I don’t understand how Thomas can be this bad

WinterIsComing : 10/18/2020 2:57 pm
A #4 pick should at least be serviceable. Is he just not strong enough? Lost his confidence already? What a disaster so far.
Because he was

Trash at UGA lol. I’ve been saying this but noooooooo, everyone thought he was a Pro ready tackle. Fucking trash
Guys, it is just six games, he had no real full off-season to learn  
SGMen : 10/18/2020 3:02 pm : link
No doubt you'd hope he would be a stud out of the Gates but with OT's that rarely happens. I still think he has a "learning curve" and it may be next season before we see his best. I'm not down on him so long as Peart can play LT at a higher rate.

Perhaps Thomas is the RT of the future?
Yes  
LakeGeorgeGiant : 10/18/2020 3:03 pm : link
he was "trash" in college. All the pro scouts couldn't see it, but your stupid, nobody ass knew it?

Imbecile.
I felt he was the worst of the four prospects in the draft...

And was just anxiously waiting to be proven wrong.
I just turned the game on?  
JoeyBigBlue : 10/18/2020 3:04 pm : link
I know he came back into the game, but now I see Peart is in. What happened?
Practically all the fan web sites  
M.S. : 10/18/2020 3:10 pm : link
Had him as the # 4 OT
Early performance is bad.  
81_Great_Dane : 10/18/2020 3:14 pm : link
But this is a very difficult year for developing rookies. No real OTAs or pre-season games. It's not an excuse for the bad performance but it makes it very hard to gauge how he is doing.

I think it's important that Judge isn't going to just live with his bad play, or anyone's bad play for that matter. I like that if you play badly, you're gonna sit. Good.
Peart had the same amount of time to get ready for the season as Thoma  
WinterIsComing : 10/18/2020 3:17 pm : link
I agree though about Judge. I too like his best players will play approach, just disappointing Thomas isn’t good enough to play.

CowboyHaters : 10/18/2020 3:23 pm : link
Obviously has been a major disappointment. I think someone said this might turn out like the ‘82 draft when the Giants picked Butch Woolfolk in the first round and Joe Morris in the second round.
He is making mental errors  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 10/18/2020 3:31 pm : link
Sometimes those compound. He looks like he is overthinking everything.

Wow, yeah you are a fucking scouting geenyus. How come you are not in anyone's front office there, Mr. Geenyus?
I see the excuses alive and well  
giantstock : 10/18/2020 3:33 pm : link
Let's not hold the player's accountable. How dare we do that as fans. The coach is holding him accountable but when a fan complains - go after the fan and not the player.

The acceptance of losing here continues ot reach new lows.

For me -- there is no way I am giving up on Thomas - but but but

he was my 3rd preference - but more importantly I have no confidence in our GM - so I am concerned for that. However- this is year 1.

Trash? Seriously? This is Lil' Greg levels of dumb.

WillVAB : 10/18/2020 4:04 pm : link
I predicted he would be the biggest bust leading up to the draft.
Week 6  
jpkmets : 10/18/2020 4:05 pm : link
In a completely unusual offseason. How about letting the season progress a little more before deciding a rookie is a bust?
Fundamentals have been very inconsistent.....  
Simms11 : 10/18/2020 4:07 pm : link
His punch has to get better and he needs to learn to sustain his blocks. He will learn, but needs lots of reps.
We forget  
hammock man : 10/18/2020 4:21 pm : link
that Nate Solder was slated to start while Thomas was brought along slowly. Patience,fellow Giants fans, patience.
Judge Said Thomas Violated Team Policy

If the best players play, then how does anyone defend Fleming keeping his starting spot? He's been the worst of the bunch. Hernandez is right behind him, but Lemieux still hasn't taken a snap on the OL.

Yeah, I thought for sure Peart would take Flemings spot instead of Thomas, but alas. I know its just one game, but Peart and Thomas both being rookies, Peart is playing and looked today much more like the 1st round pick than Thomas.

I don’t know....our OL coach, who I have a lot of respect for, believes Thomas can be a great LT in this league. I don’t think that was just coach speak either.

Other experts also spoke highly of Thomas coming out this year.

Makes sense as far as Thomas taking over early. Doesn't really explain why Peart took back over in the second half though. Did be address that?
Sy's draft review  
XBRONX : 10/18/2020 5:05 pm : link
of Thomas horrible pass pro was spot on.
Please read Sy'56's  
section125 : 10/18/2020 5:06 pm : link
write up on Thomas. Please note the part that says whichever team drafts him will need to be patient with his pass blocking....

Looks to me that Sy knows what he is looking at...so calm down. Thomas is probably working on changing his technique to the proper method, so he is stuck between what he used to do and what he must do.

Lol you sick fuck...how you been buddy? Great to hear from you!!!
Did you guys watch the game today?  
fireitup77 : 10/18/2020 5:37 pm : link
He got beat once today on a run play. Thats it. Otherwise he played very well. So did Peart.
Thomas as fine today, as was Peart - this is actually very promising  
PatersonPlank : 10/18/2020 5:41 pm : link
Thomas didn't seal the back on a short run and Sweat made the play to stop the 3rd down run. Thats the only issue I saw.
Somehow..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 10/18/2020 6:44 pm : link
you'd think starting this thread might cause one to delete it when they realized why Thomas was out.

You'd think....
