Mike Thomas? puzzling

SaintsBro · 12-20-2013, 08:11 PM

Remember how everybody has been talking all year about how the receivers are slow, and aren't getting open/getting separation?

I don't know what his original numbers/stats are, but Thomas had a rep for "fast."

Just kicking the tires. I don't know much about him but the Lions worked this Charles Hawkins guy out too, in September.

Personally, I think it's Payton trying to trim a few fractions of a second off ALL our current wide receivers' speed, LOL. Guys tend to run faster when they think there's someone chasing behind them.

Agreed, I think Sean is just putting the "nobody's job is safe" message out there.

I am thinking that's the case.
Dawson looks like he is out again, but a LB? We are carrying 10
Thomas might be better than Toon and Tanner, but that doesn't get him on the field

seems like a strange way for coaches to be spending a Friday before the biggest game of the year, but what the hell do I know?

Cut Toon and bring this dude in... Sounds good to me. Toon may have a better grasp of the play book but stone hands equals wasted roster spot.

+1. Toon has been a major disappointment for me this far.

I understand he is a 2nd year player but I expected a bit more.

So when you go on season ending IR in 2012, that makes him a rookie in 2013?

It does when IR came before the 2012 season...
