Redskins' Thomas bounces back up

The Washington Times (Free subscription) | 11/07/2009

Devin Thomas sometimes refers to himself as the "golden child," but the receiver has been anything but golden since the Washington Redskins chose him in the second round of last year's draft. Thomas reported to training camp out of shape last season, missed 18 days with a pulled hamstring and wound up catching just 15 passes for 120 yards and no touchdowns. While Thomas...

Santana Moss Does Not Recall His Nap On The Georgia Dome Turf; Marko Mitchell Does

Redskins Blog (Free subscription) | yesterday

With just under eight minutes remaining in the game and the Falcons leading by two touchdowns, the Redskins lined up Devin Thomas to one side, and Fred Davis, Santana Moss , and Malcolm Kelly to the other. Todd Collins , in at quarterback for Jason Campbell during Campbell's second injury of the game, dropped back and -- despite a blitzing linebacker coming unblocked in his face -- put...

... in limited action. He caught two passes for 22 yards. A quick glance at the stats reveals that Devin Thomas caught nothing and Malcolm Kelly had 1 catch for a whopping 4 yards. Now that team management has gotten over the mental hurdle of having Marko Mitchell in the game on Sunday, let’s move to the next step: Start Marko Mitchell. Thomas and Kelly have had their chances to...

... — Fred Davis dropped a pass that turned into a pick-six, Santana Moss dropped three passes and Devin Thomas dropped another. The defense — Atlanta got what it wanted to get to 24-3, offense came back to get to 24-17 and then the defense allowed an insta-TD. Game over. LaRon Landry — More of the same: missed tackles, poor angles, late hits. DeAngelo Hall — Talks like a bitch, tackles...

Marko Mitchell finally free?

... besides weak offensive line protection, has been the failure of either 2008 second round pick, Devin Thomas or Malcolm Kelly, to step up into a significant role opposite Santana Moss. That allows teams to focus solely on stopping Clinton Portis and doubling up Moss. That virtually shuts down the rest of the Redskins offense. The failure of a secondary receiving threat has dogged the...

Green Bay followed with Jordy Nelson , Buffalo took James Hardy and Denver went for Eddie Royal .

... wasn't even a particularly good attempt; it almost looked like he was stiff-arming the ball away. Devin Thomas had his routes corrected a couple times and also had a couple balls bounce off his hands deep. Albert Haynesworth managed to overturn a tackling dummy hard enough that it threw off the plates that weigh it down; it took three people to pick up the plates one at a time to...

... that find themselves at a potential crossroads; the big three from last year -- Fred Davis , Devin Thomas , and Malcolm Kelly -- also need to represent in Atlanta. Davis cancelled his planned bye week vacation to stick around and work on his blocking with tight ends coach Scott Wachenheim, just as he'd said he would after Chris Cooley 's injury. Which is a very good thing, because...

... the seventh wide receiver to come off the board. Picked ahead of DeSean Jackson? Donnie Avery, Devin Thomas, Jordy Nelson, James Hardy, Eddie Royal and Jerome Simpson.The Eagles thought then they had themselves a steal. They were right. Jackson not only is one of the most dangerous receivers in the game, he's the most dangerous player, period, on the Eagles roster. He can catch. He...

... open every play. BUT, we do expect them to be open once in awhile. Apparently if Malcolm Kelly or Devin Thomas do indeed get open, then you seemingly indict yourself for failing to get them the ball. But, from what I have seen on the little camera angles I get, I won’t lay that at your spikes. Kelly and Thomas aren’t getting open. Why? Because they stink right now. There, I...
