Zach Thomas

[phinphan4life]

Does anyone know if or when Zach is projected to come back. As much as I enjoy seeing Pope, Crowder and Spragan out there getting some reps, I really want Zach back out there.

The Sun-Sentinel says this:

Linebacker Zach Thomas (shoulder, ankle), who has missed the past two games, and receiver Marty Booker (calf) will try to practice Wednesday.

If they show no ill effects, they will play Sunday.

Hope~!! We have Keith and Manny cloging up the middle! No hope needed. LT's better off just sittin this one out. :D

Good we need thomas to shut down LT

you cant put the words "shutdown" and "LT" in the same sentence...

But it would be nice to have Zach back to help us try to somewhat contain LT...

Love the confidence!!

I think we can shut him down especially if we take an early lead

Crowder and Thomas

Traylor in the middle along w Vonnie Holliday who has played well

and if we get an early lead we can force them into pass situations

and we all know what Jason does to the other teams passing game :D

Your not really respecting their passing game are ya? Who in our secondary will cover Gates? Who will cover Parker? Madison will probally be on Kennen M. or whatever his name is, and a LB on Gates is crazy, so if we somehow manage to take a early lead, their is no gurantee that they go with pass the rest of the game, I mean look at the Redskins game, they kept feeding LT the ball when down, and why? Because the man is a monster that will burst through the smallest hole he sees.

Now, it we can manage to keep LT at around 3 to 4yards per carry on 1st down and hold him on 2nd, we can play the pass upfront and manage it if our secondary doesn't play sloppy and get interference calls and makes the plays instead of trying to pick it off when it's a easy coverage knockdown.

who will cover gates? here feel free to laugh but im serious

Lance on Gates? Then that really opens up the deep ball doesn't it?

The only thing that worries me is Gates being covered by a LB, most times he will have a field day with a LB covering him, but he is somewhat recovering from an ankle injury, so he may be slowed down.

I can't remember the stats LT had against us last time we played them(when there was that fire and the game was moved), but I don't think he a field day. I understand we all want the Dolphins to win, but we just can't devote to stopping the run or the pass, we have to play both. If we do manage LT, we can hold the victory in our grasp, our offense just needs to step it up and score when they score.

I agree with what your saying

and lance on gates opens things up deep but thats where I trust madison and daniels

besides who is san diego's deep threat?

Parker is fast and that Kennan or however its spelt guy is pretty darn good running deep routes from what I've seen, he was ok in Tampa Bay but can get deep fast and make a play. Can't forget the Chargers liking to dump LT in the flats for a short pass that turns into a big gain because of his skills. I agree with ya on the what Taylor does to the passing game of the opponent, so if we get pressure fropm Jason and from Vonnie again, we are looking at quick passes and short gains by LT, which is what needed. So our front needs to have a day like they did against the Raiders in order for us to manage this game within reach... and if Thomas comes back, he can eye LT and stay on him and be there in a snap if its a handoff.

Sometimes Thomas is in the backfield before you can blink an eye, he reads plays so well, from what ive seen Mcardell is a possesion WR with decent speed who can catch the ball over guys, not nessecarily burn them deep, and im not worried about madison having the ball caught over him, I havnt seen enough of parker to really judge, but i trust travis daniels, he helped shut down moss and porter in the oakland game, so im hopeing he can do the same this week, and if taylor puts on a good rush that gives us a great shot

I havnt really seen much of the san diego defense this year, how have they been playing?
