The kid has a huge upside. He is the Redskins version of DeSean Jackson or Percy Harvin, just not as explosive...yet. His picture should replace the one of Landry in the Warpath banner on the top of the page.
Zinger!

I hope he continues this effort so we can trade Kelly at the end of the year.
Why wouldn't you rather see both Thomas and Kelly develop?

In addition to being a bigger part of the pass game I feel like I always see him trying to make down field blocks when someone else has the ball, which is huge! Glad to see him contributing.

I feel like Zorn's passing game plans always had Moss and Cooley as the first two options. Campbell was usually getting hit early in the season before he could get to his third progression on any given play. This to me is a big reason why first Kelly, then Thomas didn't start to contribute until after Cooley went out. Since Sherman Lewis arrived, Campbell seems to be spreading the ball much better. It's clear now that Thomas had the ability to do this, but until recently, he was lucky to get one ball thrown his way per game.

He saved a TD in coverage on a punt return today too, and his KO returns look solid. He's a jack of all trades right now, and playing very well. If he does materialize as our #1 by the start of next year, I won't want him returning kickoffs.

Nice to see Thomas play a solid game. I hope this is a preview of things to come!
He does some nice stuff after the catch too.

Im very encouraged by this, but am taking this with a grain of salt considering the saints top 3 corners were out, and thomas probably had the 5th or 6th cover DB on him most of the time

Like I said, all our 2nd rounders are now producing as they should, now let's rebuild the OL and next year we'll in the hunt and beyond. Just wait till Mitchell starts to produce, then that will be scary.

Lewis should take a quick peek at Wisehunt's playbook; he needs to move Thomas around more, just like Wisehunt does with Anquan Boldin.. Thomas would flourish much more..
On other hand, Thomas had his best game today! He definitely helped Redskins to stay competitive against Saints..
