I love seeing him deliver crushing blocks more than anything and to see him make a play on teams? Gravy...

It seems like Thomas is the only potential bust left from the 2008 second round...

DT just keeps doing foolish things. I don't know why he has such a hard time getting his head into the game. His miscues always seem to be mental rather than physical.

Don't know, but MSU players have bad luck making it in the NFL. Drew Stanton might end up being #3 QB for the Lions again, although Stafford's performance last night wasn't very impressive. We are more solid at QB than a lot of teams.

No offense and all respect intended but I don't buy that MSU stuff. I realize the history of MSU players, especially receivers, in the NFL is poor. But there is no necessary and substantial correlation between college attended and play in the NFL.

Let me put this differently: there used to be "folk wisdom" that Michigan qb's could not make it in the NFL, given a string of failures. Then along came a guy named Tom Brady.

DT has not been limited by his alma mater. He's been limited by his lack of focus.
