To say that Michael Thomas is back to the type of production that he used to have before his injuries is not true. Here’s hoping he gets there.

He's absolutely back. The only difference is he has help in Olave and Shaheed when three years ago he was the only option. When Underhill says he is absolutely back he's not talking numbers, he's talking ability, the way he looks on the field, the way move and runs his routes, the way he catches the ball. He's back to making the same plays as before, but not being required to make as many.

I hope to hell his numbers are never forced to be what they were in 2019, but I have no doubt they could be if, God forbid, we lost Olave and/or Shaheed.

Who Dat!
