IRVING, Texas – Amid the clutter of linebacker Zach Thomas (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/3569/;_ylt=AlEZ8x4YrzK_aSPrFIweYnfsYNAF)’ locker is a stack of three notebooks, the type with a couple of hundred sheets of college-ruled paper. The pages are filled with Thomas’ small, neat notes and diagrams about the Dallas Cowboys (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/dal/;_ylt=ApjGpyUL32mqxS5D9vpt0CjsYNAF) defensive scheme he is furiously trying to learn.
“That’s not all of them,” Thomas said with a self-deprecating grin, opening a shoulder bag filled with three more. A couple of them are leftovers from his 12 years with the Miami Dolphins (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/mia/;_ylt=AuwNPNFfzNPKIu.qXitf1A_sYNAF). Even so, in less than three full months with the Cowboys, Thomas has four notebooks filled with information.
To say Thomas is a football junkie is like saying Sid Vicious and Bradley Nowell had a couple of issues with heroin. Thomas’ brain scans register in Xs and Os, not a contiguous line.
