They sort of "split time" with the younger players, with Vrabel skipping OTAs and Thomas avoiding a stupid preseason injury (concussion). No real reason to feel that way, but I can't help but notice that when Vrabel wasn't around, Thomas WAS and when Thomas wasn't around, VRABEL was. Coincidence? I just think we'd've heard some rumblings beyond just the dry fact that Thomas isn't participating in contact drills, right now. And Thomas LED the defense during the early going, to get things rolling. I really think he wants to be in on the payoff.

I think there's a chance Engram emerges down the stretch, although the likelihood of SOMEbody from Arizona showing up at 1 Arrowhead to play WR might spell the end of ANY current WRs on the bubble. That Long kid could probably come in tomorrow and make Quinten Lawrence obsolete.

But if we NEED him this year, it's because we failed to build the offense, again. I tend to disagree about McBride. First, because I just like him. Second, because I haven't seen 'em go to the well for a veteran OLB. I'm not sure when this "shoppin' Thiggie" stuff started, but it didn't penetrate my consciousness until after Gutsy-errez performed like a QB who could run the offense more like Cassel and Croyle. A wildcat kind of QB is a nice thing, but I think they're looking at too many people at too many other positions, and something needs to give. It makes more sense to keep the big, lumbering LB as a project player for this 3-4 in its infancy, than it does to keep a 3rd or 4th QB who is probably a longer term project for the offense that's being created. Thiggy might be a better fit for a WestCoast offense, anyway. I like Thiggy, too. But if we NEED him this year, it’s because we failed to build the offense, again.
