I'm sorry, I must've been watching a different game than you guys. Yes, our safety help was horrendous, on that I agree, but to say retaining Fred Thomas is a good thing is beyond me. I can remember watching the games and wondering at what point the old man was going to stumble and fall while trying to cover a receiver on a route! At this level of play when your footwork is that bad you are no longer needed. There are too many guys out there that can be retained to do a better back-up job than twinkle toes Thomas and not have to be paid what he is getting paid. I mean if you're going to go that route, cut Thomas, with the money you save re-sign Joe Horn, at least when he was in the game he was productive to the team. Now, don't get me wrong, I didn't want to retain either of them but if you're going to, at least go with the guy that contributes to the team, not detract.
