Thomas gets hammered

Hey guys, I don't know why I'm posting on this so much, I guess being a Pack fan I thought I'd help to point it out to ya.

Joey Thomas is being hammered this week by the press in Green Bay and he may be demoted after one game. There's a few articles on the game and on what the Pack should do at left corner. On the lead-in page there's a picture of Braylon Edwards running past JT and a caption talking describing JT getting "burned"

That is a bummer, although I think Joey has a much better attitude and wants to improve where Carroll seems to think he is just fine at the level he is. Given the Packer's choice I think the coaches will stick with Joey for a couple games. Just my thoughts, but I hope Joey can hang in there and become a permanent fixture in the NFL.

When Edwards ran by him Joey couldn't come close to catching him. In fact the new safety for GB blew by Joey chasing Edwards. Joey looked very slow on the play. Joey also had a penalty in the first quarter that was not excepted because of the big gain he gave up. I hope he improves.

Corners get beat ... every single one in the NFL. How many points has GB given up the last 2 games???

He apparently really got hammered. I guess Joey didn't even suit up last week due to a possible concussion he sustained when tackling Rueben Drougns in week two. Know Carroll hasn't practiced this week due to a knee injury so Joey is probable for this week and Carrol is Doubtful. Hopefully JET can stay healthy!
