Chris Thompson inks 2 year extension

I have always felt that if he got enough touches, he could give us Devonta Freeman type production, I don't think he would run between the tackles the same way but I think he could give us 1500 yards from scrimmage easy and about 10-12 TDs.

One of my favorite players

second this...I worry about the wear and tear but dang it...this year would be perfect to at least get more touches our of the backfield just to see how his body responds.

Well deserved. Thompson should be on the field more.

I like his current status more. With his injury concerns it should be about maximizing his touches, not trying to make him the workhorse back. I think the current system works because teams forget about him through the game and it allows him to make clutch plays in the 4th. D.Jax and Garcon were great at taking the most coverage, now that they are gone if Pryor/Doctson don't step up we will see more coverage shifted to Crowder/Thompson. I'm not sold on Pryor or Doctson yet so I bet early on we will see Crowder/Thompson get the most coverage until Pryor/Doctson prove themselves.

Keim brought it up today with doctson...might not start and Ryan grant could be the 3rd wr this weekend.

Devonta Freeman is 209 pounds at 5'9". Thompson is 5'8" and 191. He would get injured very quickly if we tried to use him like Freeman. That statement shows an alarming lack of knowledge of NFL football and the rigors that accompany that kind of workload.

The appropriate comparison is Darren Sproles.

good team player. makes plays, and does what is ask of him. also, never a complaint

C'mon, man. I don't disagree with you, but you really didn't need the last sentence of the first paragraph, did you? We're all Redskins fans here.

Love this guy...he's solid, yet humble.
