From the episode

Cohen tried to use Thomas in the way that best fit his offense and Lawrence and then found out pretty quickly that that's not really what Thomas is great at, and then they've reverted to using him in a way that's like more to Thomas's skill set, but in a way that is just never going to have much production in the Cohen offense...if you're the outside wide receiver in that offense...Thomas's biggest issue has been like the play strength and like the catch point stuff has not been good.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Thomas's role in Cohen's offense limits production despite skill set.

Thomas's production has been limited by offensive scheme fit under Liam Cohen; Cohen's offense hyperfeds the middle of the field, which suits quarterback Lawrence but leaves outside wide receivers like Thomas in a role that doesn't maximize his skill set. Thomas's biggest issues have been play strength and catch-point execution, compounding the scheme mismatch.
