Dolphins sign a guard; bad sign for Donald Thomas?

PrintEarly this morning, there were some rumblings that claimed rookie starting guard Donald Thomas was more seriously hurt than he was letting on. That same story reported that the Dolphins cut Boomer Grigsby and signed a FB to replace him. It also claimed that the Dolphins had added another guard to take Thomas' roster spot because Thomas would likely be out for the season.
Then it became official that the Dolphins did indeed add FB Casey Cramer and cut Grigsby. And now the Dolphins have indeed added that free agent guard. His name is Evan Mathis. Mathis was a 3rd round pick of the Panthers in 2005 and started 15 games for Carolina at right guard back in 2006 - Dan Henning's final season as offensive coordinator of the Panthers.
So could this mean that Donald Thomas is more seriously hurt than originally thought? I guess we'll find out soon enough. But things don't look good right now.

He could be just a back up
We did not have a back up right guard at all. They may keep DT and the new guard and cut one of the scrub WR’s. So if DT gets hurt again or just needs to miss one game, we will at least not have to put someone in who will be out of position.
Thomas says he is ok.,...
i believe him.
i heard him on the radio..he said he “man’d up”…and he said he was gonna practice. worst case im thinking he misses this week….out for the season no way
Its Sunday afternoon.....do you know where your beer is?
Well the more guards we have the better
T he more depth we get a o-line the better,Well hope we didnt spend alot of money on the guy and he can be ready for the cardinals…..
We'll Have To Just Wait And See
The South Florida media is infamous for making up/more of stuff that simply isn’t true.
Look and Armando Salguero’s piece two weeks back on how Joey Porter’s career was in jeopardy. I bit on that one for my blog. Kudos Matty for ignoring that one.
Porter’s career is so far gone he had 3 solo tackles, 4 assists and a sack. Terrible, how down his career has ended.
Idiot.
This may be a depth issue and nothing else. Thomas looked okay in interviews. That would really be a sinker for me. I have (like all you) high hopes for our 6th round guard.

I hope you're right
The best play he had Sunday was knocking the ball off the tee in pre-game warmups.

I'm a little tired of you taunting Matty!
Finsfactor, please stop it immediately. Obviously you are trying to stick it to him for reprimanding you earlier. Its not cool. We have a great sight here there is no place for the nonsense.

Seriously?
Porter made some great plays, including a sack.
He didn’t get lose contain as many times as Roth did either. Both of them need to step up big time.
A 3-4 won’t work without better play outside.
