Thomas shouldn’t play for a club team here in Japan.

Really, his new position should be taking advantage of his raw athletic ability much more. Now, I'll grant you that with all the youth getting so many reps on D, that he's asked to be much more of a leader each and every year, but he's still not performing up to his potential.

However, he is a bit of Chris Thomas... failing a little more each year after his freshman year. Speaking of Thomas', why is Travis Thomas still playing football anywhere in America? Has anyone who has seen this football season think this guy should be a STARTER let alone a GD captain? I don’t think Zibby is that bad, he’s just been asked to do much more each year he’s played.

I think he sort of got accusomted to his previous safety position, and this new one, plus the new scheme, is putting him on his heels a bit. But what's really frustrating with him is when he seems to be completely off-balance when trying to make a tackle in space. Drives me nuts. He's too good an athlete for that sort of play.

By all accounts he's in the best shape he's been in, and there havent been those distractions he had last year. He still displays the same speed and ability to close quickly, he's just not doing a great job reading things correctly and/or wrapping guys up per MQ's post. Not sure at all. I’m not sure.

I swear he was a better all-around player in his first full year. This guy has not done shit to impress me thus far. I watched about 10 minutes of Inside Notre Dame Football tonight and Charlie talked about three seniors who are showing leadership this year. Guess what, Zibby was not one that he mentioned. (Laws, Carlson, and Sullivan) Is there something up with Zibby? He just does not seem to have that same tenacity he displayed 2 years ago. This guy was knocking peoples teeth out (not in boxing) and he can't even make a open field tackle now. What is up with this??????? Going back to Zibby…He Sucks!!!

The announcers on TV were throwing out all of that crap about how it was all about Sharpley. It was all about the play-calling, and the team as a WHOLE playing better, and some young guys stepping up big time. In particular Kamara and Tate. Only reason Sharpley should start is if Jimmy is still hurt. Speaking of which, the Grimes/West as 1/2 combo should be over and done with. Those guys are quality players that should have a strong role in the #3 and 4 slots. Kamara and Tate should be 1 and 2 because of size and sheer ability, and Parris can be a great guy to rotate in those positions as well. Those guys worked, and should be rewarded for it. Charlie needs to get balanced - 60/40 run/pass or pass/run, depending on the team you play. You dont just run and you dont just pass. Until we get that good balance, we're going to struggle to get a rhythm. Aldridge, Hughes and Allen need to be involved throughout to give us a shot. I know in the 2nd half we were playing catch up and all that, but CW has gone one way or the other all year so far... 100% agree.
