Just wanted to get your guys’ general thoughts on is play so far. Not gonna lie I turned off the game for like 10 mins of game time in the 2nd quarter due to just being pissed, but besides that and from what I saw I was very impressed by Thomas. The sack by Mack was a miscommunication that I’m not sure was even his fault. But he was doing a great job neutralizing his man in the pass rush imo. Does anyone feel he’s been disappointing?
He's getting beat by NFL blitzes that aren't necessarily his fault most of the time.
When it comes to blocking the man right in front of him, he's doing pretty damn well so far.
We were never making any run or winning anything significant, this is a year to lay ground work and look for improvement.
Yup, and once was when Thomas had 2 rushers to deal with and took the inside guy, which is what he’s supposed to do I think.
Haven’t see any obvious disasters with him through 2 games. Can’t see enough to grade his work in the run game (except that overall our whole OL has sucked)
He’s getting a trail by fire and not burning.
I think he should definitely be in the running for rookie of the year (based on play so far only obviously)
Giving average LT play out the box is pretty god damn impressive. I mean I think most of us got on board because his floor was average LT and ceiling is there with his tools. So he's already shown us the floor player he'll be (generally don't judge players after two games but when they hold their own against the leagues best I'll make an exception)
Week 3 is big to see where we are. The 49'ers are banged up so we shall see.
