  • Hollis Thomas

    This seems like an answer to our prayers. A big, run stuffing DT that would provide great depth for our DL.



    I know not to get my hopes up though.

    Saw the same thing earlier and thought the same thing. What was the severity of his injury?

      I think we did this before with a former saints player and it worked well
      Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

        Sounds like he'd be ready to come back about the time the Packers are hoping Harrell will be back. I don't see anything happening here.
        I can't run no more
        With that lawless crowd
        While the killers in high places
        Say their prayers out loud
        But they've summoned, they've summoned up
        A thundercloud

          Re: Hollis Thomas

          I don't trust the listed weights, so is he the big run stuffing DT (read: closer to 400 lbs than 300) in the mold of Grady Jackson and Ryan Pickett?

          Or is he more in the mold (closer to 350 lbs than 300) of Jolly and Corey Williams?

          Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

              1) Harrell may or may not be back.
              2) I think Cole has a limited ceiling, so I'd take Thomas (when healthy) over Cole--despite the age difference.

                Is there any downside to picking this guy up? We've got plenty of cap space. He won't be stealing reps from Harrell.

                Unless he's a complete stiff, I think I'd make the move.

                  I don't think so, but he won't be back for several weeks. Some other team might be willing to carry him on their roster--while Green Bay may not be willing. Also, there appear to be several teams interested, so he may have a preference to go elsewhere.

                    A lot of that cap space will be heading towards resigning our guys. I'd be surprised if we didn't spend nearly all of it on convincing Jennings to re-sign a year early and reward Rodgers for the steady transition.

                      Who are the current candidates for release - to create the roster spot?

                        Giacomini has to be considered on the bubble. He's not likely to contribute this year and no one would try to steal him off the practice squad.

                          Mike Montgomery?

                            How Montgomery? He's had 4 tackles in two games backing up KGB on passing downs. He's been looking pretty good so far this year as a reliable backup.

                              Montgomery has looked fine this year, and he can move inside. I'd say the rookie OL--now that they are close to healthy. Perhaps Bush or Peprah.
