Just came across this tidbit while reading bloddingtheboys.com. Since Romo had problems due to Thomas' playing, you better believe Garrett & Phillips aware of same thing. I'm sure Phillips compared the problems Thomas posed for Romo with Ayodele's play most of the season and really believes Thomas is a big upgrade despite his age. I think I'll go back and take another look at that game and try to track Thomas' play.

Mickey Spags most recent novel concerns Zach Thomas. It’s a pretty good article and I recommend that you read it. But in the interest of time, I’ll pull out the two most relevant parts. One concerns the good job the Dolphins defense did on the Cowboys until late in the game when the two teams met early in 2007. Mickey relates what Romo said to him after the game.

I remember Romo telling me a while afterward the Dolphins' defense was extremely difficult to play against. And he said one reason was the Thomas' ability to play the pass from his middle linebacker position; that he still had the speed and savvy to get depth under all those throws down the middle. And I'm darn sure you don't remember Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten, he of the 96-catch season, caught only two passes in that game, matching his season low.
