Since bursting onto the scene in the NFL as a rookie for the Chicago Bears in 2001, Anthony Thomas had a particularly frustrating time trying to maintain its relevance in the professionals. He spent four seasons with the Bears last year with the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints, where he failed miserably. Fortunately for Thomas, Buffalo Bills, he signed a one-year contract in April, and perhaps favorite team to save ball carrier.
As a rookie, Thomas rushed for 1.183 yards and scored seven touchdowns in 14 games on the road to the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. It was a second-round pick before the season proved as good as a legitimate starting point again. However, it all fell to Thomas as a man of 4 Brett Favre Purple jersey
the second year when he crashed FOR 721 yards in only 12 games, but the result was disappointing, as have his pedestrian 3.4 yards per average.
In 2003, Thomas was apparent from that that he was to prove it, his rookie year is no accident took acquired. The former Michigan star, for 1024 yards and six touchdowns, rushed lifting meters with an impressive average of 4.2.
In the past two seasons, Thomas has become a forgotten man in the NFL. He spent time with the Bears, the Cowboys and the Saints, while rushing for only 496 yards in 21 games. His yards per carry? A mere 3.0. He obviously has more than one leg of his first season and lost the third good.
But now, Thomas's former coach Dick Jauron has his career in western New York back hope again. Jauron was coach of the changes set in January before the enthusiasm of many players on the team. Jauron is one of the best coaches in the top of the league when it comes to the relationship comes to live with the players, since he was eight years in the pros as a defensive back in the 70s. Jauron '03 was the last season in Chicago, and was the last time Thomas in any kind of sense as a threat in the backfield set.
Bill starting current, Willis McGahee is not the kind of player who will go anywhere for a period of Buffalo. If McGahee shows a lack of commitment to the organization, and Thomas may be able to discover his old style of the game to see much of the next season with, McGahee would fall ill during the game. This may not seem like a likely scenario, but not discarded. GM Marv Levy tried to build the Buffalo Bills in any disengagement, and the general McGahee does not fit this description.
Provided that McGahee the forefront of the next season the Bills, the best picture of Thomas, of course, is to come as the most important reservoir. Bills backup last season, Shaud Williams, not just with fear in the hearts of opposing defenses in 2005. He landed with the ball 45 times for 161 yards. Williams's greatest weakness is its size, since only 7.5 and weighs 193 pounds. The 6-2, 225 pounds Thomas could have used a better opportunity for the defense for yards in a too good fill-in/third per share. Meanwhile, assessment by his performance last season would be lucky to break Williams, list of bills, 53-man regular season.
If Thomas fails to impress summer training camp and preseason, however, ended backfield as the third wheel in the Bills. At this point, Thomas is certainly not a castle in the list of Buffalo, by all means.
There is a slight possibility of a second year of 4 Brett Favre White jersey
Lionel Gates, the man could complete backup of the bills because he his rookie year spent promoting their development within the practice team in Buffalo. Prominent Ex 6-0, 224 pounds of Louisville impressed in the preseason last year, but strangely, never ex-head coach Mike Mularkey gave him the opportunity during the regular season.
If ever a place for Thomas, his career in production would rise again, would be in Buffalo. After all, is 28 years, meeting with a coach who the better of him a few years, and the competition for the No. 2 in the letter from the depth of the bills hardly worth mentioning. In truth, the whole world will soon know if the A-Train also continue to take, or derailed.
