| Re: Devin Thomas I thought everyone looked like crap last night, why do we have to single out Devin. The only player that looked good was man-crush Brennan.

defense stars: boschetti, richardson, hamilton, jets PK nugent all these guys stood out the most to me that are fighting for spots. Mason continues to impress me over and over, he deserves to be on this team and be the backup if betts or portis was to go down. Mcmullen is catching my eye over and over this season. I would like to see Brennan behind a better and more consistent line because his time to throw is so limited at times. Mann was very solid and love the way he fought for yac. Boschetti was the big stand out on our back up line. Richardson looked very solid again in man coverage and loved his body slam tackle. Hamilton was huge on a few tackles and this guy is a gamer. love his tackle ability... but coverage??? dont know yet. | |

And Devin looked like a guy who has not practiced alot so we should give him til the end of preseason to evaluate him for this up coming season. | |

| Re: Devin Thomas so far from what i seen, it appears our 2nd and 3rd string O linemen are blocking better than our starters, but then again maybe thats beacuse its preseason and their figthing for a spot on the roster=]

| Re: Devin Thomas He needs more time working with the QB's, if they aren't on the same page they aren't going to go to him. He should have shown up early to camp and in shape, he has alot of making up to do. |

| Re: Devin Thomas And maybe that is because they're going up against 2nd and 3rd string defenders. Speaking of backup O lineman, Chad Rinehart looked really bad last night. I was really disappointed with him. |

| Re: Devin Thomas He's not the savior guys come on. Just remember he isn't going to take us to the Super Bowl. Its the collection of weapons and recievers that will help us get there.

| Re: Devin Thomas I don't think one catch is too much to expect, especially in a preseason game. There are plenty or rookies who've made their presence known so far in the preseason: David Clowney, Desean Jackson, Lavelle Hawkins, Eddie Royal, Josh Morgan, Martin Nance, Dominique Zeigler, Onrea Jones and many more have been able to show up against the practice squad bound defenses they've faced. Devin did not. I'm not going to label him a bust, but you've got to admit that it's disappointing. And I'm sure there's no one more disappointed than DT either. Let's see if he bounces back next week. Some have pointed out that Dwight Lowery was manned up on Devin most the night, and it looks like the Jets have found themselves a quality CB in the fourth round. I wish the same could be said for the Skins CB from the 4th. Last edited by theJBexperience; 08-17-2008 at 06:04 PM. |

| Re: Devin Thomas I want to take this time to let everyone know that patience is a frickin virtue!! Devin Thomas will be in the starting lineup before week 5 of the regular season. Mind you, he has yet to be seen with the first team and in cumbent started JAson Campbell. He has a looooooong time ahead of him. My advice to everyone is to chill out.

| Re: Devin Thomas You guys are hilarious.. Nevermind he practiced this week for the first time in nearly a month.. Nevermind he played his first game since January.. Nevermind he played with 4 different QB last night.. Dammit, we inducted one hall of fame WR 3 weeks ago and we expect Thomas to be the next one immediately!!! If in Week 8 he plays 35-40 snaps a game and still doesn't have one catch, feel free to start asking questions, until then chillax!

| Re: Devin Thomas You beat me to it, Paintrain. People seem to forget he's been hurt for weeks upon weeks. He's getting back into it, he's a rookie WR -- who are typically uneventful for a few years, give the guy some time.

| Re: Devin Thomas I totally understand the he's just getting back from his hammy tweak, he's new to the NFL, it's just preseason, all that. I wasn't asking for him to be ready for a yellow jacket. I just wanted one catch. Man, even B Lloyd's got one catch. In all fairness though, Devin did have a decent return last night, and he showed great effort in snagging that poorly thrown Devine pass that was ruled out of bounds. Hopefully, things come together for him in Carolina next week. I might go now, just to see that. |
