Championship!

Anyone see his latest one handed catch?

If Beckham had done either of the ones he's pulled in during camp it would be on nonstop repeat. The man looks a steal in R2 so far

Re: Story on Michael Thomas
 

Yes sir. Beautiful one handed catch. Gifted athlete.
His future is bright.

this kids desire is what is going to make him great. he wants to eb the best. big things in store

Re: Story on Michael Thomas
 

Here is the thing about the one handed catches. Players should always try and catch with two hands no matter what. If a situation calls for a one handed catch because of an errant pass or whatever then that's fine. Ever since OBJ one handed grab young players are just doing it for the sake of doing it. It is fine if you can but come game time and they pull that **** and inadvertently cause a turnover or whatever then there is a problem.
Payton was asked how he felt about Thomas' one handed catches and he flat out said he needs to catch the ball with two hands.
It's becoming a show off trend in the NFL right now.

Re: Story on Michael Thomas
 

I agree but i dont see either of his being done for the cameras. He needed to get balanced and turned around to get anything on the ball.

Its a good skill to have obviously
Id have no time for it if it was just being flash

Teams are going to catch wind of this and take offense. Guarantee you they're going to put Mike Thomas on blast and test him.

Hopefully they won't be able to stop him or injure him in the process.

KNOCK ON WOOD

Re: Story on Michael Thomas
 

If a player isn't trying to be flashy then a one handed catch would be something that happened out of instinct.

I've made a couple myself back in my playing days, made one on a crossing route in front of a safety in practice and when the play was over, I wondered how the hell I just made that catch look so effortless.

Hopefully Thomas isn't one of those divas that spend all pregame making one handed catches and then drop a wide open deep pass like Beckham did.

He's only using one hand just to make it fair for the DB's. :p

Re: Story on Michael Thomas
 

All depends on which post you read "Championship" or "It's Over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I told you we should have picked what's his name over............."

Re: Story on Michael Thomas
 

Just catch it. 1st downs and touch downs.
3rd down conversions and moving the chains.
He's a "hands' catcher so I like him starting right there.
Possession guys are all the rave with me, wide open or in a crowd.
Sustained drives are lacking so far because of drops, fumbles and miscommunications.
I'm hoping that all gets better with Thomas, Cooks, Snead and Fleener on
the field together to take the pressure off each other and opening things up.
Running game is looking suspect again so pass connections will have to be made.
Thomas can be a big part of that happening.

Ditto Lee! We will have the best WR corps in the NFL this year. We need to keep a couple of blocking fullbacks on the roster just in case.

Know I've said this before, but if you're a Falcons fan, you're thinking:

Falcons Fan screaming "WTF! We spend a whole draft to get Julio Jones and the Saints spend a second round pick and get the same type receiver!!!"

Sobbingly, "Why does God hate us?!?"

"F*ck My Life!!!" exclaims Falcons Fans...
