Adalius Thomas - ILB?

[TruColor]

Humor me here guys, but wasn't Adalius Thomas an inside LB at some point in his career? Couldn't he be one again? Is he even worth thinking about at this point?

Personally, I'd feel a lot better about the Cards' defense if they could add at least one more ILB and another veteran corner. But, I'm guessing that I'm not alone here...

What about Clint Ingram; released by Jacksonville? He wasn't getting the job done for the Jaguars at OLB, but at 6'-2" and 240+ lbs., he might be better suited for the SILB position.

Hayes was playing well in 2009 until his back started to bother him. I don't see anything different happening this season, he may start out the season OK, but the question is for how long.

Beisel won't cut it as a starter. Is Reggie Walker ready to step up?

So the question comes down to, is Ingram a better candidate at starting SILB than Walker?

He was released because he sucks in the 3-4.

Nope. He's a WILB or 4-3 WLB through and through.

Wasn't Thomas the dude that - despite high expectations - was kept off the NE active game-day roster something like 9 times last season?

Granted, Belicheck has his eccentricities but still...9 games!

The Cardinals are not known for their enthusiastic acceptance of high-drama players regardless of how talented.
