D. Thomas 1 for 21

And it was the best 21 yards gotten on a kick return ever! He showed us.

You know, I still can't figure out why DT said what he said. Was he just trying to be funny? I don't know. Because I've heard him say many times over the past year (both on and off record) that he's grateful to Shanahan for giving him the reality check he needed that pure talent wasn't going to get you far in the NFL if you don't put the work in as well.

Yeah. But did you see him in that game against New Orleans in 2009? He was soooo awesome!

I've said it before, but one career highlight does not make a high round draft pick choice worth.

I will admit at the time though I thought DT was actually breaking out, and was going to finally prove he was worth a 2nd rounder. Instead, all we got was news of his disappointing work ethic holding him back.

I think that's a kind of joke that falls flat when someone has paid you a fortune to not produce. In football, you don't shoot off your mouth. PERIOD. If Mr. Thomas finds himself unemployed, will the redskins call, now? Even if we need help?

You just don't badmouth a former employer.....it's too small of a world for it to not come back and bite you.

Let Thomas keep talking. It's just more bulletin board material for the 'skins.

I have a feeling the Redskins aren't posting Devin Thomas comments inside the locker room.

That's if the bulletin board is for the super happy funny stuff.

But that would ruin his modeling and acting career! Priorities man, priorities.

Well im not sure if Devin felt secure after he played and lost to us in week one, but if he did his security may have been short lived:

Also i wanted to ask this in the Fat Albert thread but it got closed; When a player is released and must clear waivers is he allowed speak to potential suiters during that time, or is that tampering of some sorts?
