Thomas won't know until Sunday morning warm-ups if he will be able to play against visiting Baltimore. But Thomas said he is certain that coach Dave Wannstedt is unjustly taking the heat for the team's disappointing 5-4 record.
"The players have to be men about it and get an attitude and quit having a loser mentality," an agitated Thomas said after Thursday's practice. "Well, the reason I didn't make that tackle ... Well, the scheme isn't for me ... Well, the reason I didn't run the ball is the scheme.' No, make a block. No, make a tackle. That's all it takes."
