Yep, every year there's more and more of these guys, who had diminishing returns yet want to be the highest paid player in the league. You just know there's an agent behind him saying, "Look at the teams you've played on, you deserve $$$!!!"
And in this case that agent is Bus Cook, 'nuff said.

With the little access to film I have, Ive seen AD get stonewalled by tightends, average left tackles and even Garrard ( the most priceless one ). I doubt he could move Vollmer/Light/Crumpler.
He looked like a beast on the ravens when he was alongside Lewis and other such beasts in an aggressive system, and he did well on ours playing ILB when Brady got us a 21 pt lead and we did playcalls like it was Madden; and just blitz endlessly.
He showed his true potential this season, in which if he's asked to do OLB roles that he's just a complete bust.
I wouldn't want to face him if I were a Patriot OL.
Why?
Because the guy simply does not give maximum effort. I saw him humiliated and embarrassed on one play last year, and it was such a bad "owning" that he was seething with anger. On the next play, he flew around the end, used his strength to knock a OL on his butt, and hammered the QB. It was one of his few sacks of the year.
Adalius is a player who mails it in. Unfortunately, I don't think he would mail it in in a game against the Patriots. I still think he has a lot of ability. For the Patriots, he just didn't give a damn or try hard enough.
The sequence I'm mentioning should be pretty easy to find since he had so few sacks last year.
Also, remember him in the playoff game against the Colts? He was a force.
There was no such game, not against the Colts. The Pats haven't played them in the playoffs since the '06 season, one year before AD's time.
I can't remember now who it was against but I remember Adalius coming on strong and pass rushing in a desperate situation. Could it have been the Giants Super Bowl? That would make sense since I wiped that from memory.
I love it when hard work and a right attitude prevails in a pro sport.
Adalius Thomas= acts like a P.O.S, doesn't care, plays mediocre, gets released, expects to "get paid". LMAO
Banta-Cain=Released by 49ers. Comes to Newengland, works hard, good attitude, shows it on the field with great numbers. Gets a contract extension for 4mil/yr that can become 6mil/yr if he reaches escalators.
You'll be lucky to get paid half of TBC, you P.O.S.

I wouldn't be using the play of the defense in the Giants SB as an example of how great anyone on our defense played, ESPECIALLY rushing the passer.

That’s what we always do, and I think the last nine years we’ve put a pretty competitive team out there on the field every year. I think that’s how you do it – you get good football players. Sometimes they are not always at the No. 1 position, but I don’t think you pass up good football players to get the guys who aren’t as good just because they’re at a position that somebody feels you need.”
