LB Mentallity

Re: Rookie Chase Thomas set to help Saints defense
That would not be so bad. for years the saints tried to replace him and year after year he beat all comers. Shanle was never brought in to be a starter here. he just refused to go away for what 8 years?
I would be happy to see him make this team year after year no matter who the saint sign as a FA or draft. I am not ready to put him as a starter but to get an UDFA as your key backup LB that can play inside or out for the next 10 years is a win win in my book pass on the Urlacher comparison to different players with two different skill sets. |

Re: Rookie Chase Thomas set to help Saints defense
I don't remember seeing Thomas last year, but what I do remember is Stanford having a swarming defense. And btw, they got a bad call against ND on that final goal line play & should have won that ame.

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... |

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. Jebus........ |
