Pats’ Thomas won’t play Sunday after meeting flap
Posted: December 12th, 2009 | Jason La Canfora | Tags: Adalius Thomas, New England Patriots

Patriots LB Adalius Thomas will not be active for Sunday’s game against the Panthers, according to a league source.

Thomas, who was a healthy scratch once before this season, was on New England’s list of early inactives, the source said.

Thomas was among four players sent home Wednesday for arriving late to an 8 a.m. team meeting. Thomas spoke out about that punishment earlier this week and has been at odds with coach Bill Belichick at times this season.

Thomas, a high-priced free-agent signee before the 2007 season, has failed to put up the kind of numbers that he did with the Ravens, and some Patriots teammates believe he could be let go after the season given his conflicts with Belichick. Some wonder if Thomas will see the field again this season as well, unless injuries force the coaching staff to use him.

Dude called to say that road conditions were bad and that he was on his way. Ended up 9 minutes late.

Bill is cracking the whip...

Belichic is trying to get his team under control....It seems they can't do anything right and Bill is going to ride them hard and hope for a turn around. On a side note I'm a coach and anyone who has ever tried to bi*** about my coaching got a little sit down. I always started with asking them how they would fix the situation. No one ever had answers. At that point they get called down publicly every chance I got and I rode them hard until they came around or quit. In My book the coach is the top of the pecking order.
