If not in a meaningless pre-season game, when?

Never. That's when.
Devin Thomas in single coverage is not a mismatch right now. It may never be a mismatch. I agree that you want to go vertical with a guy who isn't Moss every now and then, and probably at a 2:1 ratio (Moss to everyone else), but going deep for the sake of going deep is how offenses turn the ball over and get into second and ten situations.
There certainly will be shots taken this year, after a 13 yard completion is probably not the best time to complain.
