[quote=NYCskinfan82;584471]I'm a DT supporter I want all our WR's to do great what i remember is JC saying MK & MM are always staying after practice catching balls from the machine and i never heard DT's name being mentioned.[/quote]

Probably to busy Lamborghini Livin' :D Anyone seeing DT when they go out to the bars?

Re: Jason Campbell Wants Thomas To Step It Up
 

DT was praised in OTAs wasnt he? One thing Zorn said after the Patriots game was that the Kick Returns seemed to help Devin get his head in the game. Maybe because it forces him to focus as the primary guy. In which case I would be all for him returning kicks.

Well a big part of what they wanted Campbell to "step up" was his leadership, his "fire" and ability to speak up when needed.

Re: Jason Campbell Wants Thomas To Step It Up
 

I'm disappointed with DT. All I read about him in the offseason and during OTA's was how he's gotten the playbook down pat and had really improved his work ethic/preparation. Before training camp, I thought Devin would surely win the #2. If he's not careful he may end up the #5.

Re: Jason Campbell Wants Thomas To Step It Up
 

I am sure his lack of focus was one of the reasons he dropped deep in the 2nd round of the draft????

Re: Jason Campbell Wants Thomas To Step It Up
 

Devin Thomas has great speed, but he's only got one gear. That's why he's not an effective route runner. He may be the only guy on the field that needs to slow down.

Santana Moss, on the other hand, knows how to shift gears while running his routes. That's how he was able to catch those two bombs from Brunell against Cowboys. He believes in his speed and knows, if he's even he's leaving. He may start his route running 1/2 or 3/4 speed, then all of a sudden he hits the accelerator and he's gone.

Running pass routes is just like making love. You must have patience, know when to throttle back and when to give it all you got.

Jason Campbell had a 62.3% accuracy percentage last season that was better than all the other quarterbacks in the NFC East. His accuracy is not what he needs to work on, he needs to work on going through his reads and taking more risks.

Campbell taking charge, very nice.[/quote]

This team can do without Thomas, IMO. Santana 1, Kelly 2, ARE 3, Marko 4, DT 5. He's irrelevent and has been woefully unimpressive. The other night he was jumping up in the air to catch balls throw at his head. He's weak and doesn't make the team any better.

Yeah that 62.3% comes from check downs mostly. Half of Santana's passes were screens or 4 yard hitches. When he gets that percentage while attacking the defenses then I will leave him alone. The kid needs to work on his accuracy along with his reads as well. Don't come at me like he's a very accurate quarterback of which he is not.

Re: Jason Campbell Wants Thomas To Step It Up
 

Do we really need to turn this into another JC hating thread?

Re: Jason Campbell Wants Thomas To Step It Up
 

Let's see. How many threads do we have on JC hating? Do they out number the Colt threads? If not, then, obviously, more JC hating threads are required.

JC has been a fairly accurate passer going all the way back to Auburn, when he completed nearly 70% of his passes as a junior.

Please update your understanding of Campbell's skills.

Re: Jason Campbell Wants Thomas To Step It Up
 

No need to update my understanding of Campbell's skills because Im only stating what I have seen from him on a week to week basis. I have watched plenty of Campbell's games throughout his career with us and he does not have the accuracy on the short to intermediate passes let alone the deep passes. How many times have we seen him throw high to Moss on a 5-yard curl route or a slant route. His screen passes are even worse. Why is it that we call a screen pass to our receivers or backs only to see the ball go up high and our receivers not having enough time to gather themselves to move forward. He needs to work on his accuracy asap.

And you don't see the self-contradiction in you logic? I have seen him complete many difficult passes. 62% is 62% no matter how you cut it.
