However, if you read around, you'll find reports that neither Bruschi nor Vrabel were universally loved as teammates. If you've got reports of Thomas as a teammate that say he's a poor one, please share them with attribution.:
Now, if you want to now about the Red Sox of the mid-80's.....
How is "go ask the coaches, they are responsible for the gameplan" not calling them out?
If what you say is true, then he should have stuck to the BB-BS coach speak or say, "we just didn't get it done and go back to work."
That's not what he said. That's what YOU are saying he said.
So, he should say something like:
"Look, these clowns have me sitting back in coverage. They got rid of the team's best pass rushing defensive lineman, shipped Vrabel out, brought in that stiff Burgess and changed from a 3-4 to a 4-3. Go talk to the idiots who made those decisions."
That's what he should be saying, on a Patriots team? If he did that, people would be reaming him for daring to speak out. These players can't win when it comes to pointing out the problems.
Sure our d-line stinks this season. But it doesn't matter because we got an extra first round draft pick coming in 2011!
Nobody seems to be answering this, so I'll open it to anyone.....I'm hearing again and again that gee, Thomas would be a Gladiator-style pass rushing DEMON, unleashing hell on opposing backfields if only that moron Bill Belichick would let him. Is that pretty much it? Because I can stipulate a lot of things--Belichick wants to emphasis containment, Thomas (and Burgess) is playing back in coverage more, whatever. What I can NOT buy is that if he were "turned loose" by the coaching staff Thomas would become an animal out there.
Does anyone believe this?
With game on the line, no coming through by the Patriots - The Boston Globe
I dont understand what he is saying .Anyone get it ?
sounds like he's blaming the coaches
Just bemoaning what he perceives as a lackluster effort on our part to get a quality pass-rusher.
The good news is that if we release AD, he will most likely become a Jet and then we won't have to worry about their pass rush as much.

The fact that Ben Watson or Adalius Thomas aren't productive this year doesn't mean Belichick is an idiot. It means that the coordinators on both sides of the ball behave as if they had no NFL experience before joining this team... which is actually true.
