Zolak: 'Adalius Thomas not getting it done' - New England Patriots Forums

crowell33 · 10-15-2009, 07:17 PM

Comcast Sportsnet tonight 10/15, 6:30 pm. Scott Zolak speculates that Seau is being brought in to play the middle with Mayo, as the Pats revert back to a 3-4 defense. Zolak says Guyton will move outside to replace Adalius Thomas !
Zolak says that Thomas is "not getting it done". Wow. I had to rewind this segment twice because I could not believe what I was hearing. Hey, I love Guyton as much as the next guy but he is an inexperience minimum salary undrafted F/A. He's going to replace one of the most expensive free agents in Patriots history? I'll believe it when I see it.

PS........Zolak also unkind to Derrick Burgess.

Zolak is a moron

No TE has done anything against us this year ... Thomas is doing his job. Like they said on WEEI today - Thomas may not be worth what he's paid but that's a seperate issue. His job is to cover the TE or a RB and he's doing it well because we're not seeing him much.

these idiots used to say this crap about Ty Law until they realized the ball was simply not going near him ... the same is true for Thomas. If the ball was going his way he would have more tackles ... but it's not because his man is covered tightly.

Uh, I don't think so.

So far this season at least, AD has taken Seymour's seat at the the 'Of course I'm Overrated' table.

I think the ineffectiveness of TE's has more to do with Brandon McGowan than it does with AD. AD has been MIA.

He may just be that, but I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss what he's saying. The sad fact is that Adalius has not produced much at all this season. In fact, this may be his worst season to date at this point. Obviously, the season is still very young, but I feel I've seen more from Guyton than I have from AD. Also, I'm not all too happy with Mr. Burgess either.

Also, I agree with QB12. The safeties are keeping opposing TE's at bay. Anyone who thinks that the superb TE coverage is due to AD is just wrong.

Adalius Thomas drops into coverage on most downs. You can find him in zone coverage ... usually over the middle. that he has 15 tackles this year is mostly because they are throwing away from him and not at him.

People shouldn't take this lightly. If there's one thing Zolak knows about playing in the NFL, it's "not getting it done".

If Mayo and Seau are inside that still leaves 2 outside spots for Guyton and Thomas.
