Title: HOFer Zach Thomas #54
Post by: CF DolFan on February 15, 2023, 05:51:27 pm
Zach just did like 30 minute interview with Hoch and Crowder. Incredible interview from a guy who doesn't do interviews. It was really cool to see him open up with his buddy Crowder. I've never heard him speak like this and it was really entertaining. He has a ton of stories.

One of my favorites was after his meeting with BB. BB told him they were going to offer him but he couldn't have #54 as Teddy Bruschi was wearing it. Zach told him he didn't want Teddy's 54 as that was his but he wanted former Dolphin Larry Izzo's #53. He said BB laughed. Thomas then got emotional and said after sleeping on it he realized he couldn't do that to Dolphin fans so he sought out the deal with the Cowboys.

I don't know if that was a dig at Jason but he did sound like it was true.

Neither of them made the playoffs that year.  The Dolphins did.

JT did find success after leaving Miami.  He beat BB and Brady in the playoffs and reached the AFC title game.

Zach will get to speak first at the HOF ceremony and Jimmy Johnson will be introducing him. Only a few more weeks to go!
