Migranes still..

I really wonder what Zach's future is going to be. If some of these studies in regards to multiple concussions and their aftereffects are true, I'm wondering if Zach should call it a career soon. He has come out and said that he's going to play next year no matter where he plays, but some of these players need to realize that playing a game may not be as important as being able to spend time with their family w/o the negative consenquences from the concussions. It does seem like it may be soon for Zach to pass the torch to Crowder, but I hope Thomas is able to retire as a Miami Dolphins player.

I haven't watched much Miami this year. How is Crowder looking?

IMO I think he has been doing pretty good. There has been time where he's relied more on his athletic ability and taken chances more than he should, but stats wise he's 3rd on the team for tackles. Zach hasn't played every single game, but he still leads the team in tackles. It just goes to show that even when he isn't 100% he is still a great contributor.

woot :up:

Get well soon Thomas, just not anytime between now and 1pm tommorow :snicker:

We do get our DT Vonnie Holliday back though. He isn't a great run stuffer but he gets some good penetration from time to time and is one of the better pass rushing DT's around.

And I really wonder too whether Zach is ever going to play again. He has had quite a few concussions.

Crowder seems better suited to the Middle than the outside in the Fins defense.

I have always respected Thomas, but I hope he retires the sooner the better for himself and the Bills.

It was a Pats fan who was driving the car that hit his car after the game. :ill:

It's nothing to mess around with. I hope he retires for his sake, and the sake of his family. He's done his time for the team, now let them get someone to step in for him, so he can relax & recover.
