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.
