If you've ever watched the more recent Football Follies shows on NFL network, you've probably seen Hollis Thomas. He's always on the sidelines cracking jokes during the games and the NFL Network had him miked for one game (can't find footage online though).

If he can still clog the line, we're to the good. And we could use a few laughs right about now.

[Dpantherman]

i doubt he will last all 13 games. even in rotation.

[Wither]

He is fat, works for me.

Rofl. Indeed.

Panthers need to sign these guys. They are awesome. PLus they could give a great halftime show

I think 2 of them are dead I know 1 is for sure.

not finding a way to keep Sunny was a mistake.

Thomas is old and can't stay healthy. Give him 4 weeks of playing time and injuries will have already occured to him. He is a band-aid for a few weeks if we get lucky.

Anyone have Ted Washington's #?

thomas knows what he is doing. sunny didn't.

sunny was a project at best. i think he could be very good in the future but when you are on a team that has to win now "or else" you can't really afford to take on any more projects.

i like hollis quite a bit. he's a smart player and good for morale. he's still pretty strong as well. for the time being, he is a good option.

only problem is i don't trust his ability to stay healthy. he was hurt last year with a triceps tear. the kind of freak injury that usually happens to older players. when you have a position that is already prone to getting hurt like we have at DT, you don't want to get someone who has a problem getting healthy. it's agamble that i how works but i don't really think it can for the long term (long term meaning the whole season).

I'll drink to that. I'd just like to see em (FO) try something.
