I don't want to be an alarmist, but I am needing to see more from this guy.

 

Dropped a TD week one. Blake put it low- placing the ball where only JT would have a shot at it. It would have been a very good catch, but that's what I expect from my $60 million TE.

 

This last game, Blake puts a ball right on him in the end-zone, but the safety did a good job of coming up and batting the ball away. Ok. The defender made a play. Not JT's fault? I'm not so sure.

 

Personally, I'd like to see Thomas fight for that ball about 1000% more. For being the one of the biggest guys on the field, he certainly plays small. In my view, Thomas should have bodied up those DBs, and made a play on the ball.

 

Again, it would have taken some really nice effort to make that play in the endzone, but isn't that what we should expect from last year's high price free agent?

 

Not sure if this play has been discussed; any takes? Am I way off here, or am I within reason to expect more out of Juilus Thomas?
