Re: Earl Thomas- Expectations
Also...he's not Ed Reed. There's a reason why Reed is a first ballot HOF guy.
Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Re: Earl Thomas- Expectations
He blew a coverage badly today. As great as he was in Seattle, he needs a better safety partnership and that's not Jefferson. Better call Kam Chancellor.

Re: Earl Thomas- Expectations
Honestly, at this point I can only blame Jimmy Smith. I don't know why, but regardless of who the other defensive players are, when he gets injured they forget how to cover or even play zones. Outside of the season after Jimmy's lisfranc, I've never seen the defense get torched left and right while he was playing, but as soon as he's gone even players we all thought were great look like undrafted rookies.
Someone pay Jimmy to release this curse00

Re: Earl Thomas- Expectations
The Ed Reed comparisons are silly. Thomas has been okay but I can see why people are looking for more. When you make someone the highest paid at their position expectations are sky high
