This is a dumb thread. If Thomas is leading the team in tackles, and he's a bum, what that mean about the rest of the defense?
The rest of the defense minus Ware and rat and Newman,completely suck.I never said Zack is a bum i said he is not a good 3-4 fit.He is TOO SMALL.

missing a lot of tackles...yet hes leading the team in tackles, explain that one.

yeah exactly... He must be one very active LB to miss a lot of tackles and lead the team in tackles (which he currently does right now).

He is too small and gets blown up and swallowed trying to fight off 330 lbers.Wade should switch to more 4-3 to play to these Lbers strengths.Carp played well,yes i said it.

This post is crap. Zach was having a great year. He, like everyone not named Demarcus Ware, played poorly on Sunday.

One of Zach's most productive years at Miami was playing the Strong side MLB like Bradie. This is a classic knee-jerk. Tap the brakes.

His numbers tell the story; both here & in Miami.

Ok, so he is too small and the solution is to scrap our entire defensive system to fix it. You can't switch to a 4-3 in one week. Not going to happen, or if it did, we would be horribly unprepared this week (and probably for a couple more) and not play well at all. At which point, everyone on the board would call the move incredibly stupid, say to fire everyone, and tell the cowboys to move back to a 3-4.

I have a feeling Canty or Spears will be gone soon, and Ratliff will take their place. Then we will add a NT.

I also agree that getting rid of Ferguson was a big mistake. He was the anchor, and our run D seemed alot more solid with him in there.

We've given up huge rushing days to Portis and now Stephen Jackson. Teams are beating us because we have been ineffective at stopping the run.

We need a run stoppin NT. Teams are punching us in the mouth, and we aren't hitting back.

That may be true, but you can't expect it to work in the short term. Its not that easy a switch to make, you can't expect the players to instantly learn the system and play well. It wouldn't happen, and no one would have the patience to let it work.

The good thing about the Zone is that repeat offenders like this dude establish a documented pattern of behavior. Therefore, I can now ignore threads started by this particular Zoner.

People just get stupid when we start losing.

Or maybe they're just harder to ignore.

Zach is out there doing his job. He's flying around. But because the TV crew had a good camera angle on Steven Jackson's outside run where an offensive lineman who outweighs Thomas by more than a hundred pounds held him, you think he's not good in a 3-4.

Here's a newsflash, geniuses - When a LB is being held by a lineman who is a 100 pounds bigger, he's not going to win that battle. What Thomas did on that play was force Jackson back inside, where there SHOULD HAVE BEEN HELP from the rest of the defense.

There was not.

And as a result, we get this ******* thread calling out Zach Thomas.

Get a clue.

This thread starter just wanted everyone to peep his killer new Avatar, Bro, Dude Bro, Dude, Bro... Dude.
Does anyone else smell a D-Bag?
