Right after saying that I think about Desean and how people say he's not the sharpest tool in the shed (but he gets open regularly). Maybe Zorn and Co need to communicate very high demands of Thomas and he'll just figure out how to deliver. I dunno.
I honestly think he was a little overwhelmed this year with the whole transition thing. Some guys go to a new city and can handle all the everyday things and concentrate on football. From an interview I read it sounded like he even had trouble with the things outside of football that come with being on your own in a new place. He really didn't have that much experience in college. I think he has enough talent, he may just take a little longer than some of the other guys. I agree they should get him involved however they can. He didn't touch the ball much this year but he scored twice when he did, though one was called back on that BS penalty on Heyer.
