jales22 Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Yes I think Rex will also want him. Will he be a starter? That will depend if he performs like he did in Baltimore or if he plays like he did in NE.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Bring him in! Only for a cheap contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 He was a fish out of h2O in that defense. When they signed him I thought they were getting one of the top defensive players in football. Very glad it didn't work out that way for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas is not a read-react player. He's a "here is your task, do it regardless" type guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodimwithere Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Thomas still has something left. He was just in Belichick's doghouse. Bring him in. Can't really hurt much; and maybe, with Kris Jenkins back, he will perform like he did for the Baltimore Ravens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Yeah I think he is worth a shot, and I think he might want to come here, because of Rex, and he and Bellichick won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hell yes. Anything is better than Gholston. Thomas would serve as the #3 OLB and could play in the middle if, god forbid, Scott or Harris went down due to injury. Not to mention, he knows Rex's scheme and Rex loves the guy. It just makes too much sense for Thomas to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 He wouldn't starter, and if he did it'd be in a committee type role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenseed4 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Sign him? Hell yes. Start him over BT? Hell yes. If Bryan Thomas is our guy off the bench, we are looking mighty, mighty fine on defense. In my bonered, jet dream: the Jets will sign him AND Asomugha and play a two-island, 3-5 defense with five linebackers and Leonard wandering the deep middle. Back in the day they called it the 46; invented by some guy that apparently Rex Ryan used to know. We basically send 8 guys at the QB and dare him to throw before we get to him or his passing lane.

Klecko73isGod Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 He was a fish out of h2O in that defense. But I thought Bill Belichick was a genius who could get the most out of any player and Adalius Thomas was perfect for the Pats because of his versatility? Are you saying A. Thomas was misused by Belichick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Thomas will be 33 at the start of the season, and has pretty much been a flop in NE. I can understand why Rex would be interested in him, but I'd hope they'd weigh this move carefully. I like guys like Murrell and Westerman, but maybe I'm just sentimental. I hope Ryan doesn't bring in Adalius because he's sentimental. It needs to be a smart football decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as sentimental when it comes to football players. Signing Bart Scott over Ray Lewis was a good indication of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenseed4 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 well except that the 46 defense used 4 linemen and 3 linebackers with a lb/fs type hybrid to play the 46 position. On our current defense, we have CBs playing safety, Safeties playing CB, DE's playing OLB, an OLB playing ILB, and DT's playing DE.... On top of that, I coulda swore I saw #77 playing some ILB on a couple plays last season. Point is, we would have four very capable rush-end DEs playing on our team. Call them tomatos or tomahtos, we have what it takes to play a 46, and adding AT wouldn't complicate that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing Bart Scott over Ray Lewis was a good indication of this. Well, Scott is more "his guy" than Ray was. That was Lewis' D in Baltimore as much as it was anyone elses'...He mentored guys like Suggs, pushed Ngata, positions guys on Sundays... Ryan brought Scott from UDFA to starter...he was younger than Lewis...Lewis' chances of leaving Baltimore were always small... I think the reason Thomas won't be a Jet is because we don't need him. LB is the one position we've thrown money at (besides QB) and we have more depth and young talent there than at most other positions. Rex wants more playing time for the young guys like Gholston and Westerman, not less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnleyJet Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I think there is a good chance we sign him on a 1/2 years deal. The Jets are being squeezed by the last eight F.A restrictions, and we are a little thin at OLB especailly someone who can bring a little heat. Thomas makes a nice stop gap and at his age (32/33) and an Axe to grind with Boston Bill and a love a player with a chip...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenReaper Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Adalius can be an effective situational pass rusher for the Jets. I believe he wants to play for the Jets, and his former coach Rex. And IMO...Ryan wants him too. Also, don't underestimate the revenge factor. Adalius would love nothing better then to show genius Belichick, what he can do when properly utilized.

Senor, I agree with you in principle, and I know that Rex would love to have Gholson make it, but do you think that he can be depended on to bring a much needed threat in the pass rush?
