I remember doing a lot of praising for him. I've seen the guy stand up TWO DT's by himself (Houston) and hold his ground. Inconsitent as all get out though. Sad. If he could fix one little area up, he is so good at the rest.

Basically last year was Thomas's rookie year. He was raw coming out of college. Given him some time to learn & grow. I hope Miami does not give up on him so quickly.

I don't think they will give up.. But, it's definitely smart to bring in some competition to push him. IE: Incognito.

I think having good depth and rotation is more important than having a full time "solution". Reason for that is that guys will get injured, it's just part of the game, and even if they make it the whole year, it's great to have a guy come in and give a guard a breather from mauling a DT or linebacker and bring in someone fresh to beat up on him.

I agree. I still think Donald Thomas is a future star in this league. He's got all the talent in the world; kind of like Merling, if he can just become a little more consistent, and shore up the details....wow.

He has a tremendous amount of raw power. Even for that position. I think it's the skill he is lacking. Pretty sure that can be tought. Like I said, he took on the entire interior line of Houston by himself and didn't move an inch. That says something.

I think it would be a good thing if Miami could bring in Richie Incognito-besides having one of the coolest names in football-he is a tough mauling NFL guard with a lot of experience. I think this team is doing a good job of letting everyone know that no job is safe and that if you don't produce you are gonna be hitting the bricks. Even if Incognito or Garner don't unseat Thomas just there presence could push to be an All-Pro!
