If a guy who has only been cleared for a week is already taking snaps for you, you should honestly think more about a more constructive sport. Say tiddly winks?
I hate (or maybe love) to say I told you so, but I said that Murtha would get in there as soon as he learned all the plays. From what I hear is he way way better than Thomas, but is a little soft as far as playing with injuries and has not learned the playbook as quickly. Definate talent upgrade though.
I don't know what Murtha's health was like in the spring game, but in the plays I watch him, he didn't look like the man we need him to be. Hopefully, he's improved, I guess we'll see on Saturday.
