Redskins may see a familiar face Sunday

By Rick Maese

Reports out of New York suggest Giants receiver Steve Smith won't be able to play this week against Washington, which might increase the chances that the Redskins could see a familiar face this Sunday. The Giants ravaged receiving corps added former Redskin Devin Thomas last week.

Thomas didn't have much time to get acclimated and didn't play in the Giants' win over Jacksonville last Sunday, but he's hoping to see some time this Sunday against his former team.

"He came in late in the week and really didn't have much of a chance to get a whole lot of coach time," coach Tom Coughlin told Giants' reporters this week, according to the Newark Star-Ledger, "so we'll be able to spend a little bit more time with him."

The Giants currently have eight receivers on their roster. Mario Manningham and Derek Hagan likely would start and Michael Clayton should also play ahead of Thomas.

Reporters asked Thomas last Friday if he knew the Giants' Week 13 opponent. According to the Star-Ledger account, "Thomas said he didn't know -- but he wore a suggestive smile on his face at the moment."

"I'll be ready to play," Thomas said, according to the report. "That's for sure."

Thomas, one of Washington's second-round picks in 2008, was released by the Redskins on Oct. 9, after appearing in just four games as a kick returner. Carolina claimed him off waivers, but he appeared in just one game and still hasn't notched a single reception this season. The Panthers released him last week and the Giants claimed him off waivers.

"I just feel like different situations cause that to happen," Thomas said last week. "Things are a little bit unstable in Washington, and it didn't work out quite that well there. In Carolina, they have other issues to worry about other than receivers."

"I'm just thankful to be somewhere that's stable. ...a stable organization, a stable quarterback situation, and so it should be a good opportunity for me to come in and make some plays."

Devin Thomas is the last person on the planet that I'm going to listen to in regards to how "stable" the organization is.

[WhoRUSupposed2Be]

Perhaps he just got us confused with Carolina

This is just bitter talk coming from him.

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

"i got let go from washington because they're unstable" and "i got let go from carolina because they have other problems at receiver" and coming in 2 weeks "i got let go from new york because _______".

or how about you just suck?

[bushwack]

I hope we see Devin this weekend, because that means the Giants are really, really, really hurting at the WR position. Devin is a joke of a WR, and I'd rather see him over Nicks, Smith, or even Manningham.

[Maximus71]

So its everyone else's fault, never take responsiblity Devin!

[Skins4life88]

This dude didn't want to leave but now we are unstable. What's unstable is his production on the field. He's mad that we got rid of him but cut it out DT

[torch7]

Wow, they must be hurting at WR, OR... Does Devin have a copy of our play book?

[authentic]

.....Does Devin have a copy of our play book?

Obviously, it doesn't matter.

[Conn]

Wow, they must be hurting at WR, OR... Does Devin have a copy of our play book?

If he did, he probably wouldn't even know what it looked like

[wrecker]

He will most likely have a breakout game against us.:evilg:

[skins island connection]

This would be the type of game where LL is missed. Post this on Landry's wall, throw in a few tidbits regarding Devin talking about wanting to have sex with LL's monkey, and sit back and watch the show...

[ejay183]

Well if devin Thomas does play, he will recreate his play from the NO game. Yup, its that type of year.

[SlobberKnockinFootball]

sour grapes, who cares.. if he was any good I'm pretty sure Carolina would of gave him an opportunity.

[andboom]

I hope we see him, and shut him down to show him why we didn't want him

[TheGoodBits]

I wish Landry was playing so he could lay him out

[bikie]

Wow, they must be hurting at WR, OR... Does Devin have a copy of our play book?

that would be like the mora interview with vick when they were talking about how vick never studied film, even though mora gave him dvd's to take home daily... mora asked him, "so if I put a check for a million dollars in one of those dvds?" and vick answered it for him, "it would have never been cashed"...

devin thomas knowing our playbook would not be something I'd worry about...

[Champskins]

I hope he does play, it makes me less worried about their banged up receiving corps, hell maybe even Hall could cover him

[Tastes Like Chicken]

Man if Carlos plays he'll be good for at least 2 INT-drops on DT's side of the field. Money!

[Dick Edds]

He will most likely have a breakout game against us.:evilg:

took the words out of my mouth, i would not be surprised one bit. maybe the Gmen will know how to use him.

[Champskins]

You mean we will see this?

Its hard to see his face when he's sleeping

he will be kept warm sleeping on the sidelines by:

and he will be huddling with his boys

[Mr. Sinister]

I doubt he'll make much of an impact, and what he says isn't even relevant to me at this point. He'll be cut as soon as the rest of the Giants receivers get healthy.

[DieHard86]

If Devin Thomas is playing against us, we have a chance. If Devin Thomas has a good game against us, that just means we are completely cursed and helpless against supernatural forces so who cares anyway.

[skull1669]

With the Redskins luck Devon will have 15 catches for 130 yards and 2 touch downs.

[zCommander]

... Does Devin have a copy of our play book?

You have to have brain cells that can retain information first.
