Re: Redskins release Devin Thomas
this makes no sense. At least keep him in as a productive kick returner until he matures. What exactly do the skins gain by releasing him? A roster spot for a scrub running back?

Re: Redskins release Devin Thomas
Sigh, I've been saying this since day one. There's no way Shannahan would retain him on the roster.

Re: Redskins release Devin Thomas
This is very interesting. I guess Shanny just thought that DT would never 'get it' and decided if we were going to have a return specialist he would rather have Banks. If DT couldn't get snaps on the current receiving corps, then he was never going to. Amazing how a guy that could be so physically gifted could not make any strides on the field anywhere else. Oh well, maybe this was always apart of Shanny's master plan.

Re: Redskins release Devin Thomas
Yeah it just makes no sense to me. I don't care how we keep spinning the spin coming out of Redskins Park, ultimately Shanny is here to coach and put this roster in the best position to win games, not enforce personal vendattas. Is --excuse me, was-- Devin Thomas the first guy in the NFL to not give a 100% during practice? What was he doing that warranted being released so abrubtly, reading Playboy and eating a ham sandwich on the sidelines? I dunno, man.
As I said before, I believe with all my heart Mike Shanahan is a competent NFL head coach, I'm just not sure his methods are always in the best interest of this team. If anyone thinks Devin Thomas is done in the NFL you're crazy. |

Re: Redskins release Devin Thomas
He's just a Darnarien McCants redux. Yeah, he'll hang around on some team depth chart and flash some stuff but never be consistent. In two years, he's out of the leauge. Three max.
There! I have just assured him a HOF career.

Re: Redskins release Devin Thomas
Remember now it is just year one for Shanahan. It wasn't his regime that deemed Thomas a 2nd rounder or a competent NFL WR. It is just very curious that a team that has struggled so much wideout would cut perhaps there best size/speed combo at the position. I was as psyched as anyone reading about the scouting reports about Thomas after the 08' draft, lets remember that Shanny took some less touted receivers in Rod Smith and Ed Mcaffrey to help build his offense in Denver. Then later was able to pick out Brandon Marshall. This guy has experience and knows what he's doing. If he doesn't think Thomas is the answer for the Skins I am inclined to believe him until he proves otherwise.

I really feel Shanahan does not want to waste time with players that are not his type of player. Shanahan is trying to clear out the players that do not meet his standards. It is not some kind conspiracy or desire to get rid of all Ceratto players. Look at the benching and eventual release of Derrick Dockery. His days as a Redskin are numbered. Dockery is the opposite of the type of O-lineman Shanhan likes to have. Dockery is slow on his feet and not the brightest. Last edited by Defensewins; 10-09-2010 at 10:02 PM. |
