After returning kickoffs in the third preseason game against the New England Patriots (and doing it well), Washington Redskins wide receiver Devin Thomas said that duty helped him get into the flow of the game quickly. Jason Reid of the Washington Post asked Coach Jim Zorn if the Redskins would have Thomas become Rock Cartwright's permanent partner on kickoff returns. Thomas will work with Cartwright on kickoff returns, but Zorn expects him to take the correct approach regardless of his role on special teams or in the passing game. "I think it helps a guy to get the ball, but I'm hoping that he can do it ... maybe somebody just has to smack him on the sideline," Zorn said. "You know, something to get him fired up. I don't want to put that [additional duties] on a guy to always have to be ready. "He's going to kind of hold us hostage, 'Well, you didn't put me on the kickoff, so that's why I didn't play well.' That doesn't make any sense."
