The current state of the Dolphins is as painful to middle linebacker Zach Thomas as his groin injury.

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."

reminds me of that beer commercial where they are interviewing the running back after the losing game. The RB blames the rest fo the team "Don't you think your 4 fumbles were partly to blame?" "Not if one of the other guys jump on them" :snicker:

Zach Thomas lashed out Wednesday at the ''loser mentality'' that has crept into the mind of ''a guy or two'' in the locker room and said club owner Wayne Huizenga should ask the players -- not coach Dave Wannstedt -- for reasons the Dolphins are struggling.

'He should talk to the guys and ask, `What's wrong?' '' Thomas said of Huizenga. ``He should be asking the guys why we're not stepping up. Dave doesn't have to make any tackles, Dave doesn't have to kick any field goals, Dave does not have to run the ball. That's just the way it is.''
