Re: Cowboys sign LB Thomas

he'll be injured by week 3 and in and out for the rest of the season, be cut next season, then sign back with the 'Fins in 2009 to officially retire with the team.

Re: Cowboys sign LB Thomas

Thomas has [emphasis on has] been a fine player for a long time, injuries have set him back the last couple years.

He might find sledding a little tough in the NFC east being a 228lb MLB, if it's Dallas's intent to play him at that position. There's a big difference between the NFC east & the AFC east............Good Luck!!

Actually, Miami does play quite a bit of the 3-4. Dom Capers was their D-Coord until recently. But they mix it up between the 3-4 and the 4-3 depending on the offense.

But as I understand it, they want to use Zach Thomas on the weakside ILB position, on the same side as DeMarcus Ware. The coaches seem to think that using Thomas this way is very similar to the way that Wade Phillips and Brian Stewart used Donnie Edwards on the same side as Shawn Merriman in San Diego 2 years ago when that defense racked up 60 or so sacks in the season.

But Thomas will have to beat out Akin Ayodele for the starting position. If not, that is really not bad depth at all on that side.

Re: Cowboys sign LB Thomas

Zach Thomas was a fine middle linebacker. way past his prime. and doesn't Dallas play a 3-4? it seems rather odd that Thomas is on the older side, but the cowboys are one of the youngest teams in the league. strange move

Re: Cowboys sign LB Thomas

Zach if healthy can be a good fit for the Cowboys (i.e. what Seau does for the Pats) and the reason he was able to sign is because he was cut after the season ended but before free agency started

Shameless self-promotion. It is what it is.

He's still a good player if he can stay healthy.
