Please, people, Pats fans of all people should know better than to take Thomas's quotes out of context.
Read the actual interview as Reiss transcribes it, and those crazy quotes from Adalius are not at all combative.
I'm not saying he didn't give poor effort in the Broncos game. I'm saying that, in the whole interview, an answer like this one "Belichick has all the answers" comes off differently when the player is telling the media that it's the player's job to be ready and do the best he can, and it's the coaches job to decide who plays, etc. I know it sounds bad out of context, but he was literally asking the media to change the subject, and to ask Belichick about why he was benched, because he didn't have an answer.
It's just annoying to see Thomas and Burgess make all the money and do nothing, while guys liek Guyton and Ninkovich produce results for peanuts.
Good question but the answer would take too long.You think so? Seems to me that most American companies work in this manner. What's so different?

When a guy has 20M in the bank, it's a little hard to "break his will".
Hopefully BB has learned from this. Don't overpay for "talent". AT is just another guy and he's being paid like a superstar. It's a shame.
I don't see this one working out well.
People are being way too harsh on Adalius. We overpaid for a pretty good player on a great Ravens defense, plain and simple. Did you guys know who Adalius was in the 2000s? I hardly heard his name mentioned. I am disappointed in his play, but let's remember this isn't Lawrence Taylor, Charles Haley,or Bryant Young. The expectations we are putting on AD is astronomically high. In Baltimore he was merely a piece to the puzzle. He was never the focal point of that dominant defense. Looking at his stats, he had one breakout season in 2006, which I believe was his contract year and registered 11 sacks. He has never been a consistent "sacks" guy, I don't know about the qb hurries. He has had some forced fumbles and a few interceptions here and there, but nothing eye popping.
If it's leadership we need,
If it's pass-rushing we need,
If it's edge-setting we need,
Then why not invite Willie Mac to Foxborough for a workout?
I'm only half-kidding, because while he prob. won't provide any pass-rush, can Willie really be any worse than the excreble Derrick Burgess? Homey don't think so. For that matter, is AT really worse than Burgess?
Imagine Willie & Junior in the same locker room: I doubt that slackers like Burgess, AT, Bodden, Springs, Wheatley, Crable or anybody on the OL would get away with the half-ass crap they're pulling now. Of course, talking & leadership will only go as far as their production will take them.
Just curious, but what exactly would be the cap implications of releasing Burgess?

On what basis are you calling Bodden, Springs, Wheatley, and Crable and "the entire OL" slackers?
Oh wait, it's captain stone. Nevermind.
