Apparently we got a nice stop gap at OLB now especially if the Chris Wilson experiment doesn't work. Hopefully this will give us more freedom on draft day.

This guy played 2 games last year. He isnt a stop gap he is just a training camp competition guy to see how he does. Is is no more of a stop gap than any other linebacker on the squad looking to take Marcus' spot.

I don't get it...per the insider section this guy isn't even a legit backup. He's a special teams player...probably a downgrade even from Khary Campbell. And if this means we're def not re-signing Marcus it's a lousy situation.

Edit: his 68 insider rating on ESPN places him as an avg starter; however, he doesn't look to have started much. Oh well, maybe Blache can make him better. Godfrey played very well for us during his brief stint and Thomas is way younger.

He had some significant PT earlier in his career. He does have more starts than most of our LB's. Maybe he was brought in as a teamer to take KC off of teams. Who knows?

That's a pretty sweet bikini! More interesting than the player.

Bikini?...wha?, wait did I miss something?

I don't know that he'll really offer us much more than some special teams play

LMsexyAO · 04-07-2009, 10:39 PM

I didn't realize he could go from singing to football so easily

This statement is not an endorsement of his ability, but he was a 1st rounder in 2002. He was also a history major at one of America's great public universities so you know he is bringing something to the locker room

Who the hell is Robert Thomas..? Oh, I think this guy worked with me last week......

SmootSmack · 04-07-2009, 11:12 PM

Taken just before Ramsey

With him, that means we have had five different first round picks from 2002 on our roster (not all simultaneously of course): Haynesworth, Duckett, Rumph, Thomas, Ramsey
