Re: Rookie Chase Thomas set to help Saints defense
 

Really believe he'll be a starting outside linebacker by next season at the latest...

And no, he won't be like Shanle as he'll have a different set of responsiblities and won't have to share coverage with Roman Harper on Tight Ends and Running Backs in the slot...

I don't know much about the kid but hopefully he makes enough of an impact to make the final roster.

Re: Rookie Chase Thomas set to help Saints defense
 

He played for Stanford. Their Football program has been in the limelight.

There is no shortage of film on him.

All 32 NFL teams had access to the film and I assume they watched the film.

None of the 32 teams drafted him, including the Saints.

He is an UDFA!!!!!!!!!!

Calm the heck down.

Re: Rookie Chase Thomas set to help Saints defense

Re: Rookie Chase Thomas set to help Saints defense
 

I'm sorry, I didn't realize this has become a forum open only to NFL players. Why don't people tell me these things, or at least insist we email in a a picture of our NFLPA card before being allowed to register? You love coming in here every once in a while and call people you don't agree with"yuppies", or "disloyal" fans. Do you even know what the term "yuppie" means? Can you at least give us an idea as to how being a "yuppie" -by your definition- excludes one from being allowed to post their opinion here? And please tell me as well how a person who states right here that Thomas (should he stay healthy, of course) is going to be twice the player Shanle was is in any way disloyal?

I've got high hopes................I've got high hopes!

Re: Rookie Chase Thomas set to help Saints defense
 

I don't know much about him but he seems like a teamer and a guy that's gonna play with a chip. I'm rooting for this guy to make an impact and start!

Re: Rookie Chase Thomas set to help Saints defense
 

Pierre Thomas played for Illinois, no tiny school either and everybody passed on him while I bet a bunch of teams wish they hadn't. Chase Thomas seems to be a good player and a smart kid. Of course folks will be excited.
