After the Combine: DB Risers and Fallers

[stlrz d]

in the yearly yearbook i get (lindy's)

they list sanders as the 2nd best SS and bethea as the 4th best FS

FWIW both are listed at a weight lower then what thomas checked in at the combine

incidently, so is troy

And two of the three you mention have been plagued by injuries for the past three seasons, e.g. Sanders and Troy

I think that is a legitimate concern with Thomas

Troy played in every game the prior season and last season's injury was freaky with someone falling on his knee.

I wouldn't call that plagued. No one who's being rational about his injury situation would use the word plagued.

Troy's game totals for the past four seasons:

2009: 5
2008: 16
2007: 11
2006: 13

Someone who doesn't acknowledge that he has a history of injuries and a problem staying on the field isn't being rational and isn't looking at the facts. He has missed 19 of the last 64 regular seson games or about 30%.

When he is the one player who your entire defense depends on IMO that is a plague.

I wouldn't call that a plague. There's a story behind the numbers.

A story like:

"Once upon a time we had a defense that was totally dependent on one player..."
