Hollis Thomas doing better than Kemoeatu?

[Woodcookedbbq]

After watching and evaluating Hollis' performance these last few games, I've come to the conclusion that he's a lot better than Kemo. He should get the starting job over him if he sticks around. Also, we need the depth.

Kemo was never given a chance in this system cause he got hurt, he may do well in it too. I don't see him around though, money reasons.

I've always said, Kemo was trash. He truly is.. He isn't an elite DT, he's just a fat guy.. There are big DT's who can do more than just take up space, and Kemo is not one of them.

Ray Lewis hated him in Baltimore because the LBers would have to clean up for him all the time. He mentioned in interviews how the defensive line had to play better because they were making the LBers do their job when Kemo was there.

Bottom line, Kemo sucks, lots of better options.

Hollis Thomas is the man!! Obviously his career is near the end, but he has done a lot to help the defense tranform from that calamity we saw in the preseason and early season to the borderline great unit they have been the past few weeks.

On top of that, Hollis is a great personality and genuinely looks like he is having fun out there. Not to mention he has been pretty good, especially for a 14 year vet. The other D-linemen seem to feed off his energy and positive attitude. In a season of disappointment, he has been a bright spot

thomas is much better when single blocked. kemo is better at getting 2 OLmen to block him. age is in kemos favor, injury factor is in thomas'. basically a wash.

What's he gonna say? "Thank god that fat idiot left!" Come on, it's just like the topic about Kalil on Fox, you're going to only say good things about anyone when you get asked about them.

There were interviews, while not saying it about Kemo directly, about how people on the D-Line needed to step up and do something so the LBers can work on coverage and tackling the RBs.

Don't let reality get in the way of your hatred. Just find another reason to hate him.

So? Tons of time players say that to get them motivated.

I have a feeling Ray Lewis is the type of guy who wouldnt praise a guy if he didnt believe it.

Yeah, I'm making it up

Reality is, Kemo got ran over for a TD by Cadillac Williams. Someone who can "take up 2 tackles" sure can tackle a small RB well. Kemo can't even run in practice without tumbling over on his ankles and breaking them, you think he's going to do anything other than be a fat guy in the middle?

He probably was trying to get the D-Line motivated with what he said about the defense on their struggling year a few years ago. Probably for the same reason I mentioned.

Kemo's a one dimensional DT. his only trick is stopping the run, which he isn't quite that good at, and he has no pass rushing capabilities, he can't generate pressure in the passing game, and that's why he's not as good as people like to think he is.

I don't think anyone here thought Kemo was a good pass rusher. What we do bleeive is that he a good stuffer and run defender.

which hardly makes him a good DT since the past 4 years all a QB has had to do is step up in the pocket to avoid edge rushers because there's no interior push, resulting in many many many frustrating 3rd down conversions.
