If you guys aren't surprised by Fred Thomas this year, then you obviously haven't watched the last two seasons. The guy was looking ancient out there and getting toasted constantly. The guy is playing like he's a third year vet with a lot of spring in his legs and straight up HAWKING receivers. He is playing now like he did his first year with the team.

the past few seasons, he's had to battle injuries and off the field family issues. everyone has a few down years in their career.

Which is EXACTLY why I consider him a surprise seeing that the guy is in his early- mid-30's. When a player starts battling injuries at that age and at that position, it usually makes him resort to nickle coverage, special teams, the bench, or out of the NFL. Thomas is impressing the hell out of me this year with his play.

Apparently the accolades dont stop there...Carney was named NFC special Teams player of the month going a perfect 9/9 including that 51yd strike monday night. God i love this team and how they have played so far this season. And i stress Team - this is a team playing good football without relying or needing any luck. A win next week will be very tough considering the shortened week but this team now knows how to play to win a superbowl. They have been taught how to win and they are doing it and one more time will seal the deal with all pundits across the board. We got ourselves a winner here =) who dat!!
