I see Thomas on the field plenty. He needs to start winning the trust of JC to earn more looks, simple as that.

Once he stops making mistakes then he can be #3. He needs to learn from a true pro like Thrash for a little longer. The future looks bright for DT.

The D stays honest currently because of Santana. This is the reason the CP is leading the league in rushing yards.I would like to see Thomas play to keep defenses from completely overcommitting to defend Santana. Thomas is our only other WR with game breaking speed.

I've got an idea, Move DT to kick returner, and move Rock to punt returner. That would get him on the field and possibly jump start our punt return game.

I would like to see JZ call a couple 4 WR sets in obvious running situations and take a couple shots downfield just to keep the D honest.

Um... you must be a big Collins fan. Do you like seeing JC on his back picking grass out of his mouth? This didn't go so great last week.

Our line is having a hard enough time with the pass protection. Now you want to be down a man?

Thomas will develop. He'll get more touches as the season goes. Give it time.

So far he doesn't deserve to be the #3. But I'd like to see him get some more balls thrown his way too.

First off, I just want to start by saying this is my first thread so take it easy on me. Ok, so is it just me or should Devin Thomas be the third wideout? I believe that this stretch of games would be perfect for the kid to get some pt. Thrash is good, dependable old, just like your favorite tee-shirt. Great to lounge around the house in, but it's not gonna win you style points with the ladies. With this claim I'm saying that we know what we're getting from Thrash, at this point in his career it's not much. Thomas should be allowed to learn under fire if you will he is clearly more athletic and faster than Thrash let him prove himself. If he fails it keeps old man Thrash fresh for later in the season and at least we know for sure he's not ready. I get a bit envious watching other rooks play well, just give the kid a chance. Thanks for listening everyone.

Have we been watching the same two players?

Devin Thomas has actually hurt the team with his mistakes. You don't just throw a rookie in above a veteran who knows what he is doing because of 'style points.'

It's true that Thrash doesn't have the athleticism that Thomas does at this point in his career but that is really irrelevant considering the other contributions he makes. The guy has been consistently one of our most solid and professional players.

Thrash has earned the third wide receiver position. He runs precise routes and makes the tough catch. On the other hand, Thomas route running needs work and he has yet to master utilizing his body without drawing penalties. The four wide receiver set has been disastrous for the Skins. The Skins struggle to protect the quarterback in the four wide receiver set. Jansen and Samuels have been beat on the four wide set.

Thank you!

Someone else who is watching the same Samuels I have been watching.

Thrash... Thomas... who cares?

That being said, I'd rather see Thomas make the catches over James. Split the time and get DT some action in a game. Let him make his mistakes and learn.

If we lose because of something Thomas does, we don't deserve to win the game anyway.
