On the other hand, if his head is OK, his body should be in good shape from almost an entire season off.

That being said, in BB I trust. Thomas has proven himself to be the consumate professional, a game changer at one time, and certainly a more than capable player at this stage of his career when healthy.
In BB we Trust, you got it right. BB says hes a good fit, or any player for that matter...we should be excited. Id love to see Zach in NE, so he too can finally get a chance at a ring and be on a winning team.

I really don't want another old, oft-injured MLB. let's get serious and get some fresh legs in there. This notion of "MLB by committee of old guys" concept has to go. Especially when this guy is too small to have ever worked in Pats scheme anyway.

Let's pass on this.

Good pickup ... only veterans can play LB here ... there will be some every year and this year it's Zach ... let's hope.

You really think that Thomas is not an upgrade over Lua?

He probably would be........ as long as he can count to ten if he gets his bell rung again.
