Great blocker on teams, strong tackler, numerous times he's gotten down the field first and helped place a punt deep in the opponent's territory. He does a lot off the little things that go overlooked

I have to agree, he's underrated when it comes to special teams. Overrated when it comes to WR skills (minus his downfield blocking), but definitely like to see him on special teams.
Not sure we have the room to keep at this point, but who knows.

You know I almost think that Thrash gets underrated as a WR. It seems everytime he does get on the field and we need a big play he is the guy catching that 3rd and 15 pass to move the chains.

I also heard on the radio this morning that Thomas could see some playing time against the Jets.

Think Larry Izzo or Steve Tasker. Personally, I think he should have been in the ProBowl one or two times.

When he's not hurt............he can pin the ball inside the 5 yard line on punts. He can tackle very well in the open field. He's a VERY good back up punt returner. When not returning punts he can block very well for those that do.
