Zack Thomas on possibility of being a Patriot - New England Patriots Forums

PATRIOTSFANINPA · 02-15-2008, 05:40 PM

On sirius radio Zack was asked what he thought about being a Patriot next season and he goes on to say it all in the miami papers but nothing is going on with that rumor.

He then goes on to say that he and Izzo are good friends and if he came to New England and Bruschi had retired he would not take #54 as he says Bruschi is an icon in New England and he would not want to take his number for respect and joked with Izzo that his #53 would be more likely his choice.

Already sounds like Patriots material to me,All about whats good for the team and not himself,gotta like the guy.

But its all here say for now - lets see if NE strikes early in the 2008 FA period....and I dont mean signing guys like TJ Slaughter

He is 5'11 228lbs, 34 Years old and has a Concussion problem.
I hope they don't sign him.

But he knows how to play football at a top level....I would be concerned with his injuries of course..but platooning inside with younger/older players would not at all be bad. Again..if the injuries were not a problem..

The Huskers are ******s.

No offense, of course. I just hate that state and the infatuation they have with the frigging Huskers.

lb by committee, i have no problem with that.

In there for less snaps. Freasher and more focused if they are less exhausted.

It all comes down to health weather zach or morgan are signed.

This raises the question-

Do the Patriots retire Bruschi's #54?

It would be really weird to see somebody else with it.

He'd likely be a Phifer-esque cover linebacker, though he has played in a two-gap 3-4 before (which Saban implemented). It sounds like he's seriously contemplating coming to Foxboro. I can't imagine Belichick and co. not wanting him.

I agree with that ....#54 is golden.
