This is what im talking about.Dphins4me said:Frankly I think Zach belongs on the Overrated side. He makes routine tackles and no special plays, but gets paid for special plays.
Before last years collapse. Miami was something like 7-3 with Zach out. I do not think the D would fail without him and in '03 when he missed the player taking his place ended the game with 18 total tackles & 14 solo. Kinda throws a kink in the he is special and the D does not funnell plays to him. And the player who replaced him, is no longer in the NFL at this time. Hmmm. Special? I think not.Mcduffie81 said:I hate when people say that our defense "funnels all the tackles to Thomas". Thats such BS. The guy is all over the field and I dont think he'll ever get enough credit.The guy is awsome and our defense would be horrid without him. Its not the design of the defense that gets him tackles! It not the DTs either....its him playing with that intensity that does it. Did you watch the Bengal game last year? It seems every fourth and 1 he comes up with a huge play. The guy is special. He is the most consistent player on our team.

I think Chamber is very overrated, every year he gets mentioned with the leagues elite,(top 20) but up till now it is all just speculation cause he has yet to show he can play with the leagues elite.
For underrated Ill go with Seau
He take alot of heat but he really hasnt lst that much of a step , he just happens to be playing next to a guy named Zach Thomas who in our Vanilla D was funneled all tackles. But with a more versatile D with more blitzing and schemes we should all have alot of fun watching him create havok in teams backfields.

Zach Thomas- he is always among the league leaders in tackles and seems to be in or around every play.
Chambers- People dont real,ize that he led the AFC in TDs in 2003 despite our team throwing around 15 TDs.
Matt Turk- He was around the top of the league in Punts last year. W/o him the few games we did win might not of happened.
Wes Welker- He changed some games for us.
Over Rated
Tebucky Jones- he has always been over rated and for people to think he is an upgrade to Knight or Freeman is crazy. Both Knight and Freeman are very good players who didnt get any credit.
Sam Madison- Last year he had 0 INTs. He gets burned alot and seems to be missing on some plays.
Will Poole- everyone acts like he is so great but alst year he was our #4 corner. How could you guys act like he would have been a great CB this year when he has barely played.
