A ONESIE DEVIN!?!?!?!? REALLY!?!?!?!?

I STILL do not understand why I am spending valuable life talking about such a non factor, but a conversation with a very ………… confused Devin Thomas supporter got me fired up about bringing to light why I believe Devin Thomas should give up football and go live in the Playboy mansion or something. By no means did I ever say that Devin could not play the game…he is a professional; not a very good one; but a professional athlete. My point is given the OPPORTUNITIES he had, Devin did not take advantage of them sufficiently enough to keep his job in Washington or Carolina. I have a few reasons why I think so…BUCKLE UP!!

1. Google search: Devin Thomas…click on images…If I didnt know who he was and someone asked me who do I think he is? I’d say,”He’s a model dude that probably has the same name as or related to a football player.” Looks as if he took advantage of EVERY modeling OPPORTUNITY he got. Maybe thats why he couldn’t focus on running routes well enough to get open. Maybe thats why when the Skins drafted a WR in the 2nd round in DESPERATE need for a #2 option he could only salvage 15 catches for 120 yards? Maybe thats why he couldnt realize that he was letting his BURGUNDY & GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY slip away? Here’s a few facts…If you are a good WR, you can find a way to get open and you gain confidence in your QB. Devin Thomas in his career since 2008 has 40 receptions 445 yards…doesn’t impress me! When asked who his hero was…he replied, AND I QUOTE,”My hero is:
Myself. I look at myself like a superhero. More like Batman, because I can’t reveal my true self. People either love or hate you, you can’t get everybody to love you. Still, if people don’t like you, at least you can show who you are and why you do what you do.”

He is his own hero?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I have NEVER heard of anyone being that self-centered ever in my life! There’s no Dad,Mom,Brother,Coach,Friend,Teammate,Dog,Fish,Bully,ANYBODY he could think of besides himself?? All I can say is wow! I guess I can see why he thought he wasn’t given a fair OPPORTUNITY to perform when he actually was given EVERY chance to prove he is capable of contributing. So much that they even put him at kick returner to get on the field! I’ll admit he did a decent job until……MR. BANKS came to town! In the words of my favorite artist Jay-Z,” You had a spark when you started but now you’re just garbage” Fell from 2nd round to not mentioned at all…til an undrafted rookie free agent kickoff returns were better than yours… <— That’s my remix!

Point of the story is, Devin you have just fired up an already fired up Redskins Nation and I hope that you are ready to be a target for our Special Teams gunners because thats the only way I believe you will touch the field. You got what you wanted sir…The Deadskins are ready for you!! Hope you dont miss this OPPORTUNITY… I wish you good health but if you gain a yard I will be surprised.

1. The Redskins were outplaying the Broncos even in the first half when Orton was still playing.
2. But for two terrible breakdowns in coverage, the Broncos would have been trailing badly at the half.
3. This isn’t Peyton Manning we’re talking about.  It’s Kyle-freakin-Orton.

So let’s give them a break and admit that the Redskins earned this win. They looked pretty good doing it too.  Let’s not go crazy and talk playoffs or anything.  One win doesn’t make a very bad team suddenly good.  At the same time, there’s no reason we can’t enjoy the win, and there is hope that we won’t be subjected to awful football week in and week out.  For one week at least, let’s enjoy life in Redskins-land.

Now if they can only play like this against Dallas! Hail Redskins!

A few notes regarding the game.

• The Redskins scored more than 17 points! I almost forgot what that was like.
• The Redskins won by more than one score.  I HAD forgotten what that was like.
• The Offensive Line did a decent job, especially with run blocking. The Broncos defense was getting pushed around mightily in the second half.
• The entire team was physical.  Tackles were hard. Hits were hard. Maybe the Redskins are still in the NFC East after all.  This is what Redskins football should look like.
• Devin Thomas is starting to contribute.  He had two excellent catches for key first downs.
• The fake punts are great, but please please PLEASE stop calling stretch plays on 4th and 1!
