I think some people here are forgetting the big picture here. This is a "character" team where coaches require players to earn their way onto the field. It is clear that Zorn wants to get Devin Thomas playing, but he hasn't been working hard enough to earn his way past Thrash. This is a very important lesson for the young, "full of themselves", rookies to learn. When he steps up and earns his way out there more, he will be better for it... and the team will be better because of it.

Thrash took a lickin when he was hit in the back by his own man. You might see DT get some action. The boy could put on a few more lbs. he looks a bit on the scroney side

Devin Thomas has some good receivers to learn from. It's easy to forget that Thomas is a very raw receiver, he only started what, one year at Michigan State? He needs time to develop and I like the way Zorn is handling things. Let's keep getting the ball to Santana and Cooley and let Portis carry us to victory.

Well said.
Include Kelly (if he gets out of the clinic) and Davis with this.
I think we have a class of rookie receivers who may be really good next year but lagging in this year.

hell get his chance, i dont mind James Thrash either, hes got pretty good hands. Devin Thomas needs to find a way to take one of those Slot-Reverses to the house and you bet theyll find a way to get em involved.

I see Thomas on the field plenty. He needs to start winning the trust of JC to earn more looks, simple as that.
Well said Matty, as soon as he earns the trust of the coaches and players he will be in on more offensive touches. He is still raw and learning.
Now as far as Kelly, that guy just needs to get ready to play some football some time this year.

I'm dieing to see DT on the field more often, but he needs to earn it.

I think that Thomas can do AT LEAST what Thrash gives us in the passing game, which is usually a dropped streak pass or a fade run 3 yards out of bounds per game.
