    Shanny wants to bring the new dude they just picked up in Chris Simpson..another RB, and can play special teams...Seems like DT might be the odd man out

      Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

      Why is this thread always dead after a W?

      Its nice to see the running game back, but it would be even better if we could see a good running game and a good passing game in a couple of the same games? Where did Armstrong come from? Liked the punt return and that long catch, but he needs to stay on his feet.

      I know the Iggles got some holding penalties, but the Redskins still need to get more pressure on the QB. I didn't like seeing Kolb running for first downs. It was nice to see Kareem play, secondary didn't look too bad.

        I really like what I was seeing from the D to start the game vs Vick. I know we wouldnt have held him all game but it looked like we were going to have a decent day slowing him down. Not really sure how I feel overall about the D. I like the switch to the 3-4 but couldnt we have at least waited a season to start picking up guys that fit the scheme? I still get a kick seeing Lorenzo Alexander running around as a LB. Hasnt that guy played OL, DL, and LB for us? Not many guys in the league who have played all those postitions.

          AND....Devin Thomas is officially on the trading block

          http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/...in-Thomas.html



          Observers in Washington have been waiting to see if the Redskins will find a way to trade defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth before the NFL’s deadline which is approaching on Oct. 19.

          Whether anything is brewing for Haynesworth is not known, but the National Football Post has learned the Redskins are actively working to trade another underachiever. A league source said that the Redskins have been shopping seldom-used wide receiver Devin Thomas.

          A second-round pick from Michigan State in 2008, Thomas has been relegated primarily to special teams duty through the team’s first four games. He can’t catch a break to get on the field on offense, and the Redskins have been looking around at what is out there, bringing in free agents Keenan Burton and Demetrius Williams for workouts just last week.

          It’s not known what kind of price tag the Redskins have placed on Thomas, but Washington is the team placing calls when it comes to him, the source said.

          Like the injured Malcolm Kelly, another second-round pick from the ’08 draft, Thomas has been a major disappointment. In his first two seasons, he caught 40 passes for 445 yards with three touchdowns. He started 10 games in 2009 and had 25 catches for 325 yards. Sources have said that Thomas’ work ethic is questionable and his hands are iffy.

          As a senior for the Spartans, Thomas emerged out of nowhere to become a top prospect in 2007 when he had 79 receptions for 1,260 yards and eight touchdowns. Touted as a first-round prospect, teams had concerns. Thomas was a junior college transfer and the fear was he was a one-year wonder. Some questioned his football character and he dropped into the second round where the Redskins now wish they’d gone a different route.

          It will be interesting to see if they can find a taker

            good riddance. they aren't trying to lose games, if he could help them win he would be in there getting a chance to make plays. they can play simpson at kr and on other teams so it would be nice to get a pick for devin. i'd look into signing clowney from the jets, ok size and seems to get deep....

              Sucks for him as he was never really given a chance to even play any Offense nor have the Coaching Staff said why he wasn't be given a chance.

                Damn I thought the lights went on for him after the New Orleans game last year. It insane that they would give the ball to Banks twice in the redzone sunday, but Devin can't crack the WR depth chart. Too bad for me. I bought a Devin Thomas authentic to replace my Campbell one. Looks like im gonna need a new players jersey to wear...*sigh*

                  Yeah, like you I thought this was going to be Devin Thomas break out year. especially from what he did in that New Orleans game and the Denver game. Has the right size that Shanny likes.

                  We still haven't gotten why he's not playing though. I knows hes better then Joey Galloway and Roydell Williams, or maybe he's not. Devin had to sleep with Shanny wife or something. You have to give dude a shot, and see what he can do.

                  Like you said.. banks just came from the practice squad and we gave him a pitch and a screen pass down there in the redzone. So I don't know. hate to see him to. because I think he can be a good player.

                    Damn Devin. Of course he'll go some where else and become a star. Though he was going to break out this year. Now he's just out. That's two second round picks wasted.

                        You just need to stop buying jerseys you damn jinx, lol.

                        Apparently he's not as good as we thought. I won't pretend to know more than the coaching staff. My guess (and heard slight rumors) is he's having trouble picking up the offense and has a bad work ethic. Maybe a change of scenery is what he needs.

                        It'd be interesting if they pick up D. Williams, the former 2nd round pick from the Ravens who seems to be in the same situation. I hope both of them get a chance somewhere.

                          williams is a burner, wouldn't mind seeing him get a shot. from what i have heard, he can't be "trusted" to run the correct plays. apparently in the offense if he isn't in the right place at the right time it could lead to a disaster so that is why he can't get on the field?

                            His MAIN problem has been staying healthy. Then this year he looked like he got caught in the numbers game. I'm not really sure about anything else but he's still sitting out there (unlike Clayton) so there's probably more to it. If it's about running the right plays then Shanny won't sign him.

                              Yeah, he up in videos with Fantashia instead of being at home studing his playbook..

                              what I don't get is..he went to AZ with Mcnabb, and he was working on routes with Ocho..Devin has really let me down.
