Devin "Showtime" Thomas hahahaha yep he has been some Showtime alright with all those great pass interferences

Re: Devin Thomas Blog
 

I don't have high hopes for Thomas per se, just reasonable expectations. Become a starting wr & show some consistency & the 2nd round pick will be worth it. Sure I hope he becomes a star. There are a no. of young recievers in the nfl looking to take over the aging stars, Moss, Holt, & TO. I hope Thomas is one of the next star wr's of the nfl, but I'd be happy if he & Kelly can become solid starters & neither is a "star" kind of like NE's recievers when they won the 3 super bowls.

He's saying all the right things. It's a good blog, but he's obviously no Darnerian "I wanna play coach" McCants.

God forbid we have some optimism. After all now is the time, before the reality of the season kicks in.

Same to you buddy...

Re: Devin Thomas Blog
 

Per D. Thomas...i mean it's very tempting to have high expectations. The stuff he did in college (albeit one year) was pretty impressive and my word that kind of talent doesn't just evaporate right? He also sounds motivated, maybe not for the best reasons, but motivated nonetheless. My worry, and I believe it is the biggest roadblock to our offense, is the simple fact our team hasn't developed a star WR in ages. Our position coach hasn't developed a WR during his entire NFL career. My gut is this Thomas/Kelly experiment is largely on the two players and to a lesser degree JC/Zorn. I will say if either young WR makes great strides this season you will hear me sing his/their praises to no end :)

It will be a hugely positive event if Devin Thomas plays the way a second round draft pick is expected to play. Please drop any expectations that he is another Calvin Johnson. That would be a gift from the football gods were it to materialize.

One cautionary note, however:
[INDENT]Talk is cheap. He had a full year in 2008 to show his talents and his desire - - and he didn't do it. Now he is talking a good game. What matters is that he takes all that "talk" and translates it to the practice field such that the coaches believe that they can depend on him sufficiently to have him on the field for 75% of the offensive snaps when the games count.[/INDENT]
Anyone who can type can start a blog and say all the right things. Not everyone can take it to the field in the NFL... Recall that Brandon Lloyd said lots of positive "stuff" in his offseason here and it didn't amount to a pinch of pigeon poop once the real games started!

Re: Devin Thomas Blog
 

I see no reason why DT would'nt step up this year. He obviously has some skills and looks to understand the importance of building a relationship with his QB. A lot of receivers spend their first year getting acclimated to the NFL. Will he step up? Well I'm no ventriloquist but all signs seem to point that way.
