dont like the idea one bit. he was drafted to sack, he sucked, fast forward a few years and hes quietly become underappreciated. dunno how many run plays wouldve gone for more if thomas hadnt taken on blockers and forced RB's to redirect. also his trade value IMO doesnt favor us as opposed to his actual impact on our defense not that hes amazing, just saying hes become a pretty solid factor in our run defense and gholston sure as fuck isnt gonna fill that role. (i hold out a little hope based on the Pace theory, but he seems to lack passion and when something like that is even noticable on tape thats scary) too bad cuz with size and speed like that we shouldve heard alot more of the Carr Crashes in the regular season. oh well
I'd actually prefer the front office make a change with Gholston. Get rid of him and get whatever they can because something is better than nothing...he sucks.
The thought of trading a guy that has been productive in our system and is a solid player and substituting in a guy that can't even get on the field on ST's is mindboggling.
I can deal with him being on the roster as long as he's not starting. His lack of pass rushing ability as an OLB is a big reason why we can't get any pressure without blitzing the crap out of the other team. I don't think Rex is a big fan of his either...
