, and I've gotten what I've expected.

Taylorfan2179 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 What's easier?"Go get the QB!" or.... "Go get open on this route, while your QB has no time, and you're up against the #1 defense in the league". ? Very true. To the dude who said he is slow, see some special teams footage, your out of your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunClintonRun26 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 We need to relax with these sweeping generalizations that are totally off . . . EVERYONE looked bad tonight. It happens in football. I personally think that he should be on the field MORE . . . and when he is on the field, actually use him. It seems that for the most part, he is on the field during running plays. Why not send him on some routes? He is an explosive player who tries his hardest to make something happen after every catch. He'll be fine. And hopefully Kelly's knee will be fine after the bye. Until then, let's really try to hold judgment on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devin111 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 JC never looks at DT when he is on the field. JC needs to find other targets then Moss. DT belongs on the field it just up to JC and Zorn to trust him and to let DT know that they trust him and you will see a better DT on the field.

westcoasthog Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 These threads are so useless. Half the people cry that DT is too slow, doesn't know the routs...blah blah blah...and the other half points out how he was ALWAYS going to be a project because he didn't even play that much in college and because it usually takes WRs a while to develop. I don't understand why we need to have the same discussions about DT and Fred Davis EVERY GD WEEK!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowens85 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'd rather have Devin Thomas on the field than James Thrash. You got to give Dt and MK some time to get to know this type of offense. They are the type of guys we need (tall, fast, good hands) so we can take pressure off of Moss, Cooley, and Portis. I feel like once MK gets healthier he will start to produce. Hopefully he will come through for us towards the last 4 games of the season. I don't expect DT to get in a rythem until next season. Right now we have some young guys in key positions. We just need to be patient and give them some time. The good thing is we have veterans with good character that can guide them in the right direction. Now lets enjoy the week off :cheers:and get ready for Dallas. :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
